In the months since I deleted my Reddit accounts and joined Lemmy, the lack of user base growth has made it clear that we need some users to stay on Reddit as a means of shepherding more users over on an ongoing basis. Otherwise, Reddit simply got what it wanted: less users who make a fuss about how it manages its platform...
They don't shadowban, but they'll auto-remove comments mentioning it. I posted the Join Lemmy link in a comment a while back, and that comment was immediately updated to [removed by reddit].
Yep! I've made it a habit that any time I reinforce somebody, I try to tag a nearby heavy. I just wish that more people in random lobbies realized that their hellpods will one-shot anything.
Lactose intolerance is actually normal. It's tolerance to lactose as an adult that is biologically unusual, and mostly unique to westerners. Because most of us continue eating dairy products after infancy, we continue being able to digest them. However other cultures don't continue consuming dairy after infancy, and thus lose their ability to digest it effectively.
It's a really tough argument to claim it as a disability. I don't see this case going well for the plaintiffs.
Honestly, everything here is great advice for teaching anything to somebody. I'm about to be involved with my company's training soon, and I'm saving this article to refer to when I start writing our materials.
I saw a dude the other night who killed himself three times at the start of a mission just to give us all Sickles. Maybe he was tired of other people killing him for the gun.

I have to wonder how hard it would be to build some kind of open source platform to compete with these companies.
I'd have to imagine that the answer to that is "really damn hard". Look at any Lemmy instance and see how hard it is just to create and maintain an open source "comment section for the internet" platform; now imagine managing thousands of financial transactions on that platform, processing background checks, establishing some sort of trust and security team, and people's livelihoods depending on that all working reliably all the time.
There's a reason why only VC-backed companies have managed to get off the ground in this space; it's hella expensive for a bunch of volunteers to manage.
You're right even though you're getting down voted.
Par for the course at LemmyWorld. Redditors brought their Redditor attitudes to LW and downvote anything they could possibly conceive as corpo sympathizing.
"Maintaining" means more than just leasing out a few server farms. It also means hiring software engineers, customer/driver support staffs, HR, legal teams, designers, etc, all of which are required to keep the day-to-day going. Uber and Lyft aren't small operations, by any means. They are monstrously huge projects that require a lot of bandwidth - both technical and human - in order to keep the lights on.
For what it's worth, Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and pretty much every gig app out there have all operated at a net loss from the very beginning. It's not just expensive to maintain the service, it's impossibly expensive.
I was just reading something recently where either Dan or somebody from TWRP said that they actually tried to pitch Starlight Brigade as an animated series, but were never able to get it off the ground beyond just a music video.
Which is a real shame, because I love the design to Starlight Brigade. I would've loved to have seen what the fully-realized project could've looked like.
Putting "personalized" in your generative AI prompt is a bit disingenuous, right off the bat.
Also, holy shit, instructing users to input the personal information of a hiring manager who hasn't agreed to have their data submitted into OpenAI's database? That feels dangerous.
This was really bad on Reddit where a picture or video would get cross-posted on several subs, and people would vote them up. I can understand that in Reddit there was a clout with having high karma, but that isn't the case here on Lemmy. But as someone who browses all, I've been seeing it more lately. What would the purpose of...

This says that they're able to hijack the phone numbers by scanning a QR code to configure an eSIM. But doesn't the carrier need to authenticate device swaps like that in the first place? If the carriers allow SIM swaps without anything more than a line of text, then that's a major account security issue that I have to imagine has already been accounted for when this tech and the policies for it were developed. I feel like there's some very important details missing to this.
That makes more sense. In which case, yeah this is just basic account security 101 stuff. Certain accounts in life you need to treat with extra security, and until we can wean society off of insecure SMS authentication services, your phone account is one of those that needs extra care put into it.
Tuta posts blatant misinformation about their competition on their socials. They're willing to lie to potential customers if it gets them money; I wouldn't trust them with any of my data.
They've since deleted it, but I pointed out that they posted a fake screenshot of an email claiming that Gmail was shutting down. They did reply to me, saying they "didn't fact check before posting", but it's Gmail; if it was shutting down, that would have been the easiest thing in the world to verify. Zero attempt was made to verify what they posted. A cursory glance through their Mastodon account shows a lot of other provocative and misleading headlines.

We already saw it happen when OSX share increased and Apple had to abandon the whole "Macs don't get viruses" schtick.
It's kinda crazy that Apple got away with spinning "Our products don't sell well enough for this to be a problem" into a marketing point for as long as they did.
Yeah, I wonder how much weight that new arbitration agreement holds in light of this breach. I feel like you can't just fuck up with your customers' data, force them to agree to not sue you, and then tell them that you fucked up with their data. Those users agreed to a contract where they likely had critical information withheld from them in bad faith.

Unfortunately, any non-branded phone is going to be problematic for a wide array of reasons. You're probably better off just buying the phone you like the most, and buying a brandless skin for it, IMO.
