  • The actual "story" is that photoshoots for stock photos do a lot of random scenarios at once with given actors.

    There's photos of the two women getting together and conspiring against the guy. There's also photos where he's visibly in a relationship with the other girl instead.

  • I prefer transmuting goblin to gold. Quite a curious spell, only works on those who mock magic.

  • If I'm only browsing top, I switch to .ml since I had an account there months ago

  • Remember how they took gold awards, a user made bot, and monetized it?

  • Any password restriction that LOWERS entropy is a bad restriction.

    No, I'm not answering the question, I know. But I'm answering the better question, which is "is this a stupid thing to ask of a password?", and yes it is.

  • Firefox did the same.

    And I actually love it.

  • You're saying this... On Lemmy. You do know we have three different "trending" settings here, right?

    I honestly much prefer the idea of a chronological feed too, but disagree that's what kills a platform. Tumblr has both the chronological and the trending for you/for all, and it was also ignored.

  • I feel what you feel, and I agree with the dehumanizing comparison, but it is what it is. I just can't understand the mentality of the herd because it highlights a completely different set of priorities from that of good social media environment. So I hold that comparison to all its negative contempt.

    Threads comes up with minimal advertising and people join it without really caring what it does and how well it does. It comes with many of the same usability and content discoverability issues that Twitter had on a its worst of days. The hierarchy of sponsored content vs follower content vs follower interaction vs follower-of-follower content vs whatever the hell further down this clown parade Threads openly does is just completely whack. And it is still just as obfuscated as the rest in terms of being favored by its algorithm, plus monetization of content is a complete question mark. And yet people still join, and not any random person, but the every-person and the famous and the political. AOC herself ignores Mastodon and makes up an excuse, but is on Threads day one.

    And Why? Why join a mediocre, underbaked, and by the numbers platform that basically doesn't even innovate on the previous one? Because of the promise.

    The promise it could be "The Next Big Thing".

    Not saying I'm above it. Not saying there's superiority in standing to opposition to this or anything. For every thing I care about here, there will be many other things I don't and where I frustrate someone. But it still does make me overall more jaded about the world regardless.

  • Thank you edgeworth for eating a bee and dispelling the taste question.

  • Changing password is a good idea.

    Changing it NOW is a bad one tho, we don't know what's going on on .world's side.

    Unless of course, if we're talking about changing any other sites that use the same password, at which point: One, do that. Two, stop using the same password on more than one site. Time to get a password manager.

  • There goes the largest no stupid questions community. Bah. They'll be back in a day or two, I know, but bah.

  • I think this is the perfect opportunity to plug to everyone the concept of password managers and other basic web security concepts.

  • In fact, I'm tempted to say I WANT people to know I'm not the one downvoting them when I disagree.

  • The hell?

    99.99% of content on reddit is stolen. What do you think something like /r/WhitePeopleTwitter is about if not content theft from another large platform, with first come, karma served. No one, not a single person there, is ever even concerned with wether or not permission was requested and granted. Heck, not even guides are safe from this. Go visit /r/piracy, and check their wiki. Think of how cool, useful and well formatted it is. Appreciate it for a bit, right before being informed that even this was initially copied nearly verbatim from another online resource. One that, ironically, is banned from being posted on Reddit.

    It's a link aggregator, that's the category of website it falls under.

    And so is this one.

    Steal and credit. Link the original directly if you feel too bad. Reword after research, but do it manually if it concerns you. You will be doing more than due diligence. Because if no one ever stole, we'd basically have no content.

  • Same thing for every single-game community. Dota's deserted. Also things like patientgamers is lowering in activity.

  • /r/Piracy

    That's not the real games piracy sub anyways. The true successor of the scene-watching community is and always was /r/CrackWatch and even there people are very aware that they're not contributors, just spectators. So basically, it was a place for movies piracy, and movies piracy is and always been the most piss easy, top result on google piracy around. I haven't gone on a single website to pirate movies in a decade, shit is all searchable either directly on qBit and deluge or on tracker tools.

    They don't want to come over, so what? They're irrelevant. A wiki service reddit, barely anything else. A place for people who unironically install uTorrent and don't even know what the u stands for.

  • So... A typical compass meme.
