Thing about rock bottom is you think you’ve hit it but then you find that you have a magical pickaxe that can dig past rock bottom

Can confirm. Would probably be maining windows if the workspaces actually… functioned…

This is something that I feel like Brave New World got a lot more right. In that book, people’s pleasures are their prisons.

I don’t really have a direct reply to these ideas but I would like to point out an interesting example of a business model that addresses some of these concerns, that is the worker cooperative, where the workers have some portion of ownership of the company, either in revenue sharing or decision making.

Bro this is useless gatekeeping.

Yes

The way it works is that there’s not one lemmy site, there’s many different sites, or “instances” that people can host on their own servers—lemmy.world and lemm.ee are two of these. The catch is that they are “federated”, meaning that a user in one instance can see, vote on, comment on, etc posts from another instance. That’s why you can be on lemmy.world and see posts from !memes@lemme.ml. So if lemmy.world goes down it’s as simply as typing in another instance to your address bar :^)

I feel like this is well described lmao

Thank you for the insight, and please do

… aaand it started working for no reason again. I guess it just measures whether you want it bad enough.

Wow thank you so much for the insights and advice. This is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to find but didn’t have the knowledge to know what to search. I’ll look into these!

I’ve called them a few times but it’s been hard since their hours aren’t very long and I have a busy job. But to be honest I wasn’t banking on support since I haven’t ever had good tech support experience. Hearing that you’ve had a good experience, though, I think I’ll get in touch with them, thanks.

Fursuits

…cosplayers

lol I don’t think most furries want to be talking animals any more than rpg players or cosplayers want to be fantasy characters. I’m sure some do but definitely not all

Yeah, jokes aside, I agree with that. I think it’s funny how people are as quick to label anyone supportive of anthro anything as a furry as they are to hate on actual furries themselves.

Anyone interested in this topic should check out the book “Nutmeg’s Curse”

Denial is so sad to see
