My parents had a new printer installed by a "professional" but it wouldn't show on the network. I tried everything, reinstalling drivers, unplugging and plugging cables again...
After hours of nothing working, i got desperate and just flipped through the menu of the printer on this small LCD display. There is a DHCP setting. The DHCP is set to a fixed address. The router every now and then reboots and gives new dynamic addresses. The printer refused its dynamic address all this time.
This isn’t a destroy a corporation thing, it’s a make Lemmy win over Reddit thing.
I don't think we will get any further here. If you cannot see why Lemmy should be more than just "win over Reddit" i dont think anything will convince you. The problems of enshittification are hitting all aspects of the Internet and companies like Google and Microsoft are a major part of it and undoubtedly more problematic than reddit.
Again as i said, we should not focus on destroying corporations or any other external negative thing, but instead on building a positive version of the internet, so focus on a positive internal goal. Cooperating with the organizations who fundamentally oppose this vision of the internet is not going to help that.
Duckduckgo uses Bing for its index, so we run into the same problem with Microsoft.
Think about the steps involved. First Lemmy servers make all data available to these companies. Now these companies can exploit this data fully. But the next step, it leading to lemmy results being featured on their website is no guarantee. They can just keep it low.
And i dont care about Lemmy being larger than reddit. It is not just about reddit. It is about fundamentally creating a space thriving for a positove vision of how the internet should be. Handing influence to Google and Microsoft is fundamentally opposed to that.
Finally, reddit is destroying itself. Why should we compromise ourselves, when we can just watch reddit burning itself down, while more and more people join us?
I'd rather have a stable growth and these resources being accessible to the community, than to have google make money off of it, who is actively engaged in destroying open spaces and enshittify them.
Google doesnt care for traffic to Lemmy. Google cares for making money off the data they can grab. Not giving them the data directly is the only way to oppose them.
Your idea is to finance the war by selling weapons to your enemy, to use this metaphor of yours.
Because growth through opening up for capital interests is going to end badly. See Internet since 20 years
Isnt it also a basic issue of temperature ranges?
First of all, the comfy range for humans is small and it is not even. E.g. most people will find around body temperature of 37°C nice. But 5 °C above that is burning hot, while 32°C is more lukewarm, than cold.
Then the cold water temp is probably between 10 °C and 15°C depending how long it stood. Same of the hot water temperature, where the first bit in the pipe is more like 20°C and then the boiler comes pushing 60°C in.
So the temperature range that gets mixed changes drastically in the beginning and small changes can make for a large difference in the "center" of the mixing, which is also where the comfy temperatures are.
Rovers as opposed to humans. Humans need food, a pressurized, temperated air environment, a discharge for their excrements, a higher level of safety and return mechanisms, much stronger radiation protection...
So a big event without any practical relevance because there is more cheaper, reliable and safer alternatives available?
Turns out regulations are good for businesses.
Assuming someone to develop a sufficient consciousness of their time starting with age 10 that would mean anything before 2010.
In all practical matter, people who are 25 now, cannot have any practical recollection of the US invasion of Iraq and are only having broad ideas of the 2007 financial crisis.
That is indeed scary.
