Because here it’s not normal to leave food at work.

That’s why I can be so chill at it.

I legitimately though Oregon was a State, I didn’t know it was also a city.

From my country I’m going to be generous and say Barcelona. Second biggest city here. I doubt next bigger cities are universally known.

That’s a lot of words for just saying “I love being a racist”.

You hate somebody because of their skin color equals being racist, simple as that.

Probably some filter would be needed. Like a list of curated instances.

Imagine if the geographically closest is the Furry instance.

It is. Both lemmy and Mastodon.

I cannot use Reddit or Twitter anymore.

It depends on your goals, and what cultures are you interested in.

I’m also fluent in Spanish and English (native Spanish though), and my third language of choice has always been between Chinese or Japanese. I like east asian culture, technology and many of their cultural exports. So it was an easy choice for me (easy the choice, languages… not so easy).

I work in a public administration. And 90% of our work is done on webapps anyway. There will be no difference if the os is windows or linux.

Same in Spain.

Everything is digitalized and you have the right to do everything digitally. I’ve never mailed anything to the government.

You don’t upload pictures because you don’t want to be tracked.

I don’t upload pictures because no one wants to track me.

We are different.

Open source means open source, I never assume anything else from open source projects.

I certainly doubt it. They would probably just be protecting themselves and their own kind.

If a humpback whale have experiences of killing whales attacking them or their offspring probably thought it was a good idea to do as possible to interfere with them. Probably would carry a genocide on orcas giving the chance.

I don’t think it is out of mercy. Mercy is something that is learning growing in a better environment that any animal growing in the brutal natural world.

I think is actually kind of nice.

I mean of all species living on earth, human is the only species that would consider genocide a bad thing. Some random plant on prehistoric ages would just produce oxygen an cause a mass extinction without sweating it.

And for most human history Humans would actually try to genocide others.

At least now there is people who is anti-genocide. And it’s probably a growing stance.

Saddest typo ever.

I just won’t tell this to my psychologist, just in case.

Many sites don’t work like that and don’t even load the content from the server before the paywall check.

But I have a trick that work 100% of the time. Just don’t read those sites.

I get that journalism and entertainment magazines have workers and need to be paid BUT:

They were getting paid when I could pay a cheap physical newspaper if I want to read it and usually had those for free anyway. As you’ll get newspapers on most public places and one single newspaper would serve a whole family. In my house we didn’t really paid more than 4€ a month and got physical things that you could just keep. Now with digital distribution you own nothing and it is far more expensive. So… No. Also they get a ton of public money through institutional advertisement, so I’m already basically paying for them without getting access to their content.

So unless they are willing to change their model I’ll just refuse to read them. I’m happier without their clickbaits anyway.

I like the meme.

I just wish they would merge the “truly infinite worlds” branch. The horizontal limits are to tight for this kind of game.

Up to early 00’ most webs didn’t really have many ads. Some may have abusive advertisement but it wasn’t everywhere like now.

The real fun is doing software emulation running inside your mental calculations.

But can YOU run doom?

Colonize is not the same as terraform.

Mars could be colonized without terraforming it. Closed habitats could be permanent thus providing a way of colonization.

Terraforming is a trouble without magnetosphere that’s true. But not impossible. As there are tech concepts on how it could be possible to shield mars atmosphere. And doesn’t seem imposible, just expensive and complex.

I don’t see the lemmy model failing. So, as others, I think is more of a solution in search for a problem.

In general I don’t see any reason to leave Lemmy right now.

Also I don’t think things will keep simple with that model. I see a lot of underlying complexities that the current formula does not have.

Maybe it would be a better to try that model on a fediverse area with less success than lemmy.

Peertube is really struggling for instance. Not really on the developer side of things but on the content creators. Maybe a coop of content creators for peertube could me something that is needed on the fediverse.
