God I want to do that but for some reason Prime Video on my laptop is locked to like 480p on “highest quality” but when I cast to my TV on my phone it’s full HD. Like what gives??
Do they hate that I’m on Linux using Firefox or something?? I tried Chrome and had the same issue.
Tried searching for the answer but all the Reddit posts say “it’s just your slow ass Internet”!! Nah man I’m on fibre.
(Edit: though I do use my HDMI for videos I have on my hard drive ofc, but sometimes I don’t want to bother looking for alternative sources…)
It’s a Linux thing. I have the same problem and when I looked it up I believe I found Amazon just won’t stream full quality on Linux browsers for some reason, I forget why exactly but it’s very annoying.
Edit: Found this which says if not on Windows or Mac it restricts you to standard definition. Amazon.com
I think this button don’t actually do anything similar to those age verification site. My best guess it’s meant to make an actual terrorist to put them unease giving chance for airport police to detect basically psy ops.
I think it was always the same psychology of making a number go up makes people get dopamine or something. Otherwise, it was a system to try and filter out bots used for astroturfing that I felt didn't really do a good job. There were always plenty of karma farming bots that would literally just copy and paste a different comment to create a fake post history.
I guess I do get a bit of a dopamine hit when someone likes an individual post of mine, but beyond that, like an overall “what do people think of me in terms of how many posts I get upvoted?” Couldn’t care less. But sure, someone telling me they liked what I said enough to make a tiny bit of effort to tell me that, that’s nice.
Its original intent was to filter good vs. bad content. Prior to karma/voting systems, message boards were just a list of the most recent posts by anyone. With a voting system, people can decide what content best fits the community’s purpose. If I post a dog image on a cat forum, people can downvote the post so newcomers aren’t seeing dog pictures on a forum about cats. Without karma, you’re relying entirely on moderators to manage that. It’s basically crowd sourced moderation.
Karma has other issues for sure. It can be manipulated with bots. People tend to use it to say “I don’t like this opinion” and not to say “this opinion is within the domain of this forum”.
All of that being said, I believe karma systems should be hidden from the users. Jerboa is an Android app for Lemmy and it shows the karma count. I don’t prefer that. I like being able to vote, but I don’t want to feel the bias of “big number == good opinion”. But I think karma is a good system for helping moderate the content that shows up in a forum. It’s a democratic way of managing content. But it probably has room for improvement.
That’s what I fucking did. Reddit was shit not because of karma, but because of hivemind and owners. Lemmy is not protected from that either, but at least users potentially have more power here
You can, but there’s absolutely no reason to think the community population will ignore it, once it has its own value the karma whores will arise. People literally sell high karma accounts for real money. You can’t ignore the karma farmers when they are all around you and you can’t ignore the fact that it shapes real user behavior toward hive-mind dribble. Keep karma to the Gods, it is not for mortals to toy with.
In my experience with having Karma as a mod. If the person had negative karma they were a troll or a really bad person. Giving us the ability to make a community feel welcoming.
