Nobody cares what Lenin had to say. You’re not just talking to the lemmygrad lot.

It’s neither, it’s a rhetorical “you”. Should’ve been clearer about that, sorry.

The thing about the paradox of tolerance is that the intolerance mentioned there is not regular bigotry. It’s quite specifically about a threat to the marketplace of ideas.

They often seem to blame capitalism for the fact we’re not in an impossible utopia.

If you want to kill everyone evil, start with yourself.

Yes, we want to say bitch. Bitch.

Fucking Winnie-the-Pooh-ass bitch.

Yeah, it was funny, but wouldn’t say it’s exactly useful here.

Somewhere that isn’t a little bitch, yeah.

Oppo A54 5G with the associated Oppo Watch.

I like mostly that it’s an decent affordable 5G phone that came with a smartwatch on my contract.

What I don’t like is its tendency to overheat when the hotspot is on. The specific one I’ve had has had problems with its charger, but I’m not sure if that’s a general thing or a misuse thing or what. My watch also has a tendency to reset and erase itself if you look at it funny.

Overall rating: 3/5 (1/5 being the Doogee I had once that had adware integrated into the OS).

Choice 2. 5 is ridiculous and more harmful to the fediverse than the worst case of EEE.

A new EU law has restrictions on gatekeepers, and using ActivityPub means they’re less likely to be deemed gatekeepers.

No, it doesn’t. The 100M is real. Musk really fucked up, Zuck took advantage of the opportunity.

Yeah, that’s my line. I’m happy with federating with Threads, but not being Threads’s bitch.

Exactly. I don’t want to join Threads, but I’m happy to federate with them.

Fuckity bye. There’s a lot of other instances that don’t federate with Threads.

It might be standard practice, but it is somewhat bad in that it destroys potential value. This does not mean that it is net negative, just that defederation is a cost.

Yeah, I’d be a lot more worried about some corporation eating Lemmy than Mastodon, because their communities would live on their site.

All social media has network effects, in which the value to a user is roughly proportional to the number of other users (probably not fully proportional at the high end, but definitely positively sloped).

Because I prefer my ideology with less authoritarianism. SWCC is borderline fascist.

Because they really like conspiracies. Meta is only the regular level of evil it was before, it’s not a new improved variety of evil.
