So damn based. Makes me NOT wanna pirate their games. Hell, I’d even purchase even if I wouldn’t play it (if I could rn, but currently I’ve got hefty cat veterinary bills to pay).

Edit: OH MATE! THEY’RE THE POSTAL STUDIO! Goddamn I played it so damn much in my early teens. Goddamn I gotta pay my bills faster!

Adding to the suggestion (and as a recent neovim user) it’s good to do the tutorial (typing “:Tutor”) on a “naked vim” before using a ready-made setup. I’m using AstroNvim and enjoying it so far, the custom shortcuts clicked with me

Some fetishes are best kept hidden.

That’s really informative. I’m kind of warming up to give image generation a try after seeing your posts. Thanks for sharing your results~

Those are some great AI images, and I’m really far from loving AI generated stuff. How many attempts does it take to get a result like any of those ones?

That really synthetises why I dislike microblogging so much: It’s a bunch of people throwing small-talk and rage bait everywhere, all the time.

Considering a lot of people are really bad at conservation in every possible way, it also makes sense why microblogging is so much more popular than forum-like platforms.

To be honest, having good frontends for accessing the fediverse on mobile devices isn’t really a waste of time, as it helps introducing the fediverse to more people. It’s also more convenient for some users, I prefer to access Lemmy through Jerboa for example.

But there are always possibilities to increase compatibility and ease of use between the diverse ActivityPub platforms, there could be something like “templating interfaces” for different content formats, for example. I think it’s mostly a matter of time and adoption, the more users something has, the more developers we can have, who’ll be interested in making things more accessible and frictionless.

I’ll still try it with Jerboa, but it worked really well through the default UI (accessing your instance directly through the browser, as in feddit.nl/c/techlore@neat.tube for example)

Damn, that’s neat! Gonna follow Nick’s channel (the linux experiment) from here.

edit: Okay, that worked really well. It shows on Lemmy as !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com

For me, it depends heavily on how they do it.

• Will it be FOSS?
• Will of adhere to the ActivePub standard and play nice in not trying to push it around to suit their needs alone?
• Will it be honest about how much and which data they collect, and give users control on how much they want to share?
• Are they good about not forcing their users on an unknowable algorithm?

There’s too many factors to decide on a whim. Not all companies are wholly evil like Meta, Microsoft and Elon’s enterprises, but they’re all for-profit, and we must always be wary. I’m willing to give Tumblr’s owner the benefit of the doubt for now.

Fully agreed. That’s why I said “at most” because that’s the worst I’d tolerate, but I still think upvoting is already enough.

I pass. Gamifying social interactions leads to abuse and lowers the quality of posts, comments, reports, etc. It’s a streamlined path to enshittification.

Only user-provided 🏅🐭 awards here, at most.

Few things please me more than seeing conservatives damaging each other.

Thanks! It’ll be really nice to see how many people are giving Lemmy a good try.

Congrats on the milestone! @MicroWave@lemmy.world would it be possible (if you haven’t done so already) to make one for Lemmy usage across all instances (or at least the major ones)?

They all are already on WhatsApp though. All my phone contacts are WhatsApp contacts already (and have been before I added them).

If I need to interact with anyone who desires ultmost privacy I’m not idiot enough to ask for their phone number, and they’d be really out of their mind to share if that’s the case.

But sure, I guess a cousin or smth might want to slap me in the face for “selling” data they already sold themselves years prior.

The biggest threat IMO is being exposed to Meta-curated content. They definitely use their algorithms to push narratives in their interest.

Being exposed to their users is being exposed to them by proxy.

Please, showing girthy shafts like this in public is such a shameless behaviour.
