i think the reason we do not have ubi universally is it would remove one of the biggest leverages companies have. If you dont have to worry about becoming homeless and starving to death, you can’t be coerced into accepting any work for shitty pay. And people who dont have so many worries might start thinking about things beyond immidiate survival and how to distract themselves from it.
its time for ubi for many reasons, and this is one of them indeed
even on features that might be useful i’m extremely suspicious why they must be shoved down my throat.
Imagine someone baking the best cake in the world and then trys to go around force feeding it to people so they too can experience the bliss that is WORLDS BEST CAKE.
billionaires are not like us, just like psychopaths are not like us. I wonder if they even have souls if souls exist… probably exchanged it for money.
so turn air into gasoline, burn the gasoline and replace the air with crap that is the burning product. So this is kind of a terraforming device that will make the planet inhabitable for us even faster if used widely and large scale enough.
i like openstreetmap a lot. There is also this another application called street complete, with which you can help make it better. Its kind of like a game, there are question bubbles on the map and you answer stuff like what kind of roof some building has or what is the condition of the pavement on some area. Its really nice since its so easy to do and you know you are helping when you use it.
And if you REALLY want to help, openstreetmap has very good tools for adding information, though you need to use the website for it since it can get quite complex which makes it a bit more cumbersome.
And in google maps, you just get denied when you try correcting something that is grossly wrong, or have to wait unspecified time to even know if your correction is good enough for whoever is deciding stuff there.
should also make it a gif
i already had made another account there. Now i deleted it. The ui was already kind of dumb there, this was the last straw. Or last haybale rather.
Trying to do something about bots is okay. “attitude” is iffy but still kind of understandable, though already a step in worrying direction. But surely its implemented in transparent and fair way… right? Actively lying to users so they cant use images that MIGHT have content coder doesnt like? What else are they lying about? What else WILL they lie about? And that it reduces your reputation while not even informing you about it?
It doesnt matter if your ideals are noble and intentions good, if you dont act with integrity you are no better than the ones who are making world shitty place.
i have watched some videos where its used on skyrim npcs, it seems to work surprisingly well.
i wonder when perceived immigrants are forced to wear somekind of mark on them, maybe a star.
It just makes it more annoying to search for anything lemmy related
Someone in here already said it, but ‘Lemmy’ is a horrendous name. That alone was the reason why I didn’t bother to try it at all for a long time. Only recent events pushed me towards it but tbh I’m not sure I’ll stay.
You can say that again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy
Really muddles up the search results about lemmy.
what is history hyenas?
sayings like “make no mistake”

i watch it for the commentary. Its also kind of like pseudoshared experience. There are also bunch of games that are not necessarily bad but which i dont want to buy, so watching someone else play it is nice way to experience the game and also see if it would be worth getting afterall.
well, its not directly a question. more of an invitation for discussion about the topic since i wanted to hear what everyone here thinks about it.
The thing i’m worried is the embrace & extinguish strategy the corporations like microsoft use. So far there has been little reason for them to care, since linux has been so marginal operating system, but I think there is good chance linux might become really popular. Win11 is such a mess and combined with really expensive ram, it might not even be useable for many, so only other option is to either use apple or linux
ah, then hopefully it wont get any worse
majority of the applications i use are installed via f-droid. I couldnt even use my phone if i lost them. For example the default camera is piece of shit that just turns the pictures black and doesnt even have good options, while the open camera has everything one could hope for.
