PCs are brilliant! But I like console

If I may offer a new way to think about things - YouTube ads support creators by allowing them to make a living making their videos. It’s quite different than Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, where a company is just hosting and monetizing people discussing and sharing things with each other. If you want to see good content, YouTube decentralized alternatives will really only take off if there is some sort of crowd funding going to creators. Which would most likely take the form of a subscription. And…that is essentially YouTube premium anyway. And I might add that I’ve had YouTube premium for years and it’s my favorite subscription I have across the entire internet.

The music in the credits was unbelievable (and the music throughout of course)

I would LOVE to see a feature film in that art style (at the end).

Maybe they realized that Apple’s is so much more premium that whoever would buy the Quest Pro would instead by the Apple Headset.

That’s very clever.

BOTW and TOTK are both 30 FPS - unless you played it on PC or Steamdeck emulated or something

Skyward Sword HD! The visuals and dungeons are so fun. Also, it turns out it’s the only Zelda game that’s HD and 60FPS. I hadn’t realized this before. I really hope they remake other Zeldas.

I might be pretty ignorant here but what is so proprietary about Twitter/Threads? It just lets people make public status updates and share photos. Unless they literally used the same lines of code, how is it infringement and trade secrets?

I created one of the “big subs” on Reddit, and have felt particularly frustrated that whether I protest or don’t, I will still get angry messages from both mods and users either way. Which makes the whole “you’re not even paid for this” hit much harder. But here I am on Lemmy with a username different than my Reddit account breathing fresh internet air where no anonymous strangers yell at me

Careful - feed it once and he will keep coming back.

I think decentralized internet is probably the most legitimate sounding

Upvoting on Mlem on Lemmy.world!

I agree - what would you say those pitfalls are? Of course the decentralizing nature takes care of some problems - but the main thing that made me feel awful browsing reddit was the constant argumentative nature of every discussion. When I first discovered web forums 20 years ago it was the magical aspect of it that had me engaged. It was actually cool to be able to chat with other people online about anything - and that itself put everyone in a good mood; after all, why waste your time being really negative if you’re doing something cool and interesting? Now, it’s very common place. Added with people being more comfortable that they can remain anonymous, huge sites like Reddit are prone to a lot of…crap. That’s what I can think of so far.

With AI capabilities now, surely it’s pretty easy for an AI to follow a set of instructions like: create an email, check email, click link in email…etc - is that correct? Or put another way - why would email verification stump ML so consistently if it’s trained to create emails and do the process

This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but Reddit did send the creator of /r/jailbait a golden trophy for his contributions to the website. Here is an interview about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks8xuYRPnWM&t=458s

And yet Apollo was made by one guy and it’s far better than anything Reddit made

How does one know when their instance is updated?

I mean when you chew your potatoes, they get mashed. So all I’m saying is that when you eat potatoes vs eat mashed potatoes, your stomach doesn’t really know the difference now does it

Is it possible to require an authentication app or something to make an account? Require a specific score on a flash game like snake? Or is that stupid? I don’t know, I’m not a dev ¯_(ツ)_/¯
