He worked as a chemical engineer until he was killed by police over non-existant drugs. None of the officers involved got into any trouble.

I made this exact same argument using XMPP as an example and got downvoted because “XMPP is still alive”

Thanks! I just learned something new!

Sfc and DISM have each worked exactly once for me.

I thought they were pushing a “right to repair” bill /s

People don’t care what’s superior, they care about if their friends are already on the app. And whatsapp built up that critical mass first, so it’s the default.

I respect air compressors after watching No country for old men

There are some newer cars that don’t. They sometimes don’t even have a spare!

I understand. I hear it’s an issue on Kbin and it might be fixed on the newest versions of lemmy. But that’s just how “All” is, you’ll see everything whether you like it or not.

At the very least you can blur NSFW images in the settings

This doesn’t seem to happen on lemmy. And even if it did, my “All” filter is all memes.

Why not subscribe to the stuff you want to see and then only filter by subscribed? I honestly find it strange that people don’t do this by default.

Yeah it’s been a while since I watched that series.

Ah I only remember the weed episode

IIRC they weren’t smoking, they were “eating sandwiches”

Imagine if Facebook offered RSS feeds. That’d be nice right? It wouldn’t ruin anyone’s experience if they started supporting an open standard like that.

Remember XMPP? How Google embraced that open protocol? Remember they extended it and practically turned it into their own standard? Remember how it was extinguished after they decided they could just make their own standard?

That’s what people are afraid will happen with the metaverse. Facebook isn’t interested in making ActivityPub better. Their only goal is to turn it into a money stream without regard to whether it survives or not. The only way to slow that down is to not play woth them.

Agreed. Meta’s (or any other corporate entity) strategy will most likely involve paying off mods or admins for their influence, allowing undercover ads, bots, etc

Potato potato

This is why I joined lemmy.
