This number inflates every time I read it. First it was ten years of hosting cost. Then it’s operating costs. Soon it will be ten years of the entire US GDP.

I’d believe they have ten years of hosting costs on hand.

My quick googling says they have 170m in assets and all 180m in annual operating costs. Give or take.

We’re the only country that has a weird obsession with religion and let women vote.

Stay hydrated!

Now I’m picturing people crying a Gatorade bottle amount of tears.

The Sadness Quencher

It’s white guys running an account with a aboriginal AI pretending to tell aboriginal stories.

Maybe they might get it 100% right and respectful.

And maybe the kind of white people who COULD pull that off, wouldn’t. Out of respect.

Julian would NEVER cheat on Garak

Thin slice apples, dust with cinnamon, throw into the microwave. It’s basically healthy pie filling.

We tried it clothed, but the baby oil kept getting absorbed and it’s impossible to find the right place to clamp.

Now tell her that Facebook is all AI now. Maybe we can get them away from the brainwashing

The goodest boy

Beautiful!

I hear this a lot from unmedicated high functioning ADHD types. The alcohol quiets the noise.

Most people would see “use Voyager or boost” to be akin to “use Reddit or Instagram”. Because why would there be more than one app to connect to the app.

It’s wrong, but any time you break from a standard assumption you require thinking. Once you require thinking, you lose anyone who isn’t otherwise motivated.

I think it’s more like:

If you think you can deny a child an abortion, do you think you can deny them an appendectomy? Why not?

The audience cheered and clapped.

And that was the full sum of their efforts.

Microsoft’s is “squeal”. Like a pig. When you get the bill.

This is such an underrated point. If we want people to join Lemmy, we need an app called Lemmy, on every platform. And if we want to steal users from Reddit, make the UI a clone of the reddit app but better. And allow people to join via the app, not some separate website.

It depends what you want. If you want lots of people to join, you need to make it easy to join.

That doesn’t mean we need to get rid of decentralization. You could have a federated joining mechanism that assigned people randomly to any willing instance. Forcing the user to pick is the problem.

too complicated

This is an Us problem. Download jerboa. Create an account on world. Done. Simple as Reddit. We make it complicated by explaining federation, options, different instances, etc. None of that matters to the masses.

Using turbines is like the fking most common way to generate electricity ever,

Except for solar, it’s the only way.

And I swear solar is just photons spinning some tiny turbine and pushing electrons around. I know that’s wrong, but I’m believing it anyway.

It may not be broke, but I sure am.
