He’s telling people in the room about everything about buying oceans, what it mean, how great it is, he has all the evidence in this computer, he’s reading all this great stuff about buying oceans, he’ll get China to pay for it, yadda, yadda … and the computer hasn’t even been turned on or plugged into anything.

Enshitification? … at this point it’s all dissolving into that putrid liquid dumpster juice.

No … if people want to watch it live go ahead … if not they can read the news story.

I just thought it was a significant world news story of a fairly good person who was able to have some international influence and use it for good causes … a type of individual that we are sorely lacking in the world these days.

Thanks for that … like I mentioned to friends and associates in public and online … I thought it was just important to highlight the event as he was US President, and also most long lived US President at 100 years of age … and the fact that after his retirement, he did so much international aide organization work, either to support or to just lend his name and personality to it.

It’s becoming a rare thing to see a world leader honestly, publicly and through their own actions actually join in and take part in grass roots organizations and even get down and dirty to the point of working at an actual construction site, not just for a single photo op but on a regular basis whether cameras were rolling or not.

I agree but the problem is that there is a huge percentage of the population that use this dumb site as a way to collect and gather all their information about the world. The problem is not so much that fb changed, the problem is that so many people rely on it.

Data is always beautiful if you cherry pick the data you want.

This is like judging how beautiful someone is by only looking at their hands.

It feels shitty and I was doing the same thing all day. I had to resurrect my lemmy.world account just to get back online. It’s made me realize that I should maintain both accounts for shut downs like this. And now I’m also having to do more in maintaining my Mastodon account too.

Weird to think what happens when you lose a site you visit on a regular basis. I can understand the whole instance going down but us users just get lost when things get turned off. There’s no way to know what happened, why or when or if anything will return.

I had to resurrect my old lemmy.world account to figure out what happened. I guess we have to hang on to two or more unique instance accounts in case our main instance goes down.

Stay well guys and I totally appreciate the admins of lemmy.ca and all the work they do. I’ll patiently wait and look forward to seeing it online again.
