The powermods arent bringing anything unique moderation except a network that allows them to control content for a specific audience.

It depends who. There are some that build tools and procedures for handling large forums. They may also share best practices across different subs.

As for controlling content, it isn’t like a corporation or political group can’t create 20 accounts and take over subs. That’s already happened on Reddit.

Its overall a good thing but the powermods will be replaced with reddit admins doing the ame

Or sock puppet accounts. Banning the current set of mods without a plan on who replaces them doesn’t fix the problem.

The problem with powermod isn’t that they exist, though. Moderation of a large sub is still done by volunteers that have had to hack solutions together because they don’t get a lot of support from Reddit. It helps Reddit to have experienced mods overseeing several subs because they bring with them experience on how to handle high profile and large scale moderation efforts. They are a technical talent pool that Reddit relies upon a lot.

The problem is that Reddit has shitty mod governance. It still uses rank by add date and offers no ability for users to kick a mod out except for TOS faults. Reddit doesn’t want to fix mod governance issues because it creates a legitimate mod power structure and Reddit doesn’t want to give that much power to users, including mods.

That said, Reddit’s shitty mod governance was copied directly to Lemmy.

There was a guy who owned a car windshield replacement company who would give away free dinners or diamond necklaces if you hired his company to replace your car’s windshield.

He was found dead with two strippers/hookers, one of either sex, some cash, and one of the diamond necklaces his company would give out.

Harry was always the spare, so it was highly unlikely he would ever get the throne.

Sure thing, Rick from Empire Glass.

I wonder how long Ethiopia will take to fill the dam.

He probably likes being famous.

Android could be profitable if Google Play Services went with it. However, that doesn’t exactly fix the monopoly problems associated with Android.

I hate to say it, but unless Chrome becomes an open source project, I’d rather that it be owned by Google. No other company that could make money on a browser should own Chrome.

I feel like EU countries who are neutral are going to run into issues when the EU creates a union military.

But even then, Godot is an engine instead of a game. For various reasons, it appears that the ratio of open source games to closed source games is orders of magnitude lower than other forms of software.

You aren’t going to get corporate nonsense, but volunteer nonsense instead.

Yeah. The last time that I was in Mexico, they were very glowing of AMLO’s presidency.

If Ukraine can get invaded by countries for a strategic interest, then neutrality isn’t a viable option for defense for Ukraine. You could even argue that Finlandization isn’t even a viable option any more for Ukraine since given that accepting being in Russia’s sphere of influence doesn’t provide some diminished form of territorial sovereignty.

And Russia may feel threatened by Western encroachment into areas controlled by the former Soviet Union, but those peoples no longer under Soviet/Russian control appear to taking major steps as sovereign entities to resist Russian reestablishment of its former sphere of influence. If anything, increased Russian belligerence has caused formerly neutral countries to reject neutrality as neutrality no longer protects countries from being invaded due to strategic interest.

If neutrality would have worked, Ukraine would still have the Crimean peninsula.

So does Ukraine.

I feel like part of it was that the console revisions past 2008 aren’t as big of a deal as they were before. You also had publishers start producing games for multiple generations of consoles at the same time.

And on the flip side, I wouldn’t be surprised if software still gets updated as Valve keeps its minimum requirements as low as possible. As long as the drivers work, there isn’t a reason for different editions of the Steam Deck to run different versions.

They’ll just move the office to Austin.

We have millenia of experience of people being idiots by being horny. This is just the first time we’ve seen a mass deployment of personalized horny generators.
