Spanning Tree?

I hear networking one of those is difficult.

Gale of Darkness to replace Colosseum and I am sold. Give me a TV stand and a chair with a back and this is golden.

Now ask if it is an instrument.

Actually me. I do this all the time and it drives my friends, family, and girlfriend nuts.

I think my brain processes what is said after it is finished processing what I am currently thinking about and what I am really doing is multitasking in thoughts before rounding my way to the next one.

Fuck the rest that pillow is the only way to go. Dreaming means I hit REM every night which means I am better at most of the other times almost automatically

Just the tip?

I am rocking the Pixel 8 Pro but man this would almost have me wanting to test drive a Nothing device. I was close to pulling the trigger on a Zenphone 10 this year. MKBHD sold me on that device.

Elitism: the advocacy or existence of an elite as a dominating element in a system or society.

What you just described is exactly how elitism works. I understand the hate for Facebook and all of Meta’s products. However, this is exactly how gate keeping starts. I don’t want to see the fediverse go anywhere more than the next person but it becomes contradicting and hypocritical to the entire establishment of the fediverse if Lemmy or other federated apps begin to decide who can and can’t be federated. That is the whole image right? To prevent gate keeping and to establish that not one person owns any one portion of Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. However, what happens when an entity on Lemmy does start deciding to defederate a Conglomerate starts making decisions just like Facebook? The does Lemmy not start fitting the bill of not being able to tolerate the intolerance as well? To me that becomes elitism the very thing Lemmy users swear is a perfect system.

I don’t believe Meta is good for anyone or anything but Lemmy users need to understand that you can’t say, “we are different.” And then justifying the very contradiction of being exactly the same by just saying, “Facebook takes freedom.” I don’t like Facebook infact fuck them but either Lemmy users admit they need to play the game like Facebook and that someone controls who is a part of content and who isn’t or they don’t. Just stop trying to find ways that this would be “different” just fucking say, “we want to control the content that is on the platform and who can be a part of it.” Because now you are playing the Meta game on their own terf. Just tired of Lemmy users thinking they are special.

proprioceptive input

You should read about it. It’s quite interesting but it doesn’t make this any less dangerous but it does make scenarios like this more interesting because the human brain and body are incredible. Not everyone has the best proprioceptive input.

Let’s just gas light Obama for the fact Trump is actually a fucking sensitive little bitch that can’t handle being poked with a joke.

Lemmy users: “they should be best down. That would solve our problems.”

We should probably be pointing fingers at the legal system in the U.S. for taking no kind of legal action or executive actions to change laws. Facebook and Google can get away with what the laws don’t prohibit. Europe is a good example these days that tech giants don’t make the rules and enough pressure and changes can force their hands because in the end they want to exist to make money.

“it doesn’t say giant tech platforms have the right to make money off of it.”

I am not defending what meta is doing but there is literally more evidence to suggest big tech can do what they want because there are no laws that say they can’t make money off of it. You can be upset all you want but blame the system for not putting restrictions in place for platforms getting away with doing these things. Bitching about Google and Facebook being evil doesn’t do anything. Unless something legally and lawfully changes nothing is going to change.

I used to have a buddy that said, “tell me the difference between an anarchist and a libertarian.” When I would ask what or someone would as a what. He would say, “Libertarians are just anarchists in denial.”

Despite what you think the values are not entirely far off and both are kind of silly one believes in the government not interfering with your business until that government isn’t supporting what they want it to support.

The other says, “I don’t want the government interfering with my business or anything at all until someone wants to run the portion the government can’t to support what the government wasn’t supporting for them.”

I hate to tell you friend. You aren’t conservative and that is okay. The other side is really not all that bad.

So welcome.

The cons should just blame this on Taylor Swift as well.

I don’t really check Lemmy that often. Hence why my usage has dropped off. I also have become less and less involved with social media over all, but I apologize where apologies are due if I happen to stumble upon something I said.

I regularly check history when I am on to see what was said. My Lemmy history isn’t great. I haven’t had an easy time getting integrated into Lemmy as I think it is just like Reddit.

Your comment, I read in a different context. It wasn’t until I went back and looked at my history of the comment you were looking at that I grasped what you were actually trying to do. I read it in the opposite light. I essentially thought you were saying, "well I found a post where they weren’t talking about Linux and big corpo but I got it backwards.

I owed you an apology regardless of time.

Who is hexbear? Now I am curious.

Honestly, I apologize. I didn’t read your comment like that at all and I genuinely apologize.

Man, Lemmy users also take things far more literal.

My activity dropped because I can’t enter a single thread that isn’t about, big corpo, Linux, and how I shouldn’t spend money.
