- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 5 days ago:
That’s very fair! I was concerned by that video too, though I would point out that if I remember right, the games in that video don’t work on non-steamdeck devices including if you install steamos on a laptop or desktop
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 5 days ago:
There kind of is though. I’m not here to argue it’s enough to unseat windows but it is markedly different
From a technical standpoint it’s just another linux distro with some nice tweaks for gaming but from a human perspective it has brand recognition, familiarity, a known company behind it. Those things do really matter for adoption. No idea if that’d be anywhere near enough, I’m not inclined to make predictions, but it does have explicit advantages over consumers hearing they can get a laptop with Ubuntu or fedora on it

Hey, happy lemmy anniversary, I’m glad you’re here!
- Comment on 'An Insult To Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Criticism Resurfaces As OpenAI’s Ghibli-Style Image Trend Takes Over Social Media 1 week ago:
Not suprised, Miyazaki’s art is deeply concerned with what it means to be human, and the beauty to be found there.
The art style is an superficial aesthetic of that beauty, not the heart of it.
And none of that heart is in ai generated images. They’re souless immitations that ape the substance of his works without having any. Like how hallmark pretends to depict “love” with paper thin characters and sanitizes it of any real substance or meaning
- Comment on What do you think might be some fun, positive ways for instances to distinguish themselves? 1 week ago:
I think clear identity (I like the idea of a mission statement that someone mentioned), and a statement of the governance model of the instance would be really cool to see normalized
Erin Kissane has done a lot of fediverse research and found governance was really vital to people’s experiences, good or bad, but it’s difficult to asses from the outside until you have a problem and it’s either handled well or poorly.

Lmao, that’s such a goofy idea, I kinda love it

You should cross-post to !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee! Its not a perfect fit but this is such a beautiful object, I’m sure folks there would love to see it!
- Comment on Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option. 3 weeks ago:
Firefox isn’t a search engine…? I’m talking about Brave search, not the browser, I have exactly zero reasons to use Brave browser lol 😅
Brave the company sucks, but most of the alternative/private search engines suck and/or are just a meta search. Brave search performs more competitively with google than most, and isn’t dependent on google or Microsoft continuing to allow other engines to use their results
From what I understand kagi has some issues too, but not as much baggage as brave has. Brave has a lot 😅
- Comment on Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option. 3 weeks ago:
I think brave let’s you do the same thing with their goggles feature which let’s users make custom search filters. I could be mistaken though
(and yes I know Brave as a company comes with baggage. Pretty much all of the search options do unfortunately :/)

Well that’s mildly terrifying
Really interesting read, thanks for sharing
- Comment on Can I Just Reinstall F-Droid? 4 weeks ago:
I believe it would pick all of them back up. I use a different f-droid client (droidify) and can see all my apps in both

What exactly is funkwhale? It looks like a federated music platform of some sort?
- Comment on Fish 4.0 Shell Released With Code Ported From C++ To Rust 4 weeks ago:
What are the actual differences between fish and bash/a POSIX compliant shell?
I saw somewhere that fish supports && now, what works differently or wouldn’t transfer properly from bash?

That’s pretty cool, I didn’t know that about lemmy.zip
- Comment on Algorithms are breaking how we think | Technology Connections 5 weeks ago:
Grayjay can work that way (optionally) too. Its pretty cool there are now a number of great ways to interact with YouTube that give users more agency! 😊
Invidious is also a thing, though I haven’t used it much
- Comment on Algorithms are breaking how we think | Technology Connections 5 weeks ago:
For YouTube on android you can also use grayjay or revanced to set subscriptions as your home page!
(This is about a section in the video, not just a random non-sequitur 😅)
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Oh neat!
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I’ve done this with my pixelfed/Mastodon to post on lemmy for easier image hosting. I still can’t get over how cool it is that you can essentially “post to ‘reddit’ from your ‘twitter’ or ‘instagram’”
the Fediverse is fuckin neat lol
- Comment on Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost 5 weeks ago:
Thank you for the additional context, I’ve heard peoples criticisms of substack but hadn’t heard any of this additional info
Ghost still seems cool though :)

There’s a Foss dating app called alovoa, I think I saw something on the subreddit when I was taking a look at it again a while back about potentially implementing activitypub

Neat!! Thanks for sharing 😊
- Comment on @fediversenews@piefed.social is replacing @fediversenews@venera.social, which will be retired in a month 5 weeks ago:
If possible it’d probably be ideal to delete all user posts and lock it with a post directing people to the new home, but leave it up for a while so people have a chance to learn where it went :)
Dunno if that’s possible with Friendica, but I’m excited to join the new community, I wasn’t previously aware of it!

Is that a sticker we can get? That looks dope
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 1 month ago:
If you want to potentially sidestep some of people’s frustrations you might consider just using the credibility rating and focusing on whether a group provides factual reporting, rather than left or right of center
You can also create a user experience that more carefully manages expectations of the feature by having it be opt in, but presenting the option to users when it becomes available. That gives you the opportunity to give a short blurb acknowledging its imperfections and also highlighting its potential value
As someone fairly to the left wing myself, the fact that lemmy is so left wing is both a blessing and a curse. I don’t see Nazis around, but being in an echo chamber isn’t great for your ability to engage with perspectives other than your own, and makes you succeptible to narratives that reinforce your existing views regardless of whether they’re accurate
I’d love this feature, in spite of its flaws, but it does definitely have them. Its based on the US overton window, which will frustrate folks from other parts of the world who may already feel lemmy sometimes forgets the world beyond the US exists. And the US overton window is changing as a product of the trump administration which may warp mbfc results, which could honestly be really dangerous.
Focussing on the factuality and credibility might help you sidestep those problems and make a feature people would find less frustrating, potentially even to the point that you could make it opt out.
Generally I appreciate efforts to build healthier, less echo chambery discourse, thanks for the work you’re doing ❤️

If anyone from lemmings.world could report this I’d appreciate it, I’m not exactly sure who reports go to, so I’m not sure if my report will end up in front of the mod of the instance this account is on
