Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.

“EEE” doesn’t really make sense in this context, and even if there was some way for Meta to affect non Meta-owned instances- ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta is allowed to use it however they want.

Still not fully integrated, but it’s nice to see broader ActiviyPub adoption beyond “follow a handful of users who opted-in”. I never expected Meta to be the company inching towards federation and not bluesky. Makes me wonder if Tumblr will ever follow through with their promises to federate.

edit: To the (sadly predictable) response that “Meta will screw you over in a heartbeat” YES, of COURSE they will, that’s why it’s GOOD to be able to access Threads content safely and privately from a non-Meta controlled platform.

Big fan of low tech magazine!

This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It’s really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn’t get bogged down with technical details.

Rick Moranis, I’m speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.

hi it’s me rick thank you for continuing to believe in me it’s children like you that keep the christmas magic alive

Exactly, otherwise it’s just, well, scrolling.

It got cloudy

Unless he joins fedia.io you don’t really get a say in what he does… kind of the entire point behind decentralization…

It’s also an avenue for attacks.

Ah yes, famous coward Harvey Milk /s

Tinder started as a “hook-up” app, if they went back to that kind of marketing I would not find the company quite so reprehensible.

We salute you, Loretta.

M*A*S*H is a very good show, it’s aged (a little too) well and the jokes still land to this day. Highly recommended.

Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian own Digg now. Alexis Ohanian never worked at Digg and Kevin Rose was replaced as CEO by the board in 2010 for non-involvement. It’s still going to be a non-federated for profit platform. But there’s no reason to think they would ruin Pocket or even change it dramatically.

I agree, I really don’t think the concerns about “not being able to tell what’s real” will be a major issue (at least to those who care about knowing what’s real). Social media has been full of human-made slop for years and if someone is getting their sense of reality from social media posts, then that is the problem and AI isn’t going to dramatically change that.

I have a feeling if any of these video generators tried to make a “clip” longer than a couple of seconds they would rapidly become a lot less “real looking”

A Fedi instance requires a time commitment, there are some good suggestions in here but I recommend some alternative frontends.

Potentially unpopular protip: I’ve blocked most of the “prolific” posters. My entire feed was becoming repurposed memes from 2015.

I’m happy there are people out there dedicating time to keeping Lemmy “active” but that is not how I want to live my life.

I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.
