The bible … or the cartoon? either way, the answer is the same anyway … they’re both made up.
Indigenous Canadian from northern Ontario. Believe in equality, Indigenous rights, minority rights, 2SLGBTQ+, women’s rights and do not support war of any kind.
The bible … or the cartoon? either way, the answer is the same anyway … they’re both made up.
Reposting is like Einstein’s ideas and perspectives of time … it’s all relative.
When you see a meme for the first time, it’s not a repost, it’s something entirely new to you … but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.
As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time … to them it is new … to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost
Just like time in the universe … time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice … but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone
Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity
It would be more efficient if we shrunk the power of the wealthiest individuals and made everyone fall under a wealthy limit
Why should one person own and control so much wealth when they will never realistically be able to enjoy all of that wealth during their lifetime? Especially if that one person hoarding all that wealth they’ll never use is producing, creating and maintaining so much pollution for one individual.
Don’t exist until they’re gone … I’m a middle child in a family of eight … mom kept an eye on the baby and the oldest … as long as there was six in the middle, no one really cared who they were until that number of middle children decreased.
Don’t change the logo … just keep it as is … I identify the app more for the app than for the site it was associated with … I associate Sync with Sync … I don’t associate it with reddit, lemmy, kbin or anything … I just associate it with Sync which makes the most sense to me
That logo only means Sync to me … and as an app I think it should remain that way
Willy Wonka looking straight into your eyes: … yes … EVERYTHING
Does this mean that in ten years we’re going to have a pandemic again?
What is going on here? … is this a time warp? … is this a new thing? … is this an old thing? … is this a thing? … did I just find a time machine?
One important key lesson that everyone misses is funding … we have to normalize paying a bit of money through donations or subscriptions to those people that maintain instances and those people who maintain, update and build the software … if we all just keep tell ourselves that we all just keep our heads down, lock the door and don’t bother to pay anyone to keep the door locked … the same problems of the past will always emerge … Owners, developers, programmers, instance maintainers just running out of money and enthusiasm because they have the shoulder the financial costs while everyone ignores them and takes everything for granted.
If we all just keep expecting volunteers to keep everything running for us for free … eventually we will run out of willing volunteers as the community grows and the costs add up over time as instances grow more popular
SUPPORT YOUR INSTANCE … whatever platform it is and whatever amount of money you can give … even if it means we just give a dollar a day, across hundreds or thousands of user, it will protect your instance owner, and ensure that the people running your instance never run into a situation where they have to decide on either ending their work … or selling everything they have to make a bit of money back.
Does Dawson have any lemmy, kbin, mastodon connections we can link to?
I want to connect with his account without reddit and give through patreon or any fundraising he is doing … I dumped reddit but I had been using sync for years and I paid for the lifetime subscription just before going off … after what he did for us for years, I’m more than willing to give funding to him for his work
Mass Starvation and mass migration due to the climate change
These are the two things that will severely affect every part of the globe in the next few decades. No one will care about why the animals are dying or getting smaller, or why storms are getting worse or why floods are happening … millions of people will be moving into places where other people already live and people won’t like that.
And we’ll wonder why the world is degrading and why we are fighting one another.
