Science x Capitalism

Y’all better calibrate your AI radars quick if this one is fooling you lol

Ya I wouldn’t apply to any role at this company if I saw that, that’s a major red flag that their VC money has either run out or is about to lol

I’m glad this community is following in the tradition of the reddit one, ugly graphics that communicate nothing useful yet somehow get upvoted to the top

Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat

To cut out the BS legal double speak, it’s so you can have a steam-like interface that’s designed to be natively compatible with pirated games and allow friends to access them from your server

It isn’t AI, it’s the economy. Companies that got money from investors regardless of their profitability now have to survive on their own profits which forces them to restructure

If you plan on using the local or all filters the people you share a server with will determine what new communities populate there and likely have a big impact on what you’ll come across

Ya I’m confused why people think this is a good thing, the use cases where someone would edit a title in good faith seem very limited to people trying to take advantage of the feature

What are the privacy advantages of self hosting lemmy? as in what kind of data are we otherwise sharing when we use someone else’s instance?

Yes there’s something particularly sketchy about an app that makes those kind of anti-user corporate decisions when it owes its popularity to the piracy community

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?

I respect the enterprise-level IT operation you run for your family lol

Time to start burning the lemmy UI into your phone screen to cover up the reddit scars

The key is amassing a large enough audience of people who want something new, not just people who want a 1:1 replacement for reddit. There’s no way lemmy will be able to compete in content volume but I think the idea of “non corporate” social media will be attractive to people
