Twitter now blocking all DMs from non-Twitter Blue subscribers by default
  • Habit and familiarity, really. I saw a YouTuber recently argue against Mastodon and Threads because "people simply don't change platforms so I'm sticking with Twitter, despite its issues." Which is an insane take, imo, but one from a user.

  • Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set
  • They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.

    My two cents is there's a structural issue that's converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you'll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.

  • one test and when you pass it you don’t have to go to school anymore.

    In America it's called the GED. I know this because a friend of mine took it at 15 and started community college immediately.

  • You're personal life aside, cause I understand middle/high school is the worst, what do you mean by "decentralized schooling" and what does that mean in your view? Is it curriculum or who "runs" the building?

  • Is it just me, or is Lemmy 1000% better?
  • Tbf, I have a slight feeling the users here might have a FOSS bend at a higher clip, so that perspective is to be expected.

    I know because I'm one of these guys. Insert any tech company in for X and I'll have something to grumble about after a few beers 😅

  • /r/AccidentalRenaissance moderators have all resigned. The subreddit has permanently shut down and moved to Lemmy.
  • I take a train to the city, and I bike to the station whenever I need to go into the office. The amount of disabled folk I see that could not transport themselves otherwise because a car is requisite would shock you.

    The point of their community is improving public transport so it isn't as car centric and a requirement to participate society.

    I don't see exactly how that's "commie" to strive for a more democratic society.

  • Yeah, this kinda hit me whenever my first pair of AirPods died because I was using them so much. They have such tiny batteries, so a percentage difference in total charging capacity was felt quicker. Additionally, the use-case lends to them being discharged almost completely, which hurts life further. While it's convenient, I realized I was paying a really sharp subscription service where there's no service from the manufacturer to continue the use of the parts and ultimately the product is designed to be landfill debris.

    I switched to a wire after that.
