Also this yes

Seriously. Anna archives, libby. There are so many open source projects out there for the ereader community

I think in some/most cases it is psychological projection, and in others it’s fear of the unknown. People either are secretly LGBT and hate themselves, or their brains just can’t comprehend the fact that some people are attracted to other genders.

Don’t use kindle? They aren’t the only ebook provider

Ligma

It’s a good piece of hardware. I do the same thing. Although I recently got a Kobo and I gotta say that I do prefer the kobo slightly better. Kindle is still good shit though

I’m curious to know what counts as performative reading haha

Is the new thing making fun of people who read on the train? I do it all the time ☹️

It’s going to remove all individuality and turn us into a homogeneous jelly-like society. We all think exactly the same since AI “smoothes out” the edges of extreme thinking.

Wow something I actually agree with (even if I know the money won’t be going back to the taxpayer)

Haha that’s very true. Same concept as signing up for a specific email provider. Hadn’t really thought of that.

Shit! So I guess we better do something about it?

It’s why my less “tech savvy” friends won’t join. They don’t understand what federation is, and No they don’t want to take 2 minutes to learn.

It’s annoying, but it’s reality. People don’t understand the whole different servers thing, federation, and how to pick one.

I realize marketing isn’t a strong suit (nor should it be), but I’m proposing two solutions (well maybe not solutions, but something to help):

• A quick animated video showing the benefits of Lemmy and how this all works (if it hasn’t already been done yet)

• A service that basically simplifies and centralizes the signup process to one screen. During server selection, users can see the most populated servers and click on them to learn the specific rules for the server, etc.

Idk, maybe we already have all this…or this is just complicating the issue. Or maybe we only want people willing to take 2 minutes to learn about how it all works. Tbh that’s a pretty good natural filter for the types of users I want to be interacting and discussing with.

If you happen to live in Massachusetts, US, Uber drivers are now making minimum $32/hr. This is of course without subtracting gas, wear and tear, psychotherapy for having to deal with passengers, etc. … but still.

News station finds that AI is unable to perform the job of a news station

I know this is just a meme post, but I find ancient symbolism fascinating. Pictographic language and imagery is so interesting to me.

Just reported your comment to law enforcement.

Remember when Americans make fun of China because the government censors and controls what you can say online? Yeahhhh……

Yeah that pesky balance of powers thing is such a nuisance and all.
