Even their “correct” functionality is sketchy AF, the average user would still have no idea what that URL tag meant and thus would not be making the informed choice the article implies they would be making

Agreed, the top suggestion here is a community I’ve been subscribed to from day 1 and it’s always felt dead. Lemmy is good for specific tech niches but outside of that it feels like the same generic meme stream that /r/all is. Also a red flag that nearly all of the communities listed here are attempts to recreate a reddit niche 1:1 which obviously was never going to work as long as the main reddit version is still around

Unfortunately I don’t think recommending dead communities with 9 MAUs and 1 post/month is the solution to building up Lemmy’s userbase but I respect the attempt

Idea: fediverse of ecommerce. Time to dethrone amazon and ebay. What do you think?

Buying from an alternative ecommerce site usually sucks: you have to register for every website, enter your address, payment information and other information, they may leak data or store it improperly, you may not know the reputation of the website or business, you can’t easily compare products with other vendors and more....

ultimate_question,

That makes a lot of sense – when I’m buying something online I like the excitement of not knowing whether a product will cost 20 or 20,000 “dollars” based on how the scam market is doing that day lol

Silicon Valley elites revealed as buyers of $800m of land to build utopian city (www.theguardian.com)

After weeks of local speculation, the purchasers of 55,000 acres of northern California land have been revealed. The group Flannery Associates – backed by a cohort of Silicon Valley investors – has quietly purchased $800m worth of agricultural and empty land, the New York Times has reported. Their goal is to build a utopian...

ultimate_question,

Agreed, regardless of what this is there’s a 100% chance that it’s a profit scheme and has nothing to do with building anything practical for anyone

ultimate_question,

No I swear I just have an account there for all the SFW stuff!!!

ultimate_question,

idk about OP but I use chrome because in Firefox I have to manually download my web history and send it to Google so they can log it for my security, Chrome streamlines this process and ensures Google has my data even if I mistakenly wonder onto a website they don’t have trackers on

ultimate_question,

The irony of this comment is you can find the cooking show but not Westworld on HBO lol

sweet has POS been reclaimed?

I don’t think they’re saying that method would yield 100% clean data but it would give you all the “necessary” data with the absolute bare minimum storage requirement. At some point people will log into their email and for most people if you have their email password you have the password they use for everything

ultimate_question,

I’d say there’s at least a 90% chance that this was addressed in some background gag in Bojack Horseman lol

ultimate_question,

I’m not a power user but it’s way better than Plex imo. The personal media management features are on par with plex without all the bullshit ads / FAST services being shoved down your throat. To me it feels like Plex got too popular and the owners realized that a) they could make a shitload of money off of their existing userbase and b) the more they gear the app around FAST crap the more they can act like it’s used for legitimate reasons and not just piracy

ultimate_question,

Execs are no doubt panicking because the infinite growth they’ve promised as a result of their 2020 finances is starting to look unlikely and they need excuses to cut down on employees

ultimate_question,

The buzzword stablecoin sort of lost its luster when all of those stablecoins crashed at the same time as the unstable ones lol

ultimate_question,

The story is ludicrous

ultimate_question, (edited )

It was a vertical drop ride at the nearby Icon Park and the investigstion found that the harness had been improperly modified by the park at some point to theoretically accommodate large people in such a way that if a big enough person sat there it would fail to lock without any alert or warning; the scary thing is that it was probably like that for a long time. One thing the major Orlando parks have going for them is extremely tight safety standards, these side parks always seem like low budget attempts to prey on people who can’t afford Disney lol

ultimate_question,

Ya I appreciate the gesture but if this truly is the “biggest” robocall racket I have to imagine a 300M fine is a dropping the bucket

ultimate_question,

Ya that website is totally useless if you don’t already know what Pleroma is, it explains what the fediverse is like 4 times but never explains how the app integrates with it lol

ultimate_question,

This doesn’t make much sense because different companies / services will have vastly different development costs associated with Linux compatibility and there wouldn’t be just one global threshold for profitability for everyone

ultimate_question,

The problem is that without an effective way to ID bot content then stats like this could be covering up the real trends in human users, particularly in any stat that purports to measure all lemmy instances since we already know there are instances out there filled with thousands of bot users

Hollywood Gets Snubbed in Saudi Arabia as Local-Language Films Begin to Dominate (www.hollywoodreporter.com)

