I think due to our federated nature here we likely have a bit of an echo chamber effect where we are more likely to agree with each other. For starters you’re more likely to be using Lemmy if you understand tech.
Sharing these same thoughts on pretty much any platform with more active users, and I expect we’d see a lot of blood thirsty capitalists poor into the comments.
If post views are public that’s a fairly poor implementation on the developers part. I’m sure it will change over time.
E.g. someone using your account to view illegal content in a community you are not a member of, and you being held accountable.
As someone who’s currently managing a team, when skip levels try to circumvent me, it is the absolute worst.
I was discussing this in another thread, this is a bit of an overstatement.
While logs may track what you view on some instances, the data on who views what is not public and not accessible to anyone except perhaps some instance admins depending on how they store logs.
Votes are public on Lemmy, and I think long term that’ll be beneficial for the platform and users.
This is common enough for me, that I feel the english language needs a good new word to describe it.
I asked ChatGPT what word it would use to describe this experience, and here is what it came up with.
Certainly! I propose the word "lexidaze" (pronounced lex-ih-daze) to describe the feeling you've described. Here's the definition and usage example:
Word: Lexidaze
Part of Speech: Verb
Definition: The act of reading a book while being completely absorbed in the words, but failing to comprehend or process their meaning, resulting in a disorienting feeling of confusion about the plot. Example: As I delved deeper into the novel, I became so engrossed in the sentences that I started to lexidaze, losing track of the storyline and finding myself perplexed by the events unfolding before me.
I hope this newly created word captures the essence of the experience you were looking to describe! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
Not too bad then, at that point it just depends how they handle log storage on the instance you are visiting.
Thanks for clarifying.
You can modify exif data easily, but yea I think this could be verified in a myriad of ways to legitimize the photo.
This reminded me of my manager from a couple years ago. They too had cancer, and decided that they’d become a workaholic rather than take the time off that they needed. It also meant they expected everyone they worked with, to work just as hard. With just as many long hours as them.
It was a living nightmare, and ended very poorly. It would be nice if people had mandatory time off when experiencing such trauma in life.
What’s the playtime on this bad boy?
How come you are so awesome?
The best kind of tattle.
Morbid curiosity piqued, has a person ever been spaced? (Not just vacuumed)
What do you think is the most valuable coin that could possibly be in there?
Also what is the least valuable thing that makes a coin-like sound?
Seeing Mastodon’s blog post on Threads removed all optimism I had stored in this area.
Rather than being on a niche discussion thread online, it would be great if classrooms across the globe taught this tip as a practical skill to have instead. I bet it would go a long way if everyone had the chance to use a fire extinguisher in action before a fire broke out.
I was just providing a scenario that came to mind. I am sure many exist outside the one I described.
Nobody has mentioned crime, so I am not sure where that came from. Accountability can come in many forms, and often on the internet users will be banned or excluded based on their direct actions. However, if views were public, it would be trivial to setup a bot to autoban users from communities before they even join, based solely on what they’ve seen.
As I’ve explained elsewhere, this is just what popped into my mind.
Many scenarios exist where you view content you did not intend on viewing.
For example, have you ever been Rick Rolled?
As someone with immunocompromised family members this is great. I suspect this would be like an air quality alert in your area.
I imagine a text message could be available for your airport letting you know that Covid levels are high, allowing you to reschedule your flight or change your plans.
A paper trail for your master password, somewhere secure is good. Password manager companies have been breached in the past (see LastPass), so rotating your passwords and signing up for breach alerts will help save you from disaster.
You’re reading too much into my comment.
I am a software engineer, and am always thinking of user experiences in my day job. This is simply the scenario that popped into my mind, but many do exist.
Besides hacking, phishing scams, and pranks. Users trick others all the time into viewing content they didn’t mean to view.
My concern isn’t so much that this can happen at all, but rather that if views were public, how it’d be trivial to write software that auto bans users based on those views. Without great moderation tools, and petitioning it wouldn’t scale well.
It may be the case that every line of code of all self driving vehicles is not available for a public audit. But neither is the instruction set of every human who was taught to drive properly on the road today.
I would hope that through protesting and new legislation, that we will see the industry become more safe over time. Which we simply will never be able to achieve with human drivers.
While I don’t use a Samsung, I am over half way through my phones fifth year. Other than a battery replacement I’ve had literally no problems whatsoever.
If only lifespan and right to repair were written into law everywhere.
