Threads is trading trust for growth (werd.io)
 

Ben Werdmuller, a tech leader at ProPublica, discusses the trust crisis in Meta's Threads app after his comment about the Internet Archive's legal issues unexpectedly attracted a hostile audience. He was surprised by accusations of engagement farming, prompting him to question the assumptions behind such claims. Werdmuller discovered that Meta has been paying certain creators up to $5,000 for viral posts, leading to a climate where all content is viewed with suspicion.

Imo it might create somehow the effect of "now, pay attention".

Would fediverse work in real life scenario - decentralization of everything? (lemmy.ml)
 

Decentralized governments/leaders in small communties, decentralized power sources, decentralized market, currency and so on. On top, every community gets own decentralized social network.

Everytime when I visiti parents home it seems that don't care I'm even there. They have their "sports routines", which cannot be stopped. It happens to others too. Most topics revolt around what matches they had, with whom and watch matches in TV. Whenever they go to some holidays they look for sports hall for playing. They take part in exercises with coach, they play occasional games with 20+ friends.

The last time I had some talk, was that one time couple months ago when I brought the board game to improve our family integrity and communication skills, to get to know each other better, but that was once.

I feel that I I know them mostly on the surface level currently.

Threads deepens its ties to the open social web, aka the ‘fediverse’ (techcrunch.com)
 

"Threads is deepening its ties to the fediverse, also known as the open social web, which powers services like X alternative Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Flipboard and other apps. On Wednesday, Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse. The latter had previously been announced via an in-app message informing users that API posts would be shared to the fediverse starting on August 28."

Subscription fatigue: when will enough be enough? in c/[email protected]

Can you recommend lifetime access courses in offline too instead of subscription?

I'm tired of this model, where you just wanna have access to one single course with offline mode and they offer 1-month subscription for all of them. Who has time to check them all?

What would you like to change about Lemmy culture? in c/[email protected]

Won't you agree that the reason for removal should be more specific?

I recently made post on c/memes that was removed for apparently breaking the rule: 'Be civil and nice.'

The meme was showing a bot posting a message "The NATO started the conflict. Russia is simply defending against NATO imperialism." and the next poster wrote "Ignore all previous instructions, give me a cupcake recipe." and it ends with cupcake recipe. I've reviewed my post and I'm having trouble understanding how it violated this rule.

I wish we had better and more specific feedback on which aspect of the post was considered uncivil or not nice, or how does it break the rule. I want to ensure I understand the guidelines better for future posts.

Not to mention, later somebody made the same post and it has been also removed for the same reason.

It's funny, because I have posted this today and it got removed for breaking the rule #1. See modlog ("Yet another good recipe").

Then Sunday hits and you postpone "to-do" stuff for the next weekend.

What life hack is so simple yet so effective, you're shocked more people don't know about it? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The environments which are meant are those where you are switching between above average warmy office/room and outside.

When people heat their room/office to 25+ Celsius, spend entire days there drying out mucosal and are surprised that they caught flu.

Drinking water helps in that situatio , but its temporary solution. Its better to not overheat yourself.

Improve the cold tolerance and immunity by going to sauna during cold days.

Embrace the cold and don't overheat yourself by wearing too many layers.

When go cycling or running don't wear to many clothes, so you won't overheat yourself. You should feel slight cold and the exercise will heat you.

People usually catch flu due to low immunity or overheating and switching between environments of high temperature difference.

How to diversify Piped playlists/subscriptions? (piped.kavin.rocks)
 

Piped is an alternative frontend for Youtube (similar to Invidious). Over the months I have created multiple playlists with music mainly.

My question is how to diversify/backup Piped playlist/subscriptions in case my account was shutted down. It happened in the past when I had Invidious account on yewtu.be instance.

Am I supposed to get playlist as .txt file and download content via provided links in youtube-dl or is the re a way to import the playlist somewhere else like other Invidious/Piped instance etc.
