To be honest, here’s the difference: Lemmy has fewer voices. That’s mostly it.

I think there’s less trolling and fewer bots, but it’s not by a lot and that’s just for now. If Lemmy gains popularity, it will get just as much negative attention, the main difference will be in moderation.

Sure they are, one they figure out it how.

If you actually had a catch all service

I believe this used to be called cable tv.

But before you reply, yeah, I know cable didn’t get everything. And you had to pay extra for Disney, HBO, etc. And on top of the exorbitant price there were always tons of commercials. That’s all true.

But I do remember a time right around 2005, when everyone was saying “if only there were a-la-carte options, for people who only want sports, or only want movies”. My point being, there’s no winning and the grass is always greener somewhere.

And for what it’s worth, I basically agree with you. I use Plex, I have a few friends who also run Plex servers and we all share content. That’s the best catch all I’ve ever found.

You can’t legislate piracy away…

Isn’t this something you use rss for?

I think this has to be one of my favorite comments of all time.

Probably our stainless steel too

It’s fascinating that the system consistently misunderstands how syllables work.

I mean, initially I think it was weighting the importance of the syllable structure to low, because it’s of absolute importance in haiku. But then later when it assessed the syllable problem, I think it was still miscounting with some lines.

What a weird response. I was addressing your comment. You didn’t mention Palestine.

Oh whoops, it must have been a different post in this thread that I mentioned Gaza.

you would rather play the Sinophobia and Yellow Perilism card and assume that I receive Xi bucks.

I’ve said nothing of the sort. That sounds like deflection.

I never said it was exceptional, quite the opposite, I’m saying many countries have border disputes.

Interesting that you don’t seem to care about my other examples, Gaza or Crimea. Got a soft spot for China?

They say with wine there’s an opposite correlation, the worse the label, the better the wine. I’m not sure I agree with either. Anyway, no worries, I was just teasing a bit.

I mean, judging by a title, a synopsis, or a review would all be a better method than the cover art.

You could, but I wouldn’t buy it.

If you noticed…

Wow, so you literally never learned to not judge a book by its cover? That is some admirable honestly, a really brave confession.

Well yeah, as of 6 years ago, after China invaded with military force, HK has been recognized as part of China on all maps. But Google showed it as part of China even before then.

And then yeah, I just remembered the wrong name, it was the border of Tibet/Bhutan that are in dispute, so parts of Bhutan display as Chinese territory.

Thanks for catching that.

You’re thinking of “condiments”, which are usually used in different situations.

You know Google owns Waze right?

This is a good reminder and sanity check. Things this big are rarely easy to change.

They did (in Russia). There’s no hypocrisy here. Just blanket compliance with local authority.

The maps look different when viewed in different regions, this becomes apparent whenever there’s contested territory, like crimea, the China sea, Gaza. We only see the maps that our local government approves.

Yeah, I’m with you.

This timeline took a serious nosedive somewhere around 2010. I’m no longer sure think we’re pulling out of it…
