Why are 3rd party apps still working?
  • Reddit fumbing their own policies and implementations? Never happened before.

  • Climate nears point of no return as land, sea temperatures break records, experts say
  • Nobody wants to listen.

    When it happens it's basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it's fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.

    We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It's coming and coming quickly. We're not ready. Billions will die.

    "The planet will be fine, it's us humans that are fucked." /Slightly paraphrased George Carlin.

  • Are there any good jobs out there where you can show up, do your work, and then just leave when it's done?
  • You'd be surprised how many jobs just requires you to sit in a chair all day looking busy.

    I do my dayjob, in an office with the screen not visible to anyone else, and when there is no work to do I go ahead and do some of my independent work. I look busy as heck all 8 workhours. I get no extra reqests to "help out", or last minute critical whatever.
    I make 2.5-3x my job salary.

  • Freight train carrying hot asphalt, molten sulfur plunges into the Yellowstone River as bridge fails
  • It would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
    The richest country on earth can't even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
    That same country suffers from economic troubles.
    Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
    What's standing in their way?

  • What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows?
  • As a new community we need to identify and stamp out bad actors immediately and thoroughly (spammers, selfservers, ads disguised as posts, brigading, illegal content, racism, you get the idea).
    We can't control if they create their own instances, but we can isolate them.

    I know some things.
