  • What sounds like a double standard but isn't?

  • When I lean into them all I get is boos.

  • What can an individual do to fight against tech billionaires?

  • EU has recent regulations that only apply to the big platforms. That's one way to implement that.

  • Fight for regulation

    The only thing that can stop them from their established position of power and influence is regulation that limits those, with effective checks and prosecution.

    Split up their platforms and companies, require transparency and provable decency, require structural or behavioral changes

    They have so much money, fines won't do a thing [unless they're excessively high and against their companies]. They have such established prevalence with their platforms, activism of and with evasion won't have much of an impact at scale.

    Demonstrating public aversion towards advertisers is also a workable approach that could have an impact [long term].

  • how can i make my brain stop deleting whatever i study for an exam

    Jump

  • What's your process? Where in the process does the knowledge get lost?

    My learning process back when I was studying has always been to summarize the material. Go through it, and write out a summary, and what was non-obvious to me. And then, if applicable, summarize that summarization, reducing what I could clear up.

  • are there any new-ish phones that are small?

    Jump

  • Ah, sorry. Turns out the one I got two years ago isn't a Compact either. (I had Compacts previously, and didn't want a big phone then either.)

    The 10 V I got is not as big as some of the other big phones, but it is a bit bigger and significantly longer than Compact was previously. 155x68x8.3mm

  • Why are you personally against lemmy allowing users to see who upvoted/downvoted?

    Jump

  • If communities were standing alone, that idea would work. But communities are hosted and shared on an instance. I find it questionable in that context; it's a slippery slope.

    Should an instance's users be able to vote on every community they see in their local feed, or should only community members be able to? Instance admins may decide a community does not violates instance rules, while users may feel like it does not fit the spirit or goals or mentality of an instance.

    It could work if only community members can vote in their communities. Then you could make community-specific decisions and consequences, and the border of instance and community would be separated by definition.

  • How would such rules work across federation?

    Sure, one instance can make their rules regarding it. But if everything they federate with ignore them, do they have to exclude all federated votes? Would they have to filter all votes according to some technical-representable rules?

  • I've seen it too often on Lemmy too.

    Most are of what you describe, but not all of them. I have seen valuable background checks before (back on Reddit). I specifically remember an elaborate post about bots/botnet.

    I don't like your dismissive qualification of "have so little going on in their lives". Some background checks are good and important. Dismissing people who are willing to invest into that in general, but also dismissing people who "have nothing better to do" for their situation, feels like an awful, uncalled-for, inappropriate insult.

    /edit: Rewording to better get my point across.

  • What are your favorite saved info/comments from internet

    Jump

  • I just saved this comment.

  • If existence was a series of simulations observing other simulations what kind of existential realizations would you have after watching billions upon billions of lives pop in and out of existence?

    Jump

  • Can we even reasonably determine or guess that? We are not in that situation after all.

    We can make guesses, but they are fundamentally rooted in our single reality.

    Jump

  • For many things, missing one thing would have meant it coming up elsewhere.

    Consider how some discoveries were made by different people independently.

    Some were not recognized or became public knowledge. You may very well find that what happened was not how convenient they were but that it was pure chance, and could have been more convenient in more instances.

  • How profitable are leasing out domain names?

    Jump

  • I just want to point out that buying a domain usually means you own it, despite having to pay a hosting fee. But you can take it to other hosters.

    I assume you're asking about niche leasing without ownership?

  • You must design an icon for a save function that can be easily understood by anyone in the future. What does that icon look like to you?

  • Uplifting my mood

    I'm pressing it.

  • Does anyone else get so tired and depressed from saying you're good when people ask how you are?

    Jump

  • Breathing? Just standing there, breathing, without giving an answer? What does breathing mean here?

    Jump

  • Adding a "thanks" acknowledges them asking. "Thanks, how about you?" Doesn't answer the question, but follows the social interaction formula of acknowledgment and throwing it back/mirroring.

  • What's your opinion on mandatory military service?

    Jump

  • Professional army.

    Support and train a reserve army of those willing. Citizens that could support the country and other citizens in the case of an invasion. Some countries do that. I like to think of those.

    Only if otherwise necessary general service. E.g. active invasion you can't otherwise oppose, or you can't establish a minimum reserve.
