It was not sold. It was taken/stolen

The internet itself was once a niche alternative to mainstream knowledge

The way I see it is, that we are all good or even experts at something. The internet is not only about programming alone. The frustration comes from people who 30 years ago spent time discussing and sharing all kinds of knowledge on websites, forums or wikis but now, large corporations charge money to present the same knowledge more conveniently, but not always in the right context

This includes programming, but also gardening, how to ferment cabbage, how to clean a smoking pipe, what to feed guinea pigs.

It is definitely doable, but will take many decades

It looks like it originally was posted in an AI community

News in Denmark

I just hope they included a paragraph 5 involvement ad a condition

That said, am agreement with Trump is not really a binding agreement, the way it looks at the moment

In Danish news, the agreement is about Trump agreeing not to have Greenland

In Denmark the news are

“Trump agrees not to have Greenland” and in exchange gets what he’s been offered from the start and more or less already had access to

It has…

“crashing” yeah…

Currently our dog thinks Mark looks and smells like a snack and also sounds like a chew toy 🤦

He is also a sighthound so I think he’d be triggered if we let mark run on the floor.

On too of that we know that we have some allergies to cats in the house so outlook is not great.

That said, were only helping out - no plans to get s car any time soon. But he really really is cute!😍

We’d consider if it wasn’t for our dog. But we’ll see how it goes 😂

It isn’t really “talks” when the alternative is to be destroyed as a civilization. That’s bullying and extortion

I’d hope NATO actually makes a clear distinction between aggressors and defenders in a war. Trump has already twisted ‘national threat’ to justify whatever he wants, and while his own country seems fine with it, I can’t imagine international allies just going along with that kind of logic

Alternatives are great if only people were using them.

It’s a sliding slope though. The initial reasoning is fair. But it will eventually spread to other features like (potentially) creating and owning servers or holding administrative and moderation roles

It’s the same with the chat control currently looking over EU. Nobody can say that they are against efforts to stop CSAM. The issue is that the efforts don’t limit themselves to fighting that. Likewise the age verification on Discord does not seem to be targeted or limited to certain content. They are leaving the door open to use it any way they want

We didn’t mean it like that…

Yeah the involvement of US politicians, billionaires and celebrities in the Epstein afair, clearly shows that it is a career killer to be mentioned in them 🤦

The real problem is, that the majority of users won’t change, and it’s the users that make Discord. There could be a much better alternative but if users are too lazy to change, it is worth nothing.

This is the case with Facebook messenger too. There are great alternatives, but it’s messenger that has the userbase

Will never happen before they change the definition of what medically obese is.

I agree that it is good with transparency, but then this should also be freely available on the Lemmy platform, and even the clients, in the same way as modlogs list what is going on.

I knew that admins could somehow go into the database and check who has done what, but I assumed that this was only the admin, and maybe even that the info was encrypted. It’s alright with me that it’s not, but then why not display it on each post and comment, with a list of interactions to it.

In this case, it’s this post:

Although, the comment where people were being called out, may have been removed (not sure if it’s because I have blocked the user, or they have blocked me)

It’s also petty… But knowing that this is so easy to identify people behind vote activity fundamentally changes how I feel about Lemmy
