Besides some obvious ones like The Last Airbender I think one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen was Knock Knock was Keanu Reeves. I’m somewhat surprised this movie was even made.
Might as well disallow all NSFW content if naked anime girls is going to be considered CSAM. Relating these two things is making light of a real problem.
How would federation work in that case? Are they going to defederate any instance that has NSFW content? By their own definition I’ve found CSAM on lemmy.world and every other instance that has NSFW communities.
Probably as good a time as any to depart from lemmy.ml.
If the devs / admins of lemmy.ml can’t be trusted and the admins of lemmy.world are abusive then it is safe to say the experiment called Lemmy has failed. There is no recovery from the top 2 instances which make up most of the “content” are not worth supporting. I could go to another instance and block lemmy.world and lemmy.ml once the BE 0.19.0 update rolls out, but then the site is just dead. It’s already pretty much like talking to the wind. but the site would be truly empty at that point.
I started noticing the trend of instances defederating into little islands months ago, but it seems obvious at this point that it the concept of federation isn’t going to work out well. The easily self hostable part is still nice even if it eventually ends up as singular instances with maybe 1 or 2 federated connections that actually post things. There will be a lot of instances that have nothing, but I don’t think that really counts.
It’s interesting they even programmed the ability to flag communities and posts as NSFW and turn it off in user settings if they didn’t want any NSFW content to be federated with them.
I understand that this is possible. If it were some bad community moderators I would just avoid those communities. If the entire instance is tainted then I wouldn’t want to engage with it even if the instance is federated.
I gave up on video games and never really cared for internet people content. So I read books and am always on the lookout for shows I might like. Many of which are decades old.
It might be difficult to adjust to the slow paced entertainment of reading, but once you go through a bit of digital detox it will become as entertaining as a television show.
Privacy? What is this article talking about. Ads not displaying in no way implies privacy. They will harvest your data as much as it possibly can either way. All you are doing by paying to remove ads is directly funding the ad business model.
It is advised to brush your teeth at least twice a day, but when? Just before bed is a gimme because you’re about to lie mostly still for 6+ hours. Best to not leave food particles to fester....
I can already burn through my entire wireless data limit in minutes. What is the point in it being faster without data being cheaper? At least from a users perspective and not someone who owns a telecommunications company.
I got a Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, and a week later I’m using it for photo backup, shared Excel files with my spouse, and to run some home security cameras....
I host a website on my Synology as well as frequently connect to it via SFTP. I don’t know how secure it is, but I don’t keep anything secret on there to begin with. At least based on permission settings it shouldn’t be possible to access anything you aren’t set up to.
I’ve also been looking into setting up a pi-hole so I would be curious what kind of affect that would have on a Synology on the same network.
As far as I can tell ReadEra non-premium doesn’t have any ads. This means the paid version is only about buying extra features rather than removing ads. This is a very respectable business model in a world where almost every other app out there tries to annoy you with ads until you pay them.
I use ReadEra regularly, but I think I’m going to buy the premium version since you brought it to my attention. The syncing feature could come in handy between my phone and tablet.
I recently switched reading modes from “horizontal” page scrolling to infinite vertical scrolling and it made me read so much faster. It’s really quite weird that it affects anything at all.
As for “supporting the dev” I don’t really get this concept. Do you know them personally? Surely the point would be to support development of something you want rather than the people behind it. I’m in favor of supporting software development if it doesn’t violate any of my principles such as being adware.
In your example would you ever donate money to a developer for software you had never used and have no intentions of ever using?
You might donate to a projects developer because you want them personally to keep on with the project, but that would likely only be ontop of the other reason that you want the software you are using to continue to be developed.
Otherwise it would make more sense to donate to charities.
I’ve often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?
There are a couple really spectacular scenes that I really want to see visualized. In my head I extrapolated what the last 3 books would look like based on the series visualizations which made them like watching the show. That last scene with Draper though… that would be a sight to behold.
Did they really get away with it? It seems like they shot themselves in the foot with pointless rebranding and their sad attempts at whatever the metaverse is. In the end they lost a ton of money
I am really close to watching the whole thing a 2nd time. Besides being genuinely a great show it has a lot of lines that are pretty hilarious out of context.
By the traditional definition they are kind of wrong. I don’t agree at all with Googles relentless data harvesting and ads, but the software isn’t going to make copies to hide itself on your phone and make it difficult to remove. You would be able to uninstall it like any other app without it leaving anything behind.
What about on a Huawei phone? If it wasn’t there to begin with and had to be installed I’d expect it could also be uninstalled. I don’t have a Huawei phone to test it out.

I’m not convinced we have even begun to scratch the surface in developing AGI. I’m also not convinced it is even possible using conventional computer hardware.
I want to see a website that links to whatever is the least viewed Wikipedia article at any given time until all Wikipedia articles basically have the same number of views.
The definition of a meme could be anything at all, but that doesn’t seem useful. So I concede that this could be a meme, but it isn’t funny and doesn’t belong here in my humble opinion.
I’d recommend trying to make some kind of joke with this rather than taking a screenshot of Twitter.
Does anyone know of a digital picture frame product that is good, but doesn’t completely rely on some proprietary service? I’d prefer not to get something as a gift and then in a few years it completely stop working because the company that produced it no longer supports it.
This brings up a good point. I think as long as I can default to using the SD card storage in case whatever service stops working it should be fine. Anything with an SD card slot like this one should work.
