Everyone’s already hit the high points.

Sports fanbase tends to not be a tech base, which Lemmy primarily is.

Sports are paywalled to hell and back, the userbase here is far more inclined to avoid paywalls and the content behind it.

People dislike the celebrity gossip and stuffed suits surrounding sports.

My own personal disregard for sports leans more towards the dislike of the monied celebrity of the entire genre, the worship of the players, and the pointless obsession and discussion of things like stats that have all the meaning of dowsing rods. But that’s literally just my opinion and obviously plenty of people feel otherwise.

Is your friend white while complaining about non-white emigrants?

I think the internet at large should be viewed this way and the Fediverse is no exception. It’s almost impossible to completely get rid of anything that isn’t under your direct and immediate control - i.e. your own personal email server. I don’t assume that Lemmy/Fediverse is any different.

That said, with the effort to be ”not Reddit” or just another social media platform ready to be potentially abused, focus should be placed on privacy and user ownership and their ability to control their data on the platform.

Just more displaying that the rich, and particularly rich people like trump, live in the land of no consequences. They make demands that others pay for, never themselves, and when underlings defy them they become furious. Walmart CEOs are underlings, now.

Yeah, same thing.

Moving the goalposts.

Butwhatabout.

Appeal to hypocrisy is big.

This is how you cook with stainless. Get a high smoke point oil, get the pan and oil plenty hot, the put the food in. It immediately sears the contact surface and this is what prevents sticking. This is also why you slowly place food in the pan (other than to avoid spatter), it gives a little extra time for this to happen. Otherwise you gotta wait for the surface to brown and hopefully unstick, which might work for things like chicken or the skin side of fish, but anything liquid like eggs or super soft like the fish meat will have a good chance of sticking.

IOW, just do what chefs usually tell you to do with stainless and get it hot with the correct oil. Best odds of not sticking. Modern non-stick pans are pretty good if you obey the rules about using them.

Why would that ruin it?

Meshes nicely with their preference to socialize the losses (if I got screwed, gimme your tax money) and capitalize the gains (just gimme all your money) that they prefer in their kleptocratic or coporatocratic government style.

Pity they can’t just put a page in the book that says “from here forward we do things this new way” and just keep moving. But that’s not how legal and governmental systems work.

I didn’t ask anything. What’s your problem.

What benefit is there?

AI basically takes what I already see in search results and tries to make it a conversational summary. I don’t want a conversation or to read a made-up wiki summary, just give me the correct and pertinent result. Problem is that they put AI first and search result quality has been deteriorating for years, so two wrongs don’t mean forcing it on users is right.

I understand that.

If you’re chasing that flavor try some darker roasts instead of adding salt.

I don’t use reddit results much at all anymore thanks to it constantly trying to force me to use the app, which I don’t have. I do try to force lemmy into search results by adding it to the search terms when appropriate.

Problem is that Lemmy/Fediverse simply doesn’t have the established depth and breadth of information that reddit does yet, and reddit does have it because it sort of killed the internet forums that would have existed foe those subjects. I agree, it’d be great to have more knowledge sources in Lemmy. Growing the community types would be a start, but that needs people and participation, and growth is hard.

Goons. Stasi. Whatever.

I did a quick “NSFW” search and can confirm there are recent (as in 1-2 hours old) nsfw posts and they are viewable. I did not search for communities, just posts.

Edit: clicking the community shows it empty even though new posts exist.

The USSR had lifetime factory jobs, too.

Send the ships, quick. Don’t want to have to put up with people hoarding supplies or toilet paper again.

Oh goody. A reposter who possibly upvotes themselves.
