Are billionaires as much of a problem in China as they are in the west? I thought they already had way less, and the ones that do exist still have to bend over backwards to appease the CCP.

Nightlys are not things you should recommend for production use. Especially for (potentially) non tech savvy teachers and students.

Actually while typing that out I thought more about the technical architecture of such distributed alternative streaming service that pays artists fairly, and it does sound like it could be fun to build.

But everyone in the fediverse already knows how difficult/impossible it is to get the average person to switch to open source software. It would most likely be a waste of time.

Because they have all the customers.

If you don’t like the rate the current major platforms give, you could choose to use one of the many alternatives that (presumably) exist.

And if they really don’t, I could build you one in a couple of weekends with all the open source resources and federation protocols available today.

But none of that matters because all the paying customers are on those major platforms. And until you convince users to move off those platforms, you’re basically their bitch. They’ll pay you whatever they happen to feel like paying you.

They ship a version of Windows 10 without any of those included. It’s called Windows 10 LTSC (Long Term Support Channel).

Try installing that to never be bothered again.

Yikes, people here are brutal to people with differing viewpoints, heh.

Doesn’t seem to matter how knowledgeable in the subject matter the person may be either.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The animated series are great! (Lower decks is my favorite of all Star Trek).

TOS is… not. While it was great in the 1960s, most of it hasn’t aged very well. Feel free to skip TOS and start from TNG.

However, if I was a billionaire, I would consider trying to build up the religious Left. Bear with me.

So, it turns out you don’t have to be a billionaire to make things happen. I can think of two ways a bunch of people on Lemmy can make a movement like this happen.

Approach 1: Create a non-profit/charity

This will have to start very small, be funded through donations, and slowly grow by helping people in various ways, causing more people to join and expand. Like you mentioned, it will take a very long time to make a dent in Catholicism.

Approach 2: Get corporate America behind this

This is a lot easier than people think - we just need to figure out how do monetize this. Given how many private jets and other extravagances Christian evangelicals have, I suspect there could be enough money in religion - we’d have to discuss and work out how to get enough $$$ to make it worth their while without having hate as a core tenet of our religion.

This approach could have the advantage of multi-million dollar advertising budgets, lobbyists, and many other resources to have a much faster impact than the other approach.

Let me know if you’re up for discussing and fleshing out the details. I think it could be a fun exercise, and it might even lead somewhere in the future - I personally have a few contacts in high places in corporate America that will always listen to new business pitches 😉

So when I searched for that, this is the first result that came up:

Seems pretty enshittified.

Where do you normally get yours? Do you have brand recommendations?

Congrats. You won the genetic lottery and was awarded some top tier eyes.

A lot of people were not.

Ooooh. This is exactly what I want, and I want to help you make things better!

I’d like to brainstorm ways of making it opt-in, and making it discoverable without being spammy.

What do you use to coordinate code contributors to your project? Do you have a matrix channel?

PS: I don’t think you need to focus that hard on making it two way. What you’ve implemented so far is already useful. There are some porn subreddits I used to go to when I’m horny, and let me tell you that comments are absolutely not necessary!

Because they don’t know better.

If you have an android phone, you can plug it in via USB and enable USB Internet tethering, which will give you working internet access on your machine to do the Wi-Fi debugging with.

He says so in the readme

Yeah that’s basically Linux at this point

Not Reagan?

Seems to be somewhere between 0.5 and 0.7 billion, which due to a quirk of the English language are technicallybillions, making OP technically not wrong ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Is the point supposed to be that they haven’t been cleaned in a while?

Otherwise they don’t look that bad. 🤷
