I recently downloaded linux mint and I wanted use a live wallpaper so I found out I can do that with hidamari.

I've downloaded from the software package manager but it doesn't launch when I click launch.

What am I doing wrong?

I guess we are going to be in for more SEO spam than usual if this document is accurate. But I think its good that we are finally going to get a better understanding how Google manipulates people with the algorithm.

So a win-lose situation.

You can come up with the details on the kind of collapse.

Brexit, Trump and the Ultimatum Game (jamesallworth.medium.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/politics@beehaw.org

Found this article from 2016 and thought that it is actually a good theory of where we are now as a society.

The rest are my thoughts on this:

The ultimatum game is an experiment a dealer has a 100$ and they are able to offer you any split of the money they like and keep the rest for themselves. If you reject the offer no one gets any money. It has been shown that after increasingly unfair offers people tend to reject the offer even though it isn't a rational move.

People seem to be in a place where they see the benefits of society are unequally distributed and are becoming more willing to throw out the whole system even if it comes at huge cost to them.

We are seeing the same thing with what is happening in New Caledonia with the riots or with even with just people moving off established social media.

It seems like level of awfulness that makes people willing to just say fuck it all is different for everyone but with more occurrences of this happening I do think we are reaching a tipping point on a global scale.

This is actually a part of the reason why I believe countries are starting to regulate social media is so that people aren't reminded of these problems as often.

For example China recently made a law that is going to repress showing wealth on social media. So this is an attempt to hide the problem instead of actually facing it.

This is also related to the US election. Rationally people should choose Biden over Trump but according to the polls it seems like it being the "rational" choice isn't enough.

China is not socialist no matter what they say.

Since whales are teaming up with each other to take down yachts and teaching others how to do it I thought this would be a fun question.

If a majority of intelligent enough sea animals that could communicate with each other teamed up to mess with human activities in the sea who would win.

By the way for people that say that humans would obviously win we have already lost a war against emus before.

Idk why I'm mentioning it but compared to a lot of other online platforms where if religion is being mentioned outside of a religious community it is really in your face on Lemmy it seems like when it is mentioned outside of that kind of community it seems relevant to whatever they are saying and are generally nice.

Its a nice change of pace.

@onlinepersona@programming.dev and @CosmicCleric@lemmy.world should be able to give their perspectives.

Germany and Italy are also big on giving aid to Israel so Idk if the EU is going to be able to help either.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 2 months ago

I think it is part of a long term strategy.

They saw all the negative feedback that was given when the first announcement came and there were a lot of users saying its not so bad or that we should give them a chance then.

Eventually everything became quiet and things moved on now there is a steady rise of pro Meta comments again and this time it will lead to a less violent reaction because it has already happened once before.

Rinse and repeat until they become the norm.

When you check the mod logs and filter by mod you can see that it came from Mr. Kaplan which is a lemmy.world admin.

So yes it was a lemmy.world decision. The question is whether or not this admin was a lone actor.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah this admin is only 1 month old. So it does seem likely that they weren't around for the last outrage.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 54 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The part that annoys me is that this was done silently even though last time they said they would ask their users. Hopefully it was just an admin that didn't get the last memo.

Edit: the community -> their users

Have you seen human rating rituals?

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 3 months ago

That and being direct with someone when asking to be in a relationship.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 5 months ago

What annoys me about this is that it implicitly says that if you have more money you deserve to be safer.

After many hours of talks, it became clear that our overall goal could be achieved outside of Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Right now, we feel that Lemmy and ActivityPub have downsides that are limiting us from achieving that goal.

I have two questions.

  1. What are your long-term goals for your platform?

  2. What are the downsides to Lemmy/ActivityPub stopping you from reaching those goals?

Also to answer the main question I'd like for it to stay but at the same time, the last time I checked Beehaw had around 700-ish Monthly active users. That means there probably wouldn't be that much of an impact on the general discourse of Lemmy more broadly.

That seems like enough to sustain a pretty big community on a private server even if about half of you left. So if you guys do decide to leave I wish you the best.
