The Benefits of World Hunger
The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol
Marion Stokes created a massive archive of television news that would serve as a historical record for future generations.
Starting in 1979 and continuing for 33 years, she meticulously recorded television broadcasts around the clock, amassing a staggering collection of 70,000 VHS tapes containing over 400,000 hours of footage.
Stokes' motivation stemmed from a deep distrust of mainstream media and a belief in the importance of preserving unfiltered information. She lived through a time of significant social and political change, and she recognized that television news played a powerful role in shaping public opinion. By capturing this footage, she sought to create a resource that would allow people to critically examine how events were portrayed and to form their own conclusions.
Stokes' archive is remarkable for its comprehensiveness. She recorded not only major news events but also everyday programming, capturing the cultural and social trends of the time. This makes her collection an invaluable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the evolution of television and its impact on society.
After her death in 2012, Stokes' collection was donated to the Internet Archive, which is currently working to digitize the tapes and make them available online. This massive undertaking will ensure that Stokes' legacy of preserving history is accessible to all.

[Solved] Bazzite removed control over my drives
I don't know when this happened. There was a system update a few days ago which went fine. Two days ago I wanted to download something onto one of my HDDs and got an I/O error. After investigating I found out that I no longer am the owner of any of my drives and can't create/delete any files.
Chmod/chown didn't help.
Editing the fstab file didn't help since it had the exact same contens as when everything worked. Shuffeling exec,rw around has no effect.
Mounting/unmounting didn't do anything.
Phisically removing the drives also didn't work.
Adding a completely new drive automatically set it to restricted.
How the hell does soemthing like this happen? I don't want to do a system wipe.
Edit: Windows is to blame
It appears Windows did something to the drives the last time I used it which messed up the partitin tables and prevented Linux from mounting them correctly. After poking around in the journalctl like suggested I found an entry with the error message. Googling brought me to an arch forum post with the same problem. All that had to be done was to go back into Windows and run shutdown /s /f /t 0 in cmd/powershell.
Link to the post: bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.ph…
Tnx everyone for the assistance!

Backup your fstab, then edit it to mount the drives to a subdirectory of your home.
Maybe that'll get you back access.
I am not familiar with I/O stuff, but I didn't see you mention if you tried doing an rpm-ostree rollback.
Since you said it happened after an update, did you already try that to see if it fixes your issue? Another thing to look at is topgrade. It's the underlying tool for Bazzite upgrades, so perhaps that can give you some clues as to what went wrong.
ETA: Have you tried asking in their discord? The community and devs are really nice and generally pretty helpful.
Can you read/write to the disks as root? If so, then something has likely gone sideways with your fstab entry. For example, the device name, order, or UID/GID may have changed, depending on how you've configured the entry.
It's difficult to assist much more without seeing the contents of /etc/fstab.
- Check for anything strange in the BIOS related to disks (fwupdmgr can automatically install BIOS updates from a live Linux session. I don't know if Bazzite does this)
- Try using a different SATA port
- Run some SMART tests on your drives
I'll check the BIOS stuff tonight.
As for the sata port, the new drive was connected to a different one so it can't be it. I did a drive health check and all seemed well and good.
I think bazzite uses systemd.
You can use journalctl to see the logs and find out what happened. They’re pretty straightforward to understand.
E: journalctl, not systemctl.

Israel steps up Lebanon bombing as Hezbollah attacks Haifa
Israel has expanded attacks on southern Lebanon and pounded the capital Beirut’s southern suburbs as the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has claimed a series of missile attacks on northern Israel, including near the city of Haifa.
A Lebanese security source said an Israeli strike on Monday hit the al-Kokoudi area, a few kilometres from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport and close to Hezbollah’s stronghold in the suburb of Dahiyeh, which has been repeatedly targeted over the past few weeks.
The attack came after the southern suburbs were hit by more than 30 strikes overnight, the heaviest bombardment since September 23, the day Israel began a significant escalation in its assault on Lebanon, the NNA said.
The targets included a petrol station on the main highway leading to the Beirut airport and a warehouse for medical supplies, the agency said.
Ukraine says it hit oil terminal in Russian-occupied Crimea
Ukraine’s military has said it struck a major oil terminal in occupied Crimea that provides fuel for Russia’s war effort as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the war has entered a key phase.
“At night, a successful strike was carried out on the enemy’s offshore oil terminal in temporarily occupied Feodosia, Crimea,” the Ukrainian military said in a post on social media on Monday.
Both Moscow and Kyiv are facing the issue of how to sustain their costly war of attrition – a war that started with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 – that shows no signs of a resolution.

