It is not really an alternative. So many people here complaining about quality, and the constant desire for this not to become the new Reddit.
But that’s exactly what it needs to become. A place where mindless users can post the same silly crap every day, without getting shit for it. And without being rattled by entitled mods that feel they should be compensated for doing what they want to do.
Let communities talk and mods just be mods, not critics.
Probably language barrier. That figure of speech is not the easiest for Germans to grasp.
The first thing coming to mind is “we tried to add a checkbox, but failed, it just wouldn’t work”
To my German mind, failing means “trying and not managing it, giving up in the end.”
Failing to so somehing by forgetting doesn’t really make sense. :) How can you fail something you’ve never attempted.
It’s just a figure of speech, I know.
Have you read the article? It was about misrepresenting historical figures, racism was just a small part.
It was about favoring diversity, even if it’s historically inaccurate or even impossible. Something Disney is very good at.
It’s okay when Disney does it. What a world. Poor AI, how are they supposed to learn if all its data is created by mentally ill and crazy people. ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶
The opposite. Not found negatives. Anti-virus software can only tell you that it didn’t find a virus, not that there aren’t any.
People using an alternative to YouTube are already a very specific minority, and the percentage of those using a plugin on a specific client is even rarer. I wouldn’t go so far to call it a ballpark. Or even a rational source.
I would agree with you that the data would be highly suspect. It wouldn’t reflect reality at all and should really not be considered.
On the other hand, YouTube likes and dislikes have been a tool for ages, and they were manipulated. It was never more than a silly toy. It was never accurate data to begin with.
Because sponsoring doesn’t infringe on privacy, is usually controlled by the channel, and is often relevant.
It’s their accounts, you just have access to them. They can close the whole thing tomorrow.
I don’t even want to know what will happen when the valve guy retires. A publicly owned (edit: meant to write privately owned) company that could just shut down tomorrow. Many gaming publishers are aware, having their own launchers. Are you?
I’m telling you, root server, self-hosted everything and FOSS. If you can’t do your things with that, it ain’t worth doing anyway.
Still holding out for them to have a $10 a year tier with no added features. The $36 bucks a year entry fee is just too much.
Can someone here explain to me why so many free services directly jump to $3, $5 or $9.99 bucks a month? Why not $10 per year? Surely that’s better than nothing?
Just call it supporter tier and that’s it. I don’t want any icons or upload limits either. I just want to not feel like a leech. ;)
Or even worse:
Thanks. Send a complete log of every software on your system, two videos of the bugs in action, and a detailed analysis of what you’ve had for breakfast.
Possibly because many users coming to Lemmy are pissed off by something. It’s not a platform for fun users, but for grumpy old cats wanting their unachievable utopian discussion forum, where all behave the same as they do. ;)
Criticise lemmy and prepare for downvotes deluxe.
