Do we really need these many posting bots?

Jump

  • Accounts can indicate whether they are bots. You can even filter posts from bot accounts.

    • Pirating Microsoft Office 2019 on Linux?

    Jump

  • it can fuck up microsoft office formatted documents.

    The problem there is not with LibreOffice, but with Microsoft Office. They do not implement the format standard correctly.

    Not that it eliminated your problem, but it's important to understand who the real culprit is and why.

    • Activision has misplaced its Transformer games, says Hasbro

    Jump

  • It should probably also be mentioned that she was laid off, not fired.

  • She was also the producer for Lightyear, which imo was not a very good movie.

    • Why do people upload cracked steam versions of games that also released on gog and already have a DRM-free installer?

    Jump

  • When I was about ten years old, I bought the game Warrior Kings while visiting my grandparents using my birthday money. When I got home, I tried to install it on our computer, only to discover that the game wouldn't install because of some DRM thing. Years later, I discovered what really happened was that the copy I bought was apparently not an original disc, but as a kid I had no way to know. I spent hours trying to install it, attempting many times over the next month. The pictures on the box looked so dang cool, but I never did get to play it.

    DRM hurts consumers. When you aren't able to use software you yourself paid for, that's a negative. There is no benefit for the consumer, the benefit is only for the seller.

    • Feature Request View Context/View Parent in Comment Chain

    Jump

  • It would still be nice if there were a "Show Parent" button as well. If the comment is in a large tree of comments, it can be hard to find which comment it is directly replying to.

  • His dad works at Sync for Lemmy

  • How much is it to remove all ads?

    • Appreciation post for Liftoff not collecting user data or injecting ads.

    Jump

  • Yeah, one glance at the terms of use had me uninstalling the app. I don't feel like "decentralized social media" and "sale of personal data" pair well together.

    • Sync for Lemmy is now available for everyone

    Jump

  • Reading that argument makes me feel like we've made it as a platform 👍

    • Sync for Lemmy is now available for everyone

    Jump

  • Yeah, just seeing that it will collect data about me for personalized ads was a turnoff. There are plenty of Lemmy clients without ads. I can't imagine seeing ads while using Lemmy, either.

    • Reddit beats film industry, won’t have to identify users who admitted torrenting

    Jump

  • From what I remember, they only asked for a username and an optional email address.

    • A story of MATLAB piracy

    Jump

  • Yep. A commercial license is $940 a year, and as far as I understand you need a separate license for each person using it.

    • Elon Musk wanting to remove dim theme from twitter

    Jump

  • I'm guessing that no one here does. If you're on Lemmy, you're probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.

    • My Opinion: NewPipe, Piped, Invidious, etc's days are numbered.

    Jump

  • Fairly sure that's a well-known issue. Not sure if it's been fixed on new versions, but I think there are workarounds for it at least.

    • My Opinion: NewPipe, Piped, Invidious, etc's days are numbered.

    Jump

  • Right, the best way to win here is just not to play. Stop watching content on YouTube altogether. Find alternative ways to watch that content, or simply don't watch it at all.

    • Blue checks gonna simp

    Jump

  • Yeah, that makes me feel like it's not a serious platform. I can't imagine convincing any friend to use it by saying "toots".

    • Is a plex subscription worth it?

    Jump

  • Through a subscription fee, no less.

    • Spoiler Tags don't work on Liftoff.

    Jump

  • Wait, that's supposed to be a spoiler? This explains why the bot that posts on c/technology keeps putting three colons in the posts.

    • How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it?

    Jump

  • Drives me crazy when I see this kind of format for things like programming. Nothing like pausing the video and trying to see what their code says.