Fediverse enshittification
cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/24088740
Do you think Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse will eventually enshittify? I think this would be an interesting discussion to have. There currently is not financial incentive like the ones that have led centralized platforms to enshittify. But there might be in the future. Does decentralization protect against that tendency in some way?Lemmy and Mastodon do give me the hope, that when one platform turns to shit, there will be people creating a platform that - for the time being - is not.
In my opinion, enshittification occurs when, among other things, the user experience is "ruined" in order to generate profits by offering "improvements" that are nothing more than going back to previous states of the platform, only now paying or paying more.
While it could happen that some parts of the Fediverse could become Shitty, it seems impossible to me that it would happen in the whole fediverse. There's always the option of blocking problematic instances and such. And anyway, users who enter the fediverse do so mostly fleeing from enshittification, so, I think, we are less willing to put up with that kind of bullshit and will leave sooner rather than later, maybe creating something new (and better, if possible).
Yes. It already started with bots to get people on their shitty websites.
They claim to be useful to the site but all it is is free advertising.
For example:
Food AI Helper:
"I see you used the term 'platform' in your post! Here are links to platform cakes! You're Welcome!"
I should've noted the Food Helper thing doesn't exist. My bad attempt for a joke. Sorry.
A real exampls is the Media Bias Bot.
Have you considered moving to similar communities without the bot?
I know I usually recommend !globalnews@lemmy.zip compared to the LW world news
And there is another, more subtle problem: protocol bloat. Fediverse services are getting more and more complicated, and the cost of creating a new platform is constantly increasing. If this problem is not addressed, at some point Fediverse will start looking like a web browser market, where new players can't compete due to an immense implementation complexity.

Ironically Mastodon.social is still federated
But I guess if Threads fully federates with some Mastodon instances, people would leave those instances
Maybe, but threads userbase would swallow mastodons whole, that you wouldn't notice. Facebook has something like 58 million people. Mastodon I think has 12 million people, including the recent brazil exodus.
So if that happened, even if every mastodon user were on that one instance, you'd still have a potential growth of 46 million new users.
I've never had facebook because I don't trust them with privacy. I've never had an account, but they still have my name, my phone number, my address, and I wouldn't be surprised if they can identify my face with AI.
I'm NOT signing up for them, and I feel like I'm not alone on that.
But as far as content goes, I'm a niche person. Most of my interests don't have communities on Lemmy. But they might......if you infused 58 million new users to the mix.
I'm not sure that millions of Facebook users are interested in Super Famicom Wars and G-scale trains
To be fair, if you really want to post about those in dedicated communities, Reddit is probably your best choice.
Do any of the bots that repost subreddits in Lemmy reverse and post Lemmy communities to reddit?
I’m sure Reddit would ban it if it noticed, but might be a way to attract users here for niche communities.
But they might…if you infused 58 million new users to the mix.
It's far, far more likely they'll be interested in eugenicism, UN conspiranoia and the divine right of Israel, given the platform they're "branching" from.
I think it's inevitable that enshitification will happen. In fact, we haven't risen above the shit stage yet.
You're talking about going downhill, whereas I don't think it's gone uphill yet. There's so few users, that I run through content in about 30ish minutes.
Whereas for as much shit as you'll talk about reddit, they have infinately more content. I cannot remember EVER running out of content when I was on reddit.
Last night I wanted to talk to people who enjoy the advance wars series. I started playing super famicom wars. And I wanted to post about it. Until I realized this isn't reddit. There is no community for that here. It's too niche, and theres no users to support that community. Even if I created it, it would just be 1 community, with like 1 post by me, and 5 subscribers.
Until this place gains millions of users, you can't talk about enshitification, because we're already there.
Unless you come here exclusively to talk about linux. In which case, yeah. Good luck with your platform that is currently 30+ years old, and enjoying an all time high userbase of less than 5% despite windows being a dumpster fire, and macs costing more than a house in an economy where everybody lives paycheck to paycheck and will for the rest of their life. They'd rather deal with apple or microsoft than linux, simply because of what linux is.
If thats what you're here for, than sure. For everybody else, this place feels like it's continually LOSING users.
There is no community for that here
If you open a advance wars or super Famicom wars thread on !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works and !retrogaming@lemmy.world I'm pretty sure you'll get a lot of answers.
Everytime I post on !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works I get dozens of answers
Also
- !gardening@lemmy.world
- !inktober@sh.itjust.works
- !foodporn@lemmy.world
- !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz
- !newcommunities@lemmy.world
There's more than Linux
That is such a disorganized way to do things. Retrogaming is about retro gaming as a whole, not individual games. I'm sure there may be a few people who enjoy it, but a dedicated community would be where you should be wanting to post.
Besides, I didn't have questions. I just started playing Super Famicom Wars, and wanted to talk about it. See if others have played the fan translation I am. I get super excited about topics, and I want to share.....but this wouldn't be the place for that.
And this happens usually once or twice a day. I want to post about (topic) but (topic) doesn't have a community people would search to find that kind of content.
Last week it was G-Scale trains. I see a general model train community, but it's mostly dead. And certainly they wouldn't want to discuss G-Scale.
Last week I had to post in retrogaming, because the retropie community hasn't had a post in 8 months.
The fediverse needs people, and content to grow. I feel like it's even slightly shrinking.
but this wouldn’t be the place for that.
Why not? I wanted to post about city builders the other day, I got 52 answers: lemmy.world/post/15279489
Someone else posted about Chrono Cross and got 19 answers: lemmy.world/post/20244935?scro…
For the trains, !bricktrains@lemmy.world seems quite active, and I'm sure @Krafting@lemmy.world could consider enlarging the scope to other model trains
Last week I had to post in retrogaming, because the retropie community hasn’t had a post in 8 months.
Is that a bad thing? With 50k monthly active users, there is a limit on how niche your communities can be, it makes sense to got to more general communities sometimes. On the other side, your posts are more likely to be seen.
It's part of the reason you don't see the lemmy.world instance in the lemmy server browser.
On join-lemmy.org you mean? I didn't know that, but that's great to see. Lemmy.world has become pretty big.
Who would enshitiffy it, and how?

