Look at his post history, he seems to have a weird mistrust of magnets and believes they could just all turn off one day

The “too good to be true” sell and complete lack of detail / pricing on their website is sketchy imo. I’m immediately suspicious of any org that profits off of piracy in such an opaque way
I think some folks were more interested in rushing in to be king of the hill rather than actually building communities
I’m glad this community is following in the tradition of the reddit one, ugly graphics that communicate nothing useful yet somehow get upvoted to the top
I like the concept but I think the final product looks a little skeletal for a $400+ collector’s set, the shape makes it hard to tell what it is without looking more closely, unlike the other diagon alley sets which are instantly recognizable when on display
Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat
I feel like there’s a difference between “lego compatible alternatives” and Lepin-like companies that just take advantage of countries that don’t enforce IP laws to explicitly sell stolen designs
I’ve never used one myself but I’ve heard talk of various ones either A) taking the public (real) like number and extrapolating the dislikes based on an old like/dislike ratio available for the video from before the dislike removal (doesn’t work on new videos) or B) the extension includes a feature where the user can like/dislike the video within the extension and then the dislike number is extrapolated using the public (real) like number and the extension’s private like/dislike ratio. In either case the number is not connected to the “real” dislike count that YouTube would have access to internally
Pretty sure those extensions all use some sort of estimate methodology, the dislikes aren’t available via any apis or anything
To cut out the BS legal double speak, it’s so you can have a steam-like interface that’s designed to be natively compatible with pirated games and allow friends to access them from your server
It isn’t AI, it’s the economy. Companies that got money from investors regardless of their profitability now have to survive on their own profits which forces them to restructure
If you plan on using the local or all filters the people you share a server with will determine what new communities populate there and likely have a big impact on what you’ll come across
Ya I’m confused why people think this is a good thing, the use cases where someone would edit a title in good faith seem very limited to people trying to take advantage of the feature
What are the privacy advantages of self hosting lemmy? as in what kind of data are we otherwise sharing when we use someone else’s instance?
Yes there’s something particularly sketchy about an app that makes those kind of anti-user corporate decisions when it owes its popularity to the piracy community
Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?
I respect the enterprise-level IT operation you run for your family lol
That was a video rabbit hole I wasn’t expecting to traverse today
This doesn’t make much sense because different companies / services will have vastly different development costs associated with Linux compatibility and there wouldn’t be just one global threshold for profitability for everyone
