I don’t really understand the appeal of reddit as an investment vehicle anyway. Social media is notoriously unprofitable. Reddit only recently managed to get there after how many years??

lori@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish1·4 months agoThe only major pain point I had with Jellyfin was getting it on my Samsung TV yes. It is absolutely not a good recommendation for people with Samsungs unless they’re willing to get their hands very dirty. Now, once I got the app side loaded on there, it works perfectly well, but the process sucked ass.

If they’re doing this to a nice white Canadian woman instead of brown people they can easily disappear without being noticed, that means they’re getting a lot braver.

If it is it isn’t very funny either

lori@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Testimony reveals doors would not open on Cybertruck that caught fire in Piedmont, killing threeEnglish2·5 months agoIf the Cybertruck gets water into the door (y’know, like from rain) it’s pretty common for the doors to also just open themselves whenever the fuck.
It’s amazing what’s common with these trucks, I recommend everyone read the Cybertruck Owners Forum.

lori@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Testimony reveals doors would not open on Cybertruck that caught fire in Piedmont, killing threeEnglish12·5 months agoThe Cybertruck fans have basically just decided that because one of them was a drunk driver they don’t need to think about the rest of it and it’s fine that they died.
lori@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk’s Biographer Warns Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’ Due To ‘Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress’English2·5 months agoMusk was once so distraught and erratic, having a full on breakdown, locking himself in his Twitter office. To the point where Twitter employees almost called for a wellness check on him.
This happened because he got booed at that Chappelle show he had a surprise appearance at.
This man will not survive being one of the most hated men on earth, especially if he also stops being the richest man on earth with how much of his net worth is tied to Tesla stocks.

So if people are running tons of bot farms with right wing bullshit, it’s going to get trained on more and more of that.
LLMs were always doomed to train themselves on the slop and that’s sort of why they’re unsalvageable.
lori@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.zip•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish5·6 months agoSomeone should be tried at the Hague for this idea
He has gotten at least three grants in the past that I saw on the NLNet website for Pixelfed, but none were listed as active when I looked. However, since you have to complete your project to get paid out I didn’t see a way to know if he actually received any or all of those grants. The current active grant is just for Loops. I believe the old Pixelfed grants also required certain licensing and the project being open source though.
Also, as of this morning, he was posting about how in order to make Loops open source and federated he needs to hit $200k on his Kickstarter. However, he was previously challenging people who were claiming it’s not currently federated or open sourced. So now the story is that it’s not yet and he needs more money to make that happen when previously he was claiming it already was both of those things.
It’s…a mess for sure.
lori@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Musk’s DOGE minions refuse to reveal their names when grilling civil servantsEnglish2·6 months agoI really don’t see any reason for them to believe they’ll have jobs in even a week anyway by behaving.
lori@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Musk’s DOGE minions refuse to reveal their names when grilling civil servantsEnglish5·6 months agoI was posting this elsewhere recently but people massively underestimate how the US’s size factors into this. You can drive 10 hours from some parts of Texas and still be in Texas. The amount of money it would take to assemble all of us willing to protest in locations that would actually matter is incredible, and protesting in small town Kentucky won’t do much for you. We flat out cannot get the whole country together. I’m like 9 hours away from the capitol and I am closer than 80% of the country to the capitol.
Well, it’s kind of up to him. His NLNet grants require it to be open source and dictate what license he uses, but I don’t know the details to know if that just means it has to be open sourced in order to receive the grant (awarded upon completion not ahead of time) or right away.
A few days ago he posted (then I think deleted) this, which among other things makes me extremely inclined to not believe anything he says:
In March 2019 I teased the Pixelfed mobile app. The only problem was, I didn’t know how to write one. So just like the original “federated instagram” post, I faked a commercial to build hype. It was coming along well. Then in mid 2020, I came out and put the app aside. It wasn’t until late 2022 that I found a Pixelfed react native app, and cloned it and tinkered. In 2023 I released the first Pixelfed app, but it was slow. I rewrote it from scratch in May 2024. From faking, to making!

Meanwhile a guy who does nothing but try to convince retail store employees to tell him about their retail uniforms so he can jerk off to it manages to make new accounts every day for years. Why can’t you fix THAT, Reddit?
