  • Twitter's Traffic Falling Relative to Bluesky

    Jump

  • Bridgy Fed exists to act as a bridge between AP and ATProto/blue sky if you want to use ATProto from Mastodon. Sadly, though, the bluesky user has to also follow the bridge for you to be able to see their posts from mastodon.

  • Are you in support of UBI?

    Jump

  • UBI would have some inflationary effects, but if you stuck it through, it would be less than the UBI payment in the first place.

    The problem is getting people to stick to it because unfortunately, for Americans, if you give them $2000 a month in UBI but their purchasing power doesn’t go up by what they perceive as what $2000 is worth; they will punish you in the next election.

    I think the expanded child tax credit in 2020 could be a good example to follow for what the roll out of UBI would look like. But we let it expire despite it lifting so many kids out of poverty even if just temporarily and freaked out about inflation so hard that I have my doubts that our American society would ever have the fortitude to be able to implement a permanent UBI

  • Funny you should mention that, the UHC killer killed 300 bugs in civ iv during his internship with the dev according to his resume.

  • Archive storage is relatively cheap. It’s the bandwidth and compute required to serve video that is expensive

  • Ubisoft to Shut Down ‘XDefiant,’ Nearly 300 Employees Laid Off as San Francisco and Osaka Game Studios Close

    Jump

  • If devs want to make an alternative to CoD, they need to make a fun single player FPS first and make a small but fun multiplayer component.

    The problem is that publishers see the dollar signs from CoD and Fortnite and want to make a MP scam game without realizing that gamers only want to be scammed by Fortnite and CoD because they were actually fun before they became a scam.

  • Millenials and Zoomers experience decision fatigue differently (And what it means for Lemmy)

    Jump

  • To be fair I don’t talk about Reddit/Lemmy front ends with anyone except in meta discussions as well.

    I used Apollo/use Voyager as well, my experience in the early days after the API migration on the voyager community was that most people used the compact view and card view was more for iPad usage

  • Millenials and Zoomers experience decision fatigue differently (And what it means for Lemmy)

    Jump

  • Without seeing actual statistics, both accounts are anecdotal. But it’s my experience that I have had a lot less interaction of people who prefer new Reddit and a lot more with people who prefer old Reddit. Many Lemmy instances host old Reddit inspired front ends. I’m not aware of a single front end for Lemmy that strives to emulate new Reddit

  • Millenials and Zoomers experience decision fatigue differently (And what it means for Lemmy)

    Jump

  • Something I hadn’t considered to possibly be generational. When I was on Reddit, it was always old Reddit. I can’t imagine anyone using card view, I thought maybe that existed for iPads or devices with large screens.

    I also don’t see appeal in instagram or TikTok like the author though as well.

    I don’t necessarily get the consideration of “decision fatigue”. If you chose not to decide you still have made a choice. The choice then of allowing the app to just show you whatever can’t really be put on decision fatigue in my opinion.

  • All the other brands went along

    Jump

  • Come to think of it, all the USB C cables I have are from phone and device chargers so I just took it for granted. Good to know. Thanks for sharing some knowledge with me

  • How decentralized is Bluesky really?

    Jump

  • It’s not exactly decentralized if you use the official relay only, just distributed which is a different concept entirely

  • All the other brands went along

    Jump

  • Do not all USB C cables have the capability to do Power Delivery? I thought it was up to the port you plugged it in to support it?

  • 'I have no money': Thousands of Americans see their savings vanish in Synapse fintech crisis

    Jump

  • That changes everything. That’s dirty pool, shouldn’t have been allowed by SEC/Fed or who ever their regulator was

  • 'I have no money': Thousands of Americans see their savings vanish in Synapse fintech crisis

    Jump

  • The FDIC coverage wouldn’t be what they would be worried about. They wouldn’t have their accounts much above FDIC limits.

    My point is that the FDIC serves to prevent a banking crisis that would limit their ability to liquidate their assets and realize their wealth

  • 'I have no money': Thousands of Americans see their savings vanish in Synapse fintech crisis

    Jump

  • I realize that my comment does sound really harsh. And there definitely should be criminal penalties for falsely advertising that they were an FDIC covered institution and a best effort to return the funds

    But (again I am being harsh again) there is risk in putting your money in a faceless app instead of a brick and mortar institution and there needs to be some personal accountability for making bad decisions

  • The rebellion will be federated

    Jump

  • The platform splits literally don’t matter.

    1. That’s the point of open source, being able to make your own fork.
    2. The backend is AP not Lemmy, Kbin, mastodon, or piefed

    The fragmented ecosystem of ideas doesn’t really exist except in a few servers such as beehaw, lemmygrad, and hexbear. Beehaw and hexbear don’t even care about federation.

  • 'I have no money': Thousands of Americans see their savings vanish in Synapse fintech crisis

    Jump

  • They are against things like the CFPB but they aren’t getting rid of the FDIC which is the good faith backing of the US banking system. The 1% isn’t so liquid that they wouldn’t lose huge amounts of money with a full scale banking crisis

  • 'I have no money': Thousands of Americans see their savings vanish in Synapse fintech crisis

    Jump

  • Isn’t that what they signed up for when they put their money in a nonFDIC insured account?
