If they’re really just after data at all costs, they could easily spin up an instance that has no apparent link to threads and federate secretly. I agree with other arguments about not federating with them but idk, all these data privacy arguments against federating with threads are so dumb. If they want it, they’ll get it because getting it is so absurdly easy.
Not sure what you mean. They can already pull any public data on lemmy, as can anyone else.
Definitely some of the best production value on youtube. Even his stuff from 10+ years ago holds up incredibly well aside from the resolution.
Welcome to lemmy. I hate big corporations but some of the people on this site will blame amazon when they stub their toe.
I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins!
They were probably just out and too busy to restock or something. It happens. Never been to a fast food place where they don’t provide napkins and I steal napkins from the taco bell I live near regularly. What a weird overreaction.
Google isn’t an ISP when it comes to youtube. Yes, they are an ISP in the context of Google fiber but this is completely different. It would be a violation of net neutrality if they slowed certain sites to fiber users.
Net neutrality is about ISPs though.
I’ve lucked out a couple times on flights to Europe from the US where I got the whole middle row of five seats to myself. Flights have been completely packed in recent years, though.
There are loads of Jews who are against what Israel is doing. The actions of a government don’t indicate the views of a whole ethnicity of people. It’s like calling all Germans perpetrators of genocide.
The Scots guy is a better example, imo. Someone who was trying to contribute in a positive manner but filled the wiki with complete gibberish, as opposed to a troll, of which there many.
Yeah, it’s important to remember that wikipedia, itself, isn’t a source, it’s a summary of different sources. It’s a great resource to find sources and get an overview of a topic, though.
That’s 100% placebo. I’m a professional recording and mixing engineer and have done ABX tests in rooms with speakers that cost as much as a new car and struggled. Not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars in acoustic treatment in those rooms. 320kbps is guaranteed to be indistinguishable from lossless on $100 speakers in what’s likely a horrible sounding room.
Yeah it’s honestly insane. Getting to the point where I think I’m just going to filter out the technology and politics communities despite being interested in the content and in some of the discussions. There are so many over the top toxic people on lemmy. In one of the youtube adblocking threads, there was a guy who said something along the lines of “honestly it’s worth it for me to have youtube premium” and he was downvoted and called a paid google employee. Like it’s so absurd. You can’t say anything that goes against the circlejerk without being dogpiled on. It’s behavior that’s far worse and more consistently worse than anything I’ve ever seen on reddit. It’s not the first time I’ve seen stuff like that. I remember all the backlash when sync came out. I like the app and the dev so I paid for it but all these FOSS bros were acting like the dev is the second coming of Hitler for daring to make money for his work. It’s exhausting. I hate ads and subscriptions but I need to live my life at some point and just begrudgingly accept them. I can’t spend all day seething about it like a lot of people on lemmy do. Again, it’s just kind of exhausting reading a lot of threads now. I thought I was going crazy but it’s nice to see that other people have similar observations.
The vast majority of content uploaded is never going to make them any money. They get free content but hosting it is incredibly expensive.
Loads of instances don’t require an email to sign up so that doesn’t make any sense.
It’s still crazy to think just how quickly lemmy grew and how recently still. Software development takes a lot of time but it’s nice to know that the devs are chipping away at some of these major issues.
Yes, because no one has ever smoked before they reached the legal age.
Same haha. Doc is not part of scicraft and never was but he’s good friends with them. A lot of his builds in the past couple seasons of hermitcraft were designed by scicraft members or at least friends of scicraft. He’s usually in voice chat on the scicraft discord a couple days per week.
No problem! Always happy to talk about this weird niche corner of the minecraft community haha. I think it goes without saying but people who are part of the technical community are really some of the most dedicated players for the whole game so I think balancing things could really promote more creativity and challenge for those who want it without adding more grind for the casual player base!
It had some really rough moments intertwined with some really well done moments. Overall it’s fine. The shots of the cities and some of the fights were beautiful. I also really liked some of the zuko and iroh backstory that wasn’t in the original show. Some of the dialogue was very clunky and they mashed up a bunch of stories into the same episode which felt weird and didn’t totally work. I enjoyed watching it for the most part. It was never going to be as good as the original so I think going in with that expectation helped.
