Does this mean we need to be hosting an email server too? I should just go look at the docs lol, this news might push me over the edge.

Banned from comms I haven't posted to in months because I said "Dragonfucker isn't a gender" on another instance in c/[email protected]

Lol it's fine, just if you were trying to convince someone you'd have a hard time winning them over with such an extreme example.

I can see your heart is in the right place haha

Lol you're not wrong, I wasn't really talking from the point of view of the socio!/psychopaths at the top, just the general economics that made it possible in a way that didn't result in strikes and such therefore disrupting their income.

Thinking back to like the Gilded age with strikes taking place and the military coming in to put it down lol.

The billionaires don't give a shit about the living conditions of us peasants, however they benefit from a social safety net existing as they can get away with underpaying workers for longer without fear of rebellion, whether they realize it or not.

Clearly this guy was asking about Kissinger in c/[email protected]

Lol so basically most of congress and the presidency in the US xD

Interesting tho, hadn't heard that before, thank you for the explanation!

Talking about the relationship of moving manufacturing to China due to the lower costs associated with it, one aspect is because the workers don't need to be paid as much to still be able to live better then the poorest in the US.

Is that not relevant in your opinion? It's just what came to mind when I was reading the thread on my break 🤷‍♂️

Mayflys tho, that was something I hadn't even conceived of lol

dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? in c/[email protected]

[–] Jakeroxs 2 points 2 days ago

It sucks that niche things like that haven't picked up yet, however be the change you want to see, create a community and invite like minded people to post there.

I think the biggest barrier of entry is that people don't understand it, and they're not going to until they try in all honesty.

Read through some of your posts and thought it was an interesting idea.

I'm not much of a programmer myself, played around a bit in Java when I was younger for Runescape Private Servers but never really able to get into coding fully. I have done some light photoshopping/GIMP and used to play around with video editing software. I like to think I'm pretty technology inclined as I'm the "pc repair" person for my family/friends.

I like linux but mostly run Windows because gaming and ease of use. Though where I work I'm the "Linux guy" (not saying much tbh as a lot of people know literally nothing about linux).

I play around with music production in FL Studio and Ableton, not great at it but I have some stuff online with a thousand listens or so https://blend.io/zvyyr

Politically I'm very left (for the US at least), I like communism in theory and have read a good bit about it (not as much as others who are very into it though). Supported Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020.

I'm intelligent enough to know that I know very little about a lot.

I'm sure you could find more about me online, I've never been especially private but moved away from standard social media a while ago.

OK question, why is it called "she hacked you?"

Emojis and Lemmy (self.asklemmy)

Does anyone else think having emojis as a response to a comment/thread would be a neat addition instead of only upvote/downvote?

Reddit seemed to sorta do that with awards but thats not quite what I'm suggesting.

Something similar to GitHub for instance, except we keep the upvote downvote system as-is.

This would hopefully discourage the use of upvote/downvote as a "I like/dislike this" button while also adding the ability to more accurately express the emotion the post/comment illicited

Additionally, there are a lot of people who are mostly just lurkers and have no desire to post, but they want to be able to emote further then just a upvote/downvote but DON'T want to actually post a comment like "I love this" or "You're so right" or even just commenting an emoji, because making a comment is a whole extra action that makes them visible, opens up to comments or upvotes/downvotes.
