It won’t just be electric cars, it’ll be all new model cars from manufacturing companies. At least until ICE is phased out.

What really did it for me was Huffman’s quote on how “Reddit users, communities, and discussions are one of the largest data sets that cannot be given away for free” (summarized quote).

The rumored IPO made an entire corporation do a 180 so ruthlessly and clumsily in a way that I have never seen. It’s destroying itself and rightfully so.

What an insane 24 hours. Man just completely fucked Putin and the government and shoots to Belarus.

Maybe didn’t get the support he needed?

Seriously. Imagine the developers who sunk all of their time, effort, and money to make great and beloved 3rd party apps for these platforms to see it completely screwed over in the span of mere months by people who do not understand what made these platforms unique and successful.

Havnt checked so honestly wouldn’t know. Now that I think of it, it’s kind of crazy that Kbin replaced it so easily for me and I am on it far less (which is a good thing tbh).

It’s also testament to how good the experience here has been so far. And how crap reddits response as been.

All this will do is piss off creators due to monetization reasons, lead them to complain against YouTube, forcing YouTube to change their monetization process, which will lead to again changing the way videos are made.

And at the end, they will find a way to again shove ads in your face more efficiently.

Leaving the capital when Wagner still hasn’t reached it. Not a good look.

Exactly. Reddit itself should be a case study. Lemmy and Kbin offer an opportunity to build something great and learn from what made current Reddit (the good and the terrible) what it is and some things to avoid.

No one knows who or what would come out of a power vacuum, but history tells us it’s usually a more hardline and extreme result. With some of the reports coming out of more hawkish elements within the Russian government adding more and more pressure on Putin to take further measures in mind, it can be a major cause for concern.

This guy is a founder of Reddit right? One seriously has to wonder what the hell happened. The damage control by Reddit so far has been nothing short of shambolic and in large part because of their treatment of its users.

I mean, it’s like he’s never browsed Reddit before.

This is the generation that has been raised in the “attention economy” of social media companies trying their absolute hardest to keep them engaged on their screen.

Sitting down and reading a book requires attention and focus that many of todays youth find very difficult to do.

The amount of Chromebooks that go to waste in K-12 schools is insane. So it is nice to see Google taking action on this, especially since its largest market are schools.

Jury is till out it’s way too early to tell. The fediverse seems very unrefined still (which I kind of enjoy tbh). If its truly going “save the internet”, a lot of refining needs to be done in order to attract at a mainstream scale.

It’s been really refreshing so far though.

Just cancelled prime a few days ago and yea it was a pain. I love all the small shady crap like using a grey text box for the “cancel membership” button and the blue one for “resume membership” followed by another page full of reasons why you shouldn’t cancel and double checking to make sure you know your losing the benefits. I swear it might’ve been a total of 4-5 pages.

Side note, more companies need to be held accountable for this as well. There are a lot of streaming services that do the same thing.

Yes, it has been fun adding and contributing to the small and bigger communities on here alike. Not to mention that there have been more constructive conversations as well.

I differ with your view in that I’m looking forward to having more people join and seeing these communities grow. As of now, the platform is still pretty niche (which is nice) but the fediverse can be built in a flexible way to give users the power in what they want to see and block.

being on here made me realize of what has been missing from reddit for years now. This is a refreshing site, hopefully it continues to grow.

And the awards as well. I mean the amount of new awards I have seen introduced in Reddit just in the past 3 years has excessive and kind of cringeworthy tbh.

Deleted my previous comment I was unaware of such a resolution but you and previous commentators are correct. Statement on “nuclear cloud” has been made by NATO as a red line, which is terrifying.

Oh in no way am I saying that Google is a good guy here. I’m sure that if it were up to them, they would keep the current status quo.

They are only doing this due to the pressure they’re getting for their poor track record of supporting their devices. But it is still a step in the direction nonetheless.

You can try changing appearance theme found in the settings (gear) icon towards the bottom. Helped with differentiating comments.

I do agree that UI needs improvement which will eventually come.

Megaman without a doubt. Regular and X.

Twetbot (which I used personally and loved), Tweetdeck, and Twitterrific to name a few. They have been around for a while (some over a decade).

Yea this is sketchy AF. Not to mention concerning due to its potential implications. Going to be interesting how not only YouTube but other platforms deal with this.

“Capitalism on the way up, socialism on the way down”

School districts are quick to buy Chromebooks and go "1:1", but cheap out on IT and cybersecurity.

There was a definite change in the way discourse was had in r/politics, r/news, among others over the years. But I would say that’s just a societal thing as of late.

Unfortunately, I do believe it’ll happen here eventually.

That’s a potential solution but the problem is that IT departments in schools are replacing them when they reach EOL in regards to security patches (since testing software isn’t supported). While there may be people interested, I can’t see many wanting to buy chromebooks that won’t be getting security patches and are sluggish.

Agreed. This and Googles announcement last month of supporting new chromebooks for 10 years is a step in the right direction.

On what grounds exactly? Their incompetence is what gave Meta the opening to launch a competitor to begin with.

Really is a shame that to get AC in your delivery trucks among other simple benefits would require such an action.

Welcome. It’s good to know that your comments won’t get deeply buried in a thread that was posted 15 min ago. It’s still a small community so there’s a great chance of good interaction (at least in my experience using it for a few days now).

Pharma: $$$

It really is unfortunate all throughout if you live outside any major metro areas. I live in a town where there is only one ISP due to regulations listed in the article.

Monthly fees for internet is unnecessarily high for low (but adequate) speeds. The whole thing is anti-consumer.

With generative AI and it’s harmful impacts being the hot topic right now, I can see how the EU regulations are garnering so much attention and support right now. Even if they do pass the regulations, it’s still going to be important that other countries (US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, etc) get on board or I can easily see the EU being left behind in this space. Like you said, some sort of protections by the EU are going to be important.

With that said, I just don’t see how these regulations remain long term if there isn’t buy in from other countries.

WORKS like the old Wild West of Web 2.0

Well said

I’m hoping that now that we have seen a fair share of social media companies rise and fall and why they’ve fallen, many people will begin to find out what they are looking for in a social media network.

I just kept thinking of Abode Security

RSS feeds through Reeder on iOS. Get news from outlets like Ars Technica, The Verge, MIT Tech Review, NYT, among others.

Hasn’t even been a full week since I opened my account and the growth I have seen every day has been INSANE. From <50 upvotes, <20 comments, and <5 boosts 100+ upvotes and comments in the span of 5 days has been pretty cool to see.

Bingo. I couldn’t help but notice how many new industries US companies just got access to with these agreements. Also worth mentioning in a countries whose population just surpassed China’s.

Strange way of trying to “thaw” relations…
