A 6 hour long that goes through all the major parts sof the video game history. One of the best video essays I've watched

 

Popular news aggregation and discussion website Reddit has changed its terms of service, allowing users to earn, purchase or sell currencies and items that can be cryptographically verified. The change in terms also explicitly outlined a clear separation in the definition of non-tokenized Web 2 virtual goods and tokenized Web 3 virtual goods, with a member of the Reddit product team disclosing plans to sunset the former.

 

Over the last 3 weeks of our data (June 21 to July 12, 2023), we saw a weekday daily tweet count drop from the 1,272 pre-Elon average to just 333 tweets a day, which is about a 74% drop in weekday tweets. The 2-week rolling average (including weekends) dropped down to 272 tweets over the final 2 weeks. When I attempt to remove automated CVE announcements (bots), the drop is even more significant, dropping from over 500 a day down to 66 over the last two weeks, an 87% decrease in CVE-related tweets.

From the discussion it seems most of the infosec people have moved over to Mastodon already which is nice.

That's true, duplicate copies of the same book is perhaps the main pain on bookwyrm right now. On the other hand it also feels like a problem that devs must be aware of and are actively trying to figure out a solution for.

 

Goodreads is perhaps the best example of enshittification imo. It's only good now as a way to track your reading lists.

I tried bookwyrm today and it feels quite polished already, like giving you a guided tour of it's features. Hopefully it takes off as well similar to mastodon and lemmy.

If you want fan translated chapters - Mangadex

for official translations - Mangasee

for both - Comick

if you want to download them you can either use tools like tachiyomi, hakuneko or fdm2 that allows you to ddl from most major sites or use nyaa if you are comfortable with torrenting.

It depended on how you used reddit. They were extremely fast, had no ads, trackers or javascript so were extremely privacy friendly. But they were read only so you couldn't engage with the reddit content through them.

It's an interesting thing to ponder and my opinion is that like many other things in life something being 'OC' is a spectrum rather than a binary thing.

If I apply a B&W filter on an image is that OC? Obviously not

But what if I make an artwork that's formed by hundreds of smaller artworks, like this example? This definitely deserves the OC tag

AI art is also somewhere in that spectrum and even then it changes depending on how AI was used to make the art. Each person has a different line on the spectrum where things transition from non OC to OC, so the answer to this would be different for everyone.

 

Libreddit is going down as well.

The silver lining here is that both of them are wholeheartedly recommending lemmy as the alternative, so it should provide an extra push to those on the fence about migrating

Instance admins can setup a slur filter for their instance, which automatically removes that word from ever appearing on that particular instance.

If you want some method of making all filenames have same format, use advanced renamer

If you want something to automatically fetch metadata, use calibre or YAClibrary.

Yea some countries have strict piracy laws, that's why using a VPN and following basic privacy becomes necessary while pirating.

Ahh yes this is one of my favorite quotes and one I think about a lot.

This is probably outdated since feddit federates with us, I even joined some of their communities.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Right now it's not even mastodon compatible let alone lemmy. There are some arguments on how federating with them will allow people to migrate to a more privacy respecting instance and still view threads content, and some users say this will allow them to still communicate with their friends who don't want to switch away from threads.

So while we do lean towards defederating from it, it's some months away before we need to actually decide and till then we are simply listening to and discussing both sides of the argument.

that community got famous so naturally will have more posts now, can't do (or should) anything about it imo. Thanks for thinking about the instance though.
