You can’t polish a turd; you can roll it in glitter.
If you think your opinions don’t matter, that the world in front of you is too great of a mountain to move, that you are struggling against a mighty machine too powerful and too organized for you to stand against, keep this in mind - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

Oddly enough, I have the same neglected side project for the same reasons! I’m at work at the moment but will post what I have so far later. I’ll also walk through my aporoach to be noob friendly and cost effective.
What are the root causes of that deflation though? I would posit the over extension of the Chinese economy in an effort to mimic “Number go up” results without the required fundamentals (see evergrande).
I see “inflation is good” parroted a lot, without much analysis as to why. I understand how continual inflation is a major driver of modern western economies, and those steering those economies require it to support current polocies and the general status quo. However, that being said, I fail to see how that makes it required for things to be “OK”.
The price of a raspberry “inflates” in the winter, and “deflates” when in season. The price of commodity consumer electronics is in a continual state of deflation, as new teohnology emerges. At the microcosm prices move in both directions frequently, and are just deemed adjustments. Why then, at the macro scale is a continual increase in pricing considered a sign of economic health?
When’s the last time the US saw significant deflation? The 30’s? Can’t say I blame them for their fear. But they’ll see no sympathy from me! We’ve seen two whole generations born, raised, and passing away in the age of “Number always go up!” business. At least the greatest generation grew up hearing stories of difficult times when it was the unions and collectives that brought them through the darkness. I’m sure current business leadership has no clue how to face this. It’s passed out of living memory.
I’m more worried about innocent bystanders tbh…
Oh! Almost forgot, most of the instances are getting hammered and are all volunteer run, so big helpings of kindness and patience are helpful, and if you’re able doing the whole “Toss a coin to your Witcher” thing will help keep the lights on. I’m trying to think of a commercial website or service that has undergone this level of growth without just completely falling over, and I’m coming up blank. I blame FOSS. 😉
Absolutely! The vibe is more chill. There’s not the content churn there was on Reddit, but when I examined my consumption habits on Reddit I realized most of the churn was just reposts anyway. Lemmey is all the meat, and none of the fat.
It’s been wonderful to find a home here! Hoping for many more cake days for all of us here in this friendly little corner of our beloved blue marble!
