Okay, why would someone prefer this?

Why wouldn’t I just use VLC?

I don’t want to give out any more personal info than I have to

You don’t have to.

1. You can opt out of giving any information whatsoever, just no one will be able to DM you
2. You can create a profile on chat platforms to be paired with your online profile.

comment threads will just be clogged with people having one on one conversations.

I don’t see that happening, personally. Like we could be having this convo 1-1 right now but we aren’t.

I’m strongly in favor of removing DMs on all platforms and asking users to add direct contact info to their user profiles. Email, chat apps, whatever.

It’s been fairly obvious that there were additional spam mitigations needed in the Fediverse, and especially Lemmy. I mean what’s to prevent a bad actor from spinning up thousands of accounts on various servers and using them to manipulate votes and spam messages?

I’m afraid if anyone decided to do that that ActivityPub is inherently flawed in such a way that there would be no way to prevent it.

Nicole is, in a way, doing the Fediverse a favor.

Yeah I unsubbed when he went from clickbait to straight up lying with the “Valve just unleashed SteamOS” video.

Clickbait is just 100x more effective, unfortunately. Anybody not doing it is throwing money away.

Back in the day you paid for newspapers and they were already paid for by the time they were written and reached your lawn so there was no need.

Today the only way to make money is to dangle a carrot and get a click to drive advertising revenue.

What a joke

Good to know, thanks.

Is Mullvad any better?

Same reason you can’t use your Gmail credentials to log into Outlook.

“China”? Like, the government is making video cables now?

Who could have predicted this!?

Nice

For cars like that I’d just recommend the Android head units that will slide right into the radio hole.

How does that work? Do you stand on the phone and it measures the pressure?

BMW makes their engines out of plastic. They work, but not for long.

Weird! Worked fine out of the box for me!

Transcribro

They tried doing something that would have fit with Windows 8 and they ROYALLY screwed that up.

Honestly, they were onto something, but instead of polishing it, or even just starting over, they just abandoned it entirely, never to be revisited.

Its not wrong. The COO of BSky herself told me this.
