I feel like there might be a good faith argument here for it, idk how to make it tho.

I personally think it would be a good idea. Trump is obviously hoping to use that to rile up his former supporters, but I think it will just provide a layer of transparency to everyone that is much needed, especially in such an important case.

A bit hard. That's very dependent on the alternative though.

Lemmy: I tried it a few days after the Reddit debacle and I never looked back. I really want this to work but the main thing is that I can still doom scroll anyway so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Mastodon: I didn't use Twitter anymore but then I wanted to again. So I looked into mastodon. It's been chaotic af. Couldn't find ppl I wanted to follow because no recommendations and you kinda have to know who you're looking for. Also there's no likes, so you don't even know which tweets were more interesting and that didn't help (I know this is controversial, but imo these are things that will always make it hard for the average social media person). I kinda just gave up and until this gets easier I won't try again. Don't have the motivation nor the patience for that. Not worth it.

It shouldn't be.

Unfortunately everyone is trying to make it political which just restricts gay ppl and damages politics in a brand new.

If being gay was just a trait again, we could skip a lot of this circus. But until then, honk honk.

Yikes

Yes and this is the exact reason why vigilance is absolutely shameful.

If you don't respect the rights of whomever you accuse and give them a fair opportunity to defend himself, you are not better than them, as you too would be a criminal. History shows that.

When the courts are corrupt you need new courts, but you still need them, you can't just skip the law. That's how countries fall apart.

My point was purely to say that in the future those running parts of the fediverse now need to be more cautious.

And that's where I disagree. This is like being attacked by a lion in Berlin. Yeah, it's a risk, but tbh it's just such a stupid situation that if it happens, we are decentralised so for most ppl it should be a minimal impact, and for the rest it's unavoidable. My point is, there's always a non-zero chance for this but we should waste no time thinking about this, as there's no real solution to it. It's like saying "there's a non-zero chance my house can be hit by the shockwave a meteorite". No one prepares for that, as it makes no sense to accomodate for that.

And I generally agree with the integrity of your solution, but at that point you would also need to think about any other political decision that could lead to TLDs changing ownership. Imagine if .net changed ownership and suddenly there's a 23yo billionaire setting new prices for like every 5th host on the internet. That's so ridiculous there's no way plan for all of those possibilities in every way.

Honestly this might be an unpopular opinion, but I think this literally down to bad luck and this is nothing we have to be prepare for anymore than any other host. Which is an incredibly small amount. It's not like this shit happens often as there would be a lot of news coverage around it considering the amount of big companies affected, and I frankly think this is very low on the list of priorities of things that lemmy has to keep in mind or address at some point.

You probably enjoyed collecting it. That means finding the games and then putting them together in a neat collection.

You probably did it because you enjoyed finding the games and wanted build the collection because you thought you enjoyed owning them as well.

Goals change, priorities change. Appearently he didn't enjoy it anymore, and that's fine. It's probably hard to realize that you no longer share the same joy about it with your friend.

That said, that has nothing to do with whether you still enjoy it. And regarding your questions: do you? If so, it's totally fine to own something just because you enjoy having it around. Maybe if you need the money urgently or the space, there's an argument there to trade that for you enjoyment of this, but that's up to you.

I hope that whatever you do, it's because you decided it for yourself and didn't decide it because of whatever your friend did :)

Where's the unread button

Should iirc

Some crimes are unforgivable for cops. Like driving while black.

Ppl have already provided really good information.

I wanted to add that generally a lot of things work in theory rn for Lemmy and other fediverse entities, but a lot of them are still riddled with bugs and stuff, so your experience might not line up with what is theoretically possible.

I'd assume in January a lot of the apps are already broadly usable for the most part with some minor bugs still sticking around. So things will definitely improve greatly over the next while. But until then things might not always look like you'd expect them to.

Yeah I really don't like the "they're not finishing the job" comments. To me it's kind of equivalent to victim blaming; it's really despicable to blame citizens for not putting their life at risk when you don't know their current circumstances.

Don't get me wrong, bigger protests are probably needed, but the blame is not imo. This is not some ordinary action.

Appearently brave is the most privacy focused browser. At least according to this paper from 3y ago.

Edit: guys I know that Brave is not the best browser and I wouldn't recommend it, but I haven't seen studies or in depth articles about technical details of privacy concerns.

And I'm not being sarcastic, I wanna see them so I can make a more informed opinion.

Huh that's the first time I've heard that.

Not disagreeing but does someone have some sweet and juicy sources? Would love to look into that.

Yeah the there's probably nothing to infringe upon with Twitter code. The only basis it theoretically had was if business secrets had been shared, and from what I've heard there's basically no evidence of any business secrets bring leaked to Threads; it's even unclear if there's any non-disclosure or stuff that could be violated if developers are talking about code and structure.

Looks like the cease and desist wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

You only do that to show dominance over your toilet.

Is there a reason why now? That's the only part I don't get

The only way in mind this dumbing down happens is by fumbling with the model. So that's the one thing we can be sure: the AI is most definitely changed while publicly staying "ChatGPT 4". I assume they are either using clipping or token limitations to split the server load but fucking up the result, or they are purposely dumbing it down to capitalise on it later by introducing other pay models like ppl already mentioned.

Either way they are shooting themselves in the foot because a bunch of ppl will unsubscribe either out of spite for the change or because it's just not worth it anymore for them.