Federated platforms don't die to corporate-type enshittification. They die to spam or elitism.
If operators fail to collaborate on keeping spam down, the platform becomes unusable or greatly-diminished due to spam. See Usenet for example — yes, it's still around, but it's greatly diminished from the 1990s. New projects and organizations don't tell participants to subscribe to a Usenet newsgroup for discussion. (Curiously, email mailing-lists have outlived Usenet in this way, at least for technical projects. While email is federated, any given mailing-list is centralized.)
If the technology isn't developed with an eye to new users' needs and new use cases, because it's "good enough" for the existing established users, the platform becomes dated and gets replaced by something trendy and corporate. This is IRC vs. Discord and Slack. IRC has a higher barrier to entry and infamously doesn't work well on mobile — but it's good enough for the old farts who care about it, while the young farts move to Discord instead.

I like how old farts are just old farts because they're old. Young people are still farts too. They're just young farts, and will eventually be old farts. And the old farts of today, will eventually be dead farts.
We're all just farts. All in a fart vacume.
Just farting our way through life.
I'd say that it's possible but extremely unlikely. Acc. to Doctorow enshittification requires three things:
- "Consolidation" - i.e. the corporation gets too big and powerful
- "Unrestricted twiddling for them" - i.e. using power to prevent being legislated on.
- "Total ban on twiddling for us" - i.e. enforcing the legislation to prevent competition.
The Fediverse is designed in a way that it's more resistant to #2, as inter-operability decreases the cost of switch for users - if you see an entity (person, corporation, group, whatever) twiddling too much it's relatively painless to pack your things and leave.
However, I believe that if an instance consolidated so much power in #1 that it's enable to enforce an "it's me or them" on the users, even the Fediverse could be enshittified. And by "so much power" I don't mean something like Lemmy World, I mean a couple orders of magnitude bigger than the rest.
It won't enshittify in the strict Doctorow sense. But it will become shittier as more people who are currently plaguing Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and making those platforms terrible discover the Fediverse and come splatter their cowpats here. That's almost inevitable: it's happened to just about anything that ever became popular.
Incidentally, that's also a big part of the reason why it's supremely important to boycott Threads and not let it federate: the Fediverse needs to grow, but it doesn't need to grow with an influx of low-quality Facebook users.

How to prevent those people from joining? I don’t think you can.
On the other hand, Reddit communities never got that terrible, right? Not all of them at least - it’s more that the platform turned to shit. Lemmy prevents that from happening. The concept of communities moderating themselves seems to work pretty well.

