When you make a community whose key promise is providing a safe space for marginalized groups, is it not your duty to actually make good on that promise?

To Beehaw, following through on that is more important than growing as fast as possible. People who want growth at all costs shouldn't use Beehaw.

How is this false story still getting pushed to the top?

We literally just had a thread about it earlier this week. It was debunked.

The same story came up years ago, and it was debunked then too.

People will just believe anything these days.

PWAs always feel way clunkier than a proper native iOS app.

I fully believe the reason Apollo was the best Reddit app, period, is because it was 100% native and fully embraced all the design patterns used throughout the rest of iOS. No amount of flashy CSS or fancy javascript frameworks can fully re-create that level of cohesion.

They were never profitable and can never be profitable because the fundamental concept of what they do is thoroughly flawed

I actually don't believe this part. Reddit isn't profitable because they have 2,000 employees on their payroll when they could probably get by with < 500. They hired all these engineers, and then put them on go-nowhere projects like NFTs, rather than improving their core platform.

If Reddit actually put that effort into making their app comparable to something like Apollo, I have no doubt plenty of users wouldn't have minded shelling out for Premium instead of paying a similar price for a third party product. Hell, if they came out tomorrow and tied third party app API access to Reddit Premium membership, they might even turn profitable overnight.

There's a Lemmy instance perfect for you then: exploding-heads.

We are more than welcome to decide what behavior is and isn't appropriate in our own community. If you don't like it, then you don't have to be here. You aren't entitled to our friendship.

None of these problems are really dealbreakers for a consumer-oriented file system in 2023. Not even ext4 supports CoW. Now that everyone boots off an SSD, things like file fragmentation no longer matter, and most of NTFS' continued slowness has more to do with Windows itself than the actual file system.

ReFS is Microsoft's new file system meant for more advanced use cases. It supports many but not all of these advanced features. Starting with Windows 11, you can actually boot off a ReFS drive, though I'm not sure that is a recommended configuration.

In this case, the problem was solved over 60 years ago. This billionaire decided to reject the tried and tested solution and came up with their own.

People have been saying these things since 2020 and it has convinced me that people in online gaming forums are out of touch.

Here's my argument against the Series X though:

• It has nothing I can't play on my PC. Even though Sony has started releasing their games on PC, their ports usually come years later. I don't hold this against Microsoft though, I'm more than happy to play games like Halo on PC instead of buying another console.

• Sony console exclusives are better and more numerous than Xbox exclusives. This has been the case since the Xbox One.

• The DualSense is a way cooler controller. I'm pretty miffed that the Xbox controller still doesn't have a gyroscope, When utilized properly a gyroscope makes aiming in shooters a lot easier.

So the way I see it, there isn't much reason to buy a Series X beyond its awesome backwards compatibility.

Have they? VRR support in Linux is still a total crapshoot in my experience. VRR doesn't work at all with multiple displays in X.

Microsoft owns Mojang, but by most accounts they are very hands-off with the company. I don't think Microsoft proper had any input on this decision.

Xbox controllers are a good common denominator. All the platforms you mention have official support for them.

Most recommended alternatives you will find simply emulate an Xbox controller for this reason.

The best part about this is that the people wanting to turn the country into Saudi Arabia 2.0 have a tendancy to spread conspiracy theories about the other side imposing sharia law...

At first I thought "damn, what kind of socially defective moron upvotes a comment like this", then I checked the activity and saw that you upvoted your own comment.

The bigger problems Apple has are their enterprise device and user management, and the fact that many businesses are still reliant on Windows-only software.

Most companies I've worked for buy machines that usually aren't much cheaper than Apple equivalents, at least in terms of MSRP, despite the quality often being worse. My work-provided 2022 HP Z-Book 15 is more expensive as configured than my personal M2 14" MacBook Pro, and is still a shittier machine in just about every objective (and subjective) way I can think of. This is because enterprises typically buy business class laptops like Lattitudes and ThinkPads rather than lower cost (and less durable) consumer oriented machines. That said, it is not uncommon for IT departments at large enterprises to pay well under MSRP for these machines when buying in bulk.

It has me conflicted. On one hand, fuck Oracle. On the other hand, we need projects like Alma and Rocky.

I don’t really like Destiny as a game, but the way Bungie has been handling their community is top notch. I love their low tolerance for bullshit. Other developers should be taking notes.

