Not before revolution. As long as capitalists are still in charge, renewable energy is still used as a commodity and sold to us proles as expensive as before the transition, and with added cost even for the “transition costs”, I say this from experience where I live.

But of course, after revolution renewable energy is the only way to go, not only to save the planet and ourselves, but also because it eliminates a massive need of labor and resources that would be required to sustain an oil / mineral powered economy.

today I was tasked with breaking rocks with a pickaxe with my feet chained, but you can be damn sure I looked professional and really upstanding while doing it, that’s gonna show em

but instead you’re coming to Lemmy to the echo chamber of hate on proton which won’t help

You call it an echo chamber, others call it having some standards on how much your software should be taking advantage of you instead of the other way around.

Unlike the human brain which is known for always returning 502 Bad Gateway

I believe something as simple as moderated user registration along with their automated filtering goes a long way to combat this. The automated filtering can help remove the spam by recognizing forms filled with random bullshit, or detect input that has been copy pasted multiple times from other registrations, and a human moderator can then have a more manageable amount of registrations to go through and manually accept.

This as well as the email confirmation after the acceptance should already be a big obstacle for massive bot farms. It’s still very much possible for all those agencies that do it professionally and massively with state funding, but at least it would be much more time consuming and expensive for them to do so.

As great as the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular are, I’d honestly prefer if this place kept being niche. Not that I don’t want more people to enjoy online freedom away from corporate owned social media, but I fear that a surge of people migrating to Lemmy would cause the capitalists to turn their gaze over here and find ways to attack it or hijack it. The Fediverse does have its own defenses against these practices, it being completely open source and decentralized being the most important one, but it still wouldn’t be a good thing to have their attention and consent manufacturing bot farms etc. entering here for example

Same, and even if I wanted to install a dishwasher for my rented place, there’s no water supply to connect it to so it would take some very serious work to be done

Yeah it’s still toxic lol

The item issue for new players has mostly been solved nowadays with recommended builds, you can’t go THAT wrong using them exclusively for lower tiers