This pretty much. For as much as people are concerned that the "lack of UX" or the "discoverability" problems keeps people out, the important thing is it keeps normies out.
As I've seen before on some posts on the Fediverse discussing proprietary platforms, we all already know this. We saw FB went to shit as soon as it started allowing uneducated users.
Do you choose your friends and the folks you hang out with? Of course you do. Why should it be any different in the communities you patronize?
I came here because I was tired of suffering the morons on traditional social media platforms. The Fediverse is not perfect - nothing ever is - and it has its fair share of undesirables too, but it's much better, and I'm not looking forward to the morons following me here and making things worse. They belong to Facebook and the likes, and they should stay there.
Probably not the same kind of « enshitification », but I think the fediverse creates small communities, and sometimes, it’s difficult / impossible to find non-aggressive communities for some subjects.
It’s not really solving the issues caused by the users themselves, especially when communities are not big enough to justify big moderation teams, and those people have no incentive at all to be « kind » (it’s hit or miss I would say). Instead of 1 big community with good moderation, you can end up with many small communities with little or bad moderation.
I have no solution to propose, it’s probably inherent to the fediverse.

Not so serious subjects (I prefer to relax while being on the fediverse :) ). Anything related to Facebook / Apple / Nintendo / Disney is almost always filled with comments full of hate. It is much easier to find good communities for that on Discord for example.
See, in the past, I used a lot Twitter to keep up with news about my interests. It was easy to filter out bad users by banning them, and following more « positive » people. I left when it became « X » because I had less interactions and much more ads (probably a consequence of letting users pay to gain visibility). I hoped the fediverse would replace it.
In a sense it worked, because I get a lot of news. But now, I am worried to read the comments or even comment myself because people are most of the time not kind at all. More specific communities have not this issue, but the fediverse is so small that you are forced to be part of more general communities and face the general harsh talk of most people.

Interesting, I didn't know Nintendo was so much hated here. I guess their very agressive business model doesn't work in their favour.
Is it the same on more generic video games communities?
I think it’s even more common among more general communities. But even niche communities like retrogaming can be like that.
Just to give a concrete example, I have seen a post about a pretty cool mod on Zelda ocarina of time where they integrated Pikmin, it has 50+ ups, and a single comment saying they can’t wait for Nintendo to shut it down. What’s the point ? And I see this more and more. It’s not the minority but the majority of the replies I see on such posts. It’s not healthy at all.

Based on Nintendo's past with mods, it seems reasonable to imagine they'll do it.
I post a lot on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, I know that if it's a Star Wars show people are going to be critical of the way the license is managed, and thé subpar quality of the recent productions.
Thankfully there are other shows that are good, but I can get the criticism against such companies. Disney recently had the backlash with the allergic person they tried to use a Disney+ contract clause against, this kind of moves can hit your image
I do not disagree about the fact that people are free to say what they want. It’s just that, as a user appreciating Nintendo, I am facing very negative comments on most (if not all) subjects even when Nintendo is not doing anything (like my example above about a romhack). For some people, it seems like it’s not about expressing your opinion about the subject, but your opinion about Nintendo on any subject merely mentioning Nintendo.
And it’s like that for many companies (Nintendo is just one example). As a consequence, I do not participate at all (I am just reading the news, trying to avoid the comment section). It’s not very healthy, and I hardly believe people discovering the fediverse will stay long if most messages they see are hating comments about what they like.
Not until they are eclipsed by proprietary ActivityPub apps. Threads and Flipboard already exist.
However, there is no AP but proprietary rival to e.g. Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed (edit: there will be?) or PeerTube.

Why not both?
We have topics here, voting is private, image communities can be tiled, there are some differences in rep counting, etc.
That's pretty much why I made my own instance: nobody can take it away from me. I can ban whichever instance I deem hostile or don't want content from. Nobody's taking away my API anymore or shoving ads in my face.
Nobody can pull a Reddit or Twitter on the fediverse, there will always be alternative instances to use putting pressure on the big ones to not drive away people.

