Who said the cable was put there by a company or is used by a company.

It could be put there by people and used by the people.

That works for that example.

What if it's an internet cable and playing around it could harm others and not you? Up to people to take other people's chances?

When the pipe suddenly burst into fecal matter coveting everyone in other people's feces democracy would be seen as a great thing.

Then the moderator would ban you because the mod agrees with the other person. I have seen it happen. (Not to me luckily, but I've got a post deleted and the post insulting me was upvoted by the same mod who deleted my post).

And not fron small communities, some of the bigger here on Lemmy.

Moderation is a bit lacking. Which is understandable as few people want to invest time in moderating.

With the aggravated issue of moderators being far less ""professional"" here than in Reddit. At least in some big reddit communities there was a big admin team that tried to keep things more or less professional (not that they would always achieved that but they tried). Here mod teams are very small and mods mostly just got their position by just being here first, so I have found out a lot of very biased moderation and mods just using mod tools and position of authority to defend their own particular opinions.

If you are debating something with a moderator alt account, or with a moderator friend you are in for some unfairness going your way. At least that have been my experience trying to debate even very small deviations from a Community main political stance.

Also a lot of people do not consider they could be on the wrong or that other person can have a total different valid definition of what's right. And just take this "I'm obviously on the right so I can be an as*****" approach.

Normal day.

Some things made me nervous because I need to make a big decision soon. But I also got this afternoon (CET here) free when I was expecting to have it occupied so that's nice.

Probably another big tech would fill the gap before. Sad, but that's the most likely outcome.

I would say (and I know that is a controversial opinion this one) that the fediverse itself is a little to blame here. Not because the technical difficulties to join in that are not that bad, but because most people in the fediverse want everyone here to have a very characteristic political ideology and to be very passionate about it. Like 90% (exaggerating here)of what I read here and in mastodon are politics (more so politics from a very specific pov), even after I made a big effort to get away from political communities.

Most people have not that particular ideology or are not that passionate about it, so they take a look of what's going on here and take the sane decision of not joining in.

I actually think that's the bigger impediment for the fediverse to become mainstream.

I haver a scar (more like a small disfformity) I regret because I sometimes feel that if I would have gone to the doctor in time (or at all) I would have not have it now. Also I got injured by doing just a stupid thing so it's sad have a constant reminder of that. But whatever, you end up learning to live with it.

My ps1 controler have not gotten stick drift in.. how long now? 30 years?

Is that a lost technology like in sci-fi books?

I was a waiter in and out for a year. It's tiring and you can end up exhausted.

But the needed skills were very simple.

Maybe it depends on the type of waiter? I served on the bar and only drinks, which was fairly easy. And of course I didn't own the place or anything. We also didn't serve any special cocktails or weird drinks. I didn't think that a special skill was needed to do what I did.

I think most of those jobs are actually considered skilled jobs. Are they not?

When I think unskilled job I think picking fruit on the fields, cashier, delivering packages (though you need the driving skill so I don't know) job that does actually not take much skill, and could probably be 100% learned how to do right in a week.

Nothing bad with an unskilled job anyway. If it needs to be done it needs to be done. Not because doing it takes no special skill means that it is less important.
