I don't think they would do that unless Lemmy continues to grow to a point where it challenges Reddit. Then it becomes a technical issue. I don't think they can do that. It was one thing for threads to do it, being designed with that in mind from day 1, but it's completely different for Reddit to do it. There are so many features that just wouldn't make the jump, and so much content that would need to be reworked.

If they were going to do it, it would most likely be a clean break where you just can't access old Reddit content on Lemmy, but all their new stuff would be accessible.

I also just don't see them giving away their content like that after cracking down on the API how they did.

Oh yeah we're 100% agreed on that. I'm thinking of the AI evangelicals who will argue tooth and nail that LLMs have "emergent properties" of intelligence, and that it's simply an issue of training data/compute power before we'll get some digital god being. Unfortunately these people exist, and they're depressingly common. They've definitely reduced in numbers since AI hype has died down though.

I think it was a donation system. But they were making some money off it so 🤷

They wouldn't have posted if they knew this was going to happen. They posted because it was fun, not for this.

They may be morally opposed to AI (as there are many valid reasons to be opposed to it), or they may just have wanted to have been able to make an informed decision before posting, but by retroactively training the AI on their posts they've robbed them of the agency to make that decision.

That's why they're upset.

How is not wanting capitalist companies to profit off of your content not aligned with complaining about the capitalist mindset of the world? Wtf lol.

No, it's obviously better to have the choice (run the game or not). And losing a game that previously worked on Linux is obviously a bad thing, hence the joke about it being good.

Of course you could argue that taking a stance against this kind of intrusive anticheat is good in the long run. If Microsoft had a backbone they'd do the same.

But yeah losing games because of anticheat is obviously a bad thing lol. No need to take it so seriously.

Views don't update in real time but likes do. Always happens with big videos like this. It's something to do with YouTube reconciling the view counts across multiple servers, which gets very difficult with large numbers. It's a bit easier for them to create a stable like count when each user can only like it once, so they're essentially adding that user to a list and then counting the length of the list.

Definitely not. There's much less land mass in the southern hemisphere, so there's also less utilisation of natural energy. Speaking as an Australian we're also not super great at embracing the whole renewables thing so that definitely comes into it too lol.

Are we sure Tesla hasn't done this too? Sounds like something they'd do.

I think the real problem is that Twitter's account URLs are like twitter.com/username. They haven't given themselves any wiggle room to mess with stuff like this. This is why most other sites have URLs like twitter.com/user/username, so then they can mess around with various other pages that don't eat into their available usernames (another interesting quirk of this is that there cannot be a user on twitter with the username "home", because twitter.com/home is the home feed). If they want to change it now it'll break every linked account across the internet.

Damn really? I didn't notice any difference in DiMaggio's voice but maybe I need to binge the old seasons as I haven't watched them in a while.
