I cannot wait for reddit going public, it’s going to generate so much drama, that’s going to be soooo good.

Lemmy instances brace yourself

not going to trust a website that makes money from repairing phones

also a lot of armchair battery scientists in here

Foobar2000 has been here for YEAAAARS, and I don’t think there is a good enough equivalent for linux, and by that I mean playlist tabs, global shortcuts, etc

who cares, that’s too late now

now Hamas will get deleted off the solar system

Netanyahu might be replaced and even if a progressive PM is in power, it’s not like Israel will let terrorists occupy gaza again, it’s going to take years before gaza becomes safe again, it’s going to be occupied by Israel first, and maybe the UN later.

there’s just no way Israel will be fine with terrorists after october 7.

If you make statistics, the left is much cleaner in the EU

I’m a game developer and I’m ashamed by this.

When chip production will halt because of the climate, you will see programmers optimizing their code again.

Jeez I hope this economy crashes.

Electricity should be expensive for all the benefits it brings

If you want profit, why not pick coal or natural gaz?

I mean really?

I wonder if previous twitter execs are feeling a bit bad to have sold him twitter to see it destroyed like that.

I mean it certainly proves Elon is an idiot as he used fraud to manipulate the price and got played instead.

But was it worth it to let him destroy Twitter just because he tried to defraud it?

The most retarded thing about streaming, is that it costs so much more in bandwidth and energy and hardware, like it’s not even funny.

When you broadcast, everybody watch the same thing at the same time, so the infrastructure COPIES information directly in their network.

When you stream, EVERY USER REQUIRES SERVERS TO SEND DATA OF A HD OR 4K VIDEO FILE.

THIS MEANS THAT A NETFLIX SERVER MUST MULTIPLY ITS BANDWIDTH BY THE NUMBER OF USERS. IN HIGH DEFINITION.

WHY AM I YELLING?

Oh nothing, it’s because the world is burning.

I won’t use them then, and go offline I guess

Even if they do that, some people will just create illegal website mirrors that remove ads.

On reddit, people already copy paste articles when there’s a paywall. I can totally envision that thing to be more common.

I am not fucking kidding, I will stop using websites if I cannot block ads. This is non negotiable. I don’t care about your business model, I have zero money to give you. I tried the official reddit app, and uninstalled within a week.

it was totalitarian, nobody wants a totalitarian state. communism and totalitarianism are different things

why don’t you quote the homeless people in the US and the drug problems of philadelphia, the capitalism of south africa, and saudi arabia?

we disagree, it’s okay.

Programs and format are not research. Nothing new was invented, they’re just alternative to existing things.

Food is rationned, meaning everybody has food, and healthcare is great.

A lot of what china produces goes to exports.

A planned economy is a regulated system.

Capitalism led to a deregulated capitalism, which is mostly under the oversight of capitalists, not by politicians or public interests. I want capitalism to become better regulated again, especially advertising. Do you believe that can happen? I don’t really know.

All am I saying is that under a planned economy, capitalists cannot advertise for products and target the reward systems of the brains of consumers which work short term, not long term.

Production should happen in a regulated system that benefits people on the long term. The production of sodas and taco bells are not in the same priority system compared to maintaining roads, to produce a steady food supply or have healthcare, teachers and a military. Supply and demand requires that you cannot mix everything when it comes to public interests. That’s why planned economies are much much “agile” in a war economy like what the climate is causing.

At least planned economies can centralize and organize how society reduces consumption and carbon, for example if the Chinese governments says “less car more bus”, it happens very quickly and people don’t complain like babies in a SUV like in western countries.

It’s immensely more difficult to do with a capitalist country where advertising is everywhere because consumers are being sold a dream of infinite growth.

Economic ideology has nothing to do with global warming.

Yes it does. Liberal ideology and the push for competition without oversight generate a disorganized chaos where people fend for themselves, without regards for the common interest.

Democracy is short term system, Tocqueville talks about it. Democracy is all fine and dandy when you have abundant energy, but it becomes difficulty where you need to add physical constraints.

As you are writing this comment, is Russia is a communist country?

Regulating capitalism entails limiting capitalist ideology. It’s simple.

Stalin and communism are different things

I’m not advocating for communism, and a political crisis of an authoritarian/totalitarian regime is a different problem from communism. Capitalism has a lot of problems, and I agree that there should be a better in-between to mitigate inequalities. Socialism is soluble in capitalism.
