  • I’ve been scuba diving for almost 2 decades and it really pisses me off seeing divers do this stuff. If you touch coral you kill it wherever you touched it, period. If you touch a whale shark you rub off a mucous covering that protects it from infection. If you touch an eel you can easily lose a finger because their vision is garbage and they don’t know what you are. There are tons of examples like this, without even going into the stuff that if you touch it it is going to HURT YOU. It’s just a bad idea to touch anything in the ocean that’s alive. And these videos encourage new divers that don’t know any better.



  • You can 100% eliminate those comments by indicating that what you are posting is paywalled.

    It’s irritating to your readers to see a headline they want more info on, click, and get 2 sentences of it then get blocked. A “pay walled” comment is frustration, and frustration comes from unmet expectations.

    Nobody is going to read the first half paragraph of something they found in All and then go “man I should subscribe so I can see what this is all about”.

    Your call for a ban is certainly the part that makes it an unpopular opinion though. That’s an excellent way to drive away the small part of the user base that even bothers to comment, and would be counterproductive to the growth of Lemmy as a platform.







  • They are making Cloud Microsoft sysadmins, as opposed to on-premises sysadmins. Which means the new crop of admins are just high tier application admins, and have no idea how to manage infrastructure, configure hardware, or actually troubleshoot problems with the application, since they don’t have access to it at that level. All of this makes businesses more and more reliant on the cloud, which is exactly what these providers want.
