If we put aside humans for a moment, some species of animal have more than binary sexes. Some species of mushroom have thousands, for example.

Especially by popularly vote. “People don’t like you, so you’re exiled from your home country” sets a bad precedent.

Or rabies. Australians might have to watch out for their own brand thereof, but they don’t have rabies to contend with.

Storage. There aren’t enough hard drives, so datacentres are also buying up SSDs, since it’s needed to store training data.

It’s also quite expensive. YouTube only broke even for over a decade after Google got their hands on it, and Google can afford to host the servers, and manage distribution themselves.

A new player would find it much harder in today’s landscape. When YouTube was made, it had the advantage that of not having that many viable competitors. That’s no longer the case today.

If enough of it is still around. A lot of the old spaces that used to exist aren’t around any more.

Plus things like YouTube and Discord aren’t banned, do chances are, they would end up there instead.

Github may be, strangely enough.

This one is damn near impossible to enforce for the sole reason of the word “deliberate”, the issue is that I would not support such a law without that part.

It would also be easily abused, especially since someone would have to take a look and check, which would already put a bottleneck in the system, and the social media site would have to take it down to check, just in case, which gives someone a way to effectively remove posts.

It is zero. You split atoms all the time, thanks to the radioactive carbon-14 in our bodies, from nuclear testing.

A nuclear bomb goes off because a lot of atoms split all at once, which causes a whole lot more atoms to then split. But that requires a critical mass. It doesn’t just happen on its own.

The personal project is a matter of personal pride, whereas for work, any old thing will do, as long as it meets the requirements.

Del is files, Rmdir is directories.

Running del on folders just leaves an empty tree.

Thing go up instead of down.

It’s Google’s version of an IDE with AI integrated, where you type a bit of code, and get Bard to fill stuff in.

Although it really only happened recently. If you look at older generated images, they don’t have the yellow colouration.

I don’t think he is one, not really.

I think he wants to be one, but isn’t one himself, which is perhaps sadder.

Not true. Sometimes, there are the horrors.

It’s a bit more of an issue in its earlier days compared to now, but it also needs to stop copying Reddit. People aren’t going to go to Lemmy if its communities are just copies of Reddit posts.

At the same time, there’s an argument that it shouldn’t be trying to compare itself with Reddit anyway. It should try to be its own thing.

As a whole, Lemmy isn’t really big enough to branch out into individual game communities just yet. They just end up petering out.

“The customer is always right” might get misused a lot, but it is correct in this instance.

If a lot of your customers don’t like something, it’s not something wrong with the customers.

It is literally taking the Lord’s name in vanity.

There’s also an argument that if you’ve the technical know-how to dink around the Windows registry and make all kinds of tweaks, you’ve the know-how to install Linux, or at least, the ability to figure out how to manage it.

I don’t think that people do that very much any more, since the medium has changed.

People don’t really do things like make blog posts as much as they used to.
