Yeah I really doubt streaming would change anything to 4:3.

Disney+ famously changed classic Simpsons to 16:9 and in the process, cropped enough to make some visual gags not work, but I can’t imagine them preferring 4:3 over 16:9.

I’m British and we’re obsessed with Eurovision, we also enjoy losing.

First time I’ve clearly seen artwork where I can name the artist the model used to generate (excluding obviously stuff like the Mona Lisa). This is in the style of Jakub Rozalski, was that on purpose?

Funnily enough the YouTube algorithm looks at titles, so if you watch a lot of bootleg musicals on YouTube, you also recommended softcore slime fetish content.

Or at least my girlfriend does, maybe I should ask her about that…

I’m British and not that well read on the American Revolution but I was under the impression that he was knows for riding out ahead of his troops? The general tactical decision other US generals kept making was stay in the safety of their forts, but that’s ineffective against the British who have the resources to win every war of attrition, and one of the things Washington was known for was basically pushing his troops out of forts by riding out himself?

I’m not super well read on it but that’s my understanding, although the flip side, George III and basically every other world leader wouldn’t have done the same, that was just one of those unique things Washington did.

I should say I’m actively opposed to anyone gaining control of the fediverse but when I started using Lemmy, Masterdon and Peertube, (until about an hour ago) I was unaware that it would be this easy for a big company to just engulf it if they wished to.

If I knew that the fediverse could be controlled and then drained like every other internet community, I would have approached it differently.

I’m don’t totally understand the fediverse and how it works. How does meta making one of their options federated harm the rest of the fediverse?

Is PixelFed trying to offer a subjectively better experience to Instagram or just an open source and decentralised equivalent to it?

It would be nice to see options to turn off seeing this content but really what some of us consider bloat, others may love to use.

They’re generally useful in promoting temporary content such as festivals. In places such as Instagram they’re found their use in being used for casual posts that aren’t of the quality of the users more cultivated actual posts. For example promoting a friend’s page or casual holiday pictures. Particularly if the account has a brand such as hand made goods, it’s a place for the owner to post personal content too.

I don’t actually know what PixelFed is really but I currently only use web content where I don’t really follow people as much as ideas and content, I couldn’t name a single lemmy or Reddit user, I only follow hashtags on Masterdon and I don’t really have much loyalty to who I watch on YouTube, so this content doesn’t appeal to me because I don’t often care about their stories. If PixelFed is a content site where you do follow personal content, then it’s probably right for them.
