So, Microsofts suggestion for the problem of studios beating old IP to death isn’t to support smaller indie projects that are developing new IP.
Doesn’t gamepass make this problem worse? It makes it affordable and incentivizes people to try many of those big AAA games so studios still get paid (maybe less than if it’s bought outright, but still i imagine it’s still compensated).
So how does this work in reality though? Most of the feed is sponsored content. Does that mean that for paid users they would only see posts from their own friends? As in, they get the intended experience of fb?
Imagine paying to get the product a company pretends it is delivering for free. And they still mine your data to sell to the highest any bidder.
OMG I WOULD POWERWASH TF OUT OF THE CLOCK TOWER
Why is the focus only on identifying AI generated photos? Why not force a tag on all AI generated content period? That would help with a lot of applications.
They can call it that but I don’t believe for one second that Meta can’t read everything in the groups and use it for advertising
YES DEFINITELY
True, but it’s more complicated wiht Lemmy since the duplicate communities aren’t as obvious because of the multiple instances.
Its kind of a bug and a feature since it’s how decentralized services work but it will likely keep Lemmy from growing (at least to the extent that reddit did).
Well that kind of makes sense. After everyone left reddit, people came here and we’re getting told to start communities left and right. I think the new mods need to learn how to do things in a more structured way.
For all it’s flaws, reddit has built a decent system for helping mods get started, even if a lot of the actual support is provided directly by other mods and not by reddit itself.
OMIGOD please let us not have the right to repair conversation about fucking cars.
But this is probably where we are heading unfortunately.
This is a terrible take. Maybe someday your livelihood will be challenged by technology and you’ll get to see why.
I used it for a while. It was okay but I got frustrated with some of the UI on Desktop. It struggled to recognize a lot of website password forms so I had to do a lot of manual login entry (even if it was copy paste it was still a pain). I really liked having a desktop app that didn’t require a browser but they stopped supporting it, which was the last thing I was staying for so I dropped it for Keeper, then One Password.
With all that said, it’s one of few pm tools that made it super easy to share passwords securely (more than keeper or Onepassword) , and it was pretty seamless to share logins for household stuff like Netflix and our mortgage servicer. My husband hated using though since he had his own system that preferred using, but used dashlane for things we shared.
While I generally agree, I think if the internet has taught me anything, it is that the majority of people are, in fact, very, very VERY stupid.
These seem to be based on some core concepts of psychology and interpersonal influence (intended or not). I used to work in that area and picked up a few of these tricks along the way too.
Basically what they do is give your recipient a clear call to action-if you want them to do something, it’s best to ask directly VS tiptoeing around. The best example there being the just wanted to check in one. If you want an update, ask for it. That way there’s no ambiguity what the response needs to be and they can fire it off quickly without thinking. You can wordsmith it to fit your style and company culture but the point is to tell them what you want them to do.
The other thing I see here is a sort of 2-parter. It’s about conveying confidence and positivity in your tone. There’s a lot of nuance to this and personal communication style and context of the situation play in more. But basically these items like ‘nice catch!’ and ‘thanks for your patience’ all kind of do this, showing a kind of team player attitude that also demonstrates that you know your own worth. ‘Happy to help’ does something similar but is more subtle-it avoids the negative tone of things like ‘no problem’ and goes a bit further.
Individually theses communications may have a minimal impact (depending on the situation of course) but over time using this kind of language associates you with positivity and confidence and can help you with with you building work relationships.
The art subs, like r/art, graphic design, art nouveau, and all the AI art subs. I was mostly a lurker on those ones but they were really great eye candy.
Also things like earth porn and the nature subs. Was nice to see cool places in my feed.
And the local community subs. I think that will take a long time to develop (if it ever does). I used to get a lot of news on city events from Reddit and without Boost on my phone I’m feeling out of the loop
I think a lot of the general reddit user base is still out of the loop on it or just doesn’t care about the drama enough to make any kind of change.
Many users don’t log in every day, and might just sign in to look up answers to specific questions or to read individual subs. Those folks are a lot less likely to have been following all the updates through last month and before since so much was announced across a variety of subs.
Oh no, two of my favorite chill out games are on this list (power wash simulator and dorfromantik).
My stress levels cannot handle the thought of losing them.
