Every platform and app I’ve seen does a piss poor job of explaining what federation is and how to sign up. “Wtf is mastodon.social?, Why is this one in German?, Why can’t I login after signing up?” New users just get confused and give up.

They’d have to implement ads eventually anyway. Companies do have budgets, and the money to run Threads has to come from somewhere.

Make one :)

There’s nothing more I want out of a phone than what I have with the P9F right now. Price should come down, but I’m using this thing until it’s dead. Only other thing that could entice me is a rollable like LG was going to release here.

Are they stupid? In fairness, I don’t know how they’re making any money at all. I’ve never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn’t a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.

Apologies, I am but a humble reposter and didn’t check :⁠,⁠-⁠)

Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it. Gamers Nexus The people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.

When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn’t say “oh well”, and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren’t happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like “corpa boss” to me. Now I can’t tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.

I’m not even reading that article because, no. But I’m all for an award system here on lemmy. All money goes to the instance hoster and the user gets badges, maybe a highlighted name. The most gilded users get entered into a giveaway every month or so for something like a T-shirt.

That’s allows for the instances to sustain themselves and gives users more incentive to post, without stupid subscriptions and promoting content farming.

There’s no way they used Gemini and decided it’s better than GPT.

I asked Gemini: “Why can great apes eat raw meat but it’s not advised for humans?”. It said because they have a “stronger stomach acid”. I then asked “what stomach acid is stronger than HCL and which ones do apes use?”. And was met with the response: “Apes do not produce or utilize acids in the way humans do for chemical processes.”.

So I did some research and apes actually have almost neutral stomach acid and mainly rely on enzymes. Absolutely not trustworthy.

Yes, I tried the mastodon app probably about 4 years ago before I knew what federation was. I could not figure out how to sign up and ultimately gave up. There needs to be an app/website that explains it well and guides you through the process.

And honestly both bluesky and mastodon do a poor job if this.

Twitter allows porn now, no?

Who is ‘they’, were to talking to that specific commenter for 2 years? Nope, but it’s only okay to generalize when you do it right?

Crap, I should be shutting the fuck up. God FORBID people don’t think exactly the same as you. Yep let me appease you aew360; Ukraine, Israel, lgbt, democrat. Phew hopefully we’re at peace now.

It’s incredible how disrespectful you had to word your reply to get your point across.

Crap, we’re actually supposed to read the article?

Firstly, WTF is LGBTAIQ2S+?. Secondly, I haven’t experienced any more bigotry here than I would on any other social media platform.

Just have to be patient while reddit continues to ruin themselves. They just got rid of ad personalization opt-out, what’s next?

Should a self-driving car face more rigorous tests than actual human drivers? Honest question.

Read more about it here. A reminder, if you can’t find the sample size then disregard the source.

Sample size isn’t the problem, claiming 0.0000035% applies to the other 99.9999965% is one however. All they need to do is add ‘surveyed’ after Americans and there would be no problem.

The poll of 1,165 adults was conducted Aug. 10-14 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population.

That shouldn’t be at the end of the article after I had to click on a separate article. Poor journalistic practices.
