Twitter now blocking all DMs from non-Twitter Blue subscribers by default
  • Habit and familiarity, really. I saw a YouTuber recently argue against Mastodon and Threads because "people simply don't change platforms so I'm sticking with Twitter, despite its issues." Which is an insane take, imo, but one from a user.

    Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set
  • They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.

    My two cents is there's a structural issue that's converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you'll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.

    GOP chair caught on camera saying "we need to extinguish the left"
  • one test and when you pass it you don’t have to go to school anymore.

    In America it's called the GED. I know this because a friend of mine took it at 15 and started community college immediately.

    GOP chair caught on camera saying "we need to extinguish the left"
  • You're personal life aside, cause I understand middle/high school is the worst, what do you mean by "decentralized schooling" and what does that mean in your view? Is it curriculum or who "runs" the building?

    This news site is 60% Amazon ads.
  • Ooh yeah, I never thought about that. While I disagree with some of my funcitonals, I don't die inside knowing it's going to be painful to people viewing ads.

    pointers are very eleganto
  • H-how did this meme clear up a confusion I have with ** pointers after all these years?

    They're just pointer pointers!

    Dang, that is so cool C can do that.

    Is it just me, or is Lemmy 1000% better?
  • Tbf, I have a slight feeling the users here might have a FOSS bend at a higher clip, so that perspective is to be expected.

    I know because I'm one of these guys. Insert any tech company in for X and I'll have something to grumble about after a few beers 😅

    /r/AccidentalRenaissance moderators have all resigned. The subreddit has permanently shut down and moved to Lemmy.
  • I take a train to the city, and I bike to the station whenever I need to go into the office. The amount of disabled folk I see that could not transport themselves otherwise because a car is requisite would shock you.

    The point of their community is improving public transport so it isn't as car centric and a requirement to participate society.

    I don't see exactly how that's "commie" to strive for a more democratic society.

  • Yeah, this kinda hit me whenever my first pair of AirPods died because I was using them so much. They have such tiny batteries, so a percentage difference in total charging capacity was felt quicker. Additionally, the use-case lends to them being discharged almost completely, which hurts life further. While it's convenient, I realized I was paying a really sharp subscription service where there's no service from the manufacturer to continue the use of the parts and ultimately the product is designed to be landfill debris.

    I switched to a wire after that.

  • I recently followed Andrew Tsai's video which detailed how to play Diablo4 with CodeWeavers after integrating it with the Game Porting Tool Kit. The game runs, but I'm on the basest-of-line M1 Air, so it stutters a little bit.

    Is anyone else playing games using the Toolkit on the M2 — just asking for a friend! :)

    Happy weekend.
