Fascinating
  • At least base your distaste on reality. The term was born on 4chan back when it had a mostly leftist penchant (around the time the OWS movement was going off). It has nothing to do with "right wing", that's just you putting political polarization on everything.

  • Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap
  • the expectation would be a better solution will surface in reference to streaming.. the same way streaming was a solution to cable.

    What would that look like though? The current streaming model was pretty easy to predict ~15 years ago with the advent of online video streaming in general, especially mainstream forms of it such as YouTube. I have a hard time imagining how any other business model for distributing video content would look like, but then again I don't have a very entrepreneurial mind.

  • Lemmy might, MIGHT have a small bias towards the left
  • That guy clearly never heard about the Pareto Principle.

    E: fuck yeah, successfully triggered all the hexbear tankies. As fun as poking a wasp nest with a long stick. If only there was an online tankie bug spray equivalent...

  • World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women's events
  • Being good at chess isn't about being "smart", a lot of top chess players will tell you as much. It is however about things like spatial awareness and pattern recognition, and some studies have demonstrated those traits to be, on average, stronger in male subjects. I'm sure evidence to the contrary exists though.

  • I miss forums
  • That's genius. I was always more of a screenshot-your-desktop-then-set-it-as-wallpaper-and-hide-taskbar-and-icons kinda guy but that one is so damn subtle it probably just leads to people thinking everything works normally except that it feels ever so slightly off, but they can't put their finger on it. I like it a lot.

  • Vildhjarta - + den spanska känslan +
  • Incredible track. Far and away my favourite band. It's incredible how they always manage to sound fresh. måsstaden under vatten is nearly 2 years old at this point and it still sounds so forward-thinking to me.

  • A YoY inflation rate of ~10% is most assuredly not natural in most of the developed world. I fully understand why it happened, but that serves no justification for the negative impact on the lives of the majority of the population.

  • Fediverse now well past 14 Million total users
  • No, I'm talking about the hypothetical algorithm that fills a page with things you might be interested in. Twitter has it (even though it's not necessarily good), even Reddit these days has some of that, it's a feature in most social media websites and sometimes quite a useful one, and Mastodon just lacks it altogether.

  • Fuck SUVs in particular.
  • You're partly right. The implementation of government regulation is a problem. Lawmakers are, for the most part, absolutely incompetent when it comes to making effective regulation.
