Reddit risks losing its identity in pursuit of profits
They've already lost their identity. The parties over, spez has turned it into corporate garbage no better than Instagram

Plex lays off 20% of its workforce

It's been going on for nearly a year now, but the layoffs tend to happen in waves because the stock market and investors in general tend to be very reactionary. Also a lot of companies released their quarterly earnings recently

its gotta be. They've already had their own reddit replacement for years, no reason to come here other than to start a flame ware

Reddit beats film industry, won’t have to identify users who admitted torrenting
Reply in thread
Spez may still be a corporate sellout but at least in this instance he did the right thing, probably because he determined ratting out users who pirated wouldn't make him money

Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts

Dear God, i hope that's not true. Quora answer quality is probably worse than Yahoo answers; at least those were just shit posts, 90% of Quora answers are ads by the creator of some project in my experience

Lol, wonder what bs excuse the admins will give this time when they take over moderation. Can't use "well the mods abandoned it" if its actively moderated but allowing porn 😂

YSK: Commas can be used in phone numbers to automatically input automated menu options
I had a job a few years ago where my account kept getting locked out (their IT security department was kinda paranoid and basically everything could get you locked out). I used this to crest a shortcut on my phone to call their automated help desk line and enter in my employee id / dob/ whatever else they needed to unlock my account, at one point it was happening several times a day. Left that job shortly after thankfully

Just my two cents
I feel like a lot of people coming over here from reddit (granted I'm one of them) don't really understand what federation is. The admin (the peeps actually hosting and running the instance) can do whatever they want. And unlike reddit, if you disagree with them you can just move to another instance. As I understand it (and they posted a large thread explaining all this) Beehaw wants to keep their community small and regulated, and with the massive growth of other instances like ours coming in they felt overwhelmed. It's totally understandable and we shouldn't be dicks about it

Very misleading title
The new analysis estimates a timescale for the collapse of between 2025 and 2095, with a central estimate of 2050
To be clear, this is still really bad, but it's typical media reporting where scientists say sometime in the next 70 years and the media changes it to "next year"

Why are the icons in the Android share menu ordered randomly?
The Share menu on Android has always been terrible. Believe it or not it used to be way worse, i remember when it was freeze your phone for 5+ seconds while loading every single time

The outlandish videos they do are pretty entertaining, I don't see how they're going to succeed as a data driven review channel given Linus' temperament. Like compare them to something like rtings and it's really night and day

Lemmy.ml has now blocked threads.net / Meta
Reply in thread
Lemmy.ml is hosted by the developers of Lemmy; their political views are kinda irrelevant here, I don't think there's a single political party that wants MORE of Metas influence in anything

Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap.
I've ditched both and have gone mostly back to physical media. Even standard 1080p Blu-ray from 2007 look better than any streaming app as the bitrate is significantly higher, and you can find used Blu Ray for super cheap right now. New releases are a little expensive but there are still rental options

For reasons no one can fathom, McDonald’s has released a new Game Boy Color game
I don't know what prompted McDonald's marketing to bring back grimace but they're kinda nailing it; I want a grimace milkshake

OP said LA so while these numbers are a little high they're not out of the ordinary for a high CoL American city. I live near NYC and prices at fairly mainstream not particularly upscale restaurants and Manhattan are similar to this. As long as you're living within your means there's no reason to avoid doing things you enjoy

How do you link to a reddit page without actually sending people to Reddit?
You can use something like http://archive.today/ to create a cached archive of the post and share that

Why lemmy instead kbin?
Lemmy has been around much longer right? Personally I'm using both, though kbin only very recently. That's the coolest thing about the fediverse to me; not only can lemmy instances federate and kbin instances federate, but a kbin instance can federate with a lemmy instance
