  • The Really Dark Truth About Bots

    Jump

  • This is a fantastic video. I spend less and less time on Reddit now because every time I'm there I eventually get struck with a "this isn't real people" feeling after reading something. It will always be either mundane repetitive bullshit or yet another post demanding civil war or stoking a feeling of helplessness.

    Lemmy and Mastodon are slow AF but they still feel mostly real.

    Leopards ate Elon Musk's face

    Jump

  • I don't understand something in all this. Does anyone seriously believe he's railing against the giveaways to billionaires in this bill?

    Because as near as I can tell, what he's saying, and what every Republican who is rethinking this is saying when they say the bill gives them pause, is: the tax breaks are fine as per usual, the problem is the cuts don't go nearly far enough.

    Elon Musk appears to me to effectively be saying he will not rest until all social benefits in this country are completely and utterly done away with.

  • Proton joins suit against Apple for predatory practices that harm developers and consumers

    Jump

  • I hope that's a joke. Airpods could be a Fortune 500 company all on their own.

    No, I was serious, although after looking into it, I am surprised that hardware makes up 72% of their income. Perhaps they could make up the 28% software revenue shortfall with innovative new hardware and still maintain that 3.06T market cap, eh?

  • Proton joins suit against Apple for predatory practices that harm developers and consumers

    Jump

  • Proton cannot even link to FAQ or customer support pages from its apps, as Apple believes it’s possible that users will then navigate from the support page to a pricing page and upgrade their accounts without paying Apple its fee.

    I didn't realize this either.

    Yeah, this also is why Apple has been so sluggish on PWAs (and why they won't allow third party browsers). There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can't be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days. But how is Apple going to make any money if you can publish your own app and take your own payments? They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them as a company.

    Apple will throw everything they've got at this to attempt to maintain the status quo.

  • Any interest in a Lemmy community for Apple users who are fed up with Apple?

    Jump

  • No, but I don't use cloud at all, I have a system for doing manual local backups for all my machines. I also have two Windows machines for gaming (that I will be switching to Linux in October) and a Linux media server.

  • I subbed to salty caramel apple. Love the retro vibe.

    I stay several generations behind on purpose now. For one thing, shit costs too much. My Mac is a 2020 Air I got from a friend when his dad died for $300. I can't see myself getting rid of that anytime soon, as it replaced a 2012 model that is still going strong (and is the computer I take into the field for work).

    I cannot stand the size of Apple's phones, I had an 8 and then an SE and I tried then to move to a 12 and I absolutely hated everything about it, size, weight - the bullshit camera switching between lenses and turning my zoomed-in photos into bizarre cartoons.

    I also far prefer the button, as I have to take hundreds of pictures a day for work and FaceID fails, either by not waking the phone up when I pull it from the holster or by just outright not recognizing me in the sweat and sunglasses, making me have to manually open it, shake it, enter the code, swearing the whole time.

    I'm now on an SE2 and when I have to get rid of it I'll go to SE3, but I don't know what comes after that. Androids aren't any better.

  • TIL the pound was named because 240 Sterlings (pennies) weighed a pound.

    Jump

  • "Give me 240 Sterlings for a Pound," you'd say. Now where was I... ah, yes. The important thing was that I had a kipper in my waistcoat, which was the fashion at the time...

  • What's your LEAST favorite song

    Jump

  • Came here specifically to say "Black" FUCK I hate that song.

  • I'm not exactly sure - far from it - but I have this theory that we might be witnessing the death throes of religion (via its secularization) even though it doesn't quite look like it from the outside. All that repressed sexuality really fucks people up and when they get unmoored from it they go into a sort of psychic apoplexy, which is what we are witnessing. I'm grasping at straws here because goddamn is it weird rn.

  • Did you you notice the second "you" in the title of this post? How do you feel about (not) noticing it?

    Jump

  • I feel like a well oiled reading machine.

  • MTG accuses Trump of "bait and switch" over Iran strikes

    Jump

  • Trump comes out with a Tweet calling out "Horse Face Marjorie" and she falls right back into line licking his boots in 3... 2... 1

  • Then why would Krasnov be doing it?

  • Do you think Lemmy has a culture separate from Reddit or is it basically the same?

    Jump

  • Lemmy is how Reddit was in 2010. Size is what degrades the experience, the larger Reddit got the more shit it became. I am hopeful that federation will be the secret sauce that saves Lemmy from the same enshittification as it grows.

  • All right music fans, what's your favorite band/musician and how many times have you seen them live?

    Jump

  • Going to shows is a hobby of mine, I go to a lot of shows. But there is only one artist who I will never miss when he comes to town and it's Weird Al.

    I cannot express strongly enough to anyone reading this who has never seen Al: do it! It's an elaborate comedy show, you don't have to know a single song to enjoy it. It's always drop-dead hilarious and worth twice whatever you pay for it.

    Perhaps with the notable exception of his "Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tours" (there have been two so far, iirc) which are definitely more for the hardcore fans, though still funny as hell.

  • Been a good couple of years

    Jump

  • I never used RIF but I came over at the same time due to the fuckery over mods. I quit all my mod positions that day too, no more working for Reddit for free.

  • Every time I interact on reddit, I'm reminded about how superior my experience is every day on Lemmy. So I guess what I'm saying is "I don't see it." Oh, there are some assholes, alright - but they're the exception, not the rule.

    Also, the relative lack of bots. Reddit is so overrun with bots that in any mainstream sub a genuine opinion cannot help but be drowned in a sea of corporate sponsored bullshit.

    When and why did the US switch to these voting machines that are the subject of ongoing lawsuits and reports of unlawful "updates"?

    Jump

  • This is a way for the monied class to deflect criticism about the country's various failures to improve the situation for their citizens. Like healthcare, when you suggest that you want to do it like they do it in, say... Scandinavia, you always get a wave of a hand and a vaguely worded "yes well, this country is just too big for that. <insert country here> can only get away with that because of their tiny, homogenous population."
