I think we just underestimate the amount of people who think like that

If you've ever worked in any public facing role you'll have understand how dumb the average person is. Or to put it differently the average person doesn't know what is required of a specialist in any field to do their job properly. It's just magic to them until they are informed of the complexity of the subject. Most people can't grasp or won't put in the effort to even understand basic things they are throwing thousands of dollars at, or making decisions that will have life long effects. I think the average person discussing and voting on the meaning of a foreign (to them) language written 150 years ago in a context that is completely different to modern day life is laughable.

Some things are better left to the experts.

Lemmy is only developed by 2 people full time. They have no where near the manpower of Reddit. Things just take time.

I live in the southern hemisphere. Not worried about it at all /s

Only if you trust the device your decrypting on. Wouldn't trust windows or Mac with information that could put me in jail.

Or the scanner that was working 5 mins ago and now refuses to.

I remember when reddit gold was there to pay server costs. There was a little bar on the side to show how much % was covered per day. I had it for quite awhile. But then I hit financial trouble and had to cancel. By the time I could afford to give back they got greedy and I couldn't in good faith keep giving them money.

Reddit could have been a non-profit like Wikipedia. But they wanted all the money.

I gladly would have paid $2.50 per month to access reddit as it was. But I guess they didn't want my money or because they couldn't have all of my money they weren't interested.

Hey no one tell anyone but most of the apples we export are man made. Most of hawks bay is dedicated to just growing apples... That were developed in a lab, and the fact is they can't grow well without human intervention ( thinning, pruning, etc)...

Let's not even mention the "organic" pesticides they spray on them that gives you blisters if your in the orchard too long.

So should we just be poor and starve or are we going to actually drop this sharade and try and feed people ?

Hopefully your partners okay. People are shit and don't want to get involved with other people's businesses.

Did you hear the story of the homeless man dying on Courtney place and no one noticed for 3 days?

People aren't as nice as we all pretend to be.
