Are you kidding? Cyberpunks get to fuck over a corp, this is absolutely a win for the user base!
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Huh, I always assumed it was referring to dogs eating cat shit.
Do they have a choice? By hosting an instance, they open themselves up to liability if someone posts child porn. What else could they do?
Gimme Newspeak already. The world isn’t cyberpunk enough yet.
Yahoo answers held on for decades after it was relevant, I’m sure Reddit will be around in 15 years.
Sadly, Remindbot will be reminding a ghost town populated only by other bots
There’s a theory that, at one time, “man” was a gender neutral term for persons and we called males “weremen” and obviously women “women”
That probably isn’t true, but it’s fun to think about a world where that was reversed.
EDIT Also evidently there was wifmann and wapman, which is an even funnier world to imagine.
As a hard materialist, I don’t see art as separate from materialism. What art does is materially express immaterial things - a good piece of art isn’t just an image or description of events, it’s an idea or concept that has been made into a material form.
Art isn’t just a description of the world. The point of art is to change it.
“AI art doesn’t have the imperfections of the human touch.”
Except when it gives people six fingers and shit lol
Art hadn’t been properly commodified yet because the technology for mass produced art didn’t exist. They still needed artisans and artists, so they had to fund the arts if they wanted to see any created. They didn’t appreciate art more, per se, but they saw it as fundamentally different from other widgets.
This is no longer the case. With the advent of photography, film, digital information, and of course the internet we now see profitable “art” without any need to fund it with philanthropy. Aside from one-off public works projects they can fund by stealing public funds, they can only imagine art through the lens of profitability and have no understanding of the amount of free time and energy that has gone into creating so much of the art that exists today.
There is no Medicis in 2023. Instead you get Marvel.
This might not compel you to, but the only way to keep Lemmy from turning into Reddit 2 is by donating so they don’t have to seek out investors. We all have to do what we can to help out - that said, by posting you are creating content for the website. That’s not nothing.
I hope without karma we can do away with vote fuzzing.
It fails to do what I want, and that’s basically the same when I’m irritated lol
My point is that Lemmy being different and sometimes frustrating isn’t a big deal because none of us need it to work.
Municipal👏 Social👏 Media👏
It’s a little different, because people tend to get pissed because of the context of their routines. If I am trying to do work for school or for a corp, I’m going to be extra irritated when my software fails and I have to relearn something on top of doing work I already don’t want to do.
Lemmy is just for fun. I think people might be more forgiving.
I guess? But like, if the Independent State Legislature of California decided to go along with the decision and become the People’s Republic of California then the Court could just say “no but not like that tho” and then ban California from doing that. They must still care somewhat about credibility/legitimacy, but I guess they just couldn’t help themselves when the chance to attack The Gays was available.
Well there’s still 3 liberals that could be replaced by the next Republican.
I’m actually surprised, I thought the reason they were reluctant to endorse the so-called Independent State Legislature Theory because they didn’t want to erode their already fragile credibility in light of the seemingly endless corruption scandals. Then they go and basically ignore the entire concept of standing and make a ruling based on literally nothing! I think I need to reexamine how smart I think they are…
You don’t actually know that, though to be fair, an actually principled stance would be to refuse to serve all Republicans and not specifically Trump supporters. In some ways Trump is becoming the lesser evil of the Party when compared to some of the other monsters running against him.
Actually! There was no website. It was all made up.
Hopefully I can replace myself with an AI and then she can deal with this shit.
