Technically they only benefit from money after the price was set, which was recently

Malware is a decent reason. You may get the game, but you’ll likely get more along with it.

Now movies on the other hand…

I will say, it’s practical for everyone using the same system. Sometimes it’s nice to acknowledge an email without having to respond to it

And when I had my school account, they’d send out phishing alerts of what to look out for. Those emails would be spammed with crying laughing emojis

😂

I just had déjà vu

Are you sure there wasn’t a video at the top or bottom of the web page? What you were listening to is kind if irrelevant, since if some other media starts playing it’ll pause whatever media was playing before.

Nobody is going to rebuild the east wing. Americans don’t want it torn down, but I’m sure most of us also don’t want our money spent rebuilding it

In America, they are legally required to disclose paid reviews. If the company pays for the review they legally must disclose it

If you receive free products or other perks with the expectation that you’ll promote or discuss the advertiser’s products in your blog, the FTC Act applies to you.

Some of us are normal…

Well, normal for lemmy standards

Just dont send me a giant giraffe. I’d take some gin though, or I could even use some ginger. Im sure you get the gist

SCUBA - self-contained oonderwater breathing apparatus

Laser - light ay-mplification by ztimulated emission (good luck pronouncing the e) of radiation

ASAP - Ay-s Soon As Possible

Honestly, there isn’t hardly anything you couldn’t learn on your own. But what higher education provides is structure. It can be very difficult to actually follow through with the education if you do not have scheduled classes, exams you have to study for, deadlines for projects/exams, etc

Problematic undercurrents of homophobia aside, the trend paints a troubling picture of a future filled with photorealistic and eerily believable AI slop.

What a fucking incredible line

How should Lemmy handle it if they quote a portion or even the entire message in a child comment? If someone’s goal is to not have to worry about shit someone says, and then they are still shown what that person says, does that not defeat the purpose of blocking?

>:(

They would be annoyed at this comment if they could see it ^/s

why should online be any different?

I know I am taking the wrong message from this, but online is different in basically every way. You cannot block someone in real life. You can try to avoid them, but they can still talk to you. You can put in ear buds, but that doesn’t make them not there.

Really, the solution is to spend less time on technology and more time communicating IRL. Even if it is uncomfy

Have you heard of the experiment with swimming rats and how much longer they swam when given hope? We need hope to survive.

Though they don’t say we will solve it, but that we can solve it if we start now.

There’s a long response (10 part comments) from Michael on a reddit comment here

I do think the person writing the article was pretty extreme and was selective on information shared, but hopefully it’ll at least make Michael stop obssessing over Codesmith. Let people have their own conversations.

Yes. They just dont even cover most people
