I’m on Fediverse for few years and reading all the replies here I find it … sad? Funny? I really don’t know what to think of this. It looks like for many people the biggest disadvantage of federation is federation itself … It feels like people want the centralization and don’t want to have options (or rather think about the options)

Or is it an age thing? I’m kind of used to lurk the internet and find what I want. But I can imagine that people raised on f.e. Netflix, Amazon where it’s like “BAM! Here you have everything” aren’t used to this

Thanks, I hate it !tihi@lemmy.world

I’m not 100% sure but If you heard about companies/websites that provide DNA testing like Ancestry, MyHeriatage, etc. (actually anything related to genealogy), there is a big chance that they’re based in Ohio Utah and in some way connected (or directly owned) by mormons. Just by now they must have a huge database of people’s DNA

But feel free to correct me, as I said I’m not entirely sure if this is the context

Sigh … can you people tell me what is your “idea of life”? Like what do you think a persons’ life should look like?

I mean for a moment lets imagine that you’re the only one on earth, everyone just disapeared. Your life will be pretty hard do you realize that? It’ll be a constant survival, gathering food, clean water, being warm, preparing for weather catastrophes, animal attacks, insects, diseases, etc. You’ll be constantly on edge whether you survive to the next day, week, year. The reason you don’t have to deal with shit like that is that we have sort of functioning society where everyone takes a part, everyone specializes at something and together we achieve more and make your life super easy.

So with this in mind, back to the original question - how do you imagine your existence? Sitting down on your ass? Travel? How? Having a family? How do you feed them? Do you want them to be in constant survival mode?

Or if you like this then go. Really. Go to the woods and enjoy your life.

Or is this somehow supposed to be criticism of 9-5 office job for some billionaire? If yes then this is laughably shallow view of jobs and a society as a whole. Whith shit like this you literally shit on eneryone who does our society a better place.

Linux users really are like vegetarians/vegans - they want you to join them and when you do, then they judge you for not being vegetarian/vegan enough

Since even asking is an issue, my suggestion is to be a divination wizard with specilization in mind reading

193 cm and 157 cm for the rest of us

Holy moly, and I was thinking about buying a parrot to my daughter …

This is one of my pet peeves - so you have a HUGE universe to work with, thousands and thousands of interresting planets, anything you can imagine. But no, because of callback$ and reference$ we’re getting to the same planets over and over again, even to Tatooine which should be by its purpose in the story forgetable, boring, a planet everyone overlooks

We could still have some fun with ALTER TABLE
