I don't think it's exactly that. With normal administrations you can usually believe then when they say they're in talks and close to reaching an agreement. Here it should be very clear by this point to even the most gullible that Trump is just lying about it constantly. Someone suggested it's algorithmic trading looking at news articles that still tend to present Trump's every proclamation as serious at play
I'd suggest NeoDB too. It is great for keeping track of not just movies but also books, video games, music and books. https://eggplant.place/ is one of the main instances.
For getting recommendations and looking at ratings I do also like Movielens.
Most people weren't even on the internet yet in the mid-90s so I'm curious about what kind of enshittification of IMDB did you see in the late 90s? That's the time I remember it being good still but I don't really recall when the horrible redesigns started occurring.
I doubt the first poster who mentioned was talking about that. It's a pretty common misconception about the Budapest memorandum.
they're not really breaking Budapest memorandum (not that they wouldn't break any treaty in a heartbeat) because it did not say the other signatories would have to defend Ukraine from anyone else. It's still a bad precedent for nuclear disarmament of course but then again the Trump administration has done every fucking thing they can to make literally every country in the world want nuclear weapons now because they've completely broken the old order where countries had at least some faith in USA mostly upholding and abiding by international law and supporting their supposed allies.
Been broken all day
My understanding is that search on the microblogging side of the fedi is intended to be “broken” (from the view of someone expecting a Twitter-style search); hashtags are for opting-in to global discoverability whilst without them your posts are intended to be stumbled upon and/or passed around rather than sought out.
Well it's a bit more complicated. A really significant reason search isn't that comprehensive even on a big instance like mastodon.social is that Mastodon prioritizes privacy and has made it optional to be included in the search results with mastodon.social also opting to make it disabled by default when they added it.
A second problem is that if you're on a smaller instance you may not be seeing enough posts because they don't propagate there. This also affects hashtags. There's projects like Holos Discover fediverse search engine and Fediscovery that are addressing this problem but they won't change the fact that many users simply have indexing their posts for full text search disabled.
You're right that the issue isn't just trusting a third party in general, that's how it is for most users on Lemmy or Mastodon too.
The difference isn’t whether you personally run a server. It’s whether the network depends on a single company.
Bluesky operating basically all of the infrastructure on that network means:
- they decide moderation policy and what content gets boosted or hidden for everyone
- they alone can change the rules for access and in general (ads, pay to be seen etc.)
- they can de-prioritize or cut off third-party infrastructure
- if the company fails, pivots or is pressured legally (I'm sure the current US government could never do such a thing), the network can effectively collapse
Here on Lemmy there is no single company that has all that power. If your admin goes bad there are real options to move to and the network will still exist even if they shut their service down. You also have much more leverage over here because you have those options and no operator is drawing in tens or hundreds of millions from investors who get to make the decisions.
This would be a dream feature for me as even many flat games become so much more visually impressive and immersive experiences when you are able to look at them in real 3D. Currently you can get a decent number of games displayed this way if you have a stereoscopy-capable device but it's just a royal PITA that involves lots of fiddling with config so having that be easy on very comfortable hardware like the Frame would be game-changing as far as I am concerned.
yeah the DM system is something completely exclusive to their official servers and that they just rolled up without caring at all about trying to keep up the pretense of wanting to build something decentralized.
Same as with IE in the past. A little better with most of the source being open but not much. I wonder how we could solve this issue since people obviously don't care.
ainahan se Naton uskottavuus on riippunut täysin siitä onko uskottavaa, että muut mukaanlukien Yhdysvallat on valmiita tulemaan kovan paikan tullen apuun. Se ei vaan ole koskaan aiemmin ole ollut näin epävarmalla pohjalla.
