Fair warning that Element is not anywhere close to being as polished as Discord, but it doesn’t hurt to just suggest to try it out and see what the reception is like. As others have said you probably don’t push the matter too hard but it doesn’t hurt to ask and lay out your reasons.
Not in New York City apparently but yes hopefully they’re more affordable for smaller libraries.
I did not realize you were OP (or even had a Lemmy account) 😂
Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn’t caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It’s great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.
@rysiek@mstdn.social’s blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.
100%
The American system is far from ideal but I’m convinced 90% of social media posts decrying a “lack of choice” or “monoparty” are cynical actors trying to make pro-democracy voters feel hopeless. I remember in 2019 all of the “The DNC installed Biden” language was all over Reddit.
I’ve never seen someone just blatantly lie about primaries not existing anymore though!
Yeah I have to imagine much of it is bots/artificial views already, this line from the article stood out:
That means this short reel has been viewed more times than every single article 404 Media has ever published, combined and multiplied tens of times.
It doesn’t shock me a single reel has significantly more views than all of 404 media, but “multiplied tens of times”? A recent comment me chuckle:
“Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore.”
(implying the ad views are faked to increase the stock price).
I think it’s interesting how “maximizing for engagement” inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?
Generally it’s been an overall positive experience.
…Propaganda? Cnet?
Well said. I think AI “art” is really best considered just a form of entertainment since there is no human perspective put into it. Adam Savage said it best (paraphrasing here) “In order for me to be interested in a work of art it needs to be coming from a point of view. I don’t see anything resembling a point of view with AI.”
Not bad for free. Appreciate you checking.
Yeah I’ll concede that Satoshi almost certainly had unrealized but aspirational goals for the tech, but speaking personally as far back as I can remember, crypto’s primary function was a speculative asset.
Ok thanks not bad! How much storage?
What are the specs like?
Eh, cryptocurrency was never supposed to solve any problem, it was a proof of concept that pariah states realized could enable them to avoid US sanctions. The “it’s more secure than banks” talking points were conceived after the fact by the grifters.
Sudachi is also being updated, though it’s entirely minor issues and not compatibility related yet.
