  • I've been using it since I started 10 years ago, and it's always been enough

  • yt-dlp was created in October 2020, Soulseek in April 2001, torrents in Juli 2001. Your "ol' reliable" was created 5 years ago, 19 years younger than its competition. Youtube itself was founded in 2005.

    I'm not sure you know what "ol' reliable" means ;)

  • Do kids of rich people feel loved, or are their rich parents toxic?

    Jump

  • Generally I agree, they're still just people like anyone else. However, they're in very special situations, and very rare/special experiences have very rare/special impact. It's very much not easy to be "normal" in these situations, which is why I said what I said.

  • Absolutely no difference. Unless you get to billionaire territory, because they are such a small sample that only happens with a very specific combination, there is no real difference between humans' mindsets. Someone with net worth $10 mill has the same chance to be loving as a homeless person with negative net worth as has the same chance as some middle class person.

  • Why didn't oil fired steam locomotives take off?

  • You are such a silly goose, I love it

  • Why do most people stay in centralized social media platforms when the Fediverse exists?

    Jump

  • As always, there's multiple reasons for things. You did a great job breaking down as much as possible :) the other comments are all right, but you are comprehensive :)

  • Everyday I have to block dozen of "x"-moe communities while scrolling the main feed. Is there an easier way to purge anime from main page?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure what you mean exactly... Just looked in my block list and I've blocked yiffit.net and like 6 or so anime communities, and I don't remember the last time I had anime in my all feed.

  • TIL about the region-beta paradox, the psychological phenomenon that people can sometimes recover more quickly from more distressing experiences than from less distressing ones

    Jump

  • Some living situations have time-consuming storage places of bikes, like I can imagine some apartment building with cellars for bikes or shit like that.

    But locking your bike at the target place? Takes seconds. Also, I'm relatively sure for most people, retrieving the bike also takes at most a minute.

    Now look at the graph. Shift the bike 1.5 minutes upwards, you still get almost exactly the same effect, the bike is still faster for a lot of the 1 mile of walking.

    So sure, it's important to take into account the switching costs, but this concept still holds true most of the time.

  • Why is my entire feed in this Lemmy server nothing but American politics and Reddit bashing

    Jump

  • As corollary to the other comments, lemmyverse.net to find non-political communities to subscribe to.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • You may be about to figure out that almost everything is controlled by the richest people on Earth, and that you are allowed to talk about that is bad for them.

  • Signal no longer cooperating with Ukraine on Russian cyberthreats, official says

    Jump

  • Hope you don't use (almost) any other messaging app either. If a single unsubstantiated article is enough to make you stop using something, you should be using almost nothing anywhere.

  • what am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • Try using an external image hoster like directupload.eu if you want bigger images :)

  • what am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • It depends on the server you use. Some even don't allow uploads at all.

  • It's quiet, too quiet

    Jump

  • Maybe they started playing the FlyingSquidGame

  • What is the point of the Nicole spam?

    Jump

  • Which is what I acknowledged with my last sentence. All I'm saying is that both methods could be worthwhile, and in a perfect world where everyone is educated, everyone ignoring the scammer would be better.

  • This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me off

    Jump

  • The DDOS of having your users scammed, spammed, them seeing illegal/harmful content, propaganda, whatever bots do.

    Trying to get rid of bots is a worthwhile endeavor. How exactly you do it, and I criticize captchas as well, is up to debate, yes. But dismissing it completely just means you haven't really noticed what those measures do. It's like an IT department that just works and that management thinks is unnecessary.

  • This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me off

    Jump

  • Because like I said, different measures hold back different bots.

    If there are 3 bot softwares, maybe 1 can solve captcha and use accounts, 1 can only make accounts, 1 can only use captcha.

    With only account login you get 2 bots, with only captcha you also get 2 bots, with captcha before login you only get 1 bot.

  • We need to decide on a genre name for Vampire Survivors-like games before a really terrible one sticks

  • MOBA - massive onslaught bullet arena

  • So I say tracking is the problem, and you say that tracking is the problem? Good that we agree :D

  • Bots are a problem. No single measure completely gets rid of them. Each measure just removes some of the bots. I personally think accounts are a decent measure, everyone should have a password manager anyway that lets them automatically log in on all their devices.

    The problem of course is the tracking that's being done with the accounts, but I think the accounts themselves aren't the problem.
