“uh all the cables are soft, i don’t see any hard lines”

Why do you need a 3d printer when carrots have been coming out of the ground for thousands of years.

they explain that in the article :)

The best term I’ve heard to describe this is “Hapsburg AI”

Are there plans to build some sort of instance-blocking feature?

It’s wild that companies essentially destroyed the practice of overclocking.

A feed with 40 videos, 25 of which I’ve already watched

This is such a problem for me. There needs to be a “remove from the feed because I’ve already watched it, but i’m still interested in this type of content” button.

Called it. I said this last week when everyone was still hysterical about blocking Meta:

Everyone is talking about defederating preemptively because of XMPP and EEE. But the very fact that we know about EEE means that it’s much less likely to succeed.

Zuck is seeing the metaverse crash and burn and he knows he needs to create the next hot new thing before even the boomers left on facebook get bored with it. Twitter crashing and burning is a perfect business opportunity, but he can’t just copy Twitter - it has to be “Twitter, but better”. So, doing what any exec does, he looks for buzzwords and trends to make his new product more exciting. Hence the fediverse.

From Meta’s standpoint, they don’t need the Fediverse. Meta operates at a vastly different scale. Mastodon took 7 years to reach ~10M users - Threads did that in a day or two. My guess is that Zuck is riding on the Fediverse buzzword. I’m sure whatever integration he builds in future will be limited.

TL;DR below:

Oh man I’m sure my millions of neopoints and painted lupe is gone by now

I stole it from another random lemmy user too (lemming? Lemur? Lemmyer?)

The best term I’ve heard to describe this this “Hapsburg AI”.

great, doubling down on the broken karma system.

First, “reaching out” is different from actually federating completely.

Second, i was referring to lemmy in particular. I know mastodon and lemmy are both part of the fediverse, but lemmy <> threads federation is a different conversation than mastodon <> threads.

this is why i find all the talk of “defederate threads” on lemmy a bit premature.

Meta isn’t even thinking about the fediverse at this point, they’re just using it as a buzzword. Their focus is on growth.

or use old.reddit.com?

Honestly, i thought I would miss reddit more, but I haven’t been back since I moved here and haven’t thought about it one bit. I expect I’ll still end up on reddit occasionally when I search for something, but I don’t see myself ever posting there again.

When they said they were having a cage fight, I was envisioning a physical boxing match in a ring, not two billionaires trying to out-lawyer each other…

I’m sure new categories will spring up to skirt the rules. Like rubbing the mic on their butt ASMR or similar.