If they’re not being banned in the Middle East's biggest market (where there are rumors even 'Barbie' potentially isn't safe from censors), studio tentpoles are being muscled out of the box office, sparking a trend that looks set to continue as local moviegoers sour on "Americanized" releases.

ultimate_question,

Good luck trying to get a spicy word like snub in the title with a boring take like that

ultimate_question,

How many people do you think are on lemmy compared to threads lol

ultimate_question,

Look at his post history, he seems to have a weird mistrust of magnets and believes they could just all turn off one day

ultimate_question,

It was illegal, and don’t call me surly.

ultimate_question,

Ya I wouldn’t apply to any role at this company if I saw that, that’s a major red flag that their VC money has either run out or is about to lol

ultimate_question,

The “too good to be true” sell and complete lack of detail / pricing on their website is sketchy imo. I’m immediately suspicious of any org that profits off of piracy in such an opaque way

ultimate_question,

This title is under a few layers of irony, there are similar pictures floating around of green spaces converted to highways in the US with the same title, OP is suggesting the European version actually is progress

ultimate_question,

This is exactly something an engineer who works at Google would want to work on, finding new ways to enrich Google is literally their job and there would be great personal benefit from coming up with the best way to implement this DRM crap for profit

ultimate_question,

I’m sure they’ve been spending the last week thinking of a way to recap this without showing the full thing, such as just focusing on specific sections instead of showing a time-lapse of the the entire canvas. Similarly I’d be surprised if they released the pixel placement data set this time without major edits

ultimate_question,

I remember using something similar to that in college but if I recall correctly it was for weed

ultimate_question,

idk if you came up with this but I expect to see this joke a bunch more in the coming days lol

ultimate_question,

ackshually the technical plural is “LEGO bricks” or “LEGO elements.” Referring to the bricks as LEGO is considered as incorrect as LEGOs

ultimate_question,

i.sears.com/s/d/pdf/mp-tc/…/prod_12149315612

Page 10, the term LEGO must always be followed by a descriptive word

idk why this is on a sears website but I’ve seen similar style guides before

Make sure not to underestimate the brilliance of 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' as it proves to be an exceptional movie! (i.imgur.com)

You’ve got to see Everything Everywhere All at Once - it’s an awesome movie! I used to avoid it, thinking it was just another sci-fi film that got popular in theaters, but boy, was I mistaken. The story is really well-crafted, the visuals are stunning, the acting is top-notch, and it even tugs at your heartstrings...

ultimate_question,

Ya this post is a prime example of why “awards shows mean nothing” is a dumb take – EEAAO was an incredible movie with loads of great cast interviews, high profile reviews, analysis of themes etc that came out as a result of the oscar campaign and Best Picture win and yet OP somehow missed out on it for like a year and a half

ultimate_question,

I think you misunderstand what 12ft.io’s business model is – they didn’t bend over for the NYT, the NYT bent over for 12ft.io by paying them to exclude them from the service. Literally the whole point is to extort money from publications to get on the whitelist.

ultimate_question,

You dropped this: /s

ultimate_question,

Ya anyone who’s seen Roiland’s original Rick and Morty short knows this lol

ultimate_question,

I think the new part is the confirmation that they’re seeking soundalikes and not recasting with someone who sounds totally different like in Solar Opposites

ultimate_question,

Not to mention Craig Mazin taking his name off the movie like 2 years after filming wrapped, the cast itself is good but I think he was the only hope this movie had of being competent lol

ultimate_question,

I’m surprised that Jon Heder, who has famously turned down roles in adult comedies due to his affiliation with the Mormon church, is willing to work with such a publicly known whackjob

ultimate_question,

Sometimes I think the developers of these kinds of projects sometimes drink too much of their own Kool aid – yes emulation as a concept is legal but 99% of dolphin users are not ripping and emulating their own legal games and they know that

ultimate_question,

Go bald early and you can look the same for decades lol

ultimate_question,

Actually I just did the math, factoring in OP’s comment it was only 5,999,999 net

ultimate_question,

To be fair to Google, it’s not entirely their fault, there’s a whole industry now that’s entire purpose is to fuck up the results

I disagree, Google has encouraged and profited massively off of SEO, they could’ve maintained the integrity of result but instead they bent over backwards to make sure SEO methods worked as long as folks were paying Google

Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat
