nbafantest,

Don’t you have it backwards? It’s not the phones, its the trackers.

And the obvious reason is apple and google built it, so of course Tile is behind. If google already had trackers, that sentence would say AirTags and googleTags*

nbafantest,

I’d probably just run gitlab and use the gitlab images, as that’s one of the solutions git recommends

nbafantest,

For now, Reddit will cover gas costs for distributing Points to users and allowing them to spend Points on features such as Special Memberships.

Spez: “We are not profitable”

This is where Spez is spending money. Not on making the App/UI/UX better, but on crypto scams lol

nbafantest,

Reddit got massive because it had very vibrant communities and lots of them that inspired a loyalty in its uses.

I was brought to Reddit by a previous user, and I brought several of my friends to Reddit.

For lemmy to get there, you need thousands of communities.

Want to know stuff about Rav4? There’s a sub for it.

Want to know about accounting? There’s a sub for it?

Want to know about what’s happening in Oklahoma city? There’s a sub.

Lemmy isn’t anywhere close to this point. In fact most subs are very dead.

nbafantest,

Yes. The very first one of these suicide drone attacks Ukraine still denies it was them lol

nbafantest,

The answers on that subreddit are probably the highest quality answers on all of Reddit.

The mods are very strict and keep the quality exceptionally high

nbafantest,

I use duck duck go.

It’s pretty good, but it’s obviously not as good as google. And I’ll frequently have to actually google something.

Things that are almost comically bad on DDG:

-maps/restaurants/businesses -news/current events

nbafantest,

It’s not illegal, they don’t have to provide this feature to you for you to edit your own comments.

They do have to delete it if you ask them tho.

Google ordered to pay $339M for stealing the very idea of Chromecast (www.androidauthority.com)

Chromecast has been one of those smaller hardware products that have brought about a meaningful experience upgrade. The first Chromecast solved the pain point of clunky TV software interfaces, making it easier to locate content on your handy smartphone and then play it on your big-screen TV. However, a Court in the US has ruled...

nbafantest,

This seems like a clear patent troll, and I cannot believe someone got a patent for just the idea of using your phone to play videos on your TV.

nbafantest,

What did the other side bring to the table lol

Goggle almost certainly said we want androids to play videos on the tv.

And touch stream said “we don’t actually have any capabilities to do that, pay us $1 billion”

Brands that don't buy enough Twitter ads will lose verification (www.theverge.com)

Starting August 7th, advertisers that haven’t reached certain spending thresholds will lose their official brand account verification. According to emails obtained by the WSJ, brands need to have spent at least $1,000 on ads within the prior 30 days or $6,000 in the previous 180 days to retain the gold checkmark identifying...

nbafantest,

This isn’t even enshittification. This is just trash ownership

what are .webp files and why has my online experience been plagued by them?

I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with....

nbafantest,

The reasons for this is that computing power is cheap but developers are expensive.

nbafantest,

In the US, this would be a F250 extended King Cab blocking your path while idling and spewing diesel exhaust.

I guess our “mildly” infuriating things are different.

nbafantest,

If they do any sort of Facebook login/auth, frequently facebook will require them to send them data about ANYONE who is using their site.

nbafantest,

Might not even be selling it, could just be an arrangement to use some sort of “sign in with facebook” service or even advertise on facebook marketplace/adverts

How do server upkeep costs look like for fediverse stuff?

I'm pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?

nbafantest,

Im on a different small mastodon server and our admin expects about $0.14 per user per month.

Which makes reddits api pricing disgusting
