Cruising the . Let's seed more resilient communities

It's just as weird from kbin, but hey, it boosts discoverability, so I'm alright with it

They would need jet turbine-loud hearing aids with how tone deaf they are

That's genius honestly. The void should win this year

Intel and ASUS Agree to Term Sheet to Take Intel NUC Systems Product Line Forward (www.intel.com)

Hot on the heels of last week’s announcement that Intel would end their NUC line, Intel and ASUS have struck a non-exclusive deal that will see ASUS assume manufacturing, sales, and support of 10th to 13th Gen NUCs. ASUS will also be able to develop future NUC designs; all under a new business unit called ASUS NUC BU.

Oh cool, another ASUS PC company spinoff, add it to the pile

Paradoxically, Google is the one Android manufacturer dedicated to device experimentation and security (and I stress security, not privacy) in a way that allows for a secure mobile os stack that's resilient to spyware or tampering. Graphene build on the security and privacy that few other OEMs match on Pixel.

If you build it, bots will come. 'Twas inevitably a more pressing concern when you suddenly have 30 mil+ signups in less than 2 weeks.

Hopefully our admin communities will handle our bot waves strongly.

I was getting really bad vibes when the free-speech maximalists and losers like the Sinfest artist were recommending it, and I guess I was right, sadly.

I'd be way more interested in if they partnered with Microsoft to bring these games to Xbox and Game Pass. A proprietary cloud streaming subscription on top of a platform with built in cloud streaming/subscriptions is....silly

Yeah the whole Samsung moon shots (possibly r/Android's biggest moment as a subreddit) really kinda laid out, paired with the anxiety around AI, that our phone cameras...are not really capturing what we see anymore, or what was even there anymore. There's levels to it of course, but it is unsettling that we're going to be in this space of not even trusting any image for a long, long time.

A revocation of intellectual property will most likely require similar forces to the revocation of private capital — societally huge shifts in income distribution, production, infrastructure, and scale. I think those changes are worth making, but doing so would be very, very hard.
I am amenable to making current law much more reasonable, such as requiring a maintenance to keep IP relevant, cutting IP protection down to lifetime of author (not the company), making government funded IP freely or cheaply available to the public, putting abandonware into the commons after 10 years, fully legalizing emulators, etc.

Reddit removes years of chat and message archives from users' accounts (mashable.com)

Reddit recently removed years of chat and message archives from users’ accounts without warning as part of an infrastructure upgrade. Many Redditors were upset to discover that their chat histories from before January 2023 were no longer accessible. Reddit claims they only migrated data from 2023 forward during the transition...

I am no longer apathetic but livid

Fuck u/spez.

Chiming in to confirm I'm getting this as of two days ago (and still now)

What I want, and I think that's what the OP is talking about, is simply to have a way to slow down the posts from the more active communities - kinda like how Reddit didn't show you all of the content of a very active sub when you were on your main feed, but only the hottest threads, and you'd get a mix of threads from very big active subreddits and smaller more inactive subreddits. I love the LOTR meme communities, for example, but I don't want to see all of their posts on my main feed, since it drowns out discussions from other smaller communities.

Yes, this exactly.

Oooh boy, that's not gonna sit well with the kind strangers

Oh for want of a kind stranger.

Over 200% markup in a single pricing change, yeesh

You think they'd gradually ease people into it at least. This app is always on something

quortez,
quortez avatar

I always got confused with percentage increases and whether they were relative to the original amount (going from 100% load to 300% load) or whether they were adding on top of the original amount (adding 200% on top of 100% to make 300%).

Regardless, that's a ridiculous jump.

I do hope the Kbin team can implement something akin to Lemmy's cross posting but even more involved; like stacking similar posts with the same source URL into one post on a feed, or grouping communities with the same name in with matching hashtags

errante, to RedditMigration

@RedditMigration Are you guys friends with your wife's boyfriends? Is there a forum for that here?

quortez,

@errante it shows up on kbin.social's microblog section, though I don't understand what you're asking

quortez,

That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see how it works out for them.

Well, you can't say he doesn't have audacity.

I could do without Spacer's Choice personally. Really sucks that Take Two gets to shit all over the first game while Obsidian is busy on the second.
