Math-wise, it won’t take long until they are tied to the track with us and everyone else.

You are changing the question to “is a perfect replica of a person considered the same person or not?”. That is not the question.

What you experience by using a teleporter is you enter a room, and then you die. End of story. There being another replica of you somewhere does not change that you died. For an outsider they may argue whether or not you died, whether or not the replica is you, and so on. But from the perspective of someone who enters the teleportation room, it’s over. Dead.

Is that G.W Bush eating pussy?

Only ever used KVM switches at workplaces, never seen one privately owned.

If you entered the field 10 years ago, sure. If you’re trying to enter the field now, I have bad news…

See the thing is, when you use Windows you don’t need a compatability list.

It’s less about weeb shit and more about the sounds of the words. They abbreviate it as Ligma (balls hehe got’em!)

Meth is a product that was found, and then developed and improved in order to be better at what it does. The expertise demonstrated in the creation of Meth shouldn’t be compared to Facebook, which is just the first product to come out of a market. Facebook hasn’t developed further as a social media platform, it has developed further as a money making device.

You could say Alcohol is the Facebook of drugs. Drugs have developed over a very long time unlike social media, so the history is much greater for this case, but the point is that alcohol, despite not being the best in all categories, is the most popular drug simply because it’s not as harmful as others (such as meth) and has been around for longer than the new, less risky alternatives (such as weed). I’m not considering coffee as a drug for this metaphor. Alcohol is making the most money not because it is good, but because the rest is mostly illegal, and/or less ingrained in social norms and traditions.

Point is, I kind of lost myself along the way and started rambling, comparing Facebook to Meth is not fair because Meth is not socially accepted while Facebook is, maybe compare Reddit to Meth, idk

It may also mean that you have the type of paper that you want to print on, but the divider inside of the paper tray is set on a different size -> and then it thinks you have the wrong paper size because the paper doesn’t fit the tray size.

Basically you either want to: put paper in the tray, change the paper in the tray to a different size, or change the position of the tray divider thing.

For everything except the memes I agree. The memes are clearly not generated by 30+ year olds though, and there are a lot of memes. (all of those 196 communities)

The people using Instagram/Facebook aren’t people who are looking for a platform to browse the Fediverse, at least not the majority. The majority of users there are people who don’t even know the Fediverse exists.

Meta isn’t looking to join the Fediverse or provide some kind of service to their users, they are looking for business opportunities. They are looking for money, advertising space, free content. Videos and memes were stolen from outside sources into Facebook for years and they still haven’t addressed it - there isn’t even an option to link to the source outside of copying the link directly into the post.

Meta has no goodwill whatsoever. The ONLY things they are looking for are business opportunities. More people to milk for money, and more ways to do it. They are not a new player in the internet scene, they have always been against social interest from the very first changes they made to Facebook, and they are still that same company under the same leadership.

Not defederating from Threads is choosing to water down the content in the instance’s “all” section, in order to have an instance with literally 100x the size of the entire Fediverse, which can at best produce memes and at worst stand against the entire reason anyone even made an instance in the first place.

TL;DR I support defederating from Threads. And I write all of this while considering your post to be good - your opinion makes sense to me, I just don’t agree with you. And I don’t agree with you because I watched FB and Reddit turn to shit simply because they had too few people in power. Lemmy can survive this problem because there are just too many people in power to abuse this system in the same way.

The problem is that while subscribed you see the popular posts twice. All of them. Sometimes even literally one after the other in the feed lol

Right now we just choose between seeing almost everything twice (sub to both) or missing a little (sub to only one).

From a different end-user POV, seeing the same stuff repeated is not fun. I would prefer to see everything once instead of choosing between seeing almost everything twice(subscribed to both) or missing a little bit(subscribed to one, blocked the other).
