Oh, ah, geez Ben, I don’t really like this. I think we might be in real trouble this time…

Pull your head out of your ass, Donny! Just shut up and do what I say or I’ll make your life a living hell!

do you think lemmy will ever have millions of users

It’s not infeasible. It won’t likely happen tomorrow, and to manage it will take massive server resources or many more instances, but as disillusionment grows with corporate social media I hope to see more people here eventually.

and niche topics or subs like reddit?

There’s plenty of niche communities already across the fediverse, and I’m sure they’d love whatever you’d like to contribute to them.

or even be a top result when you search google? like reddit posts

Possibly, but probably not. The incentive structure for something like Google is built around profit, and the fediverse isn’t really built to profit, mostly just financially tread water at best.

If enough people join then Google would be shooting themselves in the foot financially to not return lemmy in its searches if for nothing else than its own relevance, but as a general rule they’ll follow the craven flow of capital every time.

US went into a wartime economy with World War I and never stopped.

For the US establishment, the problem is that the wartime arsenal essentially stopped being updated in the Cold War.

For the rest of the world, this is a relief.

So you’re just gonna sleep until the US collapses? 😤

The problem is always techbros. Large Language Models, Deep Learning, these kinds of things are potentially valuable when put to work in the right arena.

A techbro will never put them in the right arena. It’s always a false promise built on flimsy reputational credit.

Underrated comment (the article is also already in English).

Marky Z is watching you pee and calling it “streaming.”

He then went on to be a Reservoir Dog, but was killed by a cop. Rest in power Mr Brown.

I’m unarrestable?

Thank you! 🥰

I think that’s the only way for this to go in some cases. I’m fairly certain this war marks the end of US hegemony, as there’s no way the US can address all this and its domestic issues simultaneously, and I suspect those domestic issues are rapidly ramping up due to the economic strain caused by the war.

That’s a shame. I wish there were options for semi-blocking (seeing comment exists but auto-spoilering it or something) and hiding comments and such, things that would let people address people/comments at their pace without blanket blocks. Trying to build a custom frontend in my free time but it’s tricky and free time isn’t always easy to come by.

Europe has millitary bases in the area,

Hopefully not for much longer

All good, I probably should have said China is ‘a’ source of missiles and drones for Iran, but doing that now would render this whole thread redundant and people have to see what real leftist infighting looks like 😜

Oh I’m sure, but I thought they were buying from China too.

Indeed, isn’t China the source of Iran’s missiles and drones? So I’m pretty sure they’re helping how they can without getting directly involved.
