I will never understand fashion
  • Whenever I get to know brands like these I wonder how many $800+ clothes I have unknowingly seen on people that I just thought of "damn, that's ugly." and went on with my day.

    Nvidia GeForce Now is putting video ads before play sessions on their free tier
  • I used to have the "Founders Edition" subscription tier from when GeForce Now was introduced. It was like 25$/quarter and a limited time offer for the first subscribers of GeForce Now. It was on par with the premium tier (best servers, no time limit, and best quality + ray tracing). Of course, over the years, it got degraded to second best servers, 6 hour session limit, max. 1080p and so on ... Then I quit.

    Immer öfter kommen Briefe verspätet oder gar nicht an
  • Was uns auf der Arbeit aufgefallen ist, dass wir deutlich öfter und regelmäßig falsch zugestellte Briefe im Postfach haben. Manchmal legen wir die selben Briefe 5-6 mal zu den Rückläufern.

  • Moin Leute, ich möchte gerne digital Alben kaufen und dann auch die Möglichkeit haben, diese Musik herunterzuladen. Bei Amazon habe ich das schon einmal gemacht, aber ich bin seit diesem Jahr "Amazonlos" unterwegs. Ich finde jetzt aber irgendwie keinen anderen Anbieter? Apple Music wird noch vorschlagen, aber ohne Windows 10 und iTunes wird das nichts. Auf Linux eher nicht so die Lösung für mich. Funktioniert das bei Google Music vielleicht? Danke für eure Hilfe.

    Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.
  • From my understanding of your earlier comment you said casual Threads users will find out about Lemmy servers for the first time and I asked about how that will work out from the perspective of a threads user. I hoped for an answer of that.

  • What do you mean by "find Lemmy servers?" I mean, can you describe how that will look like from the perspective of someone that is using threads? And how that will motivate more common people to change the platform or browsing behavior?

    Adam Mosseri spells out Threads’ plans for the fediverse | The head of Instagram says a full integration with the fediverse could take ‘the better part of a year’
  • What is concerning is his wording about "to leave threads". Consider that whatever saying in this interview is carefully laid out beforehand. What reason is there for a corporation that is living of it's users to just so casually let them leave like they please with everything that is giving value to Meta? He is not talking about wanting the users to leave threads, but to be able to migrate either direction. Who is going to win that fight in the end? The corporation who's solely goal is to win or the free and open community that is so tolerant that it invites the beast it fled from?

    Threads Has Begun Federating Via ActivityPub
  • What happens if you merge the user base of a small network and a huge network? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect Will the small network gain from the huge one or the other way round? Also there is a lot to gain. The users base of the fediverse and it's infrastructure grew by 5x in the last two years: https://fedidb.org/ Meta has a big interest in extinguishing a competitor before it profits from the bandwagon effect.

  • Great and such, but the large majority that might come to the Fediverse will never look nor use that function. If we don't defederate with our instances now, we never will.

    Eugen's post about Threads integration
  • A natural network effect will pull in users in a network. Watering down our decentralized network with Metas network will make all of Fediverses advantages indistinguishable from the users perspective. Decentralization is not something you experience as a user anyway so there will be no obvious reason for someone coming from threads to switch over to the Fediverese. The other way round is more likely. Meta has insane design and market power to push out better Apps, faster CDNs and marketing to give users a better "Fediverse".

  • Yes, but I advocate for decentralized social media to become the status quo and not the fallback role when corpo controlled media ends it's life cycle via enshittification again.

    Eugen's post about Threads integration
  • Curious users can find the fediverse anyway if there were interested in changing social media platforms. Meta has NO good reasonable use to integrate the fediverse. Compared to Metas cumulative social media user size we are but a tiny hub of users. So here again: there is NO good reason for them to just causally go "oh hi guys, let's be friends!" The only reason is to extinguish competition before it gets larger. It's like Starbucks slapping down a store next to your local coffee shop because "wow we both like coffee, let's be friends so our customers can enjoy coffee together and have a talk!" It's a deceptive strategy.

  • Moin, gibt es noch Streaminganbieter, die Full HD (1080p) auf dem Mobiltelefon/Tablet/PC anbieten? Meiner neusten Erkenntnis nach geht 1080p nur noch auf Smart TVs oder extra Zusatzgeräten. Hat mich total überrascht, ich find einfach keinen legalen Weg mehr Filme in 1080p im Bett zu gucken.
