From latest GameLinked episode (Linus Tech Tips gaming news channel)
You know how people will repost screenshots of tweets or whatever? The other day I saw a screenshot of a Mastodon post on Instagram.
Year of the lemmy desktop
You have done well, Lemmy. Keep going, and become greater than the corporate-overlord media.
I see this as a small victory for the Fediverse.
There’s definitely an LTT writer that’s active here.
During the last TalkLinked Jacob said he was on Lemmy :)
EDIT: timestamped link: https://youtu.be/bGr3dTK9oAU?si=hJerQLcEG02Mq6U5&t=1135gestures passionately “Download Lemmy!”
I’m feeling warm and fuzzy for some reason.
I am 35, you’re classified
The Lemmy energy is strong here.
The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.
It’s also missing IMO some mass to discuss more specific topics. For example, there’s enough people to discuss “anime” or “games”, but too few to discuss a specific anime series, or a specific game.
That’ll get better in time too, I believe.
Yeah, true. I still jump to Reddit to view tv show discussions, just won’t log in or comment anymore.
I already don’t own an xbox and am happy about it. Checkmate, MS.
@[email protected] dude you’re famous now
Also: this is the way.
put me in the screenshot!
and me!
I wish reddit a very merry “Going the way of Myspace and Ebaumsworld”
Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful
Well, they are definitely something that is awful.
Well done, that’s so awesome to see.
true
Ew, LTT. I feel dirty.
did LTT ever actually fix that issue where they stole somebody’s prototype after trashing it in a review where they tested it on the wrong thing? I had a weird vibe about Linus before that, and just wrote him off after
I think they addressed it, but idk much about it.
Soon BuzzFeed will be stealing content from Lemmy
You won’t believe our top five Star Trek and Linux memes of the week!
Blocked all meme subs… this place has enough content without filler now imho
Blocked all meme subs
I guess that works… I just never subscribed to them in the first place. Either way, I’m super happy to see more activity on the platform.
Why does it have to be LMG of all places to use lemmy. Linus is not the cool tech guy anymore, he’s just another corpa boss who prefers profits over people and accuracy.
LMG has a long history of overworking its workers, plus reports of sexual harassment and bullying…
He belongs with spez and all other profit shitheads the fediverse is supposed to be free of.
My favorite linus quote (when asked why he didn’t properly test a product for a video):
I don’t know if I can apologize for not spending another $500 of various people’s time.
Didn’t he step down as boss after the latest kerfuffle because he just doesn’t make for a good boss.
I’m worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.
It’s like we need a DOI system for lemmy posts.
When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website.
That’s unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It’s all links and links to each other. Check out https://archive.is and https://archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something
I’m convinced someone on LTT’s team is on Lemmy. Two weeks ago one of their quickbits had a title “u/spez endorses lemmy”.
You left your SI in the link
What is an si (I presume session id)?
And where do look, if there is a standard for these thingies?
Thanks in advance.
It’s an individual tracking code that tells Google who generated the youtube link you click on. That way, they can see who you’re talking with on other websites.
I went, “Ooh! That’s some ingenuity!” and <facepalm>, both at the same time.
Wasting the ingenuity for this stuff.
Beehaw isn’t even Lemmy under the hood iirc but that’s nitpicking
What is it?
Three rats in a trenchcoat
Piefed I think, I don’t even know what it is, I can’t find a ios client for it. it doesn’t even appear in any instance choice dropdowns or such. It’s a marvel it works at all. Probably glued together with cardboard and bee shit like my uni projects
Nah I’m pretty sure it’s still lemmy. This page seems to say they are looking at moving to something else, but they’re still using lemmy for now https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/
