If you're going to be that paranoid and spread early misinformation, at least learn of ways to protect yourself like using the wayback machine or something similar. Guess the CDC is just cooked if one side is trying to shut it down and the other side is saying don't trust it now lol.

TSMC execs spoke shot a our the user workers uhhh...what?
Oh gotcha, too used to extremist civil war comments I guess lol so I apologize. I'm a huge proponent for Co-ops so I definitely get your thinking. It's one of the more peaceful paths I hope everyone gets into. Unions only work so far unless legislation gets involved (or things tend to get dicey and you're constantly battling a company daily).
I honestly believe that co-op communities that involve residency and occupation (separate entities though) is one of the only ways to protect yourself from capitalism, it's kinda crazy it hasn't worked on a large scale yet but I imagine competition both economically and policy wise tend to shut things down pretty quick if capitalism sees itself losing a foothold. Something like Land-o-Lake's company running in a town like the Bronx co-op city. Could have a whole slew of member owned companies servicing the area (food,transportation,etc), even have a Co-op that helps other co-ops come to fruition like a credit union (also a co-op) gives out loans.
It's all there, just no clue why it hasn't been implemented before. Got really heavy into researching and designing a small community area like a self-sustaining village that emphasizes co-op based services. There's been plenty of other examples and ones that exist but always seems to be some weird niche thing instead of just a regular ol' town of people that have different perspectives but can agree personal life shouldn't be a constant economical struggle for everyone. There's some weird gate-keeping or lack of social awareness around alternatives, both from mainstream and individuals so I don't get it.
The only reason this is even a case is because of the National elections and Trump's actions that he was held unaccountable for apparently.
The changes in North Carolina were among the most extensive state voting reforms passed last year and continue a trend among Republican state legislatures, many of which have passed laws since 2021 adding new voting restrictions. The laws were pushed through after former President Donald Trump began falsely claiming that widespread fraud cost him reelection, claims that have resonated with many Republicans.
Democrats in North Carolina and elsewhere have criticized many of the new laws as attacks on voting rights that often target minority and low-income voters. North Carolina’s changes in 2023 were pushed through without any Democratic support by Republican lawmakers who hold a super-majority in the legislature. They overrode a veto by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, whose final term ends this year. (link)
If Trump had been held liable for election interference /fraud / misinformation, you wouldn't have people down ballot having the courage to be so shady. If the Democrats actually tried relinquishing some of their control over elections, we might have a system that was fair and honored the citizens participating (they do very little in the way of FPTP problems like informing their base and usually step in to stop changes)
ouch, you had at least a resemblance of an argument till the excision remark. War and battles aren't operating tables, ask anyone who has actually participated in a war and ask if that's possible. I doubt you would find a sane general in history who tells you combat is a precise procedure, it's messy and everyone gets hurt.
“The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” - Douglas MacArthur

ok, but these conversations do absolutely nothing but flourish your creative writing skills. I have no clue what you and @Shiggles@sh.itjust.works are talking about but vague references with no real data or links to follow along or personally interpret.
Sure, except from what I’ve read most liberalization we care about didn’t happen until the 20th century, at least 50 years after the 1848 uprisings, and at least 100 years after the French Revolution.
What did you read?!?!
We even have modern examples of getting out from under dictatorships and oligarchies.
Why did you not even give one example!?!
The main problem is people just say shit to say shit. Almost everyday I'm actually having to look up multiple tabs of shit from comments because "everyone knows the truth" (or at least so emotionally invested in their own truth they won't even consider they might be wrong or read something false).
And now to follow along with both of you I have to abstractly search using websites that are just fucking abysmal to actually use the search function on, instead of just one little tiny link pointing me to a passage or reference. It just makes me want to tune out the conversation because there's already too much shit I have to learn and do everyday. I WANT this information though, I think history is important but it just looks like two people arguing over interpretations of data that we have no clue of.
Ahh, I believe we just have a different perspective on what the best outcome for the lemmyverse is. If this place was as popular as Reddit I would want to see hundreds of communities for a subject and not have one that has a majority of users. You can have a main link one like r/science I guess that has super strict posting/commenting regulations and discussions get branched off into subcommunities maybe.
