I don't know how I feel about this, but tbh that is based on what they were, not what they are.

I suspect we're not taking about actual storytelling here as much as anecdotes that signal whether you will or will not agree with the rest of what's about to be said, but to answer the question as asked, imho good storytelling depends as much on the listener as the teller.

Some find joy to be infectious, they'll enjoy a story because the teller's eyes light up, and watching someone loving the shit out of something is itself a joyful experience.

Some will only enjoy a story if it's of direct positive relevance to them, regardless of who's telling it.

Does your ISP block ports? Many do, at least where I am. Some allow you to opt-out.

Why the DOJ’s Google Ad Tech Case Matters to You in c/technology

[–] postnataldrip 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

She makes some good points, but only focuses on Google's monopoly being an issue. It is, but there's no mention of privacy concerns, the oversaturation of ads, space being created for ads by deliberately worsening the UX, etc. The industry itself is a shitshow.

The issue isn't so much that Google has a monopoly on the enormously invasive data that's collected. The issue is that it is being collected.

As cool (heh) as this is, it saddens me knowing it's just going to be used for data mining and ads

Bet you they will make them work in inhospitable conditions and forget they exist until they don't meet an unrealistic performance target.

No wait, sorry. I was thinking of their human workers.

Yep, it's pretty normal in c/memes

Saw someone making a sandwich once in stop-start traffic, cutting board resting against the (airbag) steering wheel and using a knife. Didn't hear about them on the news that evening so can only assume Darwin missed it.

Couple of feature requests - collapse entire comment thread, bookmark groups (self.boostforlemmy)

Hi there, I recall on Boost for Reddit that I could open a post, and collapse comment threads to a single line, which was excellent - it made it really easy to scroll past comments I've already read or decided I'm not interested in, and I might be wrong but I think there was an option to auto-collapse everything but new comments? On Lemmy, replies are collapsed but the comment I tapped on remains open, regardless of whether it's the top of a comment thread or one mid-conversation. So best I can collapse to is a post and all of its top-level comments.

The other one is that on Reddit I was able to create a group and add subs to it. That group would appear in my sidebar, and when opened it'd be a feed of those subs without needing to join each one (which makes 'Subscribed' really busy). On Lemmy I can add favourites to the sidebar, but they show up in the list individually - I'd like for example to have a single entry in that list called Home Tech, when I tap it I get a feed of only home automation or homelab stuff. Then another one just for memes. Etc

If these settings already exist and I've just missed them please let me know, otherwise I'd really appreciate if they could be added to BfL.

Thanks for the fantastic app and ongoing support!
