It is tech news, but I get you. It's hard to find a place with news about actual technological innovations, advances, updates etc rather than the machinations of the corporations involved. I completely understand the relevance, but it's often not the sort of genuinely interesting read you're looking for.

Well, here you have a company that fires their CEO for going too much in the direction of earning money.
Yeah, honestly, that's music to my ears. Imagine a world where organizations weren't in the business of pursuing capital at any cost.

yeah haha, the comments on most posts seem relatively positive to me? ironically, this is by far the most negative comment section I think I've ever seen here

honestly, I want to share this because it's a super relatable sentiment... but tide pods and coffee creamer aren't exactly the most relatable groceries to use for it lol

yeah, I use my start button all the time to quickly open stuff. Hit start, start typing the program name, hit enter because it shows up immediately as a suggestion. super quick with no need to touch the mouse

How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?
I just use both now, honestly. I don't really use the big subreddits because the users and quality of conversation feel like they're actively making me dumber... but there are smaller niche communities that don't really have a viable non-reddit alternative yet, and I'm not willing to let one greedy man force me to give up on a part of my life that I really enjoy.

Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth, warned more records could be broken this year, due to an increase in emissions and El Nino.
Okay, I know this isn't the point of the article, but this guy's name is cool as hell and would fit perfectly as the leader of a band of survivors once the climate change apocalypse actually hits.
Now, that said, I would prefer that it didn't. Every other form of existential dread I can rationalize away, but this feels inexorable.

You can subscribe to kbin "magazines" just like communities from other federated lemmy instances too, so you can view them all through lemmy.world or whichever instance you're on

Here's a link to the blocky docs with a little more explanation. The above link looks like it goes to the a docker image posted on the user's profile... I think? ^I need to get more familiar with docker^

I think the best approach might be general subject-specific instances? Like, video.games with a main games community, meme community, then smaller communities for various games - or sports.social, with communities for each sport.
I feel like we're going to end up with a particular community on a particular instance ending up as the "default" community for that subject, but it'd probably be better (in an ideal world) to have those on separate instances to maintain some degree of decentralization

I voted for no memes, and I'm really glad we got that, but one thing I want to mention is that it'd be good to have a /c/gamingmemes or something to redirect people to, rather than just a closed "no memes here". There's definitely an appetite for that content, and it seems gentler if there's another community they can be directed to.
(I thought about creating it myself but I've never really liked gaming meme pages, so I don't think I'd be good at hosting one 😅)
[***ARTICLE LINK***](https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/30/inside-matrix-the-protocol-that-might-finally-make-messaging-apps-interoperable/) (just because I sometimes miss them when the post has a text body) So, I kept seeing the option to list a "Matrix" username in my lemmy profile across various instances, but I had no idea what Matrix actually was. This is from last December so it's not hot off the press, but it was a good read and I wanted to share it in hopes it might help add some context for anyone else like me wondering what it's all about!
Interesting article. Honestly, it's fascinating seeing these major industry players having to answer questions outside of the realm of their usual short PR bits
That was always one of the things I preferred about old.reddit to the re-design, but I'm not sure where or if I can have lemmy look like that, instead of having everything squeezed in the middle i'm hoping it's just a setting i'm missing somewhere?
