X's controversial changes to blocking and AI training saw half a million users leave for rival Bluesky in just a single day
  • Right. That's what I thought. Not sure what GP is talking about, then.

  • He also has no stake in the company. I'd hardly call that "behind" it.

    AI-Generated George Carlin Drops Comedy Special That Daughter Speaks Out Against: ‘No Machine Will Ever Replace His Genius’
  • "Gatekeeping"??? The man is dead. That's not gatekeeping. People don't need more "content", and certainly aren't entitled to it over his family's wishes. There's gotta be a moral floor somewhere.

    What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
  • I disagree as well. I think it'd be pretty obvious to anyone who's sat in each the difference in comfort, ride quality, material choice, technology, and drivetrain refinement between a Corolla and an AMG.

    I would still buy the Corolla though for the reliability - or better yet, a Lexus which kind of has both.

    It's time to admit Lemmy has won the "the biggest reddit alternative" award, why it's time for all of us to consider supporting it (here's why) + reopening r/LemmyMigration
  • I don't need to be "spoonfed" anything, and it's a little weird for you to assume so. I interact with all of that media, watch film & anime, read books, watch documentaries, etc. on other platforms. I share my music and artwork, I write video games as well. This isn't about what I am up to.

    Lemmy is a discussion site. I just think it'd be cool if we discussed more than what we currently discuss here. I think other prospective users might want to discuss other things than the current fare, and yeah - when it's not here, when wanting to discuss it is dismissed essentially as entitlement & wanting to be "spoonfed", they'll do it elsewhere: reddit.

  • Well, I figure "growth" in this case means increased diversity in communities and users. Maybe it's a double-edged sword, maybe the quality decay is avoidable - maybe not, idk.

    I just think it'd be cool to see things other than linux, lefty, & star trek memes on here sometimes.

  • They would start something for the same reason Russia started something in Ukraine.

    The goal is that another 50 years go by and they don't start shit.

    Who the hell likes Chromatic Aberration?
  • The counterpoint given is artistic expression. If a designer wants the game to feel like an interactive film, then they're going to use the tropes found in films.

    If chromatic abberation enhances the mood or feel or themes of a title, I think it's fine to use as long as there's an optional toggle to remove it for folks that don't like it.
