  • What's a song where you like a remix or cover better than the original?

    Jump

  • You've just said what I've been thinking all these years. Except the video. I think that might be why people praised it. They knew he didn't have long to live and the video is pretty heartbreaking when you think he might have chose the song because he was bitter about losing everything he ever worked for.

    IMHO, the cover sucked but I do think it was from the heart.

  • Literally exactly how it works, too.

  • We need to stop putting /s after jokes. It just helps bots. Humans are able to spot satire and facetious comments.

  • If they had parents like that "no stress" wouldn't be on that list.

  • Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse

    Jump

  • This is weird ass article. It's like the author has never used an Internet forum before and didn't understand how the Internet works.

    Don't stop at the Fediverse. Keep going. You've only just begun.

  • I used to make websites back in the 2000s. Hit trackers collected this info back then too. Knowing screen resolutions is useful for designing the website. Knowing all this info in general is helpful. If 99% of your visitors are coming from the US with a screen resolution of 1080p and are using Firefox, you know not to worry too much about making the site compatible with Netscape Navigator, 640x480 monitors, and translating everything to French.

    I am surprised by this site knowing my graphics card. I don't know why modern web developers would need to know that. I've been out of the game so long. Perhaps it's useful info.

    Edit:

    I'm also always surprised/saddened that today nobody on the Internet seems to know anything at all about making websites. This kind of thing was common knowledge back in the 2000s.

  • I'm pretty sure they're joking.

  • What is the coolest website you’ve visited that no one knows about?

    Jump

  • https://www.gutenberg.org/

    It's been around for half a century and nobody knows about it. It's like a world wonder, a modern Library of Alexandria.

  • Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027

    Jump

  • So this works perfectly and has no bugs, right? There's probably going to be millions of false positives everyday and people won't be able to use their cars. Between this and AI age verification and everything else, the dumbass politicians in power seem to think all this shit is magical wizardry. Their going to cause society to collapse.

  • PlayStation is planning to add age verification to its consoles

    Jump

  • They're doing this because of OSA. I'm starting to wonder if the end game here is like the one for tobacco, where it will be illegal for anyone born before 2008 to use the Internet.

  • I hear this comment in Moe Szyslak's voice.

  • Hey there

  • I was given some kind of gas once for surgery and I found it hard to breathe. I told the nurses around me that I thought I was having a panic attack and the anesthesiologist chuckled, "It's okay. I'm giving you something for that." Then I was out.

  • Meta found liable in child exploitation case

    Jump

  • I wish. If that were true, we wouldn't have nasty-ass fire-safe cigarettes and they wouldn't cost 15 bucks a pack. I could buy Macanudo cigars for a dollar. I could see Pornhub in Texas without having to sign up for an account. If they think it will protect the children, they'll wipe Amazon clean off the map.

  • Meta found liable in child exploitation case

    Jump

  • For now. But the US is planning to pass it's own version of OSA.

  • Meta found liable in child exploitation case

    Jump

  • How does the Fediverse do it better and would that appease the jury in a civil or criminal trial? Those are questions to consider. Perhaps it's all good. I certainly hope so.

  • Meta found liable in child exploitation case

    Jump

  • I don't think that will save it. I'm barely profitable and cops still give me tickets. Times are changing. Governments are coming down hard on the Internet. OSA in the UK forced Urban Dead to shut down. I would have to think admins running instances are feeling a little nervous.

  • Meta found liable in child exploitation case

    Jump

  • I mean the instances. If a kid here in Technology dies, whoever is running this place is on the hook now. And also lemmy.world. I'm still fuzzy about how the Fediverse works, but a scapegoat will be found. This is running on somebody's computer.

    But also any type of social media in general. We're heading towards any place where people can talk to each other online will be illegal in order to protect the children.

  • Meta found liable in child exploitation case

    Jump

  • Everyone here is cheering this on but the Fediverse is next. If a kid here offs themselves or gets trafficked, that's all she wrote.

  • I think it's fairly new, but when you use search, there's a list of filters at the top now like All, Videos, Unwatched, Watched, Recently Uploaded, etc. If you click video, it will only list videos with no shorts.
