A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

They made the RTX version, so now I can see it in 4k, thank you developers!

But when the open source app becomes the best one, it becomes impossible to beat it. Look VLC for example.

Because you are the product, not the software that you use.

I think a lot of paid commercial software is significantly better than FLOSS

That sounds like exploitation of free labor with extra steps and a vegan coat.

All-Star team

You've never worked on software in a big company have you?

Repost, but the post is good enough so I don't care

OK who changed the wojak into a beautiful woman?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was on Lemmy World's All[0] less than 10 days ago.

That art style is pretty off-putting tbh.

The naked woman is kinda odd too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

She might be wearing a tube top. Need a wider angle to be sure.

wojak is a beautiful woman

It's not, though. It's a big reason why I'm here, in fact. Boost for Android is awesome!

Oh that's a good point, I don't know (or care) if Boost is open source. I was more referring to Lemmy.

And it's actually not slightly worse but better in every way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Well, for one Lemmy has zero respect for privacy. You can't even delete a comment. A comment is eternal. At least you can do that on reddit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

At least you can do that on reddit.

You literally can't. People have deleted their whole comment histories and have them restored by reddit admins.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Virtually anything you post on the internet is eternal. A better example would be your upvotes as they are also synchronized according to instance admins - something many people do not expect.

  1. You can delete and edit comments on lemmy. But that doesn't mean all severs or users will honour that request. Same is true for reddit, hence why it is possible to see deleted reddit comments on 3rd party websites. (And deleted tweets, etc. on other sites.)
  2. People post on lemmy for the purpose of sharing thoughts and ideas with the world. If your stuff is private: don't post it! This is true for all social media. Also note, lemmy doesn't ask for your phone number or other unrelated personal information.

I made an account here without an email address (I done that on reddit too but you can't anymore)

I can use various websites to view deleted reddit comments

I would never consider anything that I have let leave my device as "deleted" anyway

If you expect privacy on social media you should take an iq test

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Interesting. I didn't know that about deleting comments. The web client on my instance has a delete button, but is there some kind of issue with that change not necessarily propagating to other instances?

It doesn't bother me much personally since you never really can be sure that you deleted something from the internet. Even if reddit deletes a comment, you can possibly find it on an archive somewhere. Anything you toss onto the web should be something you're comfortable with the world knowing.

Honestly, I have more free and open source apps and programs on my PC and phone than not because the exact opposite of this meme has been my experience.
