I didn’t say he must have been right. I said he’s popular.

Many people would jump off a cliff if he told them to. If many people would use Linux because of his content, then so be it. There’s no amount of complaining here that would change anything anyway.

Lol, lemme know if I’m incorrect :)

He’s a famous youtuber with countless follower. Who are you?

I’d hit that!

But why full stack?

Because there’s so many of them, with more and more keep piling up fresh out of the coding bootcamp. Most of them don’t even know what to do with life, know a bit of everything, but they’re never good with anything really, so they are considered like worker ants. Not sure how it is in other parts of the world, but in Asian job market they’re a dime a dozen.

Their social feed is a plague.

A bit of a positive thinking here: maybe it’s the same research and they keep making progress.

Don’t forget the storage density and the ability to search

Currently, credibility is verified in centralized manner for good reasons. One of them is to keep the shams out of the game. Sadly, such system has been abused rampantly.

Such issue wouldn’t be as prevalent on Lemmy due to the casual nature of things, but if the stakes are to be raised, then it would really become a problem. Just look at how people have tried to abuse the very system we’re using.

The voting manipulation comes to mind, with rogue instances being created just for the purpose of mobilizing an army of bot in the form of users. Since the very people doing the exploits were the ones running the instances, and the bot users were created in these rogue instances, the good instances (such as the one you’re using and the one I’m using) had no control. The could create millions of users if they want to and if the resource allows it, and there’s nothing any of us can do about it. They could the use these bot users to either raise a post to the front of your feed, or downvote it to oblivion. The one thing that can be done is to defederate from these rogue instances one way or another.

This is just one example. I’m sure there are many more vulnerabilities out there. Maybe in time, the fediverse would become more and more mature against such thread model. Switching to instance whitelisting for federation policy has proved to be effective against the one I just mentioned.

One thing that we can probably start with instead is to have independent journals, and maybe they can support one and another. The question would then be: how would they earn the credibility that our community can trust?

You’re a good man.

I guess a “troubled person” would just thoughtlessly kill a bunch of kids he spent quite some time with on a whim.

Never hold your breath when your superior tells you that they’d promote you.

I’ve had a boss who was telling me from the start that he had plans for me. Three years passed by, no promotion, no raise, nothing.

Then I moved to a new job. My boss never promised me anything. I never got my rank promoted (yet) but I’ve had more raise than I could ever ask for.

So…

What’s your spaghetti policy here?

Typical first world citizen.

Since I’d be cremated, probably some coral reef

Would you care to tell me more about all these private trackers?

Everyone: let’s standardize all the plugs so that we don’t keep hoarding cables!

Apple: heh, plebs…

Goddamn ancient fish!

Wow, a blast from the past!
