I'm glad that I managed to convince my mate not to have his stag party at the strip club in town. Because he doesn't know that his daughter is a dancer there.
@fesshole Whoever posted this is a hero for not outing his mate's daughter. Sex work is work, and she doesn't need the additional stress of her dad being a judgemental fuck about it. :)
New bed has arrived!
Well, mostly. Hopefully a headboard will arrive soon.
@neil “Eventual consistency” of a new bed, when rest of the parts arrive. 😅
@ReggieHere maybe; but he knows that he knows more than they do...
Ah, yes. I forgot that he knows everything (:

@chris How are you coping? How many animals were you able to bring onto your ark to cope with the cataclysmic rain?
@jfmezei oh it’s just a normal November day around here! 😊 Lightning again last night with the rain. Now the rain has tapered off and the wind is gusting.
Beautiful west coast day!

(Not fond of how the article breathlessly lingers over other projects by the researcher in question simply because they include "AI" buzzwords, but still this is useful information.)
@Viss LOL fake VNC servers as advertising?

I'd happily leave in an ultra-modern, minimalist environment.
It is not to be.

This weekend will see the start of my decorating project on my study. I'm going full gothic/dark academia: deep plum and black Victorian style wallpaper, black ironwork, faux gas lamps, ceiling height built in bookcase, gothic curios like mummified fairies under a glass cloche, statuette of Lilith etc. Sounds like everything you'd hate @neil ☺️
I'm going to invest in some steampunk cosplay gear. Join Teams meeting in a leather corset and top hat, and so on..
@tusharhero @alex I do think that this is terrible. 😀
@publicvoit You are free to believe that.

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

@publicvoit @alex I define what terrible means to me. Simple as that. What's so complicated about that?

Apple is shuttering its 28-year-old online community forum
Apple has already made the forum read-only.

@ilja I'm going to add the link to the map to hrt.cat rather than the top post. mostly because the post focused almost exclusively on DIY, and hrt.cat I'm allowing to be a bit broader
