I never noticed before, but this post says it has 9 comments and I only see 8.

lack of diversity of content

This part is bugging me the most. I often see the same articles posted here over and over again by these bots.

I still can't figure out why anybody is using the site whatsoever.

Afaik it's not nearly at all like this. Doesn't change the fact that you have absolutely no alternatives, though. If apple did decide to do this, you couldn't just sideload the apps yourself.

Did you really expect much more from a yahoo article?

Who on earth decided to leave the projector on while they took the group photo?

Literally 80% of the screen is just useless garbage ads. It takes some effort to actually locate where the real search result is on the screen.

Just be glad you're on Android and have alternatives to this. Poor Apple users are stuck with whatever Apple decided to do with the app store.

The fact that you can't control your feed hardly at all is the part that drives me away from Threads the most. The thing I loved about these social media sites back when they first launched (Facebook, Twitter, etc) was that the feeds were all sequential. That meant it was actually possible to keep up with everything posted by my friends, and there was an obvious stopping point. The day Facebook moved to pushing a non-sequential stream of content in your face was the day I realized these websites did not care about my experience at all. Now those websites serve you at least 75% garbage that isn't even posted by any of your friends, and the only reason anyone uses it is because they feel obligated to use a site their friends supposedly also use.

Federated social media instances just makes so much more sense. The users having control over the platform they use is the way this ought to be. There is absolutely no reason a huge corporation should be controlling our social networks for us.

TIL there is a search function for Lemmy.

Yep, which is why many people had this exact experience: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones

It's been said a million times, but piracy is an accessibility issue. Chasing your favorite shows across streaming platforms is exhausting.

Not worth watching past season 4, imo. Season 2 is the peak season, if you ask me.

Yes, please! I typically swipe sideways to "go back" on my phone, which means I end up accidentally triggering this frequently.

This has nothing to do with the comment you responded to. Perhaps you responded to the wrong comment?

Search was always broken. When have you ever found anything you were looking for with it?

Same. There's no reason to not clear old cached images, it's very unlikely I'll go back and look at those old posts again.

Exif data is easily modifiable.

If you're looking for this specific episode, you can definitely find it out in the wild. As far as I can tell, pirating it is the only way to watch it here in the states.

The community tends to favor more permissive licenses in general. I think a lot of it is due to a large amount of core libraries (often owned by members of the core team, in Rust nursery, or otherwise central to the ecosystem) using MIT or Apache 2.0, which means users who begin publishing their own libraries and know next to nothing about licenses will just follow suit.

I do wonder how it would hold up on court to basically clone something by rewriting it in a different programming language and then relicense it. I'm no lawyer though, I have little understanding of how these things work.
