How is this a bruise on the industry? Many people like fruity beers, and if it’s a good way to not be wasteful, what’s the issue?
Belgium lambic beers are delicious—they arise from exposure to wild yeast and bacteria. They often have a distinctive, tart taste that is highly desirable.
I’m not sure this is a LPT. If you like the beer, drink it. So what if it didn’t come out exactly as it was planned.
Pay moderators and app developers that help make communities thrive? Hell no. Pay people to contribute content? Yes! That’s the way! Force the community with money. Yes!
This article is well written, but the intense focus on TikTok is strange. I don’t understand how TikTok can be a source of true information or a town square for that matter. The videos are incredibly short and then the next one comes. You see a lot of dumb shit and stupid memes. It’s sometimes good at making people feel like they are learning something, but when you ask those people what they learned, they can’t synthesize or explain what it was they supposedly digested. To me, TikTok seems like pure dopamine hits without any sustainability.
Twitter, with its short character count, wasn’t any good for debate or sustained learning either. It was good for being a dunk tank—a place where people try to dunk on each other. It also became an echo chamber that helped polarize people politically. I don’t really understand the appeal of Twitter.
The interviewed protesters sound a little whacky. Maybe the cars are doing surveillance with the police, but that idea seems far fetched and unrealistic. Maybe I’m wrong.
I agree with more public transportation, bikes, and so forth, but I also agree with self driving cars. I dream of a future in which all cars are driven automatically without human drivers. Humans are very fallible and we all know, in almost every city, how many shitty drivers there are. Autonomous vehicles could fix this.
I thought it worked well, but these homes aren’t “typical,” they are on the higher end. Most of them looked like million dollar+ homes, though I recognize many would be cheaper depending on the location.
I find it problematic that Reddit thinks it can just sell all the content it’s users created. I like that people are deleting everything, making the site less useful, but it is sad losing all of that knowledge. I hope it reappears in the fediverse.
Imagine if Wikipedia changed its financial model. That would be a major, major problem.
Mimestream was promising in beta. The subscription model is too much for me though.
Outlook is good. Apple mail is good. But I still like Spark the best, I think. But I dislike Spark’s terms of service and feel like they don’t respect my privacy or data.
Christian would be wise to start a Lemmy app. He would have a huge following right out the gate.
What was the point of karma? I never understood the value in having it.
Same. I’m posting more because these are real communities on a platform that isn’t run by a bunch of corporate pricks. It’s real community. Not a business.
Would love for the Apollo app developer Christian to get on board and join the Wefwef developers to make a native app.
This is wonderful to hear. I hope this helps move people away from google and their products.
