CaptDust , to showerthoughts in There is no history on the History channel. There's nothing true on TruTV. There's no music on music television. There's no science on the science channel.

All those examples (except MTV) is David Zaslav hard at work. So glad he’s in charge of WB now!

View desktop site, that gets past this bullshit 9 times out of 10.

Fuck 'em on principle though.

My first thought too, but it didn’t work in this case - even opening the link on my PC told me to install the app.

Luckily I found that just replying “yes” to the message worked.

InternetUser2012 , to technology in Bots are running rampant. How do we stop them from ruining Lemmy?

You have to watch where you are if you call out a bot, you’ll have your comment removed and get banned. They tell you to report the bot and they’ll take care of it. Then when you report the obvious troll/bot they ban you for it. Some shady mods out there.

sunzu2 , to explainlikeimfive in ELI5 how come Discord can give out military specs and warn the FBI about a shooter without being tried to shutdown like tictok and others??

One provides the feds with proper access

GarrulousBrevity ,

Mostly because of this. TikTok is the app collecting massive amounts of data on its users with dubious intent and questionable security that is currently being scapegoated, and discord is on the long list of popular apps that collect massive amounts of data their users with dubious intent and questionable security that we are not scapegoating.

KillingTimeItself , to technology in Bots are running rampant. How do we stop them from ruining Lemmy?

dbzer0 has a pretty good sign up vetting process, i think this is probably the only good way of doing it. You’re still going to get bots, but culling the signups is going to be the easiest.

TL;DR just move over to dbzer0 and dont leave the instance :)

Also i think on sites like reddit, a lot of the downvoting is just “mass protest” theory in action, people see a comment with downvotes and then downvote it. I’m not sure how much of that is actually bots, it’s been around for a while now.

Calling a restaurant, in this economy?

My goodness, if a restaurant needed me to have a Yelp app to confirm my reservation I wouldn’t be eating at that restaurant.

Yelp, huge red flag.

NegativeInf ,

You download the yelp app and leave a 1 star review. Restaurants will get the picture.

Leave one on Google Maps too so that Yelp can’t scrub it.

Alien isolation stressed me out. For fun, run monster bash on an emulator.

Nice try bot.

dharmacurious , to nostupidquestions in Where do you even meet people anymore?

Similar boat (sans furry), and I’ve recently decided I’m tired of being lonely. I’ve started going to a trivia night at a local bar that someone from my church hosts, even though I end up playing alone each week*, and I found a MCC church (basically, gay church) and went there, where I found a gay men’s discussion group I’m going to attend on Monday. I have two friends, both straight, but I’m hoping to get them and some people other people either through them or through trivia/discussion group to help start a bowling team.

*Even though I’m the only one playing without a team, I’ve come in second twice!

Nemo , to nostupidquestions in Why is there no Christmas version of Spirit Halloween?

Have you never been to a Kriskindlemarket? There’s half a dozen in Chicago all of November and December.

Davel23 , to nostupidquestions in Why is there no Christmas version of Spirit Halloween?

There was a retail chain called Christmas Tree Shops, and while they weren't exclusively Christmas-themed, it was certainly a part of their brand. I recently learned they closed all stores after over 50 years in business.
