A mild copyright violation based on a system designed around the constant distribution of copies of things is NOT a parable about sexual violence, people.

I feel like this extremely insensitive rape take is the fediverse’s version of the Godwin Law.

Probably like this stuff: https://lanua.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/La-Nua-100ml-Naturally-Flavored-Cucumber-Aloe-Water-Based-Lubricant-Front-Gray-BG.jpg

This reference is so old, that Johnny 5 must be dead by now.

Today I learned I’m a fabulous dish!

The fediverse has a built-in search engine?

I can only comment on my experience searching for communities in lemmy and people to follow on mastadon, but in both cases I am not sure I’d say “works quite well” would describe my experience.

But also that’s not what I think OP was talking about.

They want a search engine for a random fact like google. It’s been long true that you need to add “reddit” to the end of any google search to find the info you needed.

It’d be nice to have a fediverse alternative.

The link seemed to work for me from lemmy. I see three posts there when I click it at least.

Those well-meaning-but-terrible-in-practice consumer protection laws are probably a good indicator of why the EU isn’t a hub of technological innovation.

They’re at least a symptom of the same underlying outlook on the industry.

I don’t know the answer but they pointed this out further in the press release:

However, it’s also important for us that Mastodon is one of the few, if not the only social media platform that operates out of the EU, and we would like to keep it that way.

I’d assume that this is for a reason, too. If it were advantageous to run your company out of the EU people would probably do so sometimes.

This is absolutely right. It’s reductive of me to say that recycling is bad for the environment; intentionally reductive.

People generally have a very hard time absorbing the fact that plastic recycling is a scam, so it’s hard to start nuanced to actually get the point across.

But you definitely nailed it. I would argue that if it was reduce, reuse, revolt, the environment would be in a much better place.

Recycling was actively brought forward as a solution by the oil companies to push the blame of plastic use onto consumers.

So while recycling rare metals is always valuable, plastic is definitely not. Almost all plastic gets buried in landfills, and the only way to make this not happen is to not make products with plastics.

By creating and marketing plastic recycling as a solution that the consumers must take onto themselves, it allowed them to rake in profits by moving everything to cheap plastic alternatives.

We are now literally made of microplastics as a result.

I’m fond of saying that recycling is almost exclusively bad for the planet. It’s true and people don’t like hearing it.

As the London devs even said, they are really excited for this new content and performance update, and they asked you to put down your pitchforks.

This is going to be a setback for the modding that has been done, for sure. That is the contract the mod community understands when they build their creations. It’s very evident at every step of the way that you are not using consumer grade products with ABI guarantees.

But Bethesda has publicly stated they went out of their way to try to reduce breakage of mods this time compared to the skyrim anniversary version. So we have to wait and see what that means.

But if you want to hold back performance improvements for everyone because a small niche within the modding scene will have to update their mods to work, that’s not a reasonable ask.

I can almost guarantee that more people care about the free next gen update of Fallout 4 than will ever play the Fallout London mod.

I’m legitimately excited for the Fallout London Mod, so this isn’t meant to minimize it, but modding, even in Bethesda games, is a much smaller niche than people on here seem to think.

Bethesda is legitimately doing something good for the game, for free, and they announced it two years in advance.

The only upsetting part of this is that they recently announced a launch date and it is coincidentally close to when Fallout London was planning to release.

If that one coincidence wasn’t happening, then nobody would be complaining about this pretty cool free update.

At least not until after it releases.

Aww a catapult, I wanted a peanut!

I went to the article expecting rage inducing decisions based on your comment, but your TLDR has no relation to the article whatsoever.

The article is pretty glowing about Threads and Mastodon, and its author seems to be excited by them being connected through federation. They seem hopeful that they can use Mastodon to continue to enjoy their Threads communities.

They also claim that the default Threads experience is way better than the default Mastodon one, especially for the average user, but the API of Mastodon makes for a way better experience in terms of third party clients and tools.

They were able to consume the Threads content chronologically instead of through the algorithmic For You feed that none of us want.

Generally this is the first article posted I’ve seen that was talking about this from a UX perspective, as well as from a Threads user’s perspective, and I found it interesting to read.

Ok. So call me when it’s ready.

I am unimpressed by the nonsense articles like these coming out about early tech.

You won’t convince me that AI can’t exceed “taking an arrow to a knee” quality dialogue repeated over and over, and that shit is still the best immersion we’ve got!

By allowing emulators on the app store… Apple Bad?

And maybe don’t give legal advice.

And read up on your very recent history on topics before you talk about them?

Streaming companies pay streaming license deals for the content they stream.

They have distribution rights. Which you and I do not.

The RIAA is evil enough to kick a grandmother in the face because she remembered her wedding song if it meant they could make a buck.

Many were sued into oblivion, and of the big names, only Apple, which negotiated with the record labels before launching the feature, still has one going.
