- Comment on So how does an unmoderated community run please? 4 days ago:
If they aren’t mods, then they can’t really. There’s only so much a community can do without mod abilities. Can’t stop spam, can’t ban spammers etc.
Depending on the instance and the community in general. It’s possible for admins to appoint a new moderator and remove the old ones. Lemmy.world will. I know because one of the communities I moderate was effectively moderatorless for a couple of years. But a few of us in the community stepped up.

This. I have installed wled via espressifs ide and tools. It’s disable. A lot more work.
I’m all for the isolation and such. It absolutely shouldn’t be avalible to just any website. But comparatively it’s way easier.

To an extent sure. But if their adding some ai MCP server to the browser etc. It’s going to be way more dangerous. So for me at least of kind of a wash.

Good to know as well. I don’t have a use case myself so I never bumped into it.

Yes Firefox has pretty much been my daily driver since before it was called Firefox. And the UI overhaul in zen definitely elevates it. I wish the Mozilla Foundation was less focused on AI and advertisement bullshit and more focused on things like UI improvements or web USB support etc. The underlying engine is pretty decent. But it’s the foundations behavior that really makes it not viable for a lot of people.

I have to keep a version of Chrome around because Firefox refuses to support or won’t support web USB. But other than that my daily driver is Zen. Firefox based. And I wouldn’t trade it.
- Comment on EVERY CHANNEL IS OWNED BY ONE MAN NOW 4 weeks ago:
While it’s certainly never been easier to cut the cord so to speak. For a lot of people it’s still easier said than done. I sat down for the first time in months somewhere where broadcast television was playing. Oh my God I don’t miss it. Granted right now weeks before the midterm toxic political commercials are everywhere. But even without them it was utter shit.

If something can be fucked up. The state will find a way. The bigger the state, the bigger the fuck up.
- Comment on Don't 1 month ago:
I am an enemy of the state in general. All states. Authoritarianism 100% exists. Though I get it. You have a different taste in boots. Authoritarianism of course can’t exist without the state. And the state once it’s achieved a significant size inevitably Trends toward authoritarianism. But they aren’t the same thing that’s just silly. Though if you can explain how a governing state built on something like total/absolute consent is authoritarian/oppressive, I’m all ears.
- Comment on Don't 1 month ago:
Authoritarianism. It has no strong preference for left or right. Wherever there’s a strong man. You will have the people that think the strong man protects them and serves them. Even as he serves himself. And the people who are being tread on.
- Comment on Fox News stars attend China’s State Dinner despite ranting about communism in the US 1 month ago:
To the reactionary / conservative mind communism just means enemy. And they have no actual concept of what the word means. In no small part thanks to the countries like China and Russia misusing it for decades and decades.
But now that China is powerful capitalist Nation. With a strong man whom our strong man pathetically sucks up too. They’re kind of into it. And the only time you see them complain about Chinese communist. Is when the pavlovian term slips out naturally in a string of slurs as they speak. It was a dog whistle they were trained to bark at for decades if not Generations. So it’s hard to give up old habits.

- Comment on When will .world admins start actually caring about Piefed.world ? 1 month ago:
To be fair. They need to ban that poster and their IP as they are spamming multiple communities and instances. But yes, I would like to see updates as well. But resources go where they are needed most.

Perhaps, if it exists. All I get is the instance login page. !shitfediversesays@moist.catsweat.com should turn it into a federated shorthand link for other instances.
- Comment on Where is ShitLemmySays? 1 month ago:
Lemmy is part of a larger ecosystem. Not a monolith to itself. There are plenty of communities targeting other communities like that. But seeing as what one person views as Lemmy could also be piefed, mbin, mastodon, miskey, etc. It doesn’t have quite the appeal.

GTA IV was the last one I’ve ever owned. Been tempted by 5:00 a few times but I have got enough games that I’ll never play. I don’t need it as well.

That’s upsetting. The BBC-A version had a lot of creativity and interesting characters. Shame that people won’t control themselves and chose to abuse others.
I prefer the BBC version by a margin. It’s the much more Adams coded of the two. Dirk was an actual detective with an agency. Portrayed as extremely morally ambiguous. As opposed to magic British himbo twink. But it was also short. As is BBC tradition, where most shows don’t go beyond a series or two. Just figured BBCA was doing the same. 😂

Eh it’s over twice the length of the original BBC one. I wouldn’t have minded seeing more. But it ended at a good spot at least. Honestly surprised it lasted that long with Elijah in it post LOTR.
- Comment on It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire. 2 months ago:
Is it that different today? I’d argue a lot of the legislation getting done that isn’t just naming things. Or approving reoccurring spending isn’t just useless, but harmful.
- Comment on It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire. 2 months ago:
They’re 100% is. But it 100% requires addressing what you just talked about. There needs to be a new labor movement. Where terms are renegotiated again.
- Comment on It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire. 2 months ago:
Initially politician wasn’t supposed to be a career. It was a side hustle you did after planting and after harvest. Which exains some of the session schedules you see today that seem odd.
I’d argue that we need to get these offices back to being what you do outside your day job again. Whatever that means in modern society. However, if were going to make the mistake of letting it remain a career path. We do need to pay accordingly. While codifying actual laws against graft. Not just unenforceable “norms”.
- Comment on Cool Japan 🌸 3 months ago:
You’re going to face it anywhere you go. Don’t let it hold you back. There’s always a slight feeling of unease around those that are different from yourself. But not everyone turns it into a justification to hate. I saw this video 5 years ago about a guy going to Japan trying to track down the location of a meme image from the early internet. They ended up heading off to a smaller town that wasn’t very touristy. Something that could go very badly. As some of the small towns like anywhere else can be very insular. But instead when they got there. Ended up spending the night chatting up an eager bar owner about Kurosawa and star wars.
- Comment on About half of lemmy today 3 months ago:
This has nothing to do with that. This has to do with someone who develops a piece of software sneakily trying to enforce their own megalomania. Without making that fact sufficiently clear. And to be clear no matter what side of the political Spectrum you stand. This was unequivocally absurd the way it was done and handled once it was found out.
If you want to be in a status quo cocoon. That is your choice. But it should be your choice and not something forced on you. Quite frankly I feel that these types that want to avoid all politics aren’t very bright. Life is politics politics is life. There is no escaping it until you die. And even then people may still try to use you.

The futo software does seem to work fine. But I removed it from all my devices over their shadiness of the group behind it.
- Comment on Update: 136 workers have been laid off at id Software 3 months ago:
Parts of Blizzard have unionized as well. Though I did see yesterday that nearly the entire iD Tech development team was let go. Which is a fuck ton larger thing than many people would assume at first.
Think of just about any major 3D engine, that isn’t automatically unreal or Unity. It likely has ties directly back to iD tech. Call of duty, half life and the entire source engine and so so many more. Though it’s branched a lot less since Bethesda took them over and now Microsoft. But if the team is gone and the engine is officially dead this is a massive thing.
- Comment on Update: 136 workers have been laid off at id Software 3 months ago:
No one was spared. Blizzard has been slashed as well. These big Mega companies were never going to be good stewards. No one should have ever assumed they would be. It was always a mistake to sell to them.
Hopefully something good can come up this. Such as the developers Etc unionizing widely. It’s a lesson that we unlearned that we desperately need to learn again. And hopefully many of these laid off can keep cut and form new groups of their own. Which they can control for their own benefit. And keep it that way. So what if these big Mega corporations have all this ip. It sucks that it will decay and die. But the artists and creatives we’re always the heart and soul of it. And we’ll be capable of making more. Even under a different name.
