Look into it. I cannot explain this well. They actually have more than enough money. In fact they are spending recklessly in other projects because of that.
Yes we should donate if that changes but right now it would be better to donate to less well funded open projects.
Never heard that one in my life. Maybe a regional thing?
Some sort of super community that are searchable (i.e. not something Clientside) and span multiple servers. The fragmentation of having the same few communities everywhere is my biggest issue here.
In general I want more and better discoverability of communities anywhere.
Wasn’t the iris something the military built after relocating the gate? If so maybe it was never found before. I mean it is in Ohio…
It can be rotated, no? Doesn’t seem to be in a working state right now.
And it is amazing! Especially further north in like -20°C
It could be a good product. I neither hate it nor like it.
I personally know someone in advertisement and viral marketing is more widespread than I think people realize. That is why I would like people to be sceptical about stuff that gets recommended with this kind of frequency (and IMHO with text in a tone that I’ve read in actual viral marketing campaigns) especially if the product is commercial.
This method of advertising is used because it works and as you can see by the backlash here merely suggesting that it could be an ad and asking people to be sceptical/cautious is taken as breaking a social taboo.
My intention is not to personally attack you just to get that out of the way. That is why I prefaced my statement with the tinfoil hat part.
I don’t know if the company can afford that. I did not look into it enough but I know that viral marketing is not a very expensive marketing strategy and I hate it.
I can speak only on my experience here on Lemmy where I hear it mentioned with a rather high frequency and in ways that suggest to me that it could be an advert.
I will not apologize for being sceptical when it comes to commercial product recommendations and I suggest everybody do the same as viral marketing is extremely widespread in the modern net.
Like watching a movie you already watched? Having no perceived control over one’s actions?
Yea that’s called depersonalization…
Is this a real thing? If so is it meat based? Don’t ask me why I know this but in SpongeBob lore the Krabby Patty is actually plant based.
Ok I need to put my tinfoil hat on for a moment but I think there is some viral marketing going on for it on Lemmy. The frequency I see it recommended or mentioned and the unorganic way it is brought up gives me advert vibes.
I have horrible spelling and sometimes write in an archaic register. I also often write in a way that sounds rather aggressive which is not my intention most of the time. Ai helps me rewrite that shit and makes me more sensitive to tone in written text.
Of course just like normal spell check and auto completion feature one still needs to read it a final time.
I know of a case in a German university where something like that was dealt with quietly and internally.
But your argumentation structure is flawed. It would be better to argue what an organization ought to do and how that is legally and ethically justified than to argue that every organization would call the cops.
I mean your argumentation boils down to your own ignorance (I don’t know of any case ergo it is impossible/improbable) or hand waving that it is obvious. That is not convincing Argument imho even if what you are arguing for is correct. Which I don’t believe just to be clear.
Actually I think games would just include Linux Kernel modules for Anti-Cheat (which would be terrible as the Kernel has no consistent internal api). Or whole kernels that run in a hypervisor.
Never underestimate greed.
That is… surprisingly little. Are you sure?
I don’t see why an nfs setup wouldn’t work but it could generate a lot of network traffic.
In the end test for yourself if the performance is acceptable and keep a backup
Beets is great. I’ve used it for years now
Yes this all presupposes that this bias is a bad thing. Not saying that it isn’t mind you
I mean as far as I know they are not doing anything inherently bad and have good intentions. So no need to feel sad.
I am just recommending to look into projects that are in dire need of funding.
