Whenever this comes up I assume people have actually never done cosplay or haven't spent much time around cosplayers.

Cosplayers spend 50% of conventions fixing their outfit. It never lasts the day. You can't be tinkering with outfits on an 8-12hr shoot day every single time the person takes too big of a step or walks up a flight of stairs.

The woman on the right in this image is standing completely still in a "normal" pose for a still photo. Go have her do 6 days on a film set and let's see how that outfit turns out.

That's fair, the hand is a dead giveaway now that I look. But anyway my point largely stands I like to think lol guess I need to check hands more often sadly

This is the second tech community to do this in 2 days. The megathread in the other instance is already dead one day in. This stifles discussion, it does not just move it around.

To borrow from one of my comments over there: Nobody checks megathreads unless it’s an ongoing, high profile situation. I guarantee you this megathread is going to get essentially no engagement within 48 hours and now for some odd reason all news about SpaceX, Twitter, Tesla, and Musk, is functionally banned.

This is a terrible idea and I know every mod here knows this is functionally a ban. I can't stand Musk but this is a really bad idea.

Honestly, I would respect the move a lot more if the mods would just own up to the fact that they are banning all things related to Elon musk, instead of putting lipstick on the pig that is this decision.

That comic is not applicable. You don't have to speak english to report or see a UFO. That doesn't make any sense. What it does tell us (to follow the language thread) is english-speakers seem more susceptible to believing they saw it. It's a cultural issue is the implication.

This doesn’t prove anything other than susceptible people are relatively evenly distributed.

The point is the susceptible people are heavily concentrated in the US and the UK. Arguably Australia/NZ. How on earth is this map evenly distributed to you?

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

So I think you're missing the point because I agree. The implication is all of these sightings are nonsense/not real, the public is just really susceptible in these areas for the exact reasons you and I are talking about.

Notice the comment I was initially responding to. It's the kind of video that would make an english speaker's imagination run wild

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

Ha all good. Also sorry "you're missing the point" is a little more abrasive phrasing than I initially intended.

It’s their platform they do whatever they want.

Yes.

What a dumb thing to complain about.

I mean if I had a social media account just taken from me without warning or recourse I'd at the very least be irritated. How about you give me your account password and just let me take over? You can just go make a new one.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

The “dumb thing” to complain about is that they did not pay him any money.

They'd pay a celebrity for it. Why should we be any different?

It’s a dick move

Yes that's literally what everyone is saying. We aren't asserting "rights" on twitter or something.

@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

We must be in different threads because I'm not seeing that. Unless you want to stretch that one comment about identity theft or the one about banking a fair bit.

God I just got flashbacks to “edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!”

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

I agree that’s what it supposed to be, but nobody really treats it like that. Downvotes are treated as a “dislike” button, despite the fact that it should be “this does not contribute meaningfully.“

Regardless of what we want, that’s just how people operate.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

You're so right. I have absolutely no access to Lemmy, especially not Memmy on my smartphone. There is no possible way for me to know how it works.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

Ok? It’s the default just like Reddit. We have a massive migration of people from Reddit operating like they’re still on Reddit because they’re on a site that’s meant to be a replacement for…Reddit. And one day it won’t be flawed/broken I imagine.

I really am not interested in discussing this with someone who is so eager to discount someone’s point because they use a different side of fediverse tbh.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

Which doesn’t solve the issue at all. It’s just trading problems. It biases new content just like Reddit’s karma algo did. Same problem, different flavor.

Memmy, which at least anecdotally seems like the most popular app for Lemmy, definitely sorts by hot. I guess I should not have assumed that Lemmy does that.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

None of that will stop the chilling effect this functional ban is creating. Notice not a single post/comment about Musk, Twitter/X, Tesla, and SpaceX has gone up yet they claim we were basically drowning in them prior. So if we were, why aren't they happening here now? The answer is: No one will bother.

I don't love Musk and frankly I'd like to see less but it also takes me less than a fraction of a second to scroll past it. This change will not lead to them being aggregated in one place, it will simply mean the topic disappears entirely. If that's what the community wants so be it but this wishful thinking that it won't have the chilling effect I'm mentioning here is, well, wishful thinking.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

To people who do have concerns though, if you’re tech minded maybe look at contributing to a way of improving the functionality of Lemmy. It’s in our gift to improve this place so if we can do something about it then we should, rather than passively complain when things aren’t how we want them to be.

This has literally nothing to do with whether or not relegating topics to megathreads is a good thing. In order to fix the issues with megathreads, we'd have to fundamentally change how these forums work, which no one is going to do and users aren't going to follow unless most, if not all, instances follow suit. It has to be baked into the platform. The entire cycle of content sites like reddit, lemmy, etc. depend on is antithetical to megathreads outside of extreme high profile events, such as a presidential election or (yet another) still ongoing school shooting or something.

Day 3 and not a single post/comment about Musk, just you taking a needless jab at me because it's funny to you. This thread is dead except for you and me right now.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

Well for starters it wasn't purchased by or for schools so no. But even if it was, it gets far more than 3 years of support. I think 5 is somewhat reasonable if we're just going to accept this sort of behavior.

Either way the comparison is not really apt. Mobile devices are far worse about this than PC's. You should instead compare a macbook (or a cheap windows machine), which gets security updates for 7-10 years. Google knows their devices are very popular for school computers, so to treat them like mobile devices and enforce the terrible standards that comes with is pernicious.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

It was one example, and if you'll notice I said "or just any affordable windows machine," I don't know why you're ignoring that.

As for the 2017 releases getting less than 5 years support, I have never heard of this nor am I finding any examples. Here is the Monterey (apple's current OS version) compatibility list, which consists of computers as far back as 2013. So I'd be curious to see what you're referencing. Catalina, the previous OS which dates back even further with compatibility, had security updates until about 8mo ago as well.

3 years is unacceptable on Google's part and Apple hasn't come anywhere close to that.

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

How is it cherrypicking? The OS isn't even out yet. I'm literally going off the current OS.

Where is this computer that got dropped after less than 5 years?

hoodatninja , (edited )
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

You need a source because this directly contradicts you.

That is not under 5 years.

Edit: Additionally, Monterey will get security updates until mid-2024. That's 7 years for your 2017 models, which is the most recent, and only impacts the 2017 MBAir.
