Yep, beehaw is defederated from a couple of big instances, and so we don’t get any content from those servers, including comments.

For reference, I’ve got 10 comments under this post.

I musta missed the rape joke. I just took this as an acknowledgment and maybe slight celebration that a sex offender is going to jail.

Edit: I forgot I’m on my beehaw account and see a much smaller portion of the comments

Idk all the particulars, I just know my S7 is still not bootloader unlockable, and pretty sure previous galaxy phones weren’t either. That was my last Samsung. Not sure if this was a US thing, a T-Mobile/Sprint think (who I had back then), or a Samsung thing. But HTC and Pixel phones seemed to always be unlockable.

There are models for detecting adult material, idk how well they’d work on CSAM though. Additionally, there exists a hash identification system for known images, idk if it’s available to the public, but I know apple has it.

Idk, but we gotta figure out something

Arrange a high density led strip in this layout, the individually addressable ones. Then you’ve got a new digit display style

We need more decentralization, a federated image/gif host with CSAM protections

CPM on tech, finance, and health (a lot of what I watch) is often $5-10. And apparently google pays creators even more than that rate for premium viewers.

Even so, direct payment is likely to be more profitable to creators than just watching ads or having premium.

But even as a technical person, I’ve never really been interested in finding ways to block ads on my PC, MacBook, iPhone, Android (when I had one), and Roku/AppleTV. And potentially having to keep up with the apparently changing landscape of YouTube adblocker a for each. Sounds like a pain in the ass. I’d rather just pay for family premium, and easily share the benefits with my mom, sister, & wife without having to offer technical support for their ad blocking.

Kbin has a separate tab within a community called “microblog” I think. Any hashtags set by the community are automatically followed in the “microblog” feed and can be fully interacted with.

This doesn’t bring threadiverse content into mastodon, but it does bring kbin users at least, into mastodon.

And with the @ing of lemmy communities, you can post from mastodon to lemmy. There’s some work to be done, for sure, but I think we’re close to a decent solution.

But also, 100% compatibility would be odd, wouldn’t you just switch platforms if you wanted the different functionality.

Samsungs (at least the ones I had) don’t have unlockable bootloaders. And the pixel, well custom Roms don’t fix hardware issues.

no no no, its not a critique specifically of you. Native english speakers do this all the time. And I'm sure its inevitable that "comparatively" will make that transition too.

I'm interested: is there a german word to replace "vergleichsweise " to more explicitly mean "comparison"?

[–] NightAuthor@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

True, true...

Aside: Back in my day, we could use the term "relatively" to mean "in relation to" some other thing. Over time it became "in relation to the average thing" instead of a specific thing. Now it just means "a little bit"/"sort of". Now people use "comparatively" to convey what "relatively" used to mean. Except... you just now seem to be making that same "relatively" transition with the word "comparatively". I just find language interesting, and wonder what the next "relatively" will be once that meaning has been lost even to "comparatively".

There are 2 types of people, the 2/3 year people, and the 20-life people. 10 is a lot to the 2/3 year people.. but not to the others

 

He keeps talking about DSLRs in a mirrorless world, but aside from that, this is wonderfully stupid funny.
