Curious, those criteria you listed out are not present anywhere I can see in the community rules.

Perhaps you should petition the mods to change them if you feel so strongly about it.

This is a technology community, and (whether you like it or not) Twitter being rebranded to X is pretty big news in the world of tech.

Especially with the slipshod way they are doing with it, there is bound to be a lot of articles covering different weird tangential effects from the rush job.

Most people have knee-jerk reactions to site redesigns, and then begrudgingly accept it sometime after.

The reddit redesign is different, in that most power users, mods, and long-time redditors are still using old.reddit 5+ years later.

Uncle Owen literally calls Obi-Wan a wizard — “That wizard’s a crazy old man” — so canonically that is how Jedi are seen by (at least some of) the population.

Thank you for your service.

It’s no surprise that the majority of password sharing came from poorer countries (and thus, countries where Netflix is priced cheaper).

I doubt this move is going to generate as much long-term revenue as Netflix estimates. There are way more streaming platforms nowadays, with different pricing models that might appeal more to the demographic that was never willing to pay for Netflix.

That, or piracy will become popular again (which is good for seeder ratios, which have dwindled over the last 10 years).

Harlan Ellison narrated the audiobook, and he hammed it up so much when delivering the AM lines (in a good way) that there was really no one else who could have voiced the role in the game by the time it was developed.

The best part about the game is that Ellison also wrote the script and dialogue for it.

It doesn’t work that way. If you open the Threads app, it’s not full of ghost profiles of your Instagram follows who were automatically migrated over without their knowledge.

You still need to create a profile and verify your handle. You can see which of your friends are currently on the app… but you can also see who has not migrated over yet.

So Threads has been regularly posting how many Threads profiles are being created — 1M, 10M, 50M, etc — more or less in real time. If you go on the app you can see the migration happening as more and more people (and brands 🙄) make the transition.

I believe the numbers. If they were counting the migrated people as “users” then it would be much higher, and it wouldn’t be so low compared to total FB/Insta profiles.

What is the benefit of that? What would happen if Threads users could integrate with Lemmy?

Wow, I didn’t know that. Thanks!

You’re right — PWAs can be feature rich and versatile. I’m glad they exist.

However, as much as I like wefwef (especially coming from Apollo), I don’t like having the URL bar perpetually taking up real estate like it does on iOS. I’m also much less likely to trigger browser-specific functions if I’m using a dedicated app.

Assuming the Lemmy platform remains open, I don’t have any issue supporting a developer for making a great app for it.

The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.
