Dio “reject my humanity” vibes.

Sometimes I just want a lightweight markdown viewer. Something less than an IDE, but has a bit more formatting support than a text editor.

Y’all tripping the UI is fine.

The original article is from Axios. They do point out that there’s organic opposition, but the title is definitely sensational and arguably disinformation.

Now, even if they actually are adding extra to the conversation, there’s still plenty of people unhappy about data centers. If foreign bots were adding noise to the Cornell case, does that invalidate what happened to Jane Doe?

We see the videos from town halls, we see the pictures of the water, we hear the recordings of the noise pollution. We see all the extra infrastructure that sometimes cuts through people’s property.

There are legitimate concerns that people want to be addressed.

People who study how to convince people are more trusted than people trained to talk in technical jargon about specific fields. Shocker there.

Telling someone to improve their privacy is like telling them to eat healthier. They probably know on some level that they should do better, but it’s breaking habits. Changing their…everything is a daunting task on top of everything they actually want to do.

It’s a sales pitch, so I’d say sell them on one small lift at a time (Firefox, uBlock, DuckDuckGo) and build on them as they get comfortable with privacy control. Don’t shame them, don’t look down on them, don’t be overly pushy.

On the flip side: Flock is giving people awareness of other surveillance creepware.

YOU HAVE MADE A BLOOD PACT WITH WORLD.

ML HATES YOU NOW

This is even after blocking instances, communities, keywords and some personal ublock rules.

That’s so much extra work

Big same lol

Boiling it down to 3 things:

1. Content Scale & Variety - Lemmy has a lot of content but it’s very tech/political heavy. It doesn’t have much to offer outside of that domain. Meanwhile, there’s a whole shitposting subreddit dedicated to an NFL conference – I don’t even closely follow professional American football, but it’s glorious.
2. User Experience Friction - You can’t just sign up, you need to pick a server. You’ve already lost a significant amount of people in that step.
3. User Base - There’s nice folks on here, but some really sour the experience for the rest of us by being straight up hostile if we don’t agree on every little detail.

Ideally, it should be, but this would be more likely to happen in the US.

That’s why I’m focusing on highway travel: it’s the more controlled environment. The fact that car companies are offering hands-free highway driving is evidence of that. Local roads are a much more complex problem, and that’s where a human driver is much more capable.

I truly believe self-driving for trucks on freeways would be a net society gain to get rid of this nonsense. Truckers should just pickup shipments at hubs for local delivery where their expertise delivers more value.

Makes sense. We evolved with movement in mind.
