if it's mandatory to make an instagram account still, there's literally no point to use it over instagram
you just underestimated these general instances of Lemmy
500~ people come to this forum a month
"I prefer a distribution which is supported by game publishers." feels like it sets bad expectations considering it's just "do you want a stable Debian/Ubuntu distro?" and 'game publishers' might be a little out of date with their wording/justification
They're not really backing their claim up though in regards to "related to admins" and "admins are deleting other people's warnings".
And as far as I know the torrent has been pulled even.
We're definitely nowhere near "fuck it" levels, as the article says, we sure can make things a lot more awful if we decide now that we can't do anything about it anyway.
But maybe we need a stronger example than.. Bike lanes.. Though I get the point he's making.
Sometimes I check out /r/technology and /r/worldnews through libdirect proxy, as well as the slightly more occasional tech-support hunt, but I don't feel the need to interact with it.
Saw a thread of people circlejerking "fuck spez" and giving a bunch of rewards to each other under a thread where /r/space was reannounced, and I was so surprised these people thought they were doing anything
Could be very "useful" for VR hardware I think (for better or for worse)
As the article says, no doubt a snails-pace journey as W11 still needs to expire in 10 years at the very least
Sorry, (now edited) I had stressed it from the sub-title a bit as well
It handily beat ChatGPT to the milestone while Twitter traffic is ‘tanking,’ according to Cloudflare CEO. Will the users stick around? Although the numbers aren’t directly comparable, as of last November Twitter had around 260 million monetizable daily active users, per a tweet from owner Elon Musk at the time.
What do you mean doing monotonous tasks for a week so you can get 2 bucks isn't engaging?!
I think that misses the point of the post as Zizek argues the shaking of order as things are now will lead to more right wing authoritarianism.
In France and elsewhere, everyday insecurity hurts the poor much more than the rich.
In a world of role-reversal, it would perhaps make the most sense to embrace the 21st century where the leftwing no longer seems to be the rude, vulgar, authentic force and instead insist that law and order is threatened by right wing terrorism as it bit by bit seeks to cast us into chaos on every front.
Personally I find the entire article to be a very interesting read, both with accurate observations and interesting analysis.
With Linux still being 1.4% that's actually a lot less steam decks bought than I thought there'd be. Or I guess something fucky could be going on with what i assume is the majority of people with a steamdeck, those with Windows and a Steamdeck
I'm no expert, but I found this blogpost insightful: BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization
The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
[..]
Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
[..]
it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.
I'm kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)
Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don't see mentioned yet
'Multi Account Containers' + 'Container Tabs Sidebar' + 'Switch Container' + 'Temporary Containers' + 'don't care about cookies' 'Consent-o-matic'
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don't have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies. at this point mostly because I don't like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance
ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup
Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc
Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)

i'll admit, it would probably be healthier if you guys could move on now
like sure, keep posting about reddit stuff for the next month, there's probably relevant stuff to talk about, but there's no reason to obsess over spez this bad
as a sidenote, really hate how you need to tie either a google or facebook account to make a definition on this site
They are asking ISPs to lay out their best justification so that they can decide whether it's valid or not. Judging by their wording, they want a good explanation. It's good to gain understanding of something before we gut it and who better to ask for the 'best argument for' than those who enforce it?
