When reddit first started, it almost failed because there was no content.

So what they did was had staff members post, and reply to each other. They made sure to reply to any actual new people. And then they did this from hundreds of automated accounts.

They simulated activity to promote actual real activity.

I know everyone will disagree with me, but I’d say DON’T flag them as bots. If the bots fool humans, and cause growth of the fediverse/lemmy? Great. In time you can turn off the bots. But only once actual humans are here.

This is Patrick!

That…looks so messy! I know there’s no crying over spilled milk, but have you SEEN the price of dairy??? Gotta work a second job just to afford breakfast!

The other end of the umbilical cord goes straight to the cow. After it’s cut, thats how you get cow udders!

If you jerk them the wrong way, 14 year old boys will giggle.

Wait…the rest of the world doesn’t have hard jug gallons? What do they use instead?

I see 3 different instances of “kkk” lining up.

Something like 173 million users.

A bowl is most usefull when it is empty serving your personal data to our overlords, the corporations.

That is an important step, yes.

However another important step is that the default distro needs to basically not even highlight that terminal exists.

If you’re trying to learn how to use linux, and step 1 of the tutorial is “open terminal”, you will lose 97% of your new install base. Then headlines will flood that linux machines are being returned in high numbers.

As much as you guys hate to hear this, the first experience for a new linux user needs to be intuitive. Before they even turn the machine on, they have to know how to use this software. Not because they are experts, but because the space and experience guides itself.

Then as you learn, you can customize a bit more, and from there linux can become a rabbit hole. But the point is, let the individual user control the depths which they dive. Because I suspect 90%+ won’t even change the desktop background. And thats ok.

Make it easy for the dummies, but then you individually can tinker if you want to. And it’s linux, so…ya know. Go nuts. But some people don’t want to do all that tinkering. That vanilla experience is what gets remembered to represent that OS. Even if you customized it and experienced it very differently.

Orrrrrr…leave it as sausage size, and put billionaires penises inside! Penises? Penii? Peniii’ses? Words are hard! Off with their dicks!

You’ll shoot your eye out, Ebenezer Scrooge! Now let these ghosts visit you, and try not to think about the pink slime flowing through the sewers!

I would ask how you know that guy sweats a lot, but then I saw his username.

Fair enough.

That depends where you live. I wouldn’t want to live in India, which is crowded as hell. But Half of Canada is basically empty. Half of Australia is basically empty. Some of the states in the USA are basically empty. The majority of russia is empty.

Space isn’t the issue.

Thats been happening since 1996 in Japan, and 1998 in America.

We CAN sustain everybody we have now. It’s just billionaires have decided it’s more profitable to let a huge section of society suffer. The more suffering for us, the more profit for them. But you have to balance it, so it doesn’t lead to revolt.

Thats what ends suffering. Not decreased birthrates, but instead death and revolt of those holding back food and shelter from those that need it, so they can raise prices on unsold units.

Lesson 1: Don’t shake the baby.

Lesson 2: I said DON’T shake the baby!!!

Masturbator here. Can confirm spit as lube.

Please don’t leave your dark cave.

Start furiously punching EVERYBODY

And a person with THOSE hobbies is on Lemmy??? Well I for one am shocked. SHOCKED I SAY!!!

…not that shocked actually. Next you’ll tell us your linux distro, and a fight will ensue over which distro you should switch to.
