“We are safeguarded only by our irrelevance” it’s not just Lemmy. I’m thinking about the trans movement that progressed quietly without fanfare and the moment it was no longer “irrelevant “ for the majority it started getting massive pushback. Shocking how little it took to go from irrelevant to a danger to society.
The problem is that it’s “too complicated“ by presenting choices before knowing what they mean. It’s a decision tree without knowing the outcomes.
I’m new to Lemmy and it wasn’t as easy to sign up and use as Reddit or other social networks.
First I had to choose a server. To do that I had learn the consequences of choosing a server. Once I decided .ml had a sign up process where I had to be approved.
Then I wanted to choose a community, I think it’s called, and found there were multiple communities with the same name. Once again I had to make a choose without knowing the difference.
It all reminded me of the Paradox of Choice TED talk, https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choice .
Finally I had to choose an app, as there is no official one. Now I’m in Mlem, but I don’t know if it’s better or worse than the others.
Choice is great but for easier onboarding a first stop for server and app would be great. Like browser, you’re given one when you start and if you want better, and you’re ready too look for one, you can go looking.
Yes, thanks. Those worked. Where did you get the links in that form?

I thought about getting into it, but no else I know cares about it, and investing the time to learn the drivers and teams doesn’t seem worth it.
Deliver is not the same as sales. They are also launching a new model this summer so people could just be waiting. I know it’s a great news story, Europe bands together against Musk to show dissatisfaction with American politics, but it may not be true. If someone could find Tesla reports that delivers are far lower than expected I will change my mind.
I wanted to find their predictions for production in Q1 2025 to see if they planned for less deliveries before all this Musk hit the news cycle. The closest I got as 2024 Q2 production numbers. https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-deliveries-and-date-financial-results-webcast-second-quarter-2024
Do you need a phone or do you need access to the internet?
We have an ID system here that most have on the phone, but there is a dongle alternative for those that don’t have smartphones. Everything else just needs a browser.
Of course the argument could just repeat, everything is based on Chrome almost.
Jellyfin is a nice enough interface, don’t know if you integrate Disney+
The video has multiple arguments, yes security is one, but the that stands out to me is that Microsoft is dictating the terms of agreement with national governments and hiding how tax payer money is used. Governments have just accepted to support a monopoly.
The phone in your pocket is a private choice and not done on behalf of others.
$80 million budget to $1.96 billion domestic box office in China that’s a 24x ROI.
Animators are probably on a fixed salary, so how made all the money?
I don’t understand why national offices (police, prime minister) use twitter to post news when it has consistently been the least popular social media according to the national statistics office.