I've only been on this platform for a little less than a year, but my guess is it will be brought down by petty infighting, not financial incentives. World and a few other instances have already decided to defederate from hexbear, and there's enough tension between World and ml that defederation seems like a real possibility. While the goal may be a decentralized platform, the largest communities are on these two instances, and it they break apart their might not be enough content to keep new users' interest.
Even if Lemmy gets past the infighting between the liberal Reddit refugees of World and the, "old Lemmy,"" communists of ml, users seem to tie their identity very heavily towards their instance. I'm worried that in the long term, that will drive people away from committing to cross-instance communities; even now, I hear people brag about how they've blocked entire instances because they're full of, "centrists," or, "tankies." I think the downside of federation is that it leads to tribalism, and enough of it could kill the momentum Lemmy needs to grow.
I don't mean to sound down on Lemmy; it's the most interesting platform I've seen in years, and I'm curious to see how it develops. But at this point, I've abandoned Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and MySpace; I've learned that social media accounts are not permanent parts of your life. I'm having a lot of fun with Lemmy, but I don't expect to be using it in 5 years.
Then abandon the platform as doomed.
Those are your options. Open one or more accounts on one or more existing instances as an ordinary user, run your own single-user instance to federate and defederate from who you want to, or GTFO.
I've seen people grousing about this topic since I've been here "uuh uuh what if too many defederations because tankies? uuh uuh..."
This happens on or to other platforms already. Either you get the "r/popularthing" vs "r/actualpopularthing" dichotomies where if you vote red you go to one and if you vote blue you go to the other, or if you're politically extreme enough to be a problem for ad revenue you get kicked off the platform entirely and end up on the likes of Voat. Engagement algorithms already sort people into information silos, so each platform is already actually two or more that intersect only at right angles in the fifth dimension.
If pinching off the occasional Maoist or Nazi instance means I see slightly fewer reposts of the same news articles and memes everyone else reposts, I'm willing to accept those terms.
Something I think would be healthy for the Fediverse is for instances to be a bit more interest-focused rather than attempting to be general-purpose. I think that would knit a tougher non-political fabric with which to hold the fediverse together, then we can just pinch off the problematic extremists.
Look, the question was, "Do you think Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse will eventually enshittify? I think this would be an interesting discussion to have." I gave an answer explaining that I didn't think Lemmy would enshittify, but pointing out another senerio where Lemmy could collapse. Sorry if you found it too pessimistic, but if you didn't want to hear negativity, maybe this wasn't the discussion for you. Also, if your solution is, "make multiple accounts to get around defederation, start your own instance, or GTFO," that's going to be a problem for growth, because most users will pick GTFO.
Also, I think hyper-specialized instances will only exacerbate any potential schisms. Tribalism isn't necessarily political (although that is currently the central conflict on Lemmy).
Admins could find divisions over rule enforcement, fediverse philosophy, or just get into good old-fashioned pissing contests. The admins on my instance recently created a real mess with the moderators of their own Vegan community, overriding their moderating decisions and then retroactively changing their own rules to justify it. Now imagine that conflict was between two instances, and you need to make a separate account just to talk about veganism. If anything, it seems like having an eclectic group of communities on each instance would be better than specializing, since admins would really have to consider whether it's worth cutting their users off from multiple diverse groups over a conflict.
Fair enough, but the point is that the instance would still be cut off from a large portion of most users' content if it were to defederate from ml or world. And while tankies and centrists libs are the schism developing right now, it seems like that's a symptom of tribalism people have around instances, which I think could undermine the entire principle of federation in the first place.
sh.itjust.works seems to be doing well, playing nice with world, ml, hexbear, and grad, I just worry that a culture cliqueish I've seen so far could keep fracturing Lemmy so it can't develop a sustainable user base. But as I said, I haven't been on the platform that long, and this is just my guess of what Lemmy's version of enshittification might look like after being here a short time.
There are quite a few communities outside of LW and ml:
- !android@lemdro.id
- !casualconversation@lemm.ee
- !movies@lemm.ee
- !showsandmovies@lemm.ee
- !globalnews@lemmy.zip
- !technology@lemmy.zip
Most of the instances are not going to defederate from LW, but if they were, the remaining ones would still survive
Enshittification isn't always driven by a conscious person or organization with an agenda, much less one with an agenda of short term financial gain. Sometimes the aggregation of a bunch of individual decisions causes something to get shittier. Or better. Or just different. 4chan is not at all like it was 20 years ago, but it wasn't because of corporate influence. The culture just changes.
So if the question is whether the fediverse might someday suck, I think the answer is probably yes. It remains to be seen how it will suck, who will have caused it to be that way, and whether there will be other nice things about it.
