Not ChatGPT, but other new AI stuff is likely to take a few jobs. Actors and voice-actors among other.


I have come over a few Reddit communities who moved to Discord of all things. I don’t get why. That isn’t even remotely the same type of discussion platform.


Its the same jokes and the same characters. Feels like no time has passed at all since previous season. I’m not sure if thats a good or a bad thing. On one hand I was hoping they evolved a bit more, on the other hand any changes would have launched the ire of those who expect stuff to stay the same. On a third sewer-mutant hand they tried doing different with Disenchanted, I loved that they did, but it failed.


Huh. Got a nonsense reply like this when I was ranting on reddit too. One person who suddenly claimed “so you just admitted you cheated” when theres nothing in the post about actually admitting cheating. A bot who cant read properly? 😂


I was instantly permabanned for adding RAM to my computer while having the game installed. First game I’ve ever been banned before. And instantly permanent? I would think there would be a warning at least! I wonder how many else are falsely banned… Because @kadu@lemmy.world have a point, it used to be those who cheated who complained, and this makes it difficult for a faulty cheat detection to be picked up by the devs. More so when they think “they have fixed it” after the first time a wave got falsely banned.

I spent a day really angry about it, ranting on reddit. Was pretty shocked from it. Then I calmed down and figured I didnt enjoy that game enough to take it further.


And so did the Animaniacs reboot. I’m sensing a trend. Or maybe just a coincidence.


Only one episode?! Now I have to binge at least 9 older episodes!


Same. A solid watch. And lightweight and comfortable. And a style I enjoy. A decent app. Just too bad it ate another smart watch company, before itself got eaten by google, who so far has done nothing with it except slowly killing features. We are truly living in the age of #enshittification.


And if you miss PWAs, Firefox got an extension for it now. Check out PWAsForFirefox. And unless Edge and Chrome, you can edit the name before pinning the site.

A few bugs and drawbacks though. It uses its own profile, so you will probably want Firefox Sync to transfer your password vault and extensions to it.


Why would he tweet about his losses in the first place? I applaud his openness (/s) but I doubt any investors or advertisers will come running to a dying social networking.


They put ads into their mobile app, between every 2nd post, that are literally scamming users to look at or click them, and they still come out negative?! Jeez. If ads are really bringing in so little money, maybe its time to drop the whole “free service with ads” business model and go back to subscriptions.


I said I would never join facebook. Or msn messenger. Or Discord. Or Twitch. Or Twitter. But then everyone and their grandmas started using them. And despite knowing already back then they would use me as the product, I hesitantly joined.

So if they manage to release an EU-legal version, and everyone-ish joins, and mastodon becomes barren, I might join. Again. Its not like they dont know everything about me already.

The cynic in me have realized most people jumps on whatever is advertised to them and is cheap, and call anything that isnt advertised enough or too expensive for “difficult” or “looks stupid”. Those who claims ads doesn’t work on them are extra prone to jump on anything commercial while downtalking better and free’er options. So we can’t win this way.
