The Dark Lord ☑️

Right. Throughout human history, if someone was cast out of a community, they didn’t survive. We’ve been trained through evolution to go along with the tribe because it’s unsafe to question anything and get cast out.

Agreed. You could argue that Reddit is actually overcrowded.

One day. But until then, Lemmy is already great.

Unfortunately closer to 0.5-1%

No one said they’re smart.

If they were smart, they would spend their money making their platforms more enticing than piracy. Instead, they spend it on lawyers.

I mean, you’re right. We exist in a bubble. The average person is not very tech literate. I would never not E2EE my backups, but the majority of the public don’t care. It matters far more that they can recover their data if they forget their password.

I love hating on big tech, but in this instance, making E2EE the default may make people very angry when they cant just reset their password when they forget it. I’m just happy the option exists where I can toggle it on.

Hopefully one day the public will care enough about security and privacy. And hopefully the public will be using password managers so they never lose their encrypted data. Until that day, encryption kind of has to be opt-in for the general public and available for people who have basic tech skills.

It is. I hate Meta, but this isn’t them. This appears on any site that isn’t loading properly.

Bold of you to assume that the country that still uses the Imperial system is the one that better understands fractions.

This is where they’re spending their money. Not on writers, but on this. No wonder movies are in the state they’re in.

If we just hear “the gospel” enough, we’ll come around. In reality, I hear street preachers, and see “Jesus loves you” stickers on street corners, and it turns me off even more.

This is actually an ongoing plot in the current run. In an altered state of consciousness, Batman created a failsafe, literally called Failsafe, to kill himself if he ever killed someone else.

When the program sees an article that he killed someone (he didn’t, it was a setup), it releases the robot Failsafe to defeat him. Batman has yet to defeat Failsafe, though he has survived so far against it.

All of them. The exception would maybe be something like Failsafe, which is a robot built by Batman (in an altered state of consciousness) to defeat himself if he ever killed someone. So, Batman is really the only one who could defeat Batman.

To add to this, they’re banning mass AirBNB rentals which should help. But yes, banning ownership of more than 2 properties would surely help most.

Yeah, actually found a detached 2 bedroom. It was so far south it was practically on the Fraser River, but still in Vancouver.

Just to point out, everyone else is talking about detached single family homes. The person from Vancouver gave a tiny apartment and it’s still worth nearly half a million.

The cheapest detached home for sale is $1,350,000, and it’s about as far away from downtown you can get while still being in the city of Vancouver.

Vancouver’s housing is out of control.

Shhh! No one tell OP that other countries exist!

Not the majority.

Of America, not of the world. Believe it or not, there are so many other people in the world outside of America.

Also, look at the presidents of the past. America has had many pro-slavery Presidents. Trump was awful, but he wasn’t even the worst President. The fact that so many people felt he was awful also shows that America has progressed.

But back to my first point, you’re looking at a country of 350m out of 8 billion people in the world. The world has moved on from so many of the things that the US continues to struggle with. As a people, we’ve advanced much further than we’ve been in the past.

Edit: wrote a “k” not an “m” for America’s population.

I disagree. We’ve had many political revolutions overthrowing leaders, religion has been on a heavy decline, and most people accept that science or basic logic is the most important element in an argument, not authority.

We just see so many people NOT doing that, and we hate it. We live in a world where the person doing the stupidest thing that day makes the front page, and we’re enlightened enough to critique it.

Stupid people will always exist. The idea that we hear about them more now and we hate them for it actually proves we’ve become more enlightened.

To add to your point: I’m 9 years into dev work. I’ve never bought a license. I build with the simulator, or I build onto my phone. You only need the license if you put an app into the App Store, and that’s further than the stage OP is in.
