They broadly arent really very techy and absolutely hate the idea of anything new. So nah they broadly hate federation and adopting any new platforms.

Especially given that the fediverse already has a culture of being actively anti racism and hate they wouldnt be able to move here without getting instantly defederated and they know this. I’m sure the leftypol commies are already here.

If you subscribe to someone on tumblr then yes. Otherwise i dont think so.

3 hrs is probably to long to be doing everyday but its fine to do an hour of running + yoga every day. I think its normal to feel tried because you’re working every day and its your first 6 months.

If you’re tired you can drop it down to 4 days until you feel better.

I’ll make sure to sprinkle in a few posts that say “ignore my post history I am not a terrorist. Grant me access to your country NOW!”

Just in case I have the misfortune of traveling to the US again.

No I think even if they did that I wouldnt trust it. The protocol is 100% controlled by a profit seeking company. That means it will 100% turn into a platform that tries to monitize its users for all theyre worth. Public benefit corporation is a meme and has no actual restrictions.

I think the technical imperfections are not the real reason people are against it. In my opinion it just can’t be trusted to have a corp in control. It would be like having Microsoft own the activity pub repo.

I dont like ray traced lighting, it doesnt feel right and isnt worth the performance cost. I do like raytracing for sound. Scenes look better when they’re handcrafted.

Upscaling sucks. It looks so bad. But the tech is really cool and it allows people to run games at higher fps (only if they have a card with a ton of ai cores).

This may be a dumb question.

Why are we wasting time and money fighting over a legal clause in a piece of free and open source software? Can someone explain why someone would need to sue mastodon? I dont understand what rights people feel they need to demand from mastodon because you always have the option to use it how you choose.

Its expensive to draft and consult lawyers even when its pro bono. It expends time from mastodon project and the lawyers and there is only a finite amount of pro bono work the lawyers are willing to give.

I clean all the rubbish and leaves out of all the drains on my street and the nearby park so it doesnt flood every time it rains and saves the council sending someone out to do it.

Its fun and I like doing it.

Fair, there is no reason not to.

Yeah this will do absolutely nothing.

There are a few in my country and theyre filled with the craziest hippies

A big problem with the data collection is how hidden and one sided it is. On here its out in the open, we say how it works and the data is available for anyone. On Facebook its hidden for users to speculate on what’s being collected and only Facebook and the people they sell it to have access.

Data is very useful for making cool tools that enhance user experience and it can also be dangerous. I think the fediverse is privacy conscious enough to find the right balance.

Personally i dont think we’ve found it and need to do more to preserve privacy.

Nothing comes close to a crispy glass of cool water

I’m already paying my instance and lemmy and kinda loyal to it. I’d alsp like to properly support the software i use before trying to support content creators. One day in the future something like communick would be appealing.

The website says 20% of the profit is donated? Does that mean to charities?

The thing is that ads pay almost nothing. I’d be very happy to pay 4x what an ad would pay. But the problem is I can’t sent 0.12 to someone when I watch their video because 50% of that is gobbled up by transaction fees. So the only option is to bulk donate which either requires pooling money in a 3rd party or the user donating a bulk amount ($10). Users really dont like giving away $10 when it feels like they get nothing in return. Its all mental but its a very real problem. We will pay for $10 of dogshit food but not $10 for a software product we’ve used for 100s of hours.

Dam that was a great video. She’s a killer videographer

Yea

You do not want to pull agro on a mob of internet gooners.

Listenbrainz is trying to tackle open source recommendations. Its not to bad.
