  • They're just people doing a job that their boss made needlessly annoying. They shouldn't need to open a vault to get a couple hundred bucks.

    Don't punish the workers, punish the boss

  • Bread can identify how it wants, I'll still eat it.

    Jump

  • Only in the sense that people eat it more than you'd typically eat cake - id agree with that.

    But I don't really see why it's bad inherently

  • I didn't realize Europe had ethical issues with boring cake. If I could roll my eyes any harder at your disingenuousness, they'd pop out of my head.

    No, go back to your foie gras, the absolute paragons of virtue that you are. We will just have to satisfy ourselves with bread that is occasionally shelf stabilized, like the absolute monsters that makes us.

  • Right. Literally like I said earlier - it's just a boring cake.

    I didn't realize that Europe considered cake to be such a terrible thing

  • Like what?

    I'll grant you they're not artisanal breads with handpicked ingredients - but not all brands load up on nasty preservatives, and people make white bread themselves, too.

  • And all those regional European delicacies are a disgrace to cooking. I love food, but those pickled-shrew-taint type things are disgusting.

    I was commenting on the hypocrisy of you calling what is just a plain soft sweet bread disgusting, while all these European countries get a pass on their regional abominations of food culture.

    I know that plain white bread is not great, but it's basically just a really boring cake. The ire is unreasonable.

  • Y'all are like

    Yum! This fermented sheep asshole and rotten cabbage is true food culture!

    But you react to soft sweet bread like a vampire in a 60s horror flick reacts to holy water

  • That graph is getting dangerously close to becoming a political meme, given current events

  • Folks from metric countries, how does Dominic Toretto live his life? What distance at a time?

  • Imagine the 100m dash at the Olympics. But for cars.Just a short straight line. Head to head race, first one to the end wins.

  • Two sides of the same shit coin

  • That's a lot of words to write for either not reading what I wrote, or not even attempting to understand it.

    It's wild that I very explicitly said they're both bad and then you go on to imply that I, or people like me, think that one of these is "ok".

    And that you chose to use those straw men instead of engaging with the concept of relativity of wrongness, tells me that you probably don't even really believe in that novella you wrote.

  • Well put.

    I guess I also don't really know the average users behavior, or more specifically typical fedi behavior of users who would use a matchmaking service.

    I'm just highly skeptical of compatibility quizzes, it feels like there must be a better solution.

  • Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost

  • That sounds like they'd ban content promoting the eating of the rich, too.

    I'm all for banning fascist content, but I don't wanna lose the French revolution vibes.

    Jump

  • I actually think observing your actual behaviour would be a better more honest way of matching.And technically it's all public info so it's not technically a privacy issue; they'd get it over activitypub the same as all fediverse platforms already do.

    But it feels wrong to do.

    Jump

  • What would the matching mechanism do? Look at your fediverse activity and match people who like the same things as you?

    Could be interesting but creepy

  • But it also has to be defended separately by the admin of every server that has a user subbed to that community. Seems like a large burden to put on small-mid instance admins.

    I'd be surprised if my server admin was really paying attention that closely to votes on communities I'm subbed to, right?I have to admit I don't know the view that admins get of how their server intersects the fediverse.

  • I'm not sure how giving every server access to the votes solves that. The malicious server can make fake users to pump up votes. your server admin has to notice, then check the vote logs, then see what's happening and defederate them. That's pretty much what you described in your scenario, anyways.
