The whole sport is a human rights nightmare, yes. F1 is not beneficial to the world or its inhabitants, I’m well aware.
I’m not about to use a meme community for grandstanding about it, but you do you.
I don’t think being a reserve driver is unreasonable and they tend to hang around the paddock anyways.
I think Nico Hulkenberg is a perfect example of why it can pay to keep in contact with F1 teams when everyone else says your career is over. That isn’t a skill comparison, just an example of someone playing bench warmer after their career in F1 was “over” who still made a comeback.
F1 has certainly seen more ridiculous things.
I’ve been a McLaren fan for a long, long time.
I understand what you’re saying and I respect that point of view.
Having said that.
You shut your mouth and let them have this. If it’s McLaren dominance into the new engine regs you all just need to hitch to the nearest Lando or Oscar bandwagon and hold the fuck on.

It’s been interesting to see the “shine” come off as his incredible run of success in F1 falters a little bit. I think Toto is a decent person and also a very emotional person. For a while all he really let us see was happiness or anger. After a few years of struggling to get back to the front Toto seems to be much more willing to show his feelings in real time instead of through carefully worded statements to the press.
It’s been a good thing imo. It’s cool to see team principles, owners, etc being a part of the team as fans and real people, not LinkedIn versions of people. Not that my opinion matters but it makes F1 more fun to watch when you see the people at the top just as hooked in as we are. Clumsy Zak Brown high fives make me laugh just as much as a Toto stink eye.
The same way they are covered now.
Idk if this is some misguided insult or a legit question.
There is zero need for monetization and corporate bullshit to infiltrate Lemmy. People see an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a newer social media and are quick to stink it up with the same old shit. Fuck that, I’m sick of it.
Lemmy does not have to be a carbon copy of the worst parts of the internet to survive. It is not a requirement to be a reddit clone or a cash generator or be profitable to be usable.
I saw, I was just venting frustration at that specific viewpoint.
It’s annoying that the same tired tactics are being applied to every corner of the internet.
“I think it’s important, for the ecosystem to thrive, that there be a way to have premium content to build businesses here,” he said. “That’s a fundamental belief.”
Hard pass.
There isn’t a need, that’s some bullshit. Maybe some want to monetize their platform, but certainly not all. Fuck this push for finding another way to charge people for shit at every turn being masked as creator support.
I hate it.
One of my favorite matrix games is playing “guess where it thinks the unread marker should be.”
I’m just as likely to be right as it is.
Matrix definitely has its problems. Recently I’ve moved to a private matrix install and a lot of the issues I was having went away. I think the matrix.org domain is overloaded and has a bunch of weird errors because of it. If your account or rooms are hosted there and you have issues I’d try running somewhere else and see if you have the same problems.
Like someone else said the clients have issues too. A lot of them don’t know how to report the errors they run into so they spit out garbage. There isn’t a single client that works perfectly but there are a few that are good enough to use if you aren’t using them for mission critical communication. It’s stupid but it is what it is.
Discord sucks ass and no one will convince me otherwise. I have no desire to support them and their constant nitro spam. I’d rather use something like matrix and see how it develops.
sad trombone
Someday he will get the start right.
Right?
Fuckin hell.
an unpopular comment posted on downvoting-enabled Site A will show higher when viewed on downvoting-disabled Site B
More or less yes, depending on how you have your sorting set and if the comment/post has any positive interactions. At worst it just shows as something with a single upvote and is sorted based on time or however it fits inline with other content with similar vote numbers. Since it’s removing the outliers you see a better overall picture of what’s being said IMO. It’s up to you to decide if that’s positive, negative, or even something you care about.
Or only if it was actually posted on Site B?
It affects how people on instances with downvotes disabled see it no matter where it was posted from. Basically the downvotes simply do not exist to instances that have them disabled.
Having trouble wrapping my mind around this. The post is on Site A. My comment is on Site B. The evil downvoter sees it on Site C. Um - what happens next?
You don’t ever know that evildoer downvoted, because vote totals never drop below 1 (technically 0 but assume OP doesn’t undo the default vote or you downvote). Other instances can still see the vote totals. You can still easily tell popular things from unpopular things but without the downvoters affecting the way YOU see the content.
It does a lot of things but one example would be if someone were to downvote something out of spite with all their alt accounts. Depending on sorting and whatnot you or someone else may not see that content on an instance with downvoting enabled because it usually gets pushed down or collapsed. Without downvoting that content will instead show as something with few upvotes and more or less be blended normally with the rest of the comments.
It is what it is mate, I’m not judging you lol
Awww dammit it’s from cancertown, I was hoping it was oc