I’d rather watch Twitter burn under Musks feet.

You're entitled to your opinion, but the consensus among the medical and scientific communities is that you are wrong. They are the experts here, not you. At some point, blindly repeating falsehoods based on prejudice stops being an avenue for constructive debate and instead just wastes everybody's time and makes people angry for no reason.

You're advocating against life-saving treatments. Of course you're going to get shit on.

Is Reddit winning? It seems too early to tell.

Their refusal to change doesn't mean they are succeeding. The absolute mess that /r/all became over the weekend is already hurting their ability to sell ads.

Even if Reddit removes all the moderators from these thousands of protesting subreddits and replaces them with people willing to tow the line, that will only stem the bleeding short-term. As the most talented moderators and creators continue leaving the platform, Reddit will slowly lose it's ability to produce content that keeps people reading.

Digg and Myspace didn't die in a week.

Linus Tech Tips recently did a video where they go over the cost and complexity of running something like YouTube.

Frankly I’m surprised 4k video wasn’t locked behind Premium from the start.

Part of me wonders if YouTube could have scaled up more gracefully if they pushed a subscription option earlier (and priced it better, I hate how it’s bundled with a music service I don’t want).

Ads fucking suck, but I think most people recognize they are a necessary evil in order to run any kind of free social video platform at a meaningful scale.

Importantly, "free speech" is about government, not privately owned spaces.

We believe the government should not be given the power to censor speech, because people are born into it without a choice. Governments could use this power nefariously, and their citizens would have no meaningful recourse.

Nobody is born into Reddit or kbin or Lemmy. If someone doesn't like the rules of a given instance, they are welcome to leave and free themselves of this burden.

You really think most people sign up with throwaway email accounts?

I don’t like having cavities.

I don’t want to lose most of my teeth and have to wear dentures in my 60s.

The cleaning I get every 6 months is able to remove crap that regular brushing and flossing doesn’t.

I prefer Farenheit for weather and celsius for everything else.

0 being "really fuckin cold outside" and 100 being "really fuckin hot outside" has a natural intuitiveness. But when you're cooking or doing science or engineering, normalizing your scale around the phases of water is a lot more handy.

I hate the dumpster fire that is “definitive edition” as much as the next person, but…

It’s not $60 for San Andreas, that’s the price for all three bad remasters.

It’s not an ENB mod, actual artists made new shittier assets, and developers poorly ported the game to a new engine.

And this horse was already beaten into a fine paste over a year ago.

Memmy is an iOS app so no Google needed.

It was because lemmy.world was experiencing explosive growth and did not have a good mechanism in place to limit spam and troll accounts. This combined with Lemmy's still infant moderating tools made it difficult for Beehaw to contend with the influx of lemmy.world users who were harassing beehaw users.

A mutual decision was made between both beehaw and lemmy.world to temporarily defederate while the moderation tools are worked on. They fully intend to re-federate once these tools are in place, as both instances have a fairly similar attitude towards harassment and hate speech.

There was no disagreement between the admins of beehaw and lemmy.world

Did nobody read the article? Nowhere does it say they would make Windows cloud-only. They're talking about renting out virtual machines.

Free boosts for everyone!

What rules did these subreddits break in order for Reddit's actions to be justified here?

2 and 3 are probably straight ports of the Xbox 360 versions, which I thought were fine.

And then proceeded to post no content or comments. Definitely suspicious.

The whole reason for this big migration is Reddit taking away mod tools. If you think Lemmy isn’t going to support things like this then you are in for a bit of a surprise.

Discord provides free hosting.

Everyone talking about alternatives like Revolt or Mumble does not realize how big of a deal that actually is.

All of mine start with 0 unless I click the up arrow

The problem is that we are reaching a point where it is cheaper to achieve the same or better results with OLED or microLED than by dumping even more money into improving LCD.

We are already at a point where OLED provides a straight up better value than LCD in higher end price brackets as long as peak brightness is not your #1 priority.

anti-competitive and, well, evil, as Oracle used to be.

Used to be?

They're just people looking for attention.

Yet Another Chromium forK

I think they're complaining about the headphone jack. But the reality is most people didn't even care, it's a problem solved with a $5 dongle that just lives on your earbuds.
