I mean I know it's easy to be critical but this was my exact thought, how the hell didn't they catch this in testing?

It's a shame the people that need this the most can't read

The media is explicitly complicit in the rise of authoritarianism. I'd highly recommend the book "manufacturing consent", it should be required reading for all Americans at this point.

Can someone explain how this is even possible with a service like Signal? I was under the impression that encrypted messages can't be intercepted.

Extremely frustrating either way, I hate constantly having to manage different messaging services with different people and I'd really like to not have to add one more if signal becomes compromised.

Don't let this fool you, not from him and not from anyone representing a corporation. Corporations time and time again will say and do whatever it takes to profit, including pretending to care about human rights.

I genuinely can't think of a better example of a modern day sophist than Jordan Peterson.

jfc. And here I was thinking that that audio clip of Ken Martin literally fucking crying at David Hogg would amount to anything. These people have the utmost contempt for their constituents, it is absolutely ridiculous. They would LITERALLY rather America succumb to a fascist takeover than begin to call out their own, or oppose their corporate donors. The average democratic voter has more balls and patriotism than these people. Words cannot describe how insanely livid this makes me, neolibs can suck my fucking balls.

Maybe "the 2038 problem" will be the new Y2K?!

I'm very much in the same boat, also joined around 2011. I didn't leave because of the API changes, I left because the website was degrading substantially as a byproduct of its userbase.

Lemmy contains so much of what made reddit special in the early days. It was primarily tech-proficient people who cultivated a strong community, held each other accountable, and valued science and evidence.

As more users came to reddit, the initial community diluted. Certain subreddits were still special and worth checking out, but the greater whole was too massive for its own good. Plus, I suspect a huge number of new users were teenagers and children, and their comments and maturity reflected that.

I knew it was basically over once I saw comments on subreddits that regularly made the front page with extremely obvious bigotry and racism. Incescent bashing of women. Comments that reflected the vile nature of the shit comments you'd see on Instagram. This was becoming all too common and was not being moderated. The remaining comments felt like washed out circle jerking or a complete lack of critical thinking.

The IPO was the nail in the coffin. No good could possibly come from that for the users of the site. Haven't been there for over a year and have zero regrets.

If you use a VPN you will likely hit the limit, already happened to me

• there is no way to search a channel’s videos on the mobile app

It is baffling to me that they just... never implemented this? Like why???

I'll add that everything about playlists is really dumb, which is a shame because they could be good. Why not treat playlists the way streaming services treat tv shows? Remember which episode I was on, and make it easy to find on the homepage with a "continue watching" option.

Also, the "watch later" playlist is a good idea but why don't the videos automatically remove themselves after I've watched them? Why doesn't the watch later playlist appear at the top of the suggested videos or something? Instead it's hidden in a jumbled mess of playlists that I have to manually find. OH AND ALSO WHY ARE MY CUSTOM PLAYLISTS INTERMIXED WITH OTHER PLAYLISTS I'VE SAVED.

And the progress bar gradient is so ugly jfc. It's one of those things that screams bored middle management decision making. And from a branding perspective, when has YouTube ever been off-pink? I know it's minor but genuinely how did that slip through the cracks.

The thing is, modders are Bethesda's most die-hard fans, and Bethesda games have some of the largest modding communities in the world. Many of these modding projects have taken an extraordinary amount of effort from an extraordinary amount of people. For them to not communicate and work with the community at all is a big slap in the face because modders have given people a reason to continue purchasing their games and keeping their business relevant.

Is Bethesda obligated to work with modders to try and help with backwards compatibility? Not legally, no. But their lack of effort is rightfully leaving a sour taste in many people's mouths.

To your last point, I'm sure you didn't mean it intentionally but that is a straw man argument; nobody is claiming that every single mod needs to be compatible with Bethesda's updates. However, if Bethesda at the very least communicated and worked with the community even a little bit, they could make the task of updating mods substantially easier. Instead, they chose not to, and now countless of hours of work will be wasted because so many people will not find it worthwhile to update their mods to be compatible with the new version. It's extremely unfortunate.

• Mamdani: doesn't say something
• media: "do you condemn this thing you've never said?"
• Mamdani: "that's not language that I use. I believe in universal human rights, including for Israelis and Palistinians. I've heard firsthand from jewish people their experiences and fears regarding antisemitism. This is why I've committed to increasing funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800%. Unlike Trump, I will not police speech. I will speak with my actions by protecting jewish New Yorkers."
• Media here and everywhere else: "YA HEARD IT HERE FOLKS MAMDANI IS ANTISEMITIC" 🙄 give me a break, who the hell listens to this garbage

How sure are you about that? Microsoft very dependably releases updates on the second Tuesday of the month, and their release notes show if updates are pushed out of schedule. Their last update was on schedule, July 9th.

Who didn't see this coming from a thousand miles away when they announced they were going public? Here comes the endless churn of trying to keep shareholders artificially interested

8 should be way higher. You can be sexist and not like Trump, and not vote because of it. I'd also add high on that list: rampant and nonstop right wing propoganda in all media formats (news, podcasts, YouTube channels, etc.) with no equivalent left leaning alternative. It should come as no surprise that young men are leaning right when casual mysogony and racism flood the content they watch, even when the content itself isn't strictly political.

Right? I cannot believe how consistently toxic ig comments are, even on the most unsuspecting videos. I'm surprised this isn't talked about more often. The constant sexism is just jading. Negative comments skyrocket to the top of the comment section because they get the most replies, and there is no down voting functionality. But I think it's gotten slightly better recently? I wonder if the limiting of political content has anything to do with it. Maybe ig is actually trying to improve their platform.
