I remember seeing this in Beehaw. Basically: the user was negligent, but this does not excuse Microsoft in one bit. (Or byte. eh.)
One thing that the 3-2-1 rule of thumb doesn't handle, and is important here: the reliability of each copy also matters. Specially when it's a small amount of copies. And when you're dealing with someone else's computer ("the cloud"), the reliability is shit; doubly so if it's the computer of some megacorpo, since you're more expendable.
Perhaps the relative amount of all-or-nothing folks is different, but you're right - they're here too. And everywhere in the internet.
In fact, I have a hypothesis that four donkeymen are to blame for most social media woes:
- Decontextualisation - when some info or reasoning is present in the context, disregard it.
- Assumption - when some info or reasoning is absent from the text, make the opposite up.
- Oversimplification - when it's too much info or reasoning, disregard even critical bits.
- Genetic fallacy - when the info or reasoning comes from a specific source, automatically label it true or false.
The all-or-nothing folks sit squarely at #3; for them gradients - like "Lemmy has some shit, Reddit has more shit, thus Lemmy is less worse than Reddit" - are hateful, too much info, too "hard", too "I don't understand, I'm so confused...". It's simpler to say "Lemmy has shit, Reddit has shit, both equal, EDIT WOW THANKS FOR THE GOLD KIND STRANGER!!1ONE".
For some reason I don't recall, in 2023 I decided to watch Hikaru no Go again. All 76 episodes (incl. the special). And I did it over the span of three days.
I also remember doing something similar with FMA:B some years ago.
Update, as I just prepared dinner for today:
.
Tarte Tatin. Or like my folks call it, "tatatã". I'm following Chef John's recipe, with a homemade crust:
pie crust recipe
250g flour
50g sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
125g butter
1 egg yolk
eyeballed amount of ice cold water
- Mix the powders.
- Add butter, in small pieces. Then use a spatula to work them into the flour mix, until the mix is a bunch of small crumbles.
- Whisk the egg yolk with some of the ice cold water. Add it to the mix. Then add just a bit of water each time, until the dough is barely able to stick to itself.
- Put dough in the fridge, wait 30min. Then roll the dough out, using the pie pan as a cutter.
Normalmente digo "yerba mate" en inglés, para evitar confusiones, o preguntas como "ah, pero cual la diferenza entre yerba i erva?". Ya en portugués llamo de chimarrão o mate. (Hago lo mismo con dulce de leche vs. doce de leite)
Yup, pretty much.
And there's more: if, hypothetically speaking, we could make a platform completely shit-free, people migrating to that platform would bring their own shit with them, so the platform would be shitty again. As if there was some sort of equilibrium to be restored.
...I'm going to call this Le Shitalier's principle.
Leftovers of the minutal matianum (Roman pork with apples) I prepared for lunch.
I was going to prepare it the past weekend, but things happened, so I did it yesterday.
Will this keep Redditors saying other alternatives like Lemmy are not worth it?
Lemmy sucks regardless what Reddit does. // Its not mutually exclusive, they both suck.
Every fucking thing sucks. If you want the perfect place, tough luck - you won't get it, ever.
So instead you look for the place that sucks the least, given your priorities. And when one place is becoming shittier by the day (like Reddit), the others (like Lemmy) do become more attractive.
Alerta roja, alerta roja, skullgrid y bdonvr estan triangulando mi escondrijo! 🤣 (...soy de Paraná.)
I agree with the core argument - we need to focus more on communities (as "groups of people sharing something").
This will become increasingly more viable over time, as we [people already in the Fediverse] establish and nurture more communities. For now, however, I think a lot of recs still need to be about the Fediverse itself - because it's how you show people "you don't need to subject yourself to the whims of a Nazi billionaire or the greedy pigboy aping him".
I think it's important to be aware of a few options, and be able to answer questions about apps, but I fully agree we shouldn't advertise the Fediverse based on apps. Specially since you can always check the content without one, even from a phone.
Yup, I agree. It's better for two reasons: more attractive to newbies + it keeps the Fediverse decentralised.
General purpose instances have some reason to exist, as not everything "fits" into neat boxes. But I think this will change as the Fediverse gets more mature, too; people eventually migrate from the general purpose instances to more specific ones, as they find their own homes here.
