Jeezus. Microsoft can’t do anything without people talking crap about them 😂

Not a big deal.

Wait until you find out how much ram gets wasted in caching and algorithms designed to run faster on computers or improve productivity. Even things like indexing to speed up search or icon caching

It’s a mobile phone. 13gb is lots, and I’d be curious to see the extent that ai improves productivity.

The headline is designed explicitly to bait arguments

Last one I went to, booked it, got half way there and the owner said they hadn’t approved the booking and tried to blame Airbnb. They tried to get me to tell Airbnb I changed my mind lol

Another one, we brought ice cream because in the photos there was a freezer. It was completely full of ice though so couldn’t put the ice cream in

It’s so disappointing that hotels are simply so much better. Airbnb had so much potential

auzy , 18 days ago to nostupidquestions in How do you join a different instance?

You just join another instance like normal.

But having left beehaw recently, I would say I can’t really see any good reasons to leave lemmy world.

I only left beehaw because one admin I felt was overlooking crap people in one specific minority and it was slowly turning into a echo chamber. Ironically, it turns out the crap person in particular coloured my perception of other lemmy servers ages ago to make it seem like other lemmy servers were a cesspool (they are not)

It was also surprisingly unstable compared to lemmy world servers

I haven’t seen any actions by lemmy world admins however which would encourage leaving.

In fact, you can access mostly the same posts from different servers here anyway because servers are mostly federated

Yeah nah. We already have copilot and it introduces so many subtle bugs.

Funny how a few weeks ago he was asskissing the NRA and gun community

Like anything with him, when the obvious happened now he’ll suddenly change his mind… and probably start saying something about Mexicans and “crooked Biden,” isn’t tough on crime which is why he got shot, etc

auzy , 21 days ago to technology in Commentary, behind-the-scenes features, bloopers: What did we lose when we said goodbye to DVDs?

You missed some crappy menu at the beginning that possibly spoiled the movie.

I love watching movies without knowing nothing about it. Like the menu, I simply saw the coverart.

Also why I don’t go cinema anymore. They often spoil a lot in ads

auzy , 23 days ago to technology in YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers

Not sure if its subscribers or views… But, I tried to monitize one or two of my videos, and it wouldn’t let me because I don’t think I had enough views or something.

auzy , 23 days ago to technology in YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers

Yep… i actually looked at Subscribing. But… It’s basically mostly amateur hour and the subscription costs a huge amount.

Even worse, I don’t believe creators even get revenue until they exceed sufficient subscribers. So most people are actually paying youtube to put benefit from other people’s video’s which they have no involvement in.

auzy , 23 days ago (edited 23 days ago) to fediverse in Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

Yes, bias is a thing. Ever hear of the placebo effect? It gives people a bias before clicking the link.

In fact, showing rankings actually makes it easier for bots because of that bias, they just randomly click stuff to appear neutral, and upvote their target posts, which when they say +1.4k, you’ll be biased into thinking it’s a popular opinion. Hence why hiding them by default actually maybe has benefits. There are no advantages to seeing the votes other than abuse. Name some.

As you said, they’re already accessible, so there is no point of bloating the code. Let’s not make them even more so and encourage abuse.

What problem is being solved here by doing this?

auzy , 24 days ago to fediverse in Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

My implementation would be hide it from the UI by default for instances

Also, never said unranked… I meant simply hide the rankings. Part of the disadvantage of showing the totals on the UI means that high upvotes make it seem like it was highly popular. It also means that people don’t mindlessly upvote posts simply because there were a lot of upvotes. By hiding them, you know its popular, but no how popular. It changes the way people interact so it’s more normal.

Showing Upvotes/downvotes doesn’t show whether they are bots are not. It just means they’ll upvote/downvote more random shit and mess around wit the rest of the posts, so more crap rises to the top because they’re interfering with the rankings.

There are easier ways to identify bots… And, it just aids abusive people. I don’t think it will assist with bots at all… Sorry.
