Some things improve with age. Wine is the obvious example, but what about music? Indeed, some albums feel like they get better as years go by. Maybe they were ahead of their time, maybe they got overlooked or maybe they were always awesome but just sound even better the more you listen to them. Here are some of our favorite albums that we love more than the first time we heard them.
It’s scale.
Scale is the enemy of social networks. All of them, including Lemmy.
Let’s say 0.1% of the population are just straight up assholes who ruin everything.
If you only got 100 people on a site, no one is an asshole.
1000 people? Well now you got that asshole Andy in the group. Fucking Andy. But we can deal with him.
But we scale up to 1,000,000? Well now you got 1000 fucking assholes to deal with!
I’m reminded of the meme:
“Capitalism breeds innovation!
The innovation:”
So does this mean what used to be “the cheap seats” become mid-tier seats? This makes me think of this sub-economy airline tickets. Everything just gets worse and worse.
Why they watching the very end? Just to make sure everyone is happy? Plot resolution?
Infuriating?? That’s adorable!! One day you might really appreciate that finger in that shot when you think back on your mum.
While I doubt I could get my friends and family on yet ANOTHER messaging app in the year of our lord 2023.
Sup. Is a fucking brilliant name.
he sounds like a person in an abusive relationship.
"yeah, he hits me sometimes, but Jimmy's a good guy y'all! just need to give him a chance, besides... all my stuff is there, where would I even live?".
nah
Siri, while not great, handles timers, reminders, and dumbshit like that just fine without typing. I have yet to find another good use for these assistants.
Not too surprising. A good rule of thumb is, anything that gives you joy, happiness, or helps with pain & sadness, can be addictive. It can definitely be used as crutch vs. dealing with the underlying issues (such as anxiety).
However, there's a difference between that kind of addiction and chemical addiction which I don't see mentioned in the article. It seems to focus on the crutch aspect, not things like physical ailments from withdrawals and that sort of thing. It's hard to tell.
Generally, moderation should be the key and if you are using it to avoid things that maybe therapy would help with - that's not ideal.
This makes so much sense.
BBC wouldn't make their news site under Google Blogger... so why depend on other corporations for your microblogging?
Spin up your own server, have your own verification, then use it on your site and share outs.
I think they were ever only going to do it if Threads failed.
Oh how quickly redditors forgot that r/all was packed full of porn not so long ago......
I just feel bad for people who went in during Elon's "good" years (heavy quotations). He's nothing but a glorified car salesman and a verified idiot now, but for a while there, some people just wanted a more sustainable car.