Honestly, even .ml feels too big for me atm and I'm thinking of switching out soon. I believe, if you actually use this site to engage in conversation and read through the links/articles people post, that you really only have time for a few interactions. If you're just doom scrolling and voting away I guess I would want something like Reddit but I'm already neglecting conversations I want to have on here because there's so many people and things to talk about all the time (and memes, can't forget them).
lol I'm trying to follow along with all your comments but it just feels like you're trying to recreate reddit but with some type of block-chain servers handling the load instead of centralized servers.
Like, I get it. When you break it down, what's the difference between reddit and Lemmy? You don't like c/Games@lemmy.world, you can make c/Games@sh.itdoesnt.work. On reddit if you don't like r/games, you can make r/games! or some other bullshit.
Only 2 big differences for me is 1. the hope that just having different instances gets people away from the "Main Hub" communities, 2. multiple instances means less chance of corporation enshittification. Your solution would just promote the eventual lose of both of the reasons I'm on Lemmy to begin with.
I do heavily encourage cross-posting though. Would love some sort of "tag" or something where it's easier to cross-post to all of the communities that opt-in to be tagged in that category. Could have it so you can filter multi-posts using this feature so you're not blanketed with the post if you're subscribed to multiple communities in that category (could even choose a default like only the one with the most comments or your most active community gets highlighted while blocking all the rest, while still having the links in the post like how crosspost currently displays).
I swear I need to make a log or something at this point for when this inevitably gets brought up so I can just paste links. I frequent any community and respectfully disagree all the time. I have one moderation from when I first started and didn't "respectfully" comment (making pooh jokes, I wasn't trying to engage seriously in a discussion and back the mod action).
Let's make this easy, show me one example of what you're talking about so my mind can be changed.
.....
This would allow for the necessary centralization
The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks.
oh wow, not sure what was said but thankfully I'm lazy and hadn't replied to that person in another post I still had up (science post I was gonna answer their incredulous questions in case they just didn't understand but I see now it's just a troll account). Looks like they got site banned but it's unfortunately the shitty way where you can't see anything they did to know what happened.
I always thought it was such a weirdly-cute thing personally. Like, "Let's go Brandon" kinda feels uplifting (especially with how everyone uses it out of context to show excitement now) and I have no idea how any of it was suppose to be a dig at the guy.
I think my minds just confused and needing to recenter to the new normal at this point. ITT we have "constitutional citizens" going after Trump and Left-wing Preppers not realizing they've joined the community already.
So I've got a different perspective that might help. During the hurricane disaster this year in the mountains of NC there was a big hub bub about getting starlink and internet services deployed into the area. I couldn't fathom it, like people's houses are gone and are picking up debris to try and survive, we're really prioritizing communication over survival?!?
Then I saw interview after interview that finally made it click. People are creatures of habit, disconnecting them completely throws them off. Countless stories of not even knowing what day it was, scared because they can't contact family, just general chaos because the entire routine of day to day life is gone. Internet access/communication strangely helps everyone calm the fuck down.
You might be stressed in a disaster area, but being able to radio someone outside to just talk to for a while would probably be a blessing. Having the ability to reach out to loved ones of neighbors through a radio contact just to let them know everyone is alive would be stress relieving for everyone involved. I think now that it is important to have a connection-line out of the area not just for safety, but just general normality during a time nothing seems normal.

People are all different
You're completely missing the opposite though. Should straight-cis-whatever be just as private? How does that work with media and entertainment? What types of relationships are being used to tell a story and how does that effect someone watching? You can't just say it should stay Private when every piece of our society-fabric is woven with hetero storytelling/traditions.
A traditional marriage is a heterosexual parade (even have throwing shit and jumbling cans behind the car so everyone knows!).
Also, I'm not sure you're aware of this (I guess), but most people in history just don't come out exclaiming their sexual preferences. They were outted and condemned by the communities and people in it. They suffer in silence while those around them judge and make their lives harder (or end them). You can't ask a whole swath of people to stay "private" while others celebrate their relationship openly, I don't even understand how you can equate all of this together honestly. This just seems like a "don't dress provocative if you don't want to be raped" kinda view.
