Are there full-size ortho keyboards?

Ah yes of course. Both Meta and Bluesky have far outrun any federated-short-blogging effort of the Fediverse, and as a result companies will rather want to monetize those. But this is also the paradoxical situation of people in here who both want “the Fediverse to succeed” and “keep corporate interests out of the Fediverse”: Either won’t happen.

Right now it looks more like this’ll remain a hyper-specialized place for specific discussions, Mastodon more so. You can go there for false dichotomies in regards to browser development feedback for example, or for dejected Youtube actual-content-creators getting yelled at for engaging with their community.

But it seems it’ll stay at that. However, this also keeps any monetary interest away from it, so that’s good. Of course, should this ever change and the Fediverse grows more welcoming and that works and it grows bigger, of course the moment users move in (in numbers), advertisers, astroturfers and all will move in with them. That’s just a given.

And partially why I hate this “Just block’em!”-approach to Threads: It assumes the stick-your-fingers-into-your-ears-and-ignore-the-issue approach would ever be an actual solution to any problem. And then when you run into an issue you cannot avoid that way, you have fuck all experience doing something actionable about it, as you’ve never tried before.

You raise an interesting point. With web 2.0, we did the equivalent of all the fediverse stuff blocking meta. And look where that got us. Maybe it’s time for a different approach.

You realize the second part would also happen if the Fediverse “takes off”, yes? Then naturally companies would come in and trivially take things over as there’s money to be made.

It’s a natural end state until governments can be made to curb corporate freedom.

Damn their video introduction gives me 90s and early 2000s vibes. This is like those early 3D-rendered VR experiences on television.

Got any more interesting facts about tits, cocks, boobies, peckers or shags?

I mean… yeah.

This should not need specific mention. But it’s good that these warning exists, anyways. But it’s also kinda obvious, you’re ordering from Aliexpress/Temu. It’s like those shitty china cat fountains that run the 220V line into the water basin and convert the power there. Because hey, why only fry your pet a little…

I mean I’m all for stricter gun regulations, but chopping everybody’s fingers off might be a bit much. Granted.

It has now been finalized as of yesterday, from what I understand. Previously it was a work-in-progress policy change they were still unsure about, and now it’s decided that this is the way going forward.

I reckon sadly at least part of the reason will be that they are in a partnership with OpenAI, and feeding generated stuff into a GenAI breaks the model, so they need to keep SO as non-AI as possible.

Okay, and how would you address it? The limitation is easy to criticize when you can think in a vacuum about it. But in the real world, we’d need to find a way to change things that can actually be implemented by everyone.

Which usually means transformative change.

Okay, random weird nonsequitur replier, you do that then. Don’t know what it has to do with America all of a sudden but sure, feel free to.

Hey I mean, this is Lemmy. If you are unhappy about an instance’s moderation it’s a free fediverse, you can always create a better-moderated one. That’s part of the spirit after all.

Totally missing the point of the thread. Read the room, dude.

And we don’t even know whether it is indeed not an onion in there.

I mean, people who buy vegan cat food support an industry that abuses animals, too. 🤷

But yeah, not much that isn’t vegan left in my diet anyways. Some cheese, for the rare time I’m baking one of a handful of specific things some milk, and that’s mostly it. The rest is all vegan. Just don’t abuse animals, don’t feet a carnivore a vegan diet. 🥹

I’m not a carnivore? Been a vegetarian since for-fucking-ever, considering my age probably long since before most here knew about a word like “vegan” existing, on account of existance. Seriously, the fuck where did you take that from?

Don’t project, please.

That’s not what cracking down on gig economy is. Gig economy benefits nobody except the rich farts at the top of the companies employing it. It is entirely and solely meant to increase profits of the bosses, and shoving those costs onto the country the company is operating in.

And hence changes such as these are entirely meant to move that money back. Ideally, for the employee, nothing changes at all. Their bosses buy 5 Porsche a year instead of 8, and the country has another company paying their required taxes and insurances they happened to be skirting until now.

Please don’t be a hypocrite.

It’s ridiculous that you don’t seem to realize how much this applies to your first post. 😂

Sure. It’s also possible to feed your animal a bad diet. Notable, and in this particular case and for the particular animal, the two happen to go together, when you feed a cat a vegan diet, that’s a bad diet for a cat.

Will the cat immediately keel over? No.

Will some cats live long lives and be pretty healthy? Sure.

But on average, will your cat live shorter and worse if you feed it a purely vegan diet, respectively if you let it roam outside, will it be a seriously ferocious hunter as it tries to re-balance it’s diet? Yes, definitely.

Whether that’s consciable to you, that’s something you have to decide. I would however hope that especially someone who subsides on a vegan diet for their human diet would be against animal cruelty, and hence just feed their cat a mostly meat-based diet (not entirely, that’s not healthy either).

You, the mod/admin exist to stop spam and hate speech and to empower users with tools and features that they want and find useful. Otherwise, just stay the fuck out of the way.

Yeah, and the post in question was about someone hating on their cat in an abusive way. Reason to remove it.

Also, you don’t get to decide what the admins exist for, it’s their instance, they do. Make your own instance if you want to decide what the admin (i.e.: you) exist for.
