So, Microsofts suggestion for the problem of studios beating old IP to death isn’t to support smaller indie projects that are developing new IP.

Doesn’t gamepass make this problem worse? It makes it affordable and incentivizes people to try many of those big AAA games so studios still get paid (maybe less than if it’s bought outright, but still i imagine it’s still compensated).

Oh no, two of my favorite chill out games are on this list (power wash simulator and dorfromantik).

My stress levels cannot handle the thought of losing them.

So how does this work in reality though? Most of the feed is sponsored content. Does that mean that for paid users they would only see posts from their own friends? As in, they get the intended experience of fb?

Imagine paying to get the product a company pretends it is delivering for free. And they still mine your data to sell to the highest any bidder.

Why is the focus only on identifying AI generated photos? Why not force a tag on all AI generated content period? That would help with a lot of applications.

True, but it’s more complicated wiht Lemmy since the duplicate communities aren’t as obvious because of the multiple instances.

Its kind of a bug and a feature since it’s how decentralized services work but it will likely keep Lemmy from growing (at least to the extent that reddit did).

Well that kind of makes sense. After everyone left reddit, people came here and we’re getting told to start communities left and right. I think the new mods need to learn how to do things in a more structured way.

For all it’s flaws, reddit has built a decent system for helping mods get started, even if a lot of the actual support is provided directly by other mods and not by reddit itself.

OMIGOD please let us not have the right to repair conversation about fucking cars.

But this is probably where we are heading unfortunately.

This is a terrible take. Maybe someday your livelihood will be challenged by technology and you’ll get to see why.

Tumblr says it’s going to “fix” its “core experience” to appeal to new users (www.theverge.com)

Tumblr plans to make changes to appeal to new users and improve growth. The post states that Tumblr is currently difficult for new users to use and curates content poorly. Tumblr aims to improve how users discover and sign up, encourage frequent engagement, and boost creators’ ability to attract audiences. Specific changes...

While I generally agree, I think if the internet has taught me anything, it is that the majority of people are, in fact, very, very VERY stupid.

These seem to be based on some core concepts of psychology and interpersonal influence (intended or not). I used to work in that area and picked up a few of these tricks along the way too.

Basically what they do is give your recipient a clear call to action-if you want them to do something, it’s best to ask directly VS tiptoeing around. The best example there being the just wanted to check in one. If you want an update, ask for it. That way there’s no ambiguity what the response needs to be and they can fire it off quickly without thinking. You can wordsmith it to fit your style and company culture but the point is to tell them what you want them to do.

The other thing I see here is a sort of 2-parter. It’s about conveying confidence and positivity in your tone. There’s a lot of nuance to this and personal communication style and context of the situation play in more. But basically these items like ‘nice catch!’ and ‘thanks for your patience’ all kind of do this, showing a kind of team player attitude that also demonstrates that you know your own worth. ‘Happy to help’ does something similar but is more subtle-it avoids the negative tone of things like ‘no problem’ and goes a bit further.

Individually theses communications may have a minimal impact (depending on the situation of course) but over time using this kind of language associates you with positivity and confidence and can help you with with you building work relationships.
