Additionally, the FBI is exploring the possibility that these flying objects might be linked to extraterrestrial beings, with some theorists suggesting that the intention could be to manipulate or disrupt global electronic systems.

You wouldn't download a car.
In the first Witcher game, you fight a god from the Cthulu mythos (Dagon) on like a side quest, and he's not even that tough.
- Sick of feminist and LGBTQ ideology being pushed.
- Can't really articulate what that is and what it means, or be specific about what they don't like about it.
Sadly, this tracks, this is this entire block of white men pretty much (and is identical to people who complain about "woke" and "critical race theory"). It's a result of flooding the zone with shit (google that if you don't know what it means) and if anything, it usefully tells us who's vulnerable to that (a tragically large number of people).
80 yr old energy is its own thing and it can be glorious.
A buddy of mine has a story about how his great grandma told him "When you're old, you can do whatever you want," and then tripped his shitty, obnoxious cousin who'd been bullying him and picking on him all day and said "Stop being mean to your cousin dear."
When the cousin's mom came to see why he was freaking out, he said "Grandmom tripped me!" And his mom said, "Oh honey, you know Grandmom doesn't see very well..."
Dun dun dun dun dun dundundun dundundun.
Ah yes Jean Luc "the Hero of Canton" Skywalker. My very favorite member of Commander Shepherd's squad.
The same FBI that keeps telling Congress end to end encryption needs to have legally mandated back doors in it?
I love the Lemmy UI.
But I'm a gen Xer.
There's some great analysis floating around of how different generations actually interpret UIs (and make decisions about how or whether to engage with them) very differently. So there is no "one size fits all" that will make everybody happy. Change the Lemmy UI to something like Photon and I'd be like... "this is dumb." Making a bunch of very different options is a lot of work. If you want to do it... no one is stopping you. The Lemmy project is opensource and you could go start contributing and making pull requests today. You could go run your own instance and make it look like whatever you want and get the average redditors to join that. I run my own instance. We have a whole two users. It works exactly the way I want it to and federates with exactly who I want it to.
Frankly, I'm not sure Lemmy needs to go out of it's way to appeal to the average redditor in order to have a thriving, healthy community. Sure, there are some things I miss about having a giant user base to engage with, but honestly, I'll trade them for the MUCH MUCH lower toxicity. I don't know that "growing Lemmy" should be our focus. It's not like we're getting paid.
