  • Remember in the hunger games when Katniss unvolunteered and let Prim die because Snow was mean to her.

  • I knew the resistance would win in the end for all of those. Real life feels more like Game of Thrones and we aren't even the main characters.

  • The Verge can't afford a proper translator? Especially when there are direct quotes with nuanced vocabulary?

  • This feels like one of those things where couch critics aren't qualified. There's a pretty strong history of three letter agencies using this strategy successfully in other organized crime industries.

  • Cory Booker sets a record with marathon Senate speech. Will it rally anti-Trump resistance?

    Jump

  • If anti-Trump resistance hasn't been rallied yet, I don't think this is going to do it.

  • How about GOG Galaxy on Linux?

  • If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

  • I thought KDE was the popular choice to be honest. I feel like all the toolp newish OS are using KDE and the top old OS are using Gnome.

  • Well it's not easy. They are unsung heroes. They aren't the only volunteers in this world. Do you think the people in our communities volunteering to pick up trash or people at homeless shelters volunteering are requesting compensation or a pat on the back? Honestly, there's more than enough instances and volunteers to host those instances.

    And just to clarify, I do think our admins deserve a pat on the back and donations. I am eternally grateful, but they shouldn't resent their community for not donating to them.

  • The core argument here is should there be an expectation that donations should cover admins labor costs.

    Personally, if an instance is run off of donations, then it's a nice to have. As an admin, you shouldn't have that expectation. If you no longer want to volunteer your time, then don't. Shut the instance down, find someone to help you maintain the instance, or pass the instance off to someone else.

    I'm also okay with paid instances and admins trying to make a reasonable salary or even making additional profit as long as it's transparent to the users. It's their choice to charge, it's our choice to pay.

    Overall, instances should be run by a group of volunteers, not a single individual. Otherwise, the long term viability of the instance is questionable.

  • This week I'm going to try out ungoogled Chromium and Vivaldi. I know Vivaldi is partially closed source, but I'm not actually in the camp that thinks all closed source is bad.

  • Eh, I think that's a stretch. Right now, Lemmy is going nuclear on Firefox. Should I also stop using Librewolf, too, because ultimately, it contributes to Firefox? Chromium is solid and I think it's better to show what type of chromium we want instead of outright boycotting the entire open source project.
