Yeeeeaaaaah. Kids today are just too busy with their skibidi toilet, and their school shooting drills. We didn’t have either of those things when I was a kid. You know what we had??? Jurassic Park! And Jurassic Park is awesome!

Remember when Toys R Us had a giant stack of these, being sold for like $5 each? I think Dreamcast was either already out, or just around the corner. And I said “That game looks cool. Too bad I’ll never get to play it…”

Yep. That tracks.

When reddit first started, it almost failed because there was no content.

So what they did was had staff members post, and reply to each other. They made sure to reply to any actual new people. And then they did this from hundreds of automated accounts.

They simulated activity to promote actual real activity.

I know everyone will disagree with me, but I’d say DON’T flag them as bots. If the bots fool humans, and cause growth of the fediverse/lemmy? Great. In time you can turn off the bots. But only once actual humans are here.

Something like 173 million users.

A bowl is most usefull when it is empty serving your personal data to our overlords, the corporations.

That is an important step, yes.

However another important step is that the default distro needs to basically not even highlight that terminal exists.

If you’re trying to learn how to use linux, and step 1 of the tutorial is “open terminal”, you will lose 97% of your new install base. Then headlines will flood that linux machines are being returned in high numbers.

As much as you guys hate to hear this, the first experience for a new linux user needs to be intuitive. Before they even turn the machine on, they have to know how to use this software. Not because they are experts, but because the space and experience guides itself.

Then as you learn, you can customize a bit more, and from there linux can become a rabbit hole. But the point is, let the individual user control the depths which they dive. Because I suspect 90%+ won’t even change the desktop background. And thats ok.

Make it easy for the dummies, but then you individually can tinker if you want to. And it’s linux, so…ya know. Go nuts. But some people don’t want to do all that tinkering. That vanilla experience is what gets remembered to represent that OS. Even if you customized it and experienced it very differently.

Found the guy whos 6 year old somehow spent $900 on their credit card in minecraft

Masturbator here. Can confirm spit as lube.

Please don’t leave your dark cave.

Start furiously punching EVERYBODY

And a person with THOSE hobbies is on Lemmy??? Well I for one am shocked. SHOCKED I SAY!!!

…not that shocked actually. Next you’ll tell us your linux distro, and a fight will ensue over which distro you should switch to.

How to wisely use $75.

Step 1) Send it to me.

There is no step 2.

As someone who grew up in the 80s, but never watched J.I. Joe…what?

Also, does the show actually recognize Sgt. Slaughter defecting to Iraq?

See, I like this.

I don’t have diabetes. Either type. But I said when I first got to Lemmy that it was very very heavy on tech and politics.

I said in order to grow we need more everything else. The example I used was I have no interest in gardening. But we should get a gardening community. Then I said I don’t know how to play guitar, but there should be a community for guitar players. These communities would not interest me personally. But they’re a sign of a healthy growing platform.

Last night I was browsing ALL and saw a post from a community called “Stop Drinking”. I’m not an alcoholic. I drink on occasion. But I thought it was really cool that community exists. They have a daily post where people pledge to not drink for the day. Taking things one day at a time. I think thats cool. I like that exists for those who need it.

And now this. I don’t have diabetes. This community won’t be of interest to me personally. But I think it’s cool this exists. I don’t know if a type 2 diabetes exists. Quite frankly I’m a bit ignorant on the difference between 1 and 2 is. I used to think type 1 was sugar levels too low and need sugar suppliments, while type 2 was too high, and need inculin shots to level it out. I was told thats wrong. In any event, I hope there is a type 2 community too.

All the communities for all the people! The way I see it, every interest no matter how niche, should get a community. Now granted some of them won’t have as big of a userbase, but that’s ok.

There should be a community for people who still collect POGS. Remember POGS? They should be back. In Lemmy form.

I’m getting off track. My point is, I like that this community exists for those who need it. Keep up with existing!

Not all. Just a huge chunk.

We won’t see the peak until society collapses and all the systems required to fuel that technology fall apart.

We’re currently at a point in history where scientists agree is past the tipping point for global warming, and now data centers are using obscene amounts of water to cool their AI machines.

We have unmarked “government officials”, kidnapping people off the street. Fascism is on the rise world wide.

How is this moment in time not the exact definition of what you’re describing?

I’m not saying either way what has you tired and anxious, so definately still see a doctor. But have you also considered the fact that society itself is now built on the foundation that people need to suffer for billionaires to rub their nipples? You may feel the way you do because gestures to everything all of this is fucked up.

Money.

2032 actually. The year of alien invasion.

The upside is, trumps home planet will finally take him back. You thought that orange skin wasn’t natural? It is. It oozes out of his pours.
