  • I genuinely don't understand why anyone would put money behind this. I thought it insane when Musk first mentioned it. Can someone explain a single advantage of a space based data center? Even if it's not worth spending this kind of money on.

  • Ban on ‘surveillance pricing’ could threaten discounts, retailers warn

    Jump

  • I think they misunderstand what people are complaining about.People don't want discounts for one person while another gets overcharged. It's a good thing if it threatens discounts. Everyone wants to pay the same price for the same thing.

    Discounts can be annoying even when they're "fair"It's annoying when something was discounted yesterday, and now you have to pay more. Or when you just bought something last week, but now you could have saved a bunch because it's some arbitrary special day. Temporary discounts of any kind are inherently unfair and manipulative.

  • What to do about the spammy Reddit repost bots on Lemmy?

  • I don't often use the All feed.When I do, I want it All.

  • Typically, the promotional budget for a movie is roughly equal to its production budget. Add also the portion the theaters get. A $60M budget needs to take in at least $120M. Better $160M+. Any less and they loose money on the movie.

    Calling a $60M movie a success for grosing $100M, is wrong. The studio lost money on that movie. It might be a "success" for other reasons. But then it's budget doesn't matter to those reasons.

  • The European Social Stack — An open declaration

    Jump

  • I've heard of a few politicians making noise in this direction. Though they seemed unaware of the fediverse, and had no actual plan. This appears to be someone's imagination of how it could work.

  • I'm not impressed.AI agents are a dream.One that's pretty far from reality.

    They don't work at all right now, and there's no evidence they'll work reliably enough to be useful anytime in the next decade or more.

  • My favorite Trolly Problem solution, is keep the Trolly on the track with several people, then with a knife on a long pole stab the lone person on the other track. That way you get them all.

  • It's comfortable to call people monsters, and not have to think about why an ordinary person much like themselves could do sometthing horrible. You just get to put it out of your mind and move on.

  • Who can guess the episode?

  • Seven slapping The Doctor, I believe?Not sure about the distortion. Maybe a dream or something. That sounds familiar.

  • Who Wants Kamala Harris to Run?

  • Real question:What would AOC gain by spending time in the Senate?Or how specifically would it make her a better candidate?

    Regan, Clinton, Bush, Bush Jr, and Rump never spent time in the Senate.

  • People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)

  • It's possible, but a project.This is a good set of instructions on how to do it.

  • 1.org now the default search engine in WaterFox.

  • Sometimes.Usually it's just the "homepage" or the "Startup page", not the "New Tab page".

    I think Vivaldi is the only one right now, that lets you set an arbitrary New Tab page.

  • I also change the default search immediately with any new browser.I switch browsers a lot, and there are close to a dozen defaults I change right away.

  • Don't know.I've had a little extension to make home and new tab be an arbitrary URI of my choosing.

  • And the fediverse can work more or less exactly the same way for those people.

  • People want to go where the people are. Once people have found a spot it's extremely difficult to peel them away to another spot, because not many people are there. That's the real problem in getting people embracing the fediverse.
