  • The server hosting the post needs it.

    It only needs to tell other servers the vote count, and the votes of people on that other server.That may not be how it actually works, but that's all that's needed

  • You're better off googling it, they'll do a better job explaining it than me.

    It's an economic ideology, and tldr the problematic positions are supporting laissez-faire capitalism, and privatization and commodification of everything.

  • I think they all played a role, but it was Nixon's neoliberalism that prevented the trend from correcting.

  • How come mosquitoes haven't evolved to not irritate it's victims during the biting process?

    Jump

  • It's like you failed to read the first 2/3 of my reply.

    The fact that many people are able to notice and whack many mosquitoes when they bite shows that it isn't only after 5 minutes that people notice, leaving room for an evolutionary improvement that would allow them to live longer and thus reproduce more

  • Why do people faint at the sight of plain-text code?

  • Programs are meant to be read by humans and only incidentally for computers to execute

  • How come mosquitoes haven't evolved to not irritate it's victims during the biting process?

    Jump

  • The fact that people often notice and whack mosquitos when they bite suggests that there is still a reproductive advantage to be had

  • Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?

    Jump

  • But that's kinda what I'm talking about: by sheer luck some of those interesting beers have gotta be good.

    People hate Coors because it tastes like water, but idk why someone would hate that; water is good.Sure it's a bad beer in the sense that it isn't very beer-ey, but it's a fine drink because it doesn't taste like anything. I don't see how someone can like Perrier water, but not like Coors, they're practically the same.

  • Have you ever been confused by someone online?

    Jump

  • Of course, to do this once is at least as much to far. This is obvious.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?

    Jump

  • I think it's of-a-kind

    Domestic/mass-produced European beers are much better than domestic/mass-produced American beers.And European craft beers are better than American craft beers.

    America has a lot of bad domestic and bad craft beers, but there are enough craft beers that some have gotta be good even if just by luck.

    Personally I don't think it's a big deal: yes American beers taste like water or fruit water, but I like water, it's refreshing. Water that gives me a buzz if I drink enough is a win in my book.

  • How do you subtly ask what someone's hobbies/interests are?

  • yo dawg, whatchu do for fun? Have you considered: me?

  • Why do I never hear about an artist "selling out" anymore?

    Jump

  • Its the only way for artists to survive now. It was always dicey before, but cost of living and meager returns on streaming mean that artists need to produce music with broad appeal.

  • 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?

    Jump

  • I was gonna fight you because "or if there's a better icon to us now that can represent saving." Is a reasonable interpretation of what OP said.

    But then I continued to read more comments and wow people just like... Explaining the floppy disk is wild.

  • Both Wikipedia and fediverse.party consider Diaspora, and a handful of other (mostly defunct) protocols as being part of the fediverse.

    I don't really like the use of AP to be a qualification of being in the fediverse. There must be a better way to qualify a platform, even if it means that use of AP is a natural consequence.

  • Are you kidding me?I thought it was more than that when I called it a ghost town.

    Imagine if in the entirety of Lemmy, in all channels of all instances, there was a total of 6 posts per hour, and none of them were in channels you wanted to subscribe to.

    Jump

  • It took a day before I got my activation email. There was no indication on the website it was gonna take that long, but I'm guessing it's early enough that it might still require manual approval.

    That said it's still very much a ghost town
