  • What Happened to Tumblr: Why Adult Content Mattered | Video Essay by Kenz Mangan

  • Wish these were articles, video is so slow.

    That's part of the appeal for me. And that it's more visual with more pictures than the average article.

    But you can also increase the speed to 2x, then it's faster (:

  • Lol- i don’t need a video to know blocking porn was the downfall of tumblr.

    So you're saying you watched a 40 minute video in one minute and I shouldn't have posted it because it's the only valid point the video makes?

    Or did you rather just read the title of the video and assumed that its content was 40 minutes of repeating what was said in the title in long form?

  • Facebook can easily circumvent most requirements like that if the license isn't invasivively copyleft. Usually web standards have permissive licenses.

  • My opinion:

    There are a lot of lessons we can learn from the downfall of tumblr for the Fediverse aswell. I am glad there are Mastodon communities which welcome explicit content creators. But some of the comments for that video suggest that they aren't able to connect to people outside of that bubble, since these people's instances might block NSFW ones.

    In addition to that, blocking tags like #abuse is an awesome mental health feature which should definitely be embraced by the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular.

  • We have the power over ActivityPub

    Who is 'we'? And who doesn't say that there's something on top of activitypub?

    Plus, if they do create cool features, why would we not also add them?

    Because we don't have multiple thousands of paid developers.

  • exactly my experience :D

    It's the enshittification of cars.

  • I didn't drive a BMW 320e (2021) but a BMW 320d Touring (2018). I could not get the navigation system to recognise my voice and the steering wheel buttons had a "lag" of at least 200-500ms before changing anything (e.g. picking up a call, ending a call, cycling through the speedometer menu). A friend of mine drives a recent M5 which seems to be better and to be fair, BMW is one of the better brands in terms of UX. But driving a recent VW id.3 really aggravated me to the point I drove back to the renting place and got another car.

    Maybe it's just preference and I prefer the snappier, cleaner interfaces of Asian cars instead of the "space ship" touchscreens with submenus upon submenus with lots of confusing options. I also didn't drive those cars long enough to "get" them, but when I test drove a Hyundai Ioniq 5 before buying it I could just immediately… drive and use it, intuitively understanding all knobs and buttons. Maybe I have an Asian brain in a German body or something.

  • Haha, nice. I didn't like that brand anyway. Keep getting rekt by Asian (e.g. Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Nissan, Honda), French (e.g. Renault, Peugeot) and northern (e.g. Volvo) manufacturers. German automakers are so far behind everyone else that it's astonishing they still survive. Probably subsidies.

    I literally never drove a German-made car made in the last 8 years and thought "wow, what a thoughtful infotainment and user experience". It's always laggy, complicated, hard to navigate and hard to use when driving.

  • ‘Scanners are complicated’: why Gen Z faces workplace ‘tech shame’

    Jump

  • that's not a defense, there are countless scanning apps for phones and tablets which magically correct the perspective and distortion and remove the creases. In a way, these are even better than scanners because they have a very high resolution.

  • What's astonishing to me is that there is software which allows you to use your phone's keyboard as an input method for the PC. However, they didn't even think about it because they never needed to connect two devices together without them magically finding each other. Send a file? Do it through WhatsApp, even though the person stands right next to you.

  • Laptop is being repaired for a couple weeks, so using my Raspberry Pi as a desktop for everything

    Jump

  • Nice case, can you tell us which one it is, please?

    If I would use a Raspi as a desktop, I'd install Arch Linux ARM or Armbian on it, however Raspberry Pi OS is probably also a good choice.

  • Thank you for your efforts to keep the community positive and the site running.

    Please take care of yourself and watch out that you don't burn out. The one thing which is worse for a community than a stressed admin/mod is a burnt out one.

    Your post sounds like (I am not a qualified professional, this is not a diagnosis!) you're currently in stage 3 (of 12, so 25% of the way to the end) of burnout, symptoms being Negligence of one's own needs (social contacts, rest and relaxation are no longer as important as before. One has the feeling that one cannot take time for this).

    If that's really the case, try to hear your own needs and take a step back once you feel it's too much.
