Every platform and app I’ve seen does a piss poor job of explaining what federation is and how to sign up. “Wtf is mastodon.social?, Why is this one in German?, Why can’t I login after signing up?” New users just get confused and give up.

They’d have to implement ads eventually anyway. Companies do have budgets, and the money to run Threads has to come from somewhere.

Please do not pretend climate change is any one groups responsibility.

This happened in 2005 as well, except with 3 hurricanes; Francis, Ivan, and Jeanne. I doubt climate change has gotten better since then.

Are they stupid? In fairness, I don’t know how they’re making any money at all. I’ve never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn’t a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.

I couldn’t imagine putting 8 years of effort into a game only for it to bomb. But a least they got their paychecks.

These are awesome. Is imgur what you’re going to for posting images?

!idiotsincars@lemmy.world was always a slower sub on Reddit, but I’ve yet to find a good way to directly link to mp4s without shelling out $50 a month or relying on community supported sites. Even then I just found out Inline videos aren’t supported on all instances (lemmy.world | it works on lemm.ee), and even still, not every app is doing in-app playback.

Posts do get decent traction, but I don’t think we’re going anywhere until this video thing gets sorted out.

Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it. Gamers Nexus The people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.

When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn’t say “oh well”, and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren’t happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like “corpa boss” to me. Now I can’t tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.

I’m not even reading that article because, no. But I’m all for an award system here on lemmy. All money goes to the instance hoster and the user gets badges, maybe a highlighted name. The most gilded users get entered into a giveaway every month or so for something like a T-shirt.

That’s allows for the instances to sustain themselves and gives users more incentive to post, without stupid subscriptions and promoting content farming.

There’s no way they used Gemini and decided it’s better than GPT.

I asked Gemini: “Why can great apes eat raw meat but it’s not advised for humans?”. It said because they have a “stronger stomach acid”. I then asked “what stomach acid is stronger than HCL and which ones do apes use?”. And was met with the response: “Apes do not produce or utilize acids in the way humans do for chemical processes.”.

So I did some research and apes actually have almost neutral stomach acid and mainly rely on enzymes. Absolutely not trustworthy.

Yes, I tried the mastodon app probably about 4 years ago before I knew what federation was. I could not figure out how to sign up and ultimately gave up. There needs to be an app/website that explains it well and guides you through the process.

And honestly both bluesky and mastodon do a poor job if this.

Twitter allows porn now, no?

No sugar, but they are overwhelmingly sweet from sucralose.

It did neither though?

How many people have died from tequila?

Are you going to sue the coffee bean producers as well when you drink too many cups and die?

I swear this was supposed to release tomorrow

Crap, we’re actually supposed to read the article?
