I thought that’s what the birds where for. These drones must be to throw us off because we were getting to close to the truth. Spread the word “BIRDS ARENT REAL”

Not necessarily. Religions special privileges are there to separate them from the government, it is to limit interaction between the two bodies. This is ultimately a good thing as it prevents the country/s from becoming a church state and maintain religious freedom. The issue is when a cult or other body strong arms its way to these privileges and then uses its lack of restrictions to exert their will on the country who can’t really do much back.
Scientology might yet get a way out just because they are a religion legally.
I have an m1 MacBook Air, and I can say that asahi runs very well these days. It’s definitely not done yet but it’s useable and much much better than macOS for server applications. They have a gpu driver now and everything base-Linux runs flawlessly ime. MacOS is still needed for updating firmware etc, however I would feel completely comfortable using asahi on it as using macOS for such things is a hassle. Docker and podman are just imperfect and not fun to use ime.
Same, but it does a pretty shitty job at everything I throw at it as a result. Might pick up a refurbished m1 Mac mini and put asahi on it. They are relatively cheap these days.
It’s not that I understand half the sentance, I understand almost every other word. This means I can’t make an actual sentance out of it and don’t know what this means at all. Much good 6 years has done me.
I understood about half of those Chinese words, my 6 years of Chinese are starting to pay off.
Fractional scaling isn’t available and neither is per-monitor refresh rate. Windows drag at a different refresh rate than the monitor and it is jarring. Additionally everything is really small on my big monitor. As soon as Wayland support is added I’m going to install mint, but for now I just can’t stand those downsides.
Mint is so nice! I would really like to use it but I just can’t deal with using xorg as I have multiple monitors and they are different sizes.
The closest thing we have is the proton issues page where such things can be tested by the community and if a fix is found it will be made available in the next experimental version for everyone by default. The problem with a community patch system is that the issues that most games experience that have issues are deeper than just new launch options or the like. It would require a code change, and this would mean downloading a new version of proton for every game you have a community patch for, which will fill up a lot of space quickly. The ones that do just require a launch option or the like this would be useful for though, it’s just that proton is so good these days there aren’t all that many games that can be fixed so simply, else they likely would have been fixed by default.
The assumption that an algorithm is bad is prevalent here, although that is not the only reason why centrally managed social media is thought of as bad.
That being said, algorithms I think would be very beneficial for this platform if made correctly, with psychology in mind. Algorithms on other platforms serve to addict users primarily, and as a byproduct reinforce confirmation bias. We here don’t have an algorithm so no addiction, but there are still downsides. Content like lemmygrad or hexbear put out is shown to those who really don’t want to see it, and the only option is to completely block them which is permanent, and doesn’t allow change over time (assuming this platform is built to last decades this will happen). additionally the vast majority of lemmy is liberal or whatever the corresponding ideas are seen as in the eu. This is dangerous as it reinforces our confirmation bias as well, allowing the platform to devolve into extremity over prolonged periods of time. This can already be seen happening by what some people comment and get support for under political posts regarding United States current events, and other political debates. I would provide evidence for this but I’m on my phone and can’t go find some without cancelling out of this post, if you ask I will find some. The extremity that will be caused by this while it isn’t good for us, may not necessarily impact the subs you subscribe to or you at all, this is good for you but it still damages the platform. If we wish to grow we need to be more welcoming to new users, this means more than just the sign up. If new users see constant extremist ideas under political posts they see in all and may want to engage in, or extremist ideas under memes in subs like fuckcars or atheistmemes they will feel less like a member of the community and more like an outsider and will leave. These issues are not our fault as they are just how the community has evolved and basic humanity at play, but they are still issues. An algorithm could solve these. If we design an algorithm to show users content they are interested in and content that they may engage in more often new users will feel connected quicker, however we still have the current and algorithmic confirmation bias issues. These can be solved by recommending more and more stuff that they don’t agree with or aren’t as interested in and boosting this content for them specifically so that it shows up less than the stuff they are interested in but is still present. This can be with post and comments. The obvious issue with this is they won’t interact with it if they don’t like it, however if done right you would boost content based on what is explicitly says and not what it may imply after deep thought, so all they have to do is see it and their confirmation bias doesn’t take effect as much, and they won’t get addicted as they won’t see only stuff they are interested in. The other issue with this is it requires collecting data. Since this would be a significant change to lemmy as code, I would propose that this data be collected locally and encrypted before being uploaded to your instance. This way the data would be secure but also accessible to other front ends that you log in through, because data collection isn’t inherently a bad thing if it serves to solve issues caused by our brains inherent imperfect compatibility with social medias and the internet. All in all I think this could be a very good thing that would not only make browsing lemmy more interesting, but would make it fight against the flaws in our brains.
What do yall think about this idea?
We could easily overpower them, let’s just take Mexico. On top of that let’s just grab Canada and then just take all of North America except Panama (tax haven)
