I do as someone that uses both the Lemmy web interface (as well as photon interface) and Sync App. I actually get confused because there are instances where score is only color coded without an up/down indicator. So color coding consistency is nice across app and web.
It’s December. Give him a little bit of slack for the holiday month. A lot of people try to take a week or two off. He pushed an update right after Thanksgiving.
Personally, I recommend avoiding pushing releases during holidays if you know post launch support releases might be low, but it would probably lead to criticism of him not updating enough.

The Atlantic is a pretty reputable source. And I think there’s a difference between subscribing to news for news reporting like the New York Times, The Guardian, etc, vs subscribing to magazine like the Atlantic, New Yorker, or New Republic that will give you more political commentary and analysis. Both have a role to play and both need subscribers. I subscribe to the Atlantic on and off (I’ve kind of rotated between the atlantic, new republic, and the nation over time). Primary subscriptions for my household are the New York Times and New Yorker. Then I have my annual membership/donations for NPR and PBS. Gotta support the news and good political commentary. It’s holiday season soon. Subscriptions make good holiday gifts.
That’s because there was a time when everyone had print subscriptions that were healthy, and the internet just gave them extra money for ads. When you start losing subscribers because everyone is looking at your shit online for free, you learn you need to charge for it.
I’ve always been curious. Do any parties just remove the string between “+” and “@” when they see those emails registered?
A once a month pop up for a new album release is milking you? I don’t see this as any different than the inserts from CDs and Vinyl that listed other items available to purchase. You just take them out and throw them away.
That’s annoying. But I think there’s a misconception of “if you pay for something it must be ad free.” There’s goals to get to X revenue. It’s totally reasonable to have that way to get to X to be a blend of subscription fees and some forms of promotional content. Also, I am curious if the record labels have any agreements in place that require Spotify to do occasional promotions to both premium and non premium users in order for the service to have access to their music. I’d be curious to see what the “why am I seeing this?” link says.
I just hate how these types of comments seem to be so prevalent on lemmy. This is a thread about some crazy mass shoplifting with bear spray cans and 30 to 50 people involved. Not every convo needs to be a what about ism about communism being good, capitalism bad.
I take more of a Habermasian approach. It’s not means of production and capitalism run amok. It’s more of a colonization of life world by instrumental rationality. I think there are aspects of capitalism that make sense, but the problem is capitalism should not be instrumentalizing governments to further increase capital.
But the other point is, I can’t be an ostrich putting my head in the sand (or maybe this case the clouds). I live in a capitalist world and will likely die in some form of one. So I do practically need to engage in it and get advice on how to navigate it to survive, enjoy life, etc. And right now, it’s hard to find those kinds of people that can discuss navigation of living under the reality of capitalism and day to day shit with the leanings of the Lemmy base today.
Regardless of POV, there’s pretty much no way not to engage in capitalism and support capitalism in some direct or indirect way. It’s everywhere. Even in FOSS.
Hehe. I hope the fediverse gets a bit more popular so the larger community isn’t so hardcore FOSS and FOSS only, so pro piracy, and a little too anti capitalist to the extent Scandinavian democratic socialism points of view get characterized as the pinnacle of capitalist evil.
Is that the irony of consent. The ad vendor needs to track the opt in/out for a user to understand that users consent.
Do you want to own a version of an app that never has updates?
Glad to see the lemmy community welcoming new users and their choice of app to engage with the fediverse.
I imagine it’d be annoying to have a ui to store this, ordeal with deleting accounts referenced… But maybe there should be a theme option in each profile to apply a customized global default or use another designated accounts custom theme? Or maybe I’m overthinking it and should just be a “copy from acct xyz” and apply to this new account and not worry about references to global defaults or other acct configs…
Not talking about votes on specific comments. Talking about profile aggregation. I’ve done vinyl trades, clothing swaps, hired people to 3d print things, etc. For those kinds of interactions you aren’t looking at the quality of one specific post, but want to validate that it’s not a temporary account for a scam and that the user generally cares about the reputation of their name on the platform.
When it comes to gauging advice, or doing something like buying or trading used goods it was helpful as a proxy for trustworthiness. Older accounts with good karma are a lot less sketchy than brand new accounts.
Text intensive games are hard to read at times on the deck. Magnifier helps, but not ideal. Games like Against the Storm or some digital board games would benefit from higher resolution.
