This only hides content locally for Threads users, it doesn’t affect visibility from any other fedi platform. It’s not that different from a Lemmy instance downvoting a comment to the point of being auto-hidden; it still exists but requires an extra click to see from your instance, and the rest of the fediverse can access it normally.

That fork seems like a cash grab considering it already has a Patreon.

Have they learned nothing from the lawsuit?

Eh, the built-in speakers on most TVs these days are all pretty trash across the board. You pretty much need a sound bar at the very least, these days.

Unfortunately, it still happens even here on Lemmy. I don’t think we see it as much because most communities here have far fewer mods than adjacent Reddit subs on average, but occasionally you’ll find a mod here who thinks they know better than their community and does whatever they feel like.

I feel like that trope doesn’t really ring true these days, as most of the “general purpose” instances are pretty moderate. Back when Lemmy was still just a small handful of instances, that was definitely the case, but I think the wider adoption has balanced things out a bit closer toward center, overall.

IBM is still just as active, just not in the consumer markets anymore. They’re big into industry research and more specialized computing these days.

That’s generally how it works, yes.

Or it’s the day before March 1.

I like to imagine that this whole event was the result of the first truly rogue AI that generated its own plans for an event, sent out the necessary emails to hire the people to put it together, and everything in secret under its creator’s nose.

It probably isn’t that, though. Because even AI wouldn’t fuck up this badly.

Shame, that one was easy enough that even my mom was able to watch her shows. Hopefully the Hydra regenerates quickly.

How did the wakeyuppymen know what time to start wakeyuppying, tho?

Weird, maybe the Pixel build is slightly different, because that’s not happening on mine and I believe I’ve already got the latest updates for it.

if it worked, there would be no unemployment.

That would imply that 100% of unemployed people are referred to this program, or made aware of its existence at all.

It’s default? When I downloaded it, I had to manually choose Gemini to be the default. It wasn’t set like that for me.

Well, falling into the same traps would be awfully Sisyphean of him.

I don’t believe USPS can open packages without a warrant (which is why they’re the preferred courier for drugs), and I don’t think “multiple packages going to a wrong address” counts as probable cause. But it’s been a minute since I’ve been involved in that end of things, so I dunno if that’s still current protocol.

That’s why you use a fake return address that doesn’t exist. Allowing your product to get into real people’s hands was just asking for trouble.

Spot-on. I knew what this was before I clicked it.

Edit: Within 28 mins I’ve got -9 votes and nothing to answer. Think it proves my point.

The fact that you think there is a “point” to be made when you’re supposed to be the one asking a question and trying to learn, shows us that you had ill intent from the start. You told on yourself with this one.
