Divide and conquer. Non state-actors and special interest have a far easier time attacking a hundred small entities than one big one. Because people have much less bandwidth to track all this shit than it is to spread it around. See ALEC and the strategy behind state rights.

In the end this is about economic power. The only way to curb it is through a democratic government. Lemmy servers too can be bought and sold and the communities captured that grew on them.

Yes. Cooperatives = co-ops. Let the workers (and possibly users) elect management and what to invest profits into.

But what if the magnets reprogram your brain to just not notice thee differences? Ever think of that? Obviously you can only question the infernal power of the heliomagnetism while wearing a tinfoil hat.

Easy. Nationalize social media and turn them into democratic cooperatives with the mandate to enforce strict moderation on hate speech.

Neoliberalism is the belief in inequality based on class.

Fascism is the belief in inequality based on identity.

No wonder, it’s just a small hop.

Oh is that the bastard administrator from hell?

I feel the same. Besides what you mentioned, there is also the effect on what news and content will be produced and shown (see Manufacturing Consent). The advertisers who are the customers of shows want the viewers in a buying mood. So while “if it bleeds it leads” works fine but controversial topics that disturbs people or make them think will not be shown.

Best example is youtube - once the demonetization came there must have been significant effects on what topics were discussed and how. Without sponsorings and patreon it would be worse, but this or rule is shaping our global civilization for the worse.

People pay far too much attention to ideology, but it’s the rules of a system that lead it to converge to different outcomes. And advertising is a big one.

No somthing more than just “mere” syntax highlightinng or prettifying like e.g. in VS Code. Being able to change line height for a “headline” when you declare a new class. Or maybe lines that illustrate how a temp variable is used. But it’s all vague ideas and I can’t picture or describe it well and you’d have to demo this with a graphical design tool I think.

Is there some language or “syntax formatter” that turns source code into something more off a visual programming language? Like a WYSIWYG markdown editor.

Like python doesn’t have curly braces, but you could add some kind of “block illustration”.

Or you could have illuminated initials for variable names to make them more unique.

I believe most image generating models are too small (like only 4GB RAM). Deepseek R1 is 1.5TB ram (or half or quarter that at reduced precision) to get some semblance of “general knowledge”. So to get the “semantics” of an image right, not just the “syntax” you’d need bigger models and probably more data describing images. Of course, do we really want that?

Weirder? Interesting, like how for example?

But as far as I can remember, you can’t administer the rooms in a space as one. Like you need to be invited into each separate room.

Not saying that you couldn’t add that, I’m saying they don’t seem to want to “do what discord did”. Which is a bummer since the success of discord clearly shows what would be needed.

PS: It’s fine to do that as a UX design choice, more like IRC. But the issue is that people like you (no offense) say it’s the same when it isn’t. Like not even understanding what the problem is.

Reading the headline I thought this would be about something space related, like unfolding solar sails.

And if it could distinguish better, it could also generate better.

Try using VPN and different browser or delete local reddit data. Not sure if reddit allows VPNs anymore for account creation though.

Make a new account and tell them.

Does matrix have multiple chat channels per server / community yet? Last I asked they didn’t understand my question. Basically matrix just isn’t meant to be a replacement for discord.

I think all you can do in an open group chat is use vpn/tor/anonymous email. Besides private messages, but then the server can be forced to disclose the metadata.

Of course, it’s an image generated by AI that has been trained to generate images that can’t be distinguished from reality. So of course the AI thinks it’s real lol

Well I’ve always hated Visual Studio. It installs so much bloat, it is more like another operating system installed on top of your existing one. It’s an abomination.

And no matter what they call VSCode, for what most people need to create software it’s a perfectly fine substitute. I guess you should call it a DE, a development environment since compilers are not “integrated”. But that is a good thing, to be able to install compilers separately. On the other hand if you install compilers, the addons to integrate that compiler into VSCode. Maybe it’s an “integrating development environment”? :D
