Linux is commonly used for almost everything that is not a home computer.

This is probably the best summary for how tech business works

First time I heard that something like this even exists. If toilet is disgusting I’d rather not use it or clean it myself

I somehow cant see the pictures? Is this a kbin app bug?

I mean you can totally not try to end P2P encryption or allow espionage against journalists by gov agencies. There is nothing power hunger driving them to do so

I have some tiny bit of doubts left but at least it does sound like one possible reason for people swarming servers with bots

I have went through a similiar phase a few years ago after starting university and moving to a different city. A few years later I had the opportunity to get me some nice computer for very little money which brought me back into gaming but I honestly dont remember which game I played first.

What is something someone can gain by swarming an instance or forums like yours with bots? I cant wrap my head around it. Also if someone has an instance and swarms it with bot accounts, it may seem like you got a popular instance but where is the revenue if there are noone who is able to click an ad? Do they do it just for the lols?

Its so fascinating how our EU can switch between fucking good decisions and fucking terrible decisions all the time. I hope this will be avoided by the parliament

No they do not have to install them by themselves but goverment intelligence agencies or police may use them against journalists.

I wonder how people come up with the bot superstition? Just a feeling or is there any valid indication of massive influx of bot accounts?

As I am totally new to this whole thing, could you elaborate for me on those reservations about the lemmy developers? And are those the same that created lemmy.world?

New to this whole thing myself, but on mobile there is an Icon in the top bar that allows you to switch between different views like local, all and subscribed. Maybe you need to switch the view?

This sounds so fucked up man. Reddit is really killing itself

Without defending the reddit admins as they seem to go bonkers atm but I am genuinely interested if there is any possibility to verify for us any claims made?
