No die, is funni
Wait until you hear of a little state called Arkansas.
The “this would never happen to me” mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.
I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.
Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.
“Of course it can’t be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them.”
I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It’s a huge deal.
The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it’s not only traditional advertising but viral and “astroturfed” advertising.
What I find really sad is how fast people call others transphobic. Numerous times I’ve even seen trans people being called transphobic.
Sometimes it’s also just people making honest mistakes and sometimes people double down on shitty positions if cornered by an insult like being called a transphob. Is that ok? No but it’s also human nature unfortunately.
But I get it there is a lot of hate especially in recent times where it is a constant topic in the US culture war. And it must be exhausting to see hate in so many places. A lot of actual transphobic people are akso not acting in good faith of course. This just makes me more sad :(
Depends on the author.
And with crowd strike we have seen how reliable Antivirus is.
Hmmm but what about all the image memes?
This reminds of the song Amerika from Rammstein.
Dog wants to go on a walk.
Being able to host the same community over multiple servers would be great. Or having the same account on multiple servers. And I’m not talking about subscriptions but upvotes, posts, comments. That stuff is afaik not transferrable at the moment.
Right now I lost all my posts and comments when feddit.de went kaputt.
Do I dare ask? Beans?
I am definitely on the hope side of things. Lemmy has extreme potential for growth. Just not explosive fast growth. I believe the strength of Lemmy could be “natural” growth as the threat of the platform going downhill is smaller.
On the Internet nobody knows you’re a dog bot.
Yea that can’t hurt. It’s just hard to do IMHO a lot of muscle memory.
Do you think Lemmy is big enough to attract that kind of attention? I would be genuinely surprised if it does.
My theory was that the content just floods over from other sources. Where there are bots / paid people. Anecdotally I’ve not seen the classic bots like you see on Twitter and Reddit here yet.
A few libraries come to mind immediately: fftw (I think the most widely used fft library) or GMP (I think the most used multi precision library).
Yep. That’s why I stopped distro hopping years ago.
Once set-up it just works™.
