I don't understand why you're taking this so seriously. You said yourself it's insignificant.

So if that's the case why not let it go? Is getting the last word important to you even though the discussion isn't?

Lemmy uses pretty standard markdown, so this works in lots of forums besides lemmy.

Yeah, there's a simple code for it, you just have to type "Luigi spez" and they'll handle this for you.

As you wish.

I came here looking for it, so I may as well follow through on the prompt.

So you have no point and should be ignored. Thanks for confirming that.

This is a valid rebuttal, as I was talking completely literally. I apologise, I thought they were a civil engineering and construction firm.

Yes, they are unreliable. The fact that this is typical of software companies doesn't excuse the behaviour or make it a sound business strategy.

You're not actually arguing with what's being said, you're just normalising it.

"This river doesn't need a bridge because almost nobody ever crosses it."

Also is there a reason they can't just distribute proton? It's open under BSD, so they'd be free to do it.

Reddit doesn't have the internet infrastructure FB has where they were able to monopolise the internet of whole countries in certain parts of the world.

And the wider they cast this dragnet the more users will be caught up in it, the more will slowly leave, the less content will be created, the worse the platform will get.

I think for the future of reddit you only need to look at digg.

Because evil is loud and self-important, and people doing good have learned to be mycelial, underground, quietly building the new world in the shell of the old.

Right but the specific issue with the Pinto was that it would explode into flames on a rear impact, so this is the appropriate metric.

Like deaths from other accidents would skew the numbers anyway because 70s cars were death traps compared to today, but even in that context, the Pinto's explosions were alarming.

Beating it on that isolated metric is a very special kind of achievement.

That is very true, and I think some kind of archive is going to be important eventually. I think to get around the hosting costs, one method could be for peertube instances to form a union of instances for collective purchases, because the cost goes down with scale.

With a large enough group you could even split hosting among different providers to prevent a monopoly from forming in the hosting space.
