This doesn't change the policy and the benefits it will bring in the long run.

It's crap for the delivery drivers though. But longer term isn't forever and at somepoint that wage increase will directly benefit them as well.

I want to remind everyone that Lemmy has had a bot crisis, a while ago I did some research into botted instances and I estimated something like 40% of user accounts are bots. Although this was a while ago so I'm not sure if that is remotely accurate anymore

Many instances will have taken steps to start purging user accounts, at the scale of Lemmy, that downturn could be entirely explained by these bots being removed

Obviously some users will leave but i do feel it's worth noting this fact

1. Buy unprofitable application
2. Make a series of incredibly shit business decisions
3. It's now less profitable than before.
4. ???
5. ???
6. Profit

Pemdas isn't as arbitrary as people in this thread think it is.

I love maths, and I'm going to butcher any attempt to explain why pemdas isnt totally random. But you can look it up if you wanna know more I guess

Besides no one ever uses that notation - by the time you learn about quadratics, you leave multiplication symbols out of the equation entirely and much of the notation changes shape, with division exclusively being expressed as negative powers or fractions.

At that point you aren't going to make mistakes, since each hyperlevel uses a different style of notation. Pemdas is used to teach 4 year olds, and it's fucking dumb. What happens with a log, or sine function. Don't even get me started on integrals and derivatives.

Pemdas is shit, but not because it's abirtary. In fact it's shit because it's a shithole acyromn

If they had recognised what they had done to piss people off, this post would've done quite alot. If they had said that they fucked up when making the API changes and wanted mods to come help rebuild the API, that alone would've done an impressive amount to lower peoples nerves. They wouldn't have even needed to have acted on the advise. Instead they take zero blame, which imo only pisses more people off.

Matrix I feel is one of the better os for newbies You just send them towards element.io. Or at least that's what I did with my friend, when I wanted them to switch

How to get a successful IPO

1. Piss off userbase
2. Tell everyone you aren't profitable
3. ???
4. Profit

The ancient memes are great though. Like be honest, you laughed at the stupid 2001 meme

The Lemmy DM is imo actually quite important. If I want to get in touch with someone about a post, nothing more. It is an easy option, and serves a purpose. It isn't imo meant to be used for anything else.

We have hit the critical mass; and that is a cause for celebration. A month ago when I joined, I thought that people would come, post a bit. See the limited content and leave. And I will admit it was painful to use Lemmy back then since a solid 90 percent of posts where about the site or were rips from Reddit. Fingers crossed for the future of Lemmy

Hey can you post an update at some point, I'm interested to see if you manage to lower the radicalising content.

Reason and critical thinking is all the more important in this day and age. It's just no longer taught in schools. Some simple key skills like noticing fallacies or analogous reasoning, and you will find that your view on life is far more grounded and harder to shift
