This is a commonly held belief and one that I had for most of my life. I don’t know what finally did it for me, but the book Trekonomics definitely gave me a push.

Great I really wanted that.

I wonder how this will affect the right to be forgotten. It’s not like theyre going to un-train any models or remove any derivative content

Can’t say personally, but for many it’s the first time they’re even looking at what other engines have to offer.

I know a few nurses in the neighbourhood and this is basically their survival strategy.

Fedi seems to be really great for accessibility from what I’ve seen. At least I’ve never never interacted with so many visually impaired people before joining mastodon. So I’d say that culture is working.

I believe there’s a nice way to go about (honey v vinegar, etc), but generally yeah, it feels really good to be in a virtual space that is so welcoming.

I can’t really think of a case where a post’s image isn’t relevant to the associated discussion. Even if it’s just a nonsense post with an unrelated image, knowing what the irrelevant image is about would help make sense of the discussion.

I think this and the stuff happening at Twitter are a nice kickstart to get lemmy and other ferdiverse stuff going.

Long live the ferdervers!

But seriously, I’m with you in sentiment. I’m never going back to the centralised/for-profit soc med services.

All their value comes from the free interactions between people chatting, and they think they deserve to get rich for renting the hall. Fuck that, we can just rent the infrastructure ourselves if that’s what it takes to talk in peace.

Welcome!

Usually play some Doom 1 or 2, a level or an episode, or Minecraft if I have more time, but I’m in a boring replay/comfort phase because work is kicking my ass atm

I’d guess like 0.2 a year for me, since it’s been a few years, and I don’t see myself ever eating another unless it’s offered to me.

I do like cookies though
