otherwise we end up with another version of COBOL.

We’re already there, I don’t see VBA being phased out of accounting or finance for at least a decade and I’m not even sure then.

Another Sys Admin confirming that yes, the finance department runs nearly entirely on VBA. They would be lost without it.

given their direct rulers are the billionaires

Yeah, I use threads like these to block users. Can’t wait for lemmy to implement user level instance blocking like mastodon has.

Edit: don’t downvote me, tell me what issue you have with this.

Nice, some of my material is also ttrpg related so that’s especially helpful haha Thanks!

No doubt, this is the best mushroom book imo. It’s on my shelf as I type this.

It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

Mind if I ask what a better option would be? Looking to release some work myself in the next year and was going to start looking at which options would be best.

W raised the banner saying “Mission Accomplished” what more do you want? Jeez.

We could dominate the political landscape if we did, but we don’t.

Go look at the midterms we just had, it was historic. The GOP was supposed to gain way more seats based on previous trends but Gen Z came out in droves and denied them that. There hasn’t been a midterm like that in half a century. That’s why the GOP are saying things like this, they’re scared because in 2024 even more Gen Z will be eligible to vote.

Everyone make sure you do what you can to vote, it’s crucial.

The rare quadruple down on the dumb. Calling a lemmy community a subreddit is not a metaphor, it’s objectively wrong. No matter how many non-applicable examples you provide. How are you this dense? (That’s rhetorical btw)

Because people like me have an interest in having people like you be a little less self-righteous.

lmfao the projection of writing this at the end of the most self righteous comment I’ve read on lemmy yet is delicious.

Trying to say calling a Lemmy community a subreddit is a metaphor lmao

Also, you came back to the comments without getting a notification to reply to the edit? Dude, go outside lol

This isn’t about their political views in particular, this is about them brigading comment sections and derailing from the original topic and shouting down anybody who disagrees.

Defederation because of political views is, frankly, dangerous for democracy.

What? This is such a ridiculous claim I’m not even sure where to start. Federation does not equal democracy, and defederation from a shitty spammy instance has zero impact on democracy.

This post is from RT, about Ukraine/Russia/Belarus but the biggest thread in here is rehashing the Iraq occupation. Can we just discuss the original topic? Is that so hard?

This is why so many instances defederate from hexbear, they do this in every comment section. Just turn it into whataboutism against the US, and add nothing to the topic that’s actually being discussed by the article. They’re basically lemmygrad but brigade comment sections more often.

Edit: You ever see somebody say something dumb and then they unabashedly double down? Yeah.

I have a bunch of lemmygrad and hexbear accounts blocked so I can’t see the other replies to your comment but I bet it’s a whataboutism against the US, isn’t it?

Edit: lmao the downvotes tell me, yes, it’s just whataboutism against the US because that’s all they ever have to offer.

It’s someone somewhere deciding what I can or can’t see on a remote host they have no control over.

I mean, they do have control over it in a sense. They can defederate from it so it’s no longer on their instance, which they did. You can still access the community from other instances though, like you’re doing now, so it’s not really a big deal. This is how federation is meant to function. People running their instances by their own rules.

I agree though, their rationale for defederation from this community does not add up for me either. But at the end of the day they can be as irrational as they want with their instance.

Are we okay with this?

It’s their instance, their rules. You can join another instance that doesn’t defederate from them or make your own. That’s the beauty of the fediverse design. It doesn’t matter if we’re okay with it, we have options to get around it unlike with centralized platforms.

That’s a very specific time line, you got something planned?

It’s optional, you can make it e2e encrypted with the secret chat option, which the CCP doesn’t like.
