I don’t like teen dramas and I don’t particularly like romance plots, can someone explain why I’m loving this show so much?

I’m loving this show

what’s up with Captain Ake being…extremely unprofessional?

Uh, are we watching the same show? She seems to have the complete and total respect of those around her, including Dadmiral and even the bad guy.

No a pro-piracy argument, but most artists get fractions of a penny from the sales of media anyway. Only the biggest stars are paid a fair share of the profits. I always try to find a way to support directly or use a platform (bandcamp, steam) that adds some value and gives a majority to the creator.

Back up an image the entire operating system HD when it’s working well. If you ever get overwhelmed with bugs you can always go back to a functioning state.

We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.

From ArsTechnica:

According to DuckDuckGo, chats on the service are anonymized, with metadata and IP address removed to prevent tracing back to individuals. The company states that chats are not used for AI model training, citing its privacy policy and terms of use.

“We have agreements in place with all model providers to ensure that any saved chats are completely deleted by the providers within 30 days,” says DuckDuckGo, “and that none of the chats made on our platform can be used to train or improve the models.”

So there is some trust involved, but I’m inclined to believe DDG.

Stock Android pretty much does, but it isn’t what you think it is..

Yeah I agree, it’s designed for discussion, not shitposts.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand the mind of a viewer who gives a shit about aggregated rating scores like that.

ok👍

Whenever I hear that a MAGA member is also a Star Trek fan:

This makes sense to me if you consider the type of person who is likely to leave reddit is also less likely to be just a passive consumer of content. I imagine in ten years time we’ll have two kinds of “social” media: decentralized activitypub discussion-based networks, and commercial entertainment platforms that might have comments but little else in the way of connecting.

Another stat I like to highlight is the moderator-to-user ratio on Lemmy (and the rest of the Fediverse) is similarly around 10x more improved.

When i said “designed for discussion” I meant that Mastodon posts are displayed in chronological order instead of sorted by engagement.

I agree that would result in a commercial failure, but Mastodon is not commercial, not does it have an obligation to grow. So it seems to be working very well for the people who do use it.

What does “fail” mean? Twitter’s algorithm is for entertainment. Mastodon is designed for discussion. Both can exist just fine, but you can’t have a platform that does both well.

Not a mod but from what you’ve said it sounds like your post was satirical, which violates the “on topic” rule.

For what it’s worth, THIS thread violates that rule too.

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for altering what was previously not a restricted feature. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

I agree OP has a right to be upset, but this post has nothing to do with privacy.

There’s no need to get upset. If you truly are having difficulty understanding my feelings on the topic and are asking in good faith, I’ll explain it one more time:

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for it’s services. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

Whatever mine or your feelings on the topic, it has nothing to do with privacy.

It’s empty venting, and the topic is not about privacy in a meaningful capacity, it’s about a business model.

Allowing venting/drama/gossip threads in a community over time will push out the people (like myself) who care about the actual community topic. And when those people are gone what’s left is a cesspit.
