Too much centralization of the Lemmy network happened. A big default choice instance, some others that are medium sized, and several hundreds of tiny instances nobody cares about.

It does make more sense to have a community for an interest too, rather than an entire instance devoted to one area.

I guess it works for porn instances but haven’t seen it work for any others. Porn is good for having alt accounts.

Where are the good guys in non-religious (scientific) leaders?

They are all scheming to gain more power and control.

Humans are just not emotionally ready to recognize where all this leads.

I’m happy with the current state actually. Too much people using Linux and it’s going to become a target for ads and tracking. Currently we are flying under the radar, and it’s amazing. We are in the sweet spot of having enough quality software without the downsides.

Those websites will simply register alternate domains… It’s really not a big deal.

I hope they aren’t. Diversity is the opposite of chemistry. It may be great for companies but it’s quite bad for finding similar-minded people you can connect with.

Tall women are attractive. So feel better. :)

We have excellent online stores like Zalando that have changed my life. I order, clothes are usually delivered the next day, and returning is as easy as putting it back into the same box and driving to the postal office again. Money back within a few days.

They have perfected the clothes shopping experience for men. No more going to awkward physical shops.

My size is known by the shop, and I can order lots of variations of the same clothes, different sizes, just to find the perfect one that really fits me.

I’m not watching the trailer. Want to be completely surprised. It’s the best experience.

And it can’t be better than season 1 anyway.

Not my sense of humor, but… Yeah. Good job.

It’s interesting that you sound so angry. Is it because of gender issues in your life, it made you bitter?

Sure but there are two major biological sexes. I can understand how gender can be defined as something else though.

Non-binary can decide what gender they feel like.

I don’t understand this. We have two genders, how is it not binary and how is it made up? Honest question.

That would be a proper movie. :)

Bad guys always win outside of movies I guess.

I hear the next Jack Ryan movie is going to take place in a Amazon fulfillment center where the bad guy encourages workers to join a union. But Jack Ryan saves the day by spreading American values of independence and hard work to become as successful as Jack Bezoz.

It’s an actual court doing this… Lol.

I don’t think the definition of a good guy has changed recently…

It’s actually annoying. In aws world, only aws solutions are even mentioned. I notified only after certification that there are many valid use cases for not using Ami’s for example. Aws pretty much recommends making a new ami for every little change you make on servers, and if you have a fleet of hundreds of servers and want to change a small config on them, that means building and replacing hundreds of Ami’s.

Compare that to ansible that can quickly and in parallell make the change everywhere in seconds.

The immutable infrastructure thing sounds really good in theory but has flaws in practice. The benefits are there but at a big time/money/complexity cost.

Yeah manufacturers also list brightness as the highest possible brightness for a single pixel, not the real value of the screen.

As usual, you have to take manufacturers data with a bathtub of salt.

You don’t get asked for them - companies pick someone with the cert before you and you will never know. :)
