I’m with you but I wouldn’t trust search results that point me to a 3rd party tool to do whatever I need to do. Unless the link in question is actually well known and I’ve just been living under a rock, then don’t mind me

Perfect!

I don’t think there’s a big problem by using upvotes, downvotes and comments as systems that can show the popularity or controversy of a post.

Imo the bigger problem is in the comments using the same voting system. For starters, everyone the system in a different way. Most notably example is downvoting to disagree.

Secondly, because we are evolutionary wired to try and fit in, you either consciously or subconsciously try to create a comment that will give you the best chances at seeing the numbers go up and receive validation from your peers.

Personally I think the system is fine to keep running under the hood to keep the sorting algorithms available and maybe for moderation purposes, but it would be great if we wouldn’t be able to see them at all as to not be influenced by the connections we make between votes and post content.

In this case by hitting create post, it triggers the permissions for mic/camera because it tries to activate them.

As to why, it’s probably because they want you to create videos, so it defaults to that when trying to create a post. And then in there, you can go for a text post instead. But I don’t use Instagram so I don’t know if anyone who does can confirm that.

Ohh! As a European I do know the difference between those two types. It just didn’t click that they got it wrong, I thought they had the feathers wrong (like part of the wrong native American tribe or something)

As a European I will admit I have no idea what’s “wrong” with the picture. Other than it just looking like a mouthpiece for people instead of actually reporting things

If done well it’s called constructive feedback, not bad communication.

The problem is that many folks feel like it’s the only feedback tool in the toolbox, and the praises can seem less sincere over time, as some managers think they need to find something positive every single time. This can make it less efficient or sincere, so it’s good to have some variety.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but they are basically saying that you wouldn’t be a good fit with the team.

Now as for the exact reasoning they will probably not tell you, as ambiguous rejections are easier to manage. But to me that sounds like they think you need guidance / support that they cannot offer (read: don’t have the budget for).

Not saying I agree with any of it, mind you. Just giving my interpretation

In a way that scares me, but it would explain how we have so many different ways of looking at life.

It’s 6% of revenue, not profit. So it cuts even more into profits as it doesn’t allow a company in breach of regulations to reduce the impact of the fine by adding expenses that will temporarily lower their profit.

Even more spicy, they can also impose periodic penalties up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover for each day of delay in complying. That shit can bankrupt you.

Still didn’t sell any data. And they completely removed OpenAI collaboration from the platform after experimenting with it.

Discord.

I will probably get downvoted because Lemmy has a hate boner for Discord, but they don’t sell any user data.

Could have made Darwin proud that day. Alas, a slap on the wrist in the form of a $600 fine and they live to harass another whale in the future.

Really should have gotten some time in a cell to reflect on his stupidity

Keyword being “trying”

SEO

It might be the perspective but fuck they are shooting so low in the footage of blowing up the Ukrainian UAV that they seem to be hitting the residential buildings behind

Thanks chief, that was quite entertaining to read.

I don’t object against paywalled articles/websites in general, but if you’re sharing something accessibility is kinda important.

What’s the point in sharing paywalled articles?

Remember that reddit bot that would repeat the parent comment in all caps when someone said “what?” or a variety thereof? Good times.

I did. Those usernames are too distracting and shout “look at me!”, so I’m filtering all of them.
