  • Please support this! As graphic designers we should be able to use a open source OS.

  • It's owned by Canva, so I'd be willing to bet their next release will we some kind of web version - in that case there would be no need to port it.

  • Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives

  • This translates to fewer Patreon subscribers which means less opportunity and funding to create high quality videos

    If there's an algorithm to game, and money to be made, I don't see how that's any different to self promotion. Boil it down and all that's happening is you are performing an action, so that more people see you, in the hopes that some of them will give you money.

    The lack of an algorithm is a feature, I don't want content I havent explicitly asked for to be shown.

  • I doubt there's any such thing as backups, nothing on there is permanent that's why so many archive sites exist.

  • Self promotion is a form of advertising, doubly so if it's done for the purpose of attracting revenue via some means. People can opt into it if they want via subscribing/following but it's still advertising.

    So yes most "authentic" content is just people advertising themselves. I would prefer not to see that unless I have opted into it.

  • That's still an ad, you want money for a product you're offering. The only difference is in your case there's an extra step between impression and conversion.

  • I'd prefer for my social media to not be full of ads for "content".

  • Jacksepticeye Reveals He Was Working on an Unannounced Soma Animated Show but It Fell Apart 'Out of Nowhere'

  • Why would a gaming react andy get a TV deal? It doesn’t make any sense what are his credentials? Yelling? Catchphrases maybe?

  • It Might Be Time to Admit the Great VR Experiment Has Failed

    Jump

  • It’s been viable for enthusiasts for a while, but the reason it’s not mainstream is most normal people just don’t want it. It’s clumsy, cumbersome, the content is generally poor, and it’s either a Meta product or very expensive for something that’s ultimately a gimmick at the moment. Not to mention the “metaverse” tarnishing VRs image.

    Even Apple couldn’t make it successful with today’s tech. Best case scenario IMO; company’s starting long term VR moonshot projects right now might have something with mainstream appeal in the distant future.

  • VR won’t be viable until it’s transparent and unobtrusive; a contact lens, for example. A giant headset that you strap on to your face just isn’t appealing to most customers outside of the initial novelty factor.

  • Poison the well?

  • If you mass edit, it’ll get restored from older versions - pointless really.

    Find your top 20-30 posts and comments and manually edit them. Make them sound real, but at the same time contain complete bullshit. Anyone, or any thing reading them will be misinformed- not by you but by reddit thus making reddit less valuable.

    To really be a thorn in reddits side we need to be actively, but subtly malicious.

  • Sony is experimenting with AI-powered PlayStation characters

    Jump

  • Sony AI has been a division of SIE for quite a while now. They were training AI to play Gran Tourismo years ago.

  • 'Writing is on the wall for spinning rust': IBM joins Pure Storage in claiming disk drives will go the way of the dodo in enterprises

  • A big heat sink like they used to put on WD Raptor drives.

    Jump

  • Hotmail still exists?

  • Author Ashley St. Clair Says She Gave Birth to Elon Musk's 13th Child 5 Months Ago

  • Not to defend Elmo but I feel like that’s a fairly normal thing for most species? If our ancestors didn’t have a breeding kink we wouldn’t be here.

  • Reddit CEO signals subreddits requiring a subscription fee coming this year

  • At the risk of sounding like a shill, I like Kagi.

  • This why it pays to use a search engine that lets you blocklist sites

  • Cloudflare outage caused by botched blocking of phishing URL

    Jump

  • Ah another day, another Cloudflare cockup. It would be nice if the service that insists on MitM’ing a huge chunk of the internet could focus a bit more on stability.

  • China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

    Jump

  • Very cool and they should keep doing this, but no one’s CPE is going to be able to do anywhere near this speed unless they plan on giving everyone large enterprises routers for home use.

  • Alpine Linux In An Infrastructure Crisis With Equinix Metal Sunsetting

  • It will definitely depend on the ISP, but generally for repeated “AUP” violations they will suspend your service entirely.

    Interestingly it’s often not technically the data usage that triggers this, its how much utilisation (generally peak utilisation) you cause and high data usage is a by product of that. Bandwidth from an ISP’s core network to their various POIs that customer connections come from is generally quite expensive, and residential broadband connections are fairly low margin. So lets say they’ve got 100Gbps to your POI that could realistically service many thousands of people, a single connection worth €/$10-15 a month occupying 10% of that is cause for concern.
