I can remember getting shouted at from a moving car for wearing shorts circa 2006, it was a thing.

For another data point I can search any of those terms on the shortlist that was posted just fine, using Facebook on the website. Either searching for posts or videos. May be app specific or something that was very temporary? Located in US. No Instagram account.

FB was started with government money

Ah I remember getting Zips when I lived out in the PNW just after the millennium, good stuff.

I mean that works, better than nothing. I was thinking like a web ui where you enter search terms

Someone should make a searchable frontend for this

You know how they say "cool beans?" Mine is lukewarm.

I used to push "on accident" all the time in the 90s and 00s but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder, I will continue in my quest to make it the predominant form. Makes total sense, on purpose/on accident.

Saw this today on there, apparently "follow farming" is going to be a thing as long as this 3rd party app doing autofollows of people who follow other accounts exists. Generally I'm going to treat random followers as influence operation peddling bots until I start posting on my account.

Right now I'm finding accounts that I like to read and trying to build up a base of people to see if I can create a worthwhile feed. Still not a proof-of-concept use case for doing Bluesky long term but potentially will be interesting enough to stick around in a couple weeks. I can't imagine the awful user experience for people who are just rawdogging it though.

I'm guessing they meant cognitive dissonance? Never seen this abbreviation though and probably wont be using it myself

Similar to how Netanyahu's faction in Israel kept funding Hamas to justify their objectives on control of the state.

This ask reminds me of this Kids in the Hall sketch

I never used Twitter but wanted to check out the new thing replacing it over on the edge of the Fediverse. Created an account with no bio or profile pic and followed a few dozen personalities that I recognized on there. Half a day later I have 18 followers.

I looked at some of them and they were obvious bots, usernames were random alphanumeric strings, or they were promoting onlyfans, or they were trying to build followings by reblogging popular posts but not contributing anything original or curating in any human way. Others seem more believable and have realistic bios and post somewhat engaging chatter.

Not knowing what the general user experience is, should I consider most random follows to be bots or is it common practice for users to see who follows pages you like and follow other people on that list? The somewhat convincing profiles have me a little queasy thinking of all the AI bots driving us increasingly toward a Dead Internet.

Not sure how long I'll continue but happy to test it out and follow personalities I know from other platforms and enjoy their content, while blocking all of my followers that I don't immediately recognize. Is that standard Twitter/Bluesky good practice or am I not "trusting the process" enough and allowing full access to randos? Closest to Twitter I came was Tumblr circa 2010-2016 and in that time I saw the bots increase dramatically in a way that sabotaged community trust and got quite stalkerish.

Interested in your thoughts even if they aren't directly applicable to my experience.

I was going to go with wisehosting.com after Mumbo Jumbo promoted them with an ad in one of his videos but apparently they're in Estonia and my bank doesnt do business with that country.

I've never had a server in MC before, primarily playing solo but have been going on my friend's realm the past couple months and really enjoying it. My complaint mainly is that realms limits render distance to like 16 or so and I'd like to crank it up to 32 as long as client side lag isn't too bad, and I've been told servers don't have the same cap on render distance as realms. We do like to build largeish amateur xp farms and regular redstone contraptions but shouldn't need something huge that can run Minecraft-in-Minecraft or anything like that.

So yeah, nothing fancy, no mods. Maybe 10 total players most we've ever had online at once was 5. What options are popular and known, inexpensive and reasonably reliable? Figured I'd ask on here rather than troll through old redd*t threads looking for people promoting server hosting. Thanks!

 

Regardless of how you feel about AI, a lot of people have been posting videos about this so you might be interested in seeing it.

Worked on desktop on Chrome, some phones might run it but mine didn't.

 

I've read ten articles and tried a couple different searches but have only found a dozen or so songs listed anywhere online. Is the entire 250 song playlist recorded somewhere?

 

I found this aftershave I'd been looking for on Belgian Amazon (amazon.com.be) - they dont sell the same kind in the US anymore but it's apparently still available overseas. I was going to see about having some shipped to me in the US and couldn't figure out any way to do so. I know the US Amazon site has this AmazonGlobal program where people from dozens of countries can order from the US site and have it shipped to them but apparently the non-US sites dont have a similar service available. Am I missing something?

 
 

Like, if I wanted to see the price fluctuations over time of Wright Company of Orville and Wilbur Wright fame is there a website I could view it on? A 10 minute google didnt provide me any answers so I'm curious if anyone has looked into things like this or if I'll need to contact the Library of Congress to see something over 100 years old because it isn't digitized? Or does that data not exist any more for some reason? Did it not even get recorded?

Breaking things that worked flawlessly for years, nice. Hopefully fixed soon. It's not just me is it?

Screen rotates when I click the fullscreen button but video doesn't fill the screen, rotates back to vertical after a second. I was able to get it to work properly by turning on rotate screen in the pull down menu and then turning the phone. It still remained in the squashed format shown above but when I pull the video down and then tap on the minimized video it pops out into full screen finally. So it's still usable but the 5 step fix is pretty frustrating.

No I haven't filed a bug report, youtube is a grownup company and do it's own rudimentary beta testing. Sad to see unforced errors like this more and more common in longstanding industry standard apps.
