Thank you for taking the time to write such a down-to-earth and insightful comment! I totally agree with each of your points. Same reason I would never shop at Walmart/Sam’s Club, get takeout from Chic fil a, drive a Tesla, sleep on a MyPillow, etc.

Yeah my next phone will probably be a pixel specifically so I can load it with GrapheneOS.
This is true, but it’s also pretty much the only “shortcoming” of the OS
Same! Lemmy reminds me a lot of Reddit when I originally joined in June of 2011
And I’m finding myself actually posting comments instead of drafting and deleting them like I did on Reddit for the last 6-7 years. The comment threads really deteriorated on Reddit over the last decade
Agreed. I personally struggle with the word “intentionally,” however. Meta was aware of the negative side effects of their content algorithms far before the recent Myanmar violence and did nothing to remedy it. There were internal reports about teen suicide and eating disorders several years prior that they tried to hush up, and of course the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal which revealed the extent to which Facebook was supplying third parties with user info that was directly responsible for increased partisanship in the 2016 & 2020 election cycles, and probably (imo) they share some blame for recent hate crimes in the US accordingly. And now we know they definitively hold blame for increased violence in Myanmar. If they knew the effect their platform had and did nothing about it, that to me seems intentional. Just my 2¢
To maintain the analogy - what if the radio equipment were somehow designed to provide stronger, more far-reaching frequencies if the DJs were broadcasting hate speech and military commands, but shorter, weaker frequencies when DJs discussed crimes against humanity? Facebook isn’t a truly open platform, it’s algorithms dictate what users see and what goes viral.
Ellen Pao, yup. F her and f spez
I’ve always been partial to the Gordon Ramsay turn of phrase “You fucking donkey.” A little less serious. :)
Thnx for the reply. I will watch my wording moving forward. I am a bit surprised as I am a leftie myself and didn’t consider referring to my fellow lefties as “the Left” was inflammatory. But no worries, thnx again!
Right, so it’d be better to instead say RBJ was an incredibly stubborn and shortsighted nincompoop whose bad decision-making doomed an entire generation and undid her personal legacy in the blink of an eye
Can a mod plz review why my most recent comment on this community was removed? I thought it was a respectful and cogent comment. I want to abide by the community guidelines and avoid future comment removals. Thanks and sorry for whatever triggered the most recent removal!
I hope so too but my comment was removed by a mod so idk…?
Awesome ty 4 the help. Will hopefully finish getting this set up this weekend! Cheers
Any suggestions for a first time arch user installing it on a second SSD in my existing system with Windows 10? Do I need a boot efi partition first when setting up partitions? I plan disabling secure boot so I can use reFind for my boot manager
I think something like Voyager would be much better.
Cloudflare DDos protection isn’t a silver bullet; the attacks are distributed and come from shifting source IPs, and are sophisticated in that they exploit resource intensive queries specifically designed to overload a Lemmy instance. If lemmy.world were to pivot to some other instance, who’s to say the culprits wouldn’t just resume their efforts pointed at the new location? There are theories these may be carried out by the recently-defederated fringe hate communities
