sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you support the Fediverse financially? If so how do you distribute contributions between Client/Instance/Platform?English12·23 hours agoI’d donate a bit to all of them (your home instances, and the respective devs) because you’re using resources from each. But that’s just me.
I’m more disturbed by the lack of tread on their shoes!
It’s hard to tell but she’s actually skating
sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you support the Fediverse financially? If so how do you distribute contributions between Client/Instance/Platform?English23·1 day agoI’ve donated to development. Instances need support, but the platform won’t improve without developers.
It’s popular to shit on lemmy.ml and the tankie devs, but that’s where most of the development and beta testing happens. It’s wild that software that allows users to ignore the silliness of that instance isn’t funded because of the instance.
(It’s possible for devs to be distasteful enough that I wouldn’t use their software, but we haven’t gotten there yet with Lemmy)
sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•‘I blame Facebook’: Aaron Sorkin is writing a Social Network sequel for the post-Zuckerberg eraEnglish131·1 day agoLet’s fucking go
The Facebook Files made – and provided evidence for – multiple allegations, including that Facebook was well aware of how toxic Instagram was for many teen girls; that Facebook has a “secret elite” list of people for whom Facebook’s rules don’t apply; that Facebook knew its revised algorithm was fueling rage; and that Facebook didn’t do enough to stop anti-vax propaganda during Covid-19. Most damningly of all, The Facebook Files reported that all of these things were well known to senior executives, including Mark Zuckerberg.
It’s clear which side Sorkin is taking. “I blame Facebook for January 6,” he said last year. “Facebook has been, among other things, tuning its algorithm to promote the most divisive material possible. Because that is what will increase engagement … There’s supposed to be a constant tension at Facebook between growth and integrity. There isn’t. It’s just growth.”

sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Jaguar population doubles around Brazil’s Iguaçu FallsEnglish6·2 days agoTo any of you wags who are about to say “oh good! Now there’s two!”
But cross-border collaboration — between Brazil’s Jaguars of Iguaçu Project and Argentina’s Proyecto Yaguareté — has helped the population grow to at least 105 individuals.

sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?English1·2 days agoIt’s what I love most about Lemmy.
Mostly Lemmy, but I reinstalled Hoplite for a flight a while ago.
sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•U.S. wine exports to Canada have fallen off a cliffEnglish4·3 days agoDoes that mean that we only buy ~$40m of US wine per month? Or we did, before the stupidity.
I assumed the number would be much higher.
sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does the creator or the audience determine the meaning of a work of art?English6·3 days agoThere is no single meaning. Viewers of the art can find meaning, but it won’t be canonical. I think the meaning the creator intended is important, but that isn’t necessarily what the audience will understand from the work.
So I guess I’m saying that the audience determines the meaning.
sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Why are Dutch children the world’s happiest? A teenager weighs inEnglish16·3 days agoMy high school classmate Cal commented on this anxiety once when we were talking about how Gen Z apparently parties less. “People are too scared for their kids to go and do stuff, and I think, as a result (we) as a generation are too scared to do stuff now.”

sbv@sh.itjust.worksto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•The First Zombie of a Zombie ApocalypseEnglish7·4 days agoI dunno. It’d be nice to mix things up a bit. Find a whole new set of things to worry about.
I took my kids to visit their grandparents, and then we went to the town celebration. Lots of red, white, and maple leaves, but nothing too patriotic otherwise.
We’re heading to the fireworks later. They’re small, but it’s a nice community event. I always hope there’s a spontaneous round of Oh Canada after - that happened once on a foggy Canada Day in Halifax and it was amazing.
Happy not-fukan-amurrican day.
Unironically, this is pretty damn Canadian. Have a good one, eh!