It's crazy how lazy these companies are trying to be about VR. Imagine nintendo or Sega launching a console without any studios or titles. Everyone is so fucking busy with trying to hit the next "tech boom" that they feel it's everyone else's problem to come up with actual use cases that people will stick with (wearing a clunky headset for extra monitors isn't a long-term solution).
I'm tired of watching these multi-billion dollar VR companies showing ping-pong demo's, real actual fucking ping-pong is 100x fucking more fun and it's never brought up. Would love to watch an actual demo with two people playing vr and two people playing real table tennis side by side for an actual comparison. (for anyone saying how much easier it is to play in VR, you just spent $3500 for ONE headset)
It's the corporate doubling-down that you have to worry and look out for. As you say it's a revenue source for them. In fact, they spent over 100k (as stated by them in their own shows) for "Marketing" to get this screwdriver out there, for something that's a revenue source for them.
It has to be such a lucrative deal for them that they are pulling resources from other revenue to prop this up. Prepare for the slow enshittification of his tools. They order them from a manufacturer, parts will become cheaper, bulks will slowly have less quality control, and they'll "move on" to later versions that pocket them more cash. They really don't have to worry about their reputation as a "Tool manufacturer", they'll just pass the blame off onto another party while sweeping things under the rug and continuing on whistling like nothing happened.
I might need a !remind me on here in 10 years.
Honestly, I just dislike the product more for it being a middle-of-the-road type of product then what I thought it was going to be when they were hinting at it plus the company and shit going on behind the scenes. I was a big linus guy back in the day, used to even put the WAN show on in the background during work. Guess this is what the Tesla people feel. Probably more jaded thinking about what the people behind the scenes are going through, while the money fucking rolls in for the top.
Definitely could describe me as a frequent screwdriver user. Currently restoring 2 John Oster vintage drill drivers, tradesmen, electronic repair tinkerer (unfortunately for everyone else in my life as well, it's always overwhelming), just basically always have a screwdriver in my hand every day.
I think if I were to reevaluate my statement, I would put it as:
"It's a shitty-looking-plastic Screwdriver, for 70$"
You can claim the inner mechanisms and their elevated teeth count "makes it a vastly superior product", but as someone who owns several ratcheting screwdrivers, I wouldn't recommend this out of the blue for someone. If someone has "particular gripes, all of which are solved with this product", then it might be a good match for you.
If you want to support them, the 70$ isn't a bad price ticket for what you get. It's like a donation with a really cool grab bag that you actually want. If you're telling someone who doesn't have a ratcheting screwdriver to first pay 70$ on this? You're just shilling for the company.
I can't believe I have to say this near the year 2025 of our lord and saviour president musk, but don't buy your fucking tools from a tech tip influencer. These are a MegaPro patent from an actual tool company. They are lower in price, rubber grips, and actually look better. If you don't care about the look, spend an extra 10$ and get the Snapon with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. It's the same one Linus used before he created this gimmick, he didn't replace it because it had "sentimental value" apparently.
I could go on and on, but obviously anyone that's actually looked into it would know that this isn't such a grand prize as those who want to push LTT merch make it out to be.
edit: meant to say shitty looking plastic, not shitty plastic.
I think you're taking some vague statements and trying to proclaim a universal scientific truth out of it.
"Even the most die-hard anti-death-penalty believer has their limits."
I’d love a source for this.
fundamental part of human nature. Subjective: (Based on a given person's experience, understanding, and feelings; personal or individual.
(you mean, like the complete opposite of your statements can also be true?!)
This is fundamental to the individualistic nature of people. Asking for a source on something ingrained in our everyday lives is almost a bad faith statement
So we have fundamental, ingrained states that you've declared to be unsourceable (scientifically) and is such a part of us that even bringing it up sounds like bad faith. Real "trust me bro, this is how it is" vibes with no clarity or justification.
That's weird, I see it's been edited but there's no "been edited" icon next to it.
