My best guess is that they’re being posted by click bait farms to sell ads to people who view their pages… though I don’t know enough about Facebook to know if that would actually be possible.
I don’t want to believe that hundreds of actual people are independently stealing and making variants on this one artist’s work to get fake internet points…
The clickbait headline has made me angry enough I don’t even care what feature they’re talking about. They can get in the bin.
This headlines reads like it was AI generated.
Is there a community where a take like this would be considered and welcome? Asking because I would like to follow that community…
I’m about a week off coming back to Windows from Linux.
Some things that chased me off:
I keep feeling like Linux is just a year or two away from being good enough for common folks to switch over, and I guess if all you need if Firefox, it’s probably there. But the experience is just so subtly, but consistently, bad year after year.
For reference, I was on Pop!_OS (whatever their latest stable was, I think based on Ubuntu 22?). I had read that Pop!_OS was one of the better distorts for games.
Can you tell me more about this? I’m running a synapse server at the moment, but if there’s about to be a smoother Rust option, I’m interested!
Weirdly, I read this as “Reddit doesn’t think it needs search engines,” and was confused about seeing everyone discussing Google specifically. That’s a bit stupid to try to block only the one search engine.
I became a Nitro subscriber pretty early specifically because I hope it helps them not enshittify their product… :(
Literally what I thought when I first saw the headline.
Literally making Twitter more tolerable every time he locks some feature behind logins/paywalls.
Gosh, if they’d offered this 10 years ago, I’d have been MUCH more interested. As-is, I haven’t really used Facebook in a year or two because of the awful timeline, not the ads. So cool idea, but too little (well, too much cost, I guess) and too late for me to care.
I really need to try them and see how many searches I actually use. Even their higher paid tiers seem like way too few searches to me. But I have no actual idea.
Wait, there are parts of the world where you can pay for online subscriptions via BANK TRANSFER?!
The Twitter experience for me is BETEER now if I’m not logged in. Someone links a tweet, I read it, and no longer get sidetracked by comments and responses. Just the linked tweet, and done. That’s what I always wanted, and now I get it just by not logging in? Sold!
I even tried replacing Lightroom, which if you read the recommendations, people love the various FOSS options out there, but they were all garbage at onboarding or finding functionality or just even setting up a simple library with events and albums to group together and edit.
Discord on Linux is one of the biggest reasons I stopped trying to switch to Linux. Not the only, and I know web apps are a thing. But I hate setting literally a web app when there’s a “native” app, but their native app was doubling all my back/forward button inputs, and high was a massive disruption.
It was far from the only reason, more like the final straw in a growing list of frustrating shit that ALMOST worked right.
Would maybe be funny if a law were passed saying that you could only charge people for access to your AI content if you can prove that their own content wasn’t used to help train the AI…
This is exactly my opinion. They’re not great in a lot of their stances; but they ARE better than most companies in most of their stances… and the open-source options just DO NOT WORK as well by far.
I want my software and hardware to enable my hobbies, not to BE my hobbies getting them to work and keeping them working as new versions come out.
I’m trying hard to hold out buying a new vehicle until I can move into somewhere I can charge an EV. Sold my last ICE when I moved overseas, and current apartment has no charging places.
