It’s all very Black Mirror

Very respectable setup. Nice work. I’m glad you found something that feels like home for you.

Can we get a screenshot of your setup please?

I know calling this a technology story is a stretch, so if it’s deleted, no hard feelings. But given they’re both apps, I popped it here. If you can think of somewhere better, please repost it and tag me.

What cop?

Beehaw was actually my first threadiverse instance. It didn’t become my main, because you all are way too over the top. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean that in a bad way, just that I needed a bit of chaos in my life and this instance is like cotton wool. When I left, it was so that I could partake in football discussions and life outside of this instance took a minute to adjust to. However there was one thing I took away from my experience, it’s that this instance was full of good, compassionate people. So it’s no wonder that despite my two major stints on other instances (shout-out to lemmy.tf and lazysoci.al), I always made sure I was active here. Even with this particular community. If something is super technical, I tend to take it to programming.dev, otherwise I come here because I want to have more humanist discussions about things and how they impact people and I love that. I’m glad to see that you’re all doubling down on that.

Off-topic, I think you’re doing the beehaw community a disservice by not updating the instance. I know you’re waiting on SubLinks, but who knows when that will be ready, in the meantime, Lemmy has added some very good and very useful things that improve the quality of life of users, admins and moderators.

It’ll be interesting, because Google have spent a lot of money to maintain dominance and no doubt Bing will try and fill the vacuum. Now is a good time for search engine investment. I suspect that Google will try and make some concessions to appease the law. Expect to hear rumours of Chromium and even Android becoming non profits.

Better for Linux? I’m not sure I would say it is. Better for the world in general? When you compare things like power consumption, you can definitely see that in some use cases (the average user), ARM is superior. But for Linux? Maybe by default owing to the fact that it’s more modern. As for RISC-V, the core is open source and “all” the extensions are proprietary, so it’s not as open source as it pretends to be. But it’s definitely better than what we’re currently accustomed to as mainstream.

I’ve seen at least one journalist say that they think so.

Since others are mentioning non-US based, I would like to recommend Migadu.

actual black people’s opinions

But I’m black too though and I don’t remember voting for you as our representative. Which is to say, yes, there’s certainly other things we can do to tackle racism, but tackling ground level stuff like inherently painting black as bad and/or negative is part of that. You’re free to disagree, but so would Candace Owens, so being black means nothing when you’re on the wrong side of the issue.

Seeing how society is consciously trying to move beyond white inherently being good and black inherently being bad, I think it’s perfectly right for someone to ask you to check your verbage. Just switch to allowlist/denylist like the rest of tech has done.

I was surprised to see the tone of response I saw in here. I always thought of beehaw as an inclusive instance.

In this case it means opts for alternative

I definitely don’t want the old or any Facebook back.

Thank you. I run BPC and forget that not everyone does.

Once upon a time, the humans figured out how to use the space bar and suddenly there was a surplus of energy on the earth again. The humans used the energy to end fossil fuel and then made the billionaires give up their excess and lived happily ever after. The end.

You’d be surprised. Whenever I’m watching webcams, I always hear people call to Alexa. Siri ranks second and I only hear people call Google by accident.

Think of it like Chrome. Doesn’t directly generate money, but generates a lot of money
