Does/ did reddit have a limit like this?

Lemmy seems to be the old nerdy internet of the 90s, prior to the enshittification

Lurking is fine. It just uses their server resources and doesn’t give them much value

I’m happy to see that the big German communities declined by more than half, and went from growth to decline

YouTube is strong because it has an evergreen library. Reddit relies on the present. That makes it much easier to change platform.

But… you have choice. Nobody needs to go to taylor Swifts concerts. Nobody needs to see the next Marvel movie. It’s a business.

As long as people only spend money on things that are worth more to them than said money, everyone is fine. If people can’t control their purchases, it isn’t the industry’s fault.

I’m fortunate to not enjoy popular culture in the first place.

And a lifestyle that doesn’t require cars seems incomprehensible to them.

It seems that when a dictator’s interests differ from his countries interests, the entire country becomes foreign to him

Isn’t cheap land good for anything that involves land use?

We have the north sea, quite windy and shallow enough to build tall wind Mills.

Currently the power rating is up to 10 MW and the blades are over 100m (300ft) long.

I agree

I didn’t say density is the paramount parameter. Also, once you optimize one drawback, it generally gets less important.

I just wanted to put the image into context, and show that it isn’t a big step backwards, just sideways perhaps. Or in other words, a sigle wind farm isn’t relevant, the sum is

It’s about density. Renewables Are great, but not on terms of value add per square foot. The coal under the wind mill is worth orders of magnitude more than the windmill.

And, it’s not as bad as it sounds. In general, the number of windmills keeps increasing.

I’m absolutely not surprised.

Them and chemicals in general.

That actually makes a difference to me.

I think civil rights for minorities are super important.

I find marriage much less important. It’s essentially just a symbol. (Or is it about the tax benefits and legal protections in case of death? That’s substantial)

I’m pro gay marriage, and merely attempted to reconstruct the opposing logic, and apparently failed halfway through.

Now, whats homophobic about this? The fact that in general to people of the same sex won’t reproduce? That seems about as outrageous as the thought that obesity is a medical condition.

I disagree with the article. It appears to make two points, both don’t convice me.

The first one is about a political donation made by the founder 15 years ago to the tune of 1000 USD. It was against gay marriage. While I somewhat support gay marriage, I find it totally acceptable to be opposed to it. It depends on what marriage means, and people don’t agree on that. For some people it just means a strong bond, stronger than a normal relationship. With this definition, gay marriage isn’t an issue.

But to other people marriage is an envelope that’s supposed to foster reproduction and family building. With this definition gay marriage isn’t exactly straightforward. Neither should it be for people with fertility problems and women over 50 in general. Are convervatives also against that? I guess they should. Whatever. I started off thinking I could defend the stance, now i don’t think i did. Either way, ditch a browser over this nonsense?

And if Tim Berners Lee spews some BS, will you stop using the Internet? Or if your country elects a stupid president, will you boycott the country and leave temporatily?

The other issue is what Brave does with ads. While I agree it is imperfect, I think in general the approach is among the better ones around.

Oh cool

Was hat der davon, sich ein Treffen auszudenken? Soll das eine falsche Fährte sein, damit man nicht auf seine Telefonabrechnung schaut oder was ist da los?

Der deutsche Staat ist das allerletzte, was ich verdächtigen würde. Ich kann mit nicht einmal vorstellen, dass unser Geheimdienst SpecialOps hat. Die funktionieren wahrscheinlich wie eine Mischung aus Schulbehörde und deutsche Bahn.

Was mich even an prorussisch und antirussischen stört, ist die emotionale Reaktion, die die Begriffe bei leuten mit russischer Identität hervorruft. Selbstverständlich beziehen die antirussischen auf sich selbst und schwupps sind sie beleidigt und der Westen ist ihr Feindbild.
