This is exactly how machine learning works

I’m cool with it in that state. But my concern here is that while it starts out innocent, if demand increases, it’s only a matter of time until they start mining it and chartering more ships to transport it. Especially in an economy like Greenland’s.

This same pattern has been followed a thousand times in the past. Lots of instances of abusing our natural resources start out innocently.

First of all, rooting for decentralized net 100%. Watching Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, etc. all get screwed over from the top down sucks. I really appreciate the strong community here - having it smaller and more engaging encourages participation and makes it feel a little more human.

However, I’m considering leaving Lemmy just because somehow it’s even more cynical than reddit, and I’m losing interest in opening the app if it’s just 99% downers. I mean almost every article is just crushingly bad news. The world is in a rough state for sure, and staying informed is really important! But trying to live on and find the good is near impossible here.

(Yes, I’m subbed to upliftingnews. That’s the 1%.)

Is this a demographics thing, or am I just subbed in all the wrong places? Maybe a bit of both?

I’ve been using the rif app with ReVanced patches and my own API key, much better than the 1st party app. Eventually it’ll probably break, but it works for now!
