So the difference is who decides what changes to make when interacting with the subject of the measure: workers vs management. Making the measure a target is basically a shitty management technique that abdicates responsibility.

It’s a cat and mouse game, except the mouse has effectively infinite lives.

Nah, there’s so little shadowing because it’s a foggy overcast day. It’s basically a giant lightbox.

I wish 3D had stuck around long enough to get a 4k HDR 3D release of it. Ah well, maybe 3D movies will come back again in another 20 years with higher framerates and better displays.

Get the fuck out of here with your logic! We’re not here to be right, we’re here to win!

FUCK raisins. The nasty little fucks can go decay in a corner alone for all I care.

That one might have in the shower

Eh, if you’re mostly just consuming/lurking, it’s probably better to use Lemmy by viewing all posts on all communities on all instances, then filtering out the communities you don’t like. Gonna be like that until it gets more popular, and importantly, stops becoming less popular.

Even on a slow connection, if you’ve clicked the link, you’re there to view the post. The image simply must be visible by default. It would be more interesting to allow clients to choose what image quality to load, but I don’t know a good way to do that. Maybe default to low quality, then you can choose high quality after logging in?

I don’t like Reddit’s approach. It hides nearly all information about the post. You don’t get to see the number of upvotes or comments, and you can only see as much of the title as fits on a single line.

I’d rather the image post viewer default to an expanded state, and have a clearer delineation between the image and comments. Right now, there’s not even a header saying “Comments”. You’re expected to just know.

Nice, thanks for the link. That link is about the posting side, whereas I was talking only about the viewing side (apparently covered in issue 808), but the posting side is arguably even more important in reducing fragmentation. Just as it’s frustrating to group N communities for viewing, it’s equally frustrating to post to N communities, and then have to interact with them separately.

Linking to Lemmy image posts is a bad experience. This use case needs to be much better because content is the main way that non-Lemmy users can be motivated to join Lemmy. I tried to share this with a friend yesterday, and had to explain that the image I actually wanted them to see is locked behind a tiny thumbnail, and that the full size Good Place Janet someone commented is not what I wanted them to see (at least not without the context of the posted image).

There’s no way to open a shared Lemmy link in your client of choice. You can manually add URLs on Android, but you have to do that for every Lemmy instance, so that’s not going to fly. I don’t know if there’s any solution at all on iOS.

There’s not a good way to control what content I see. It’s essentially either “everything” or “a single community”. On Reddit, you could already have multiple communities about the same topic on Reddit, but usually one was dominant, and you had multireddits to save you if there truly are a few good related subreddits. Now on Lemmy, you multiply that problem by N instances, and subtract the multireddit feature. This situation simply must be made better somehow.

YouTube is a business with a clearly-defined business model, precisely-tracked direct metrics, and automation up the wazoo. Not a government taking taxes and dealing with human elements for which there are very few direct metrics. They can pay creators based on watch hours or some other usage metric.

Fax is still quite popular in healthcare. It needs to die already…

I loved the video it has about nuclear fission reactions.

DEEDEEDEEDEE doodoodoodoo DEdoo DEdrrr AA DIIP hhhhhhhhhhhh

Sign up for a month, binge, cancel, next.

That’s not going to last. As soon as they run the numbers and decide it’s worth it, they’ll create ways to lock you in.

I’ll be completely unsurprised when streaming companies start enticing or forcing us into term agreements.

Stopping math is never a good idea. By limiting your own constituents, you set their progress back from what other governments’ constituents can achieve.

Also, effectively replacing a CEO requires AGI level capabilities. We’re closer to that than ever before, but LLMs in their current state aren’t it.

They lost almost half their ad revenue. I’d call that recent. Of course, it hasn’t actually killed the platform…
