I can see why stocks related to Musk would fall, but shouldn’t other tech stocks do the same if they will all be held to the same laws? And why would the value of the dollar fall? Isn’t it essentially a reflection of how trustworthy the government is?
To raise this issue on github for our entertainment?
I’d like to know too. I bet most Lemmy users are here because we got sick of Reddit, which I consider part of big tech. I’ll participate in this strike as much as I can, but not because I saw this post, it’s just how I want to live my life. I think a lot of Lemmy users share similar goals, so this post may be preaching to the choir, and if it’s not, a 1 day strike on “big tech” won’t show results.
Oh that’s terrible. I wouldn’t equate it to the Holocaust though.
Did something happen with the war? What is this referencing?
I don’t understand how that many more people are using reddit every month. It has to be mostly bots.
Maybe the open source stuff would exist, after all there will always be nerds doing this stuff for the fun of the game, and some companies would be using the open source models to build customer chat bots or in-house troubleshooting agents. Things that help them move faster or more efficiently. I don’t think the audio, video, or code generating models would be far enough along to be useful at all.
OK that’s fair.
Do you have any examples of good decisions he made? From what I remember he bought Tesla well after it was making money and not much has changed except his decision to remove lidar sensors and he keeps promising new cars or features that don’t come out for 5+ years, I don’t know what decisions he made with spacex, the hyperloop was never a feasible idea, twitter seems to have gotten worse since he bought it, and I don’t knowb if the boring company is still around honestly. Plus there’s the stuff like his Doge coin rug pull, doing an actual Nazi salute because Trump was elected, and the allegations about him helping rig the election for Trump, stealing taxpayer money and data, aiding the antagonists in the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Epstein-related claims.
I won’t try to claim he’s done nothing positive, but I actually can’t think of anything.
I’m curious what lead to both of these posts
Wow. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. You have more patience than I do.
I won’t call it programming, but I could see people calling it that in another 10 years. I bet if people writing assembly code 40 years ago saw rust they would say it’s not programming either.
Thanks I’ll have to check it out!
Thanks, good info. That is one thing I think I like less about Lemmy vs Reddit. On reddit we only had to worry about certain subreddits, but here we have to worry about communities and entire instances… I’ll just have to get used to it and maybe make a new account on another instance after comparing them some more.
That would be nice, but I meant an alternative to Signal. Sorry I wasn’t very clear.
I’m sorta new here myself so I might not get all this right, but decentralized is what it sounds like; Lemmy as a whole is not hosted by one central person/company. Instead, each Lemmy server (instance?) is hosted by a different person or group, so if lemmy.world ever gets shut down you’ll still be able to use all the other servers like Lemmy.zip or Lemmy.ml.
The fediverse, short for federated universe, encompasses all software that uses the ActivityPub protocol (I think) so Lemmy is only part of the fediverse. Mastodon is also part of the fediverse, although it is more similar to Twitter rather than Reddit, and since both Lemmy and Mastodon are part of the fediverse they can view and post content to each other. I don’t understand the cross communication aspect well so if someone else knows I would be happy to hear.
Some crypto was designed to be useful, and some was designed to be an investment scam. But everyone is investing in all crypto so none of it makes sense.
Oh I looked it up and you’re right that future crimes can’t be pardoned. It doesn’t help that the media talks about preemptive pardons like they are for future crimes, when it really only means crimes that have been committed but no charges have been filed yet. https://northernkentuckylawreview.com/blog/preemptive-pardons-explained-understanding-president-bidens-family-pardons
I wonder if it’s related to all the people migrating from California after covid? Or maybe those people were super red and drawn to Texas because of it.
