  • Reddit calls for “a few new mods” after axing, polarizing some of its best

    Jump

  • The way to make big money for the past 20 years hasn't been to sell better mousetraps. It's been to attract venture capital. Your revenue didn't matter as much as your size, and your size was determined by your employees and how much you spend.

    It's why Uber, whose business model is entirely skimming off of taxi drivers who provided their own cars, wasn't profitable..

    With the interest rate hikes, the investment money is drying up, and all these places are discovering they actually need to make money from their users now, and all that bloat is now a negative instead of a positive.

    Basically we're all paying the price for the stupid fucking investment bubble that's existed for two decades. An investment bubble that existed because nobody was at the wheel driving the direction of this economy until now.

    And of course the billionaires don't want to sacrifice shit, so they're making sure it all rolls downhill to their employees and their customers and doesn't touch their profits in the slightest.

  • The content has gotten significantly worse.

    Maybe we should find an ad agency and crowd source funds to make slick advertisements for Lemmy and Mastodon. I feel like you should promote a specific instance for each though, and avoid the "join-mastodon" page.

    The way the instances are split does not generally make much sense for the user. It's extremely arbitrary. We all know why, and that it's not a bad thing altogether, but it's bad for the user experience. That aspect of federation is not something we should promote.

  • Android phones can now tell you if there’s an AirTag following you

    Jump

  • And they'll have to do it without a network of billions of phones helping them.

  • You do you. But they really only violate your privacy if they're following you. And that's what the warning is about.

  • Discord != Documentation

    Jump

  • Wow. I'd be self hosting mumble for that. Or using Teams.

  • It's great for real time discussion. It's terrible for anything else.

    It's IRC, not a forum.

  • NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁

  • It might be 255 characters for the entire path?

    I've run into it at work where I don't get to choose many elements. Thanks "My Name - OneDrive" and people who insist on embedding file information into filenames.

  • Reddit undeleting comments and hiding them

    Jump

  • I PMed someone on Twitter asking them to use Mastodon. As soon as I sent the PM, Twitter temporarily locked my account for "suspicious activity". I had to basically fill out a captcha to get my account back, but it didn't send the message.

    I rewrote it while being more careful with my phrasing and misspelling "mastedon" the second time.

    Jump

  • This is fine due diligence. You just need to frame it as such instead of confidently saying these things happened.

    Skepticism is fine. Just assuming Reddit didn't do something this egregious (when they probably did) is poor form.

    This is not the first account I've heard of comments rising from the grave.

  • Google delays launch of Find My Device network and trackers, benefiting Apple

    Jump

  • I'm okay with helping people find their things. Especially if I'm in an airport or generally in public.

    Maybe I'd want it off when I'm connected to my home WiFi.

  • "Don't judge a book by its cover." is a bad idiom, because bookcovers are desinged to represent the content of the book.

    Jump

  • Yes, clearly racism is the biggest reason to hate the Apple TV version. Not that the writers didn't understand the point of the books and turned Asimov's original thoughts on society into magic and mysticism.

  • What they did to Foundation should be a crime.

  • Tesla was so swamped with complaints about driving ranges that it created a secret team to cancel owners' service appointments, source says

  • How do you know it's accurate if you don't run it to empty?

  • What habits do you have to protect your privacy?

    Jump

  • Security is related. With a password manager you don't have to worry about credentials from one site being used on another.

  • Most young people are no longer proud to be Americans, poll finds

    Jump

  • You can have pride in your country without being stupid about it.

    I'm proud to be an American. I'm not proud of everything America does.

    I'm proud that we were the first to land on the moon. I'm proud that we (eventually) helped win WWII over the Nazis. I'm proud of parts of our art and culture, Asimov, (early) Game of Thrones, most of the best games in the world.

    I also protested the Iraq war. I think our ultra-capitalist, corporate worshipping ways have been a negative influence on the world.

    I'm proud of Al Gore's call to action on climate change. I'm not proud we haven't done much about it.

    I'm proud we have the potential to get off planet, self-sustaining colonies going. I wish we'd push harder for it.

    You can find reasons to be proud of your country without endorsing everything they do.

  • Instead of "X", how about we all call it "the website formerly known as Twitter" from now on?

    Jump

  • This is a better explanation and should be with your original complaint. It really fleshes it out.

  • Mozilla opposes Web Integrity API proposal

  • I switched this week.

  • I'm sick of nsfwlemmy.com content popping up in my feed

    Jump

  • I do all, show nsfw on a Lemmy.world account and get zero porn.

    I generally do top 12 hours or I get days old stuff. That could be it? Or maybe he's just scrolling a lot farther than I am.
