Funny enough I never used Lemmy without a private instance, so I wouldn’t know!

Oh okay gotcha. Thanks a lot for spelling it out for me (not sarcasm). I honestly just was confused about the jargon. I watched that one documentary on Thatcher, it seems like that’s exactly what her policies did and it earned lots of her high-class friends a lot of money at the expense of the citizens. It seems like I sat through the whole thing without absorbing that one word.

I feel like I have to defend myself a bit and say that it’s not that I’m not into politics, it’s just that I’m not into the flame-war, pick-a-side, bash the other party sort of politics. I vote in every election and I have a very nuanced view of most issues.

I agree with your analysis on why the free market would not be able to self-regulate in this case. It’s funny because I myself have launched a food complaint with the BC admin before, and yeah let’s just say the company never would have fixed it themselves in the free market.

I just want to say that as a non-native speaker, the word “liberal” has taken on and been used in so many forms that you can’t quite infer the meaning in a lot of cases.

I think it attracts a certain type of person to Lemmy in the first place; someone who would have probably used the original Reddit back in the day

That’s awesome! I’m glad it mostly all works for you. I was looking for an OS for a TV-gaming setup sort of thing and it might be Bazzite now. I use Lutris/Wine for most of my games instead of Steam, I find it easier to troubleshoot. Also lol @ so many games with “2” in them haha.

Good catch! The POG is always in the comments.

Hmm, I’ve never tried Bazzite. Have you tried Ubuntu/can you offer a comparison to it? I play only on Ubuntu and games compatibility is like 80% hit and 20% miss.

I checked out the full 120 list. There’s a lot of courses on basic computer use, cyber security, estate planning, and investment. There’s a Photoshop basics one. Also I think the 120 number is a bit inflated; there’s a lot of duplicates.

The Soviets tried this before; not explicitly for power but for lighting.

Less power on the side of the host computer or the mouse?

Fucking Veggietales predicted this

What do you mean? Have you never had one?

Ouch!! Teeth problems are the worst. I’m surprised they didn’t go the other way around and give dental care to the youngest first, after all, they have the most to live left

I’m not into politics at all, but wouldn’t the word “neoliberal” be most likely misused by those on the right?

Creativity flows when people are bored

The closest thing I can think of the archive @ Wayback machine. It’s more of a manual way of seeing snapshots rather than diffs.

The article is light on details about the exact allegation. I’d be very interested to hear exactly Facebook planned to store and use the data, what kind of data it was anyways, and how it could have improved their bottom line. If we can find how they are using this to make more money then maybe it’s possible to cut off the opportunity at the source.

Idea: install this on some old laptop/tablet or something. Open Doom. Enjoy a retro wallpaper as Doom plays itself.

In addition to what everyone else has said in the comments, I find that the posts on Lemmy are far more creative. It’s akin to browsing people’s blogs vs Medium articles.

Hmm gotcha. Yeah this stuff goes over my head haha but it sounds similar to a Bitcoin mixer/tumbler. I wonder if the anonymity scales with the number of users using the network. I also wonder if you happened to send a transaction at a “bad” time (no-one else is using the network) then it’s easier to trace.

Do you know how Monero’s advantage could potentially be lost?
