I still feel like they seem to be building a bit too much hype to what’s going to be just another type of social media in the fediverse with scarce posts made by almost exclusively tech enthusiasts

Its great, I’d argue its main downfall (lack of popularity) stems a lot from the fact they don’t have any form of API like Wikipedia does. They can’t even agree on a single logo. Otherwise its a great resource.

Same with people believing all vtubers are AI chatbots or, to a lesser extent, that all female vtubers are just men with voice changers.

Like a minute or two of looking up either on any search engine would clear things up. But hell if it does show how little the average internet user seems to know about AI or audio editing. A lot of people seem to think technology is just straight up magic.

They also originated loot boxes (TF2)

Damn this unearthed some memories, gotta check their channels out later

Why is the preview pic two politicians kissing aggresively

The only active AI feature is the automatic alt text one, and that’s entirely local. The second one is a sidebar that will just open AI chat websites, which you could already do by just, ya know, looking up the webpages the regular way. No data is getting sent anywhere so far.

I take it they finally moved on from 1990 in the government?

This has been available for most of the year. What took any tech news org so long to even awknowledge its existence?

“Our users, who don’t have as much free time as they did during the pandemic, didn’t binge watch a 13 episode show, one hour per episode, the very day it came out like they did during lockdown? Cancel the show its a flop”

Fucking Aquaman

Yeah, that’s odd. I could swear Google had something in its terms that specified you couldn’t mix its results with other search engines.

I quite like it precisely because it provided no recommendations. I’m not enticed to waste time watching something I wasn’t interested in 3 seconds ago. If I want to watch something I have to look it up and that’s usually the end of it.

Doesn’t the compatibility layer mean its restricted to its own wine prefix? Or am I misunderstanding?

If that were the case, wouldn’t the entire Fediverse be against it? Since they can’t really be deleted because it gets sent everywhere.

This is technically another jean meme

Its all about the infraction point

Thats great, now try that with acquaintances, coworkeea, classmates or companies that only chat through WhatsApp. I wish I could go nuclear but WA is a necessity.

Doesn’t seem like loss porn central yet

I do know what you mean. But I’m taking this in another direction to point out that, Christ, a lot of writers seem unable to not make the male and female leads of anything fall in love for no reason. Literally most of the forced romance is hetero romance.
