Centralized tv show discussions with episode discussion threads. That hasn’t happened yet :/

Getting away with it? You know lightning came out like 4 years before USB-C, right?

They do different things. Microblog/follow people vs discussion forum/follow topics. Just because they share a protocol doesn’t mean it’s compatible at a practical or desirable level. I wouldn’t want microblogging coming to Lemmy personally.

This could bring a lot of new users based on the name of the app and past popularity. I don’t use the Play store but will this automatically update over the old Reddit app? Too bad Apollo didn’t pull the same thing.

I’ve been wondering about that too. Specifically how long can old posts persist, and how long are instances compelled to host older content especially from other servers.

I switched from hosting my own mail for close to 10 years to using Fastmail. The webmail client is much better than Rainloop and Roundcube. I like it better than Gmail TBH. I’m very happy with my decision, but I’m only hosting for me.

I also considered Proton, but it doesn’t satisfy a couple of your requirements. It is a good value though, and the privacy features are tops.

The best value I’ve seen by far is Microsoft 365. The webmail for Outlook is quite good and you can host your own client if you want and connect with IMAP. It’s especially a good value if you use the family plan. Bonus is you also get MS Office and a TB of storage. Downside: Microsoft. But 2024 MS isn’t the same as 2005 M$.

Whole Foods (by Amazon) already has e-ink price tags for everything. So not out of the realm of possibility.

You mean the Mengele effect?

Underrated

In the US, at least, if you’re looking for Myasaki films, they’re going to be on Max and not Netflix.

Pretty neat. This isn’t my area of expertise but I’ve been digitizing some of my families old home movies. The quality is obviously not great, so it’s interesting to hear there may be a reasonable way to improve them.

lol, what world are you living in? Yes, it’s better than retail, but for high skill jobs (which the government desperately needs) these things are not true.

• Random layoffs—sure, as long as you’re the right kind of employee
• Vacation is accumulated at an embarrassingly slow rate, especially for newer employees.
• pension. Right, but there are similarly no stock options or significant performance bonuses you find in the private sector
• you’d be surprised at the work schedules for government employees who aren’t admin assistants

Pay is so far behind still it isn’t funny.

Ok now do this one. What color is the donut country?

borrow a car.

Sources on any of this? Perhaps it works differently on Android.

The main thing which you miss though is that it has “the algorithm” down pat. While it knows I’ll watch cooking videos and videos of people yelling at cops, it doesn’t bother trying to show me things about Trump, etc. it is keeping me in my own custom echo chamber. I have no idea how it works so well.

Now imagine someone hell bent on believing things like the pizza molester stories or Jan 6th alt histories. This is a very effective tool for radicalizing people and reinforcing the “truth” they already suspect. It’s easier to divide people based on preconceived notions than trying to convince people of something new.

It used to exist, and it was glorious!

This is like year 3. How much more you think they’re gonna mature?

Have you seen those bullshit rerelease editions? SAD!

Does this work with videos that went from VHS to digital?

Yesssss.

Wefwef seems to be having trouble at the moment. Posting this from Mlem. Slowly though.

Agreed. Thanks for letting us nerd out

Yep. Totally got to watch that upgrade button!

Yesssss

Say more. I think this would be valuable to write out.

I used AirHub app recently traveling from the US to Europe, and it worked great. I’m not sure about long term use, probably expensive then, but for a couple of weeks it was brilliant.

Call me crazy, but I’ve never liked store bought pesto

Those are all part of the executive branch, and are subject to the executive.

Remote work situation is night and day what it was in many places since 2021

I see you’ve never seen a Dell BPA

More like Dell likes to appear premium:

• Crappy Dell Latitude, Price: $6995, YOUR PRICE: 2995.

And on the website it’s like a $1000 laptop. And it still falls apart one year later.

While I agree that the fingerprinting data is interesting, on iOS, TikTok doesn’t require any of those permissions as indicated. Some of the articles state that they are required, but they aren’t. As far as I know it isn’t possible, without a zero day of some sort, to access camera, sound, contacts, etc without explicitly granting those permissions.

That said, that is a lot of data, and for those that can be linked back to an individual. And I’m sure most people are less careful with permissions. The fingerprinting data is clearly powerful, and I find it extremely fascinating, since there is VERY limited input and such effective output.

Kettle != tea pot

Apple ProDOS yo! Then System 6 and on.

First Linux was a Debian disto packaged with Linux for Dummies somewhere in the late 90s/early 00s.
