I’ve been using DDG exclusively for years now and every now and then I feel it doesn’t give me what I seek and I try Google and it doesn’t find shit either.
People always say that Google results are still superior but I believe that’s only the case as long as you’re in the bubble they create based on your profile and you’re looking for your interests and like-minded opinions.
Upper-case T; different matter. You’re evoking a dystopian nightmare that reduces humanity to educationally subnormal homunculi with no prospects, no future and various unalive things I’d use a spoiler tag and trigger warning for if I knew how to do that.
So what? You’re just describing what Zuck has been working towards since he started that shit at college.
Good. Finally that one friend of mine will stop posting Twitter links and I can blacklist it again.
People always wait until it’s almost too before they act. Some even miss that point.
It’s the same work for them. The DB server may just save some CPU time if it has to delete less.
Actually a good sign.
Subscription fees instead of single-buy licenses are generally more profitable after 1-2 years. This whole cloud crap is a pure vendors’ market.
Also, telemetry isn’t required anymore when users just use cloud services. That’s what made Google and Facebook big after all.
Good for you. But since the subreddit is the explicit topic or this thread the right thing to do would have been to not post a reply at all.
I’m absolutely with you. Boiling frog and all. 10 years ago nobody would have believed that you’d require an online account to log into your local machine.
As soon as it’s viable from a business point of view (as in people will swallow it), it will be cloud only.
You ever had respect for big tech?
Are apps site-exclusive or federated as well? Will I be able to use a Lemmy app with a kbin account?
Original content and exclusively for the Fediverse! That’s a good sign.
That’s my point. I doubt altering comments would have any advantage over deleting them. You just hide what you wrote from other peasants but not from Reddit.
The exact lie would be: “There’s a supreme being watching you. Now do as I say!”
That’s the gist of all religions I know.
I can’t play it due to ideological reasons (can we please not post tiktok links?)
Can the reminder bots be migrated too?
How do you know they don’t keep post revisions too? It’s trivial to implement and probably not much more data.
I’ve had the suspicion about my comments ever since I’ve posted kbin ads (only twice). Timely comments fitting the thread and zero reactions while the one I replied to gets 1000s of upvotes.
Oh well, it’ll be over next week anyway. Prepare for the wave!
Rarely, if ever. But if I watch something local it is usually news, game shows or something like that, not big screen productions that usually suffer from this “loud sound, silent speech” annoyance.
Unless it’s some rural dialect. Then all bets are off. But then I have the same problem with many English dialects.
Obligatory relevant xkcd.
