I love how this statement is dripping with condescension for the people who built the service he’s currently driving into the ground - all while thinking of himself as some kind of super genius.

People always call this a market failure while willfully ignoring that whenever markets are left unchecked, this is the inevitable outcome.

Also forced them into arbitration, then refused to arbitrate the dispute.

Let’s see Paul Allen’s turntable!

Though if I had to guess, it’s going to be stuff like “build a shit ton of nuclear power plants, use e fuels for cars, use green hydrogen, develop fusion power, and generally do all the things that allow us to believe that we have to change absolutely nothing in our lives.”

Boost, Slide and Sync are all coming to Lemmy. Lots of other great apps, too, though - I’ve recently been using Thunder and Connect.

Here’s a Lemmy Apps Directory with 27 apps for Lemmy.

See, I really don’t need all those people to leave Reddit and appear over here.

I’m fine if Reddit keeps being what Reddit has become over the years, and all the angry, toxic, trolling, shit posting people stay over there as well.

I’m fine with a much smaller, much friendlier community.

I think the best case scenario for a place like this one here is of people stop thinking about Reddit at all.

It’s kind of breaking up after a long relationship: as long as you’re still thinking about what your ex is doing right now, you’re not over the relationship.

I think this place will find its groove once people will have stopped comparing features, communities, apps, etc. to how things worked or looked like on Reddit, and once people will have completely stopped caring about whatever may or may not be going on over at Reddit.

Worth noting that for the 11 years, Reddit didn’t host any images.

It’s hard to say why Reddit thought it was necessary to host their own images.

Isn’t it weird that we live in a world with fake plants that are mass produced to the degree that many of us recognize them in a photo, that the table has fake distressed wood, that the floor is fake wooden paneling?

So many things have become attainable because of mass production, but isn’t it weird that we live in a world where these things exist? Where you can walk into somebody’s home in s different country, on a different continent, and go “yeah, i have the same thing at home?”

Yeah, same boat here.

I absolutely love how Home Assistant can handle virtually any device or integration you throw at it, but for the time being, I’m keeping all my logic in webCoRE on Hubitat.
