This feels tantalizingly close to the truth.

What the fuck are “unregretted user minutes”? I regret every minute any user spends on that site, so it should be zero.

The future is dangerous. Keep going this way so you don’t have to see it.

and i figured you’d read what i actually wrote instead of arguing with someone who didn’t exist

Yes, I know all that. The argument I was replying to was that you run out of trees if you use them to make paper without recycling. That argument is false. You’re arguing with points I didn’t make.

No, this isn’t solved by having a whole forest available when you scale up the consumer side too.

You’re seriously underestimating how many trees there are. The only reason we’re losing forest is because of grazing land. That’s clearcutting, where you remove the tree and just destroy it or just burn the whole forest. As a vegetarian I’m obviously not here to defend grazing land, but if you look only at wood and paper production, we absolutely can replace the trees we use with enough time for them to regrow completely.

Doing so devastates ecosystems by turning them into monocultures, but you’re only talking about the replacement rate of trees. We don’t have to worry about the replacement rate of trees, we have to worry about greed for land and environmental impact.

Ideas for the new logo? I think he should go with a black-red motif, with lots of right angles.

Ah, 25 million per child? Finally a fine big enough to make a tech company feel conseque–

[Touches earpiece] one moment, I’m getting an update–

damn, zing

Bro I wasn’t looking for a technical explanation. I know how they work. We made computers worse. The thing isn’t even smart enough to say “I wasn’t designed to do math problems, perhaps we should focus on something where I can make up a bunch of research papers out of thin air?”

Why is “98%” supposed to sound good? We made a computer that can’t do math good

These are no longer magic math rocks. These are now science math rocks.

This doesn’t really make sense. Try it the other way: “It’s a shame we don’t sleep 23 hours a day, then we’d only have to work for a few minutes.”

That’s pretty cool.

I’m truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.

We’re doing great though! Good trajectory.

Bold of you to assume managers are held accountable for management decisions
