Interesting observation. I really wish anything we see could be trusted regarding the war rn, but fog of war is one hell of a thing. Let’s hope we will see everything that propaganda has pushed after the war is over.

Mmm yes, let the snake oil flow through you.

They’d do better finally fixing teams. We’re talking years after release, and there’s still no option to change my status behaviour. It forces DnD when I get called, it puts me afk after only 5min, …

Their software does not fundamentally work very well. So even if this bs would be talking about an actual feature, that’s some stone age project management right there.

I mean I know why ppl are scared it will kill off the fediverse, but the only thing that can kill off the fediverse is the Devs. As long as they don’t sell it or start involving a bigger company in the development, we are fine. And pull requests are transparent and therefore not a thread with enough common sense.

I see the risk but I don’t think it’s that imminent.

Interesting

Why the hell washe not awarded his whole fees? Maybe the jury didn’t think he’d been spending that much money? Well what an annoying outcome.

Yeah you never know what their research looked like. Maybe they checked and got a whole bench of oil execs in there.

Sounds like they knew what they were doing.

I might be ignorant, but where’s the relevant case law making copyright apply to AI?

I know that copyright definitely applies if you record things 1:1. I also know we’re on the brink of getting new laws regarding AI. But from what I know there’s still nothing that a lower court can safely rely on. And I’m talking EU, as well as US.

If I’m wrong please tell me, I’m excited to learn about what I missed.

As if bbc wouldn’t get you upvoted to oblivion

That’s one of the things that this platform’s name is appearently based on. Just FYI; so you and the main developer have something in common :)

Man there’s literally only one thing stopping me from using mastodon and that’s likes.

I know marketing, and shit, and likes sometimes skew things, but without likes any toot is given the same weight, no matter if it’s a good or bad toot. There’s no way for me to see through the chaos that emerges from this.

I know there are reasons not to do this, but I damn well know I’m not the only one, and I’m sure it would make it more appealing for a lot of ppl unfamiliar with mastodon. You could even make it optional so ppl can turn it off and there would be no harm done.

That’s a big yikes and I hope they will find another way…

There are a lot of reasons for this general trend, but let me add my two cents to make a case for the sudden influx of user-opposed changes:

I don’t have a source for this, but I remember that Linus spoke about this on the LTT WAN-Show. Basically, abunch of big silicon valley investors are pulling out of all of the big platforms, therefore leaving them with a huge hole in their profitability. This means, that right now a lot of them are scrambling to scrape together more money over time, so all of those platforms are sustainable.

Obviously this has to observed in conjunction with all of those are trends that are already mentioned by other comments, but this gives more basis as to why now, and why to this extent.

If someone else knows what I’m talking about please add quotes and sources because I don’t like the good old ‘dude trust me’ guarantee one bit.

If the browser version works for you, that’s perfect. There’s no need to test out all the apps that are currently flying around.

To be honest from what you said I would advise against checking out the apps right now because all of them lack some features and will have some annoying bugs.

There’s a few apps on the way that promise to be really good, but that’s still a long way from stable release. If you wanna use them when they are useable, you should check the apps out at the end of the year, because that’s when a few more major things are figured out and the apps will be far more stable.

So why are ppl talking about the apps so much? All personal preference. Some are only using lemmy on their phones and with that in mind it’s important to know how to do that. But if that doesn’t phase you, that’s totally fine.

Hope you’re enjoying your time and happy lurking :)

Edit: I hate grammar

One of only a handful companies I would love to throw money at for a paid dlc. The Devs really deserve it.

On another note I started playing it again with a friend just yesterday. Coincidences are weird…

Omg that was the Reddit client I used

All my dreams are coming true. This was worth seeing Reddit crash and burn. Yes. I like this new age.

wtf

isn’t that censorship and therefore not conforming with EU laws? I might be wrong here but I just can’t see this having a solid legal basis.

I don’t actually know what bad actors can do.

Well, you’re not gonna like this but every pentesting / vulnerability scan starts with a port scan. It’s really there to probe a PC for anything interesting. Although it’s not strictly illegal because you’re just kindly asking a PC to handover any meta information on what is currently running on the PC exposed to the internet, the trajectory is clear and in the contrast the goal is opaque which makes it shady af.

it should do what you said and if it doesn’t do that it might be a bug.

this is best reported on the lemmy-ui GitHub issues page if it’s a web browser issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues

or on your app’s issues page.

nope. had a good pc, definitely not worth it.

Don’t get me wrong, it was a few hours of fun for me and I got to enjoy the storyline. but then, nothing. the content came to an abrupt halt, no reason to keep going. not even a hundredth of the content of the Witcher.

ngl I had flashbacks to watch dogs 1. it was a great game with a great concept, but it had a dead stop and then it just ended. and just like watch dogs 1, everyone was hating on it.

yeah sure, some ppl jumped on the hate because it was popular, but let’s not distract from the fact that both of those games felt like someone snake oiled their way into a release with a half finished game, and that’s bad.

oh god you’re right - it will be the ultimate hung jury and it will be annoying af.

the good thing is, in the current climate I can’t see Trump getting reelected.

considering they have employees saying their CEO needs to go, they are randomly banning users who post things approved by mods and in line with tos, they are banning even the most slimey mods for no reason and the CEO is putting out infinite inflammatory statements in a row, I’m sure the atmosphere in which the admins work is somewhere between -3 and -53.

and all of those things are from news just this week. So of course we’ll never know how much the admins are fucking up, but considering all of these things it’s like gardening in a tornado. I honestly wouldn’t put it on them; can’t assume they’re all the same as the CEO.
