Oooh cool! I’ll be watching for the release of this software with great interest!

Once in a blue moon there will be a Reddit-style comment chain on Lemmy, I can tolerate it occasionally when the situation warrants it. When I left Reddit, I was getting tired of every top thread having at least one of the same joke template replies and I’m sure it hasn’t gotten any better since.

Lemmy’s issues are with leftist vs. liberal infighting I would say.

Oh the Urbanity, a Canadian couple discussing housing and transit !urbanism@video.canadiancivil.com

Mr. Doctorow has expressed before he doesn’t mind enshittification being used casually as it helps proliferate it. But strictly speaking by his original definition, there are three stages:

• Offer something extremely good to your customers, to expand reach even at a loss.
• Once enough of the market is captured, offer something very good or unique to your business clients, at the expense of customers.
• Once enough of business is captured, extract value from the platform at the expense of business clients and customers in favour of shareholders and owners.

Now, yes, this type of thing has long been common, in terms of oligarchic, monopolistic capitalism, cartels, mafia, colonial market exploitation, etc. But the original context of the word, to clarify, has to do with the kind of changes enabled by technology (twiddling), where digital firms can A/B test, degrade the experience in minor increments or for algorithmically based sectors, pretending certain failures are accidental glitches, so that it is hard to notice and the justice system can’t keep up. With traditional rackets, a court with enough of an anti-trust mindset can effectively identify the affected class, identify and effectively deal with the scheme. The modern “enshittification” is much more elusive, and we’re only beginning to think about how to tackle this form of subtle yet widespread manipulation enabled by digital technology.

I’ll grant Trump it was a bold goal for the US, but it was never going to happen under him because he’s too incompetent at that kind of thing. Realistically he doesn’t actually care about accomplishing that or not, as long as he can look good or get something out of it.

Biden coulda done it, he was well on the way of doing it actually with Green new deal, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs act, CHIPS act etc., but of course people were too impatient for results and were swept by right wing propaganda so, Americans can have fun while Trump and Republican squander the booming economy Biden handed them on a platter. This administration really could have done better if they just sat on their hands, done nothing else and spun how good Trump is with the economy and every other issue.

Not hard to trend in a positive direction if you are already deep in the negatives.

The US “America First” policy really seems to be to purge its own reputation and effectively sanction itself. If the Trump admin doesn’t want expertise, there are plenty of conference locations across Canada and elsewhere in the world.

Sidenote: ooh cool HTTP response 303 in the preview!

First video was from somewhere around Toronto, Canada (my guess is Mississauga). Some places have very unclear signage of when bus lanes are active, when they’re not, disappearing in and out of existence sometimes, but that was a clear red lane that combined with lane data the Tesla’s camera based navigation system should have been equipped enough to handle it…

Sucks for the driver letting Tesla net him a fine and demerit points.

The English + Undefined issue is indeed a nasty issue that makes half of the content disappear for a reason that’s not easy to figure out. It really should be a separate checkbox of whether to show or hide posts where the language is not labelled. I do think that Undefined is selected by default now, but might still get unselected if the language setting is clicked and changed.

For those people saying “Ctrl+Click, should be obvious”, that won’t work at all on mobile web UI.

Tip for you since it sounds you are genuinely trying it out but are running into issues: you can post and comment on outside Lemmy communities without creating a different account for the most part. Just navigate to lemmy.world/c/[community name]@[other site domain]. Example: https://lemmy.world/c/science_memes@mander.xyz means you can interact with the community on mander.xyz while staying on your lemmy.world account.

A Lemmy server agnostic link can be made in the form of ![community name]@[other site domain]. Example: !science_memes@mander.xyz, or !fediverse@lemmy.world to help people from anywhere on lemmy to link to c/fediverse.

There’s still a lot of gaps like official methods to redirect post and comment links to your instance (I heard it was coming soon) It is indeed behind Reddit in a lot of technical and social aspects, but I think it’s not completely a bad thing.

Welcome! Thanks for the suggestion, I’m happy with having multiple sites and not one team having absolute say on content over the rest.

Solution: put a facebook, amazon, google logo on it so courts block their dns?

Klarna: Fire Now, Pay Later.

Next version of Apple Intelligence: Rollback to Siri, but with “I Am Genius.” added to the end of every answer.

Can we get the courts to determine that as an “unreasonable search” already?

When I was a middle schooler I definitely wanted to see what would happen from messing around with things like that would be like…

But I also wasn’t inundated by short form videos trying it out and encouraging me to do it myself also as part of a trend…

Chipping in a bit (30CAD quarterly). I really owe it to your and dessalines’ work, having been here for over 2 years now.

One piece of advice as a freebie: Don’t judge yourself too hard if an honest and genuine comment you make now-and-then gets downvoted. Often times the best thing to do is just to move on. You can try to reach a mutual understanding through conversation, but recognize the signs when a back-and-forth isn’t leading anywhere productive and simply back off.
