As a big Cult of the Lamb fan, this is very exciting!

We invented feudalism all over again!

Meta get’s to look up a lot of porn illegally but UK needs to show their face. What a distopia we live in.

Me too, so much!

A big reason why I’ve come to like Lemmy communities so much is really because they give me some old internet feeling. It’s not super crowded, it’s an app that isn’t design for brain rot, it allows interesting online discussion etc.

I think projects like this can continue to exist, even in a bleak corporate owned internet.

It’s yet another step in seeing the Internet becoming owned by big corporations. Only big corporations can implement these things.

Art, creativity, people doing internet things as a hobby, that is dying more and more everyday.

This game holds a special place in my life. Back in the 90s we had it on the family PC and it was so awesome.

Every once in a while I play it on DOSBox. I fully recomend it. It’s an amazing game.

I don’t even know why we talk with other people in companies anymore. We can’t send emails because people don’t read them. So we are drowning in calls where we include the whole team where we talk about our weekends for 5 minutes at the start and spend half talking about what could have been a email. So on top we have bots that do these summaries so people can be sitting on calls only paying half attention to then not read the summaries anyway.

Stray is such an amazing game. Real work of art. I love how we discover more and more of the story of this world.

I can’t wait to play Expedition 33.

Yes, this is right. Saying arbitrarily “better” leaves a lot out.

I must admit that using the business integration for customer support has lead me to really good experiences. Especially not having to call, wait 20 minutes under a ring tone, and talking over a line with very low sound quality.

I wished Whatsapp wasn’t a thing so much. There are so many so much better apps. Signal is so much better and it would work fine for the vast majority of people.

Thanks

Any recommendations?

This is the most baffling feature ever. Why would anyone want to have titles translated? The video itself is not going to be translated! I guess it’s because of these auto subtitles that are simply not that reliable nor do they make for a good viwing experience if you really don’t know the language.

Even Youtube’s algorithm already doesn’t suggest videos from languages in which you don’t search in! My youtube shows me stuff only in the languages I usually google with.

And the ads with this ai voice… Damn they are weird.

I did not know this, and I love it! Thanks for sharing!!!

I watch youtube on a smart TV where I don’t have a way to skip ads. I know there are ways to do it, I just never implemented.

The experience with Youtube is getting so much worse. It used to be one ad at the start of the video. Then it was two. And now ads in the middle of the video. They are also so long! It completely breaks the narrative of the video and is so distracting.

All of this just makes me want to watch less Youtube, which is likely not a bad thing.

When will this end… when will the big news be about things like this, like an AI not being able to beat a chess game from the 70s…

The biggest thing that these trends and over hyped things like AI and Blockchain has shown me is that really the vast majority of people talking about themes really have no idea about anything said themes when it comes down to it.

It would be great, but this really affects people who actually do the work and have to put up with this.

Oh yes, there were so many of these novelty accounts.

I remembered a user called Shitty Watercolor who would do very quick paintings of things user situations. There is still a subredit about it, and I’m shocked to noticed that the posts are from like 9 or 10 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitty_Watercolour/

There was also the jumper cables guy. Like, a user who would reply to every askreddit threat, only that his story would at some point include a line in which his father would get mad and beat him with jumper cables. Very funny.

So many of these accounts. The site really used to have some community and lore to it, and I really don’t feel it anymore. Even things like the secret question: “What time does the narwhal bacon?”

Reddit really turned into yet another brainrot doom scroll website.

I think back to what it used to be, how I used to engage with the communities and it’s depressing to see how that was lost. I miss the old API especially. I used to have personal project around it that helped me use it. It was fun to develop and maintain, and it really helped me out browsing reddit.

when they changed the api ruled I tried still to use it, but their interface to create an account to use the free api (I was querying so little it would have applied to use the free api), never worked. I tried for months until finally giving up.

I also think that generating blob summaries just goes towards brain rot things we see everywhere on the web that’s just destroying people’s attention spam. Wikipedia is kind of good to read something that is long enough and not just some quick, simplistic and brain rotting inducing blob

The Thai incident was I think the big event for a lot of people who until then though well of him.
