I’m not your fwiend, buddy!

No, and I’m not a guy. 👍

Cheers!

Oh, of course, I was never denying that.

Sure, just as we have small independent email instances. But by and large the vast supermajority belong to a few large players.

I have no doubt the same will happen to the Fediverse.

Capitalism ruins everything in the end.

Oh good gods I hope not. That kind of popularity is what killed Reddit.

Getting hugely popular --> Higher server costs --> Increased temptation towards profit-seeking

Sure, the whole of Lemmy wouldn’t privatize (at least at first), but what would likely happen is just as what has happened over the last 20 years with email: a few instances gets most of the traffic over the course of a decade or two, meaning small, independent instances won’t be able to compete.

Sure, their hosting ability (“users/dollar”, if you will) would plateau, but as more and more people join the big instances (think lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and so forth), the percentage of the Fediverse going to small, independent instances would increasingly get smaller, until we end up a corporatized federated Web to match our corporatized unitary Web.

Definitely just the hammer & sickle. It still very much applies.

Alternatively, though this is not strictly Communism but Socialism, I really like the common logo used for Democratic Socialism, the Fist and Rose!

I also really like the logo of the Democratic Socialists of America!

Except not all comrades are white-collar workers.

A very large number of us, believe it or not, are blue collar.

(I’m one of them.)

Welcome to the Department of Redundancies Department!

How can we help you‽

I think it’s nonsense.

The “free market” is never truly free, and if there isn’t something holding the capitalist class back, they will always dominate the working class until the system just breaks. The only way for a stable society to exist is for checks and balances.

People in the European Middle Ages (5th–15th centuries CE, in case you’re curious) thought the earth was flat.

Because it never should’ve been made in the first place.

Like the Star Wars sequels, it was just yet another example of

• a mainstream, well-known, toe-the-line corporate Hollywood director who
• is known for making big bombastic movies that are great eye-candy but shallow stories (“a mile wide but an inch deep”),
• who aren’t actually fans of the franchise & are thus actually just outsiders to the fandom and thus don’t know what makes actual members of the fandom “tick”, what makes the content great and all that,
• and because they’re not huge fans of the franchise, rather than spend the time & energy to consume, understand, and get up to speed with all the years of varied lore (good and bad), they just go the lazy route, say “fuck it let’s just do a reboot” so they don’t have to do all the work.

It’s easy to say that the Kelvinverse is “just an alternative canon”, but that’s only because it largely flopped. If the Kelvinverse had taken off, or if Paramount had been stubborn and kept with it like Disney has with the Star Wars “Disney canon”, it would have undoubtedly been the only officially recognized canon. This is exactly what happened to Star Wars, and as it stands Legends/EU canon have only largely been kept alive by the fans, with very few exceptions (one of them being the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO).

I don’t normally like mustard anything, but yeah that shit is fire.

All of the Kelvin-verse Star Trek movies and all Disney-canon Star Wars content.

.......Except for Andor and Rogue One. That shit is tight.

Because I splurged and bought too many Snyder’s of Hanover pretzel bags and now don’t have any money. :C

Yes, it stays there.

That’s really cool that the snooze thing makes it go away!

Oh I see so there really is no difference functionally aside from the fact that the native functionality is manual restoration while the addon functionality is automatic restoration?

Er…sorry. I guess what I meant by that is that from what you tell me it seems that there is virtually no difference between what the native “tab unloading” function is and what the addon’s “tab snooze” function is, that difference being that the former requires manually reactivating a tab while the latter can do it at a specific time/duration like an alarm clock.

Is that about right?

to see new comments on a post

But then loading an unloaded tab reloads the page, does it not? Or does it go strictly by the cached version? If it is the former, then it should load the newest comments.

Might be less coffee but it’s not just the coffee that’s the waste; it’s all the extra plastic that each one of those K-cups uses.

Plastic often lasts centuries (at least) to biodegrade and even then animals try to eat the waste and then die horribly.

Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later

Can’t Firefox already do this though?

It’s a shame if he never did anything with it, but thanks for going into detail! :D
