<p>I could see myself paying for a service like X, so that the service quality would be higher due to all the participants putting some money in. And that would be a nice way to keep bots out of the network.<p>Bluesky is a leftist echo chamber, which is irritating in its own way.</p>

<p>>eg. there are no significant numbers of people "dreaming of the lost socialist utopia of USSR"<p>You seem to be in the happy group of people who have never visited the Lemmy main site. Although you may be right about "significant numbers" even if that site seems to be full of them. They might literally all be there.</p>

<p>Funny how well these fit into the terminally online far leftist framing too.<p>1. Mythic past and rebirth: dreaming of the lost socialist utopia of USSR etc. which was taken from us all by force and deception.<p>2. Victimhood and humiliation: working class is the victim of a rigged system, exploited by capital elite.<p>3. Hierarchy and dehumanization: world is split into oppressors (landlords, rich people, etc) and oppressed (workers).<p>4. Contempt for weakness: "liberals" let this happen due to their limp-wristedness.<p>5. Cult of action: revolts, strikes, protests, even violence against oppressors.<p>6. The leader as savior: Mamdani, Sanders, AOC? This admittedly doesn't quite work in the same way as in fascism.<p>7. Purification of institutions: Universities, media, and governments must be purged of "reactionaries" or "liberals" who resist the revolution.<p>8. Propaganda and assault on truth: dissent is violently suppressed. Various kinds of Big Lies (e.g. "the genocide") are spread as absolute truths and are repeated at every possible point.<p>9. Merger of state and corporate power: seizing both the corporations and state for the proletariat.<p>10. Violence and terror: glorifying murderers when they murder those "who deserve it".</p>

<p>Also Trump 2 proves without a doubt that at least half of the american voters are absolutely insane or incredibly stupid. For 1 there used to be some doubt.<p>We in Europe are enjoying roughly 15-20% insane/stupid ratings at this point, which is not great but still a bit better.</p>

<p>Some. Many companies have relied in the past on the fact that doing things is freaking complicated. Such as maintaining your own services instead of using something from a provider like AWS.<p>What used to be a half year transition project that will be half-assed due to resource constraints, can now be properly done in a month by a skilled engineering team works on it with LLM leverage.<p>Of course, if America was still a trusted ally (like if Harris was president), we still wouldn't be doing it. Even if it was easy now.</p>

<p>If I ever have a networking problem in a personal Linux system, it gets solved by removing the weird networking thing that the distro decided to use and move to full systemd-resolved / networkd. In my experience, that works every time.<p>I'm not doubting commenter's expertise. It's entirely possible that resolved and networkd are utter horror inside but still work from at least this user's POV.</p>
