Every platform and app I’ve seen does a piss poor job of explaining what federation is and how to sign up. “Wtf is mastodon.social?, Why is this one in German?, Why can’t I login after signing up?” New users just get confused and give up.

They’d have to implement ads eventually anyway. Companies do have budgets, and the money to run Threads has to come from somewhere.

Make one :)

Please do not pretend climate change is any one groups responsibility.

This happened in 2005 as well, except with 3 hurricanes; Francis, Ivan, and Jeanne. I doubt climate change has gotten better since then.

There’s nothing more I want out of a phone than what I have with the P9F right now. Price should come down, but I’m using this thing until it’s dead. Only other thing that could entice me is a rollable like LG was going to release here.

What? I mentioned a third party investigation and you’re saying they “investigated themselves” and brought up law firms for some reason. While completely ignoring the fact there is no evidence outside of the claims made by the ex employee

What else can you do in that situation? Fire other employees based on hearsay? Unfortunately, you have no idea what you’re talking about about. It’s perfectly fine to dislike a companies actions but let’s not perpetuate falsehoods and look like clowns.

I don’t why people bring up the allegations like they had any backing whatsoever. They were debunked by a 3rd party investigation.

Are they stupid? In fairness, I don’t know how they’re making any money at all. I’ve never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn’t a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.

Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it. Gamers Nexus The people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.

When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn’t say “oh well”, and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren’t happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like “corpa boss” to me. Now I can’t tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.

I’m not even reading that article because, no. But I’m all for an award system here on lemmy. All money goes to the instance hoster and the user gets badges, maybe a highlighted name. The most gilded users get entered into a giveaway every month or so for something like a T-shirt.

That’s allows for the instances to sustain themselves and gives users more incentive to post, without stupid subscriptions and promoting content farming.

There’s no way they used Gemini and decided it’s better than GPT.

I asked Gemini: “Why can great apes eat raw meat but it’s not advised for humans?”. It said because they have a “stronger stomach acid”. I then asked “what stomach acid is stronger than HCL and which ones do apes use?”. And was met with the response: “Apes do not produce or utilize acids in the way humans do for chemical processes.”.

So I did some research and apes actually have almost neutral stomach acid and mainly rely on enzymes. Absolutely not trustworthy.

Yes, I tried the mastodon app probably about 4 years ago before I knew what federation was. I could not figure out how to sign up and ultimately gave up. There needs to be an app/website that explains it well and guides you through the process.

And honestly both bluesky and mastodon do a poor job if this.

Twitter allows porn now, no?

Who is ‘they’, were to talking to that specific commenter for 2 years? Nope, but it’s only okay to generalize when you do it right?

Crap, I should be shutting the fuck up. God FORBID people don’t think exactly the same as you. Yep let me appease you aew360; Ukraine, Israel, lgbt, democrat. Phew hopefully we’re at peace now.

It’s incredible how disrespectful you had to word your reply to get your point across.

It did neither though?

I swear this was supposed to release tomorrow

Crap, we’re actually supposed to read the article?
