⚠️ I follow and comment on NSFW stuff. There’s no way to mark a profile as NSFW, yet, so I thought I should let you know.

35m UK. Fanboy, gaymer, Digg (and Reddit?) refugee, ADHDer, occasional writer/designer/editor, lefty (handedness), and lefty (political).

I’m amazed it’s taken so long… I think I’m on my third Android phone since they first announced it and I said “fuck no”.

Does it turn on? If it can record videos, it’s a 3GS.

Yeah, I’m afraid that was a scam, not Samsung.

Samsung’s policy updates will in open a full-screen, white view in the same style as the rest of their OS (similar to the visual appearance of the Galaxy Store settings), just so you can keep that in mind for next time. ✌️

We didn’t even need him for The Apprentice! I remember reading one of Burnett’s biggest regrets is not being around to put his spin/style on our version of the show. As if it would’ve been nearly as successful. 😬

‘I agree with Nick’ is back! Begrudgingly.

The thing that annoys me in subs of foreign-language things, is where a very simple or recognisable sentence gets turned into something else. Not in a “localisation” way, where extra context is needed. Just in a weird way.

Audio: Arigatou, @meejle@lemmy.world-san.
Subtitle: Thanks, @meejle@lemmy.world, I really appreciate it.

Audio: Ja.
Subtitle: OK, I’ll see you there!

This seems a lot more common in “official” subs of anime, nordic noir, etc. Fan-subs seem a lot more accurate.

Is it because all the AI editing tools mean your “photos” don’t necessarily correlate with your “memories” any more? 😅

For the first time, I’m kinda glad the UK uses First Past the Post. Especially with ministers resisting calls to block oversized donations from Musk: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/dec/21/ministers-resist-calls-to-block-musk-donations-to-farages-reform-uk 🤦‍♂️

Presumably it’d be easier for Musk’s favoured parties to gain (a meaningful amount of) influence in countries with proper PR?

Maybe it’s ads. Maybe it’s subscription fees.

It’s subscription fees. They’ve already announced it. It’s literally on their blog, and they’ve talked about it in their Twitch (they didn’t do a VoD so here’s a link to a YouTube video) and Reddit Q&As.

“In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier.”

Maybe they just end up selling all your data off to their 1,000+ data broker partners.

I don’t really see how they could, seeing as pretty much everything (including Likes) is already public.

Honestly, props to Queer Child. I wouldn’t fucking bother. 🤷‍♂️
