Yay

Which goes to show that if you are a public figure whether in politics, entertainment, or otherwise, owning your own server for social media instead of relying on Zuck and Musk should be a critical concern at this point.

There is no reason for the Harris campaign to not dip their toe into federated social media at this point given Musk’s antagonism towards them.

One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that in terms of marketing, reddit has a disproportionately high level of return in interaction relative to its size, while Twitter has traditionally had a low level of return relative to its size.

For some reason, comments on reddit has always been viewed as more trustworthy relative to other social media platform, despite reddit or’s general reputation for being confidently incorrect on many subjects.

There are certain people whose entire career was made by their reddit posts, yet, it was always odd to me that reddit never managed to effectively capitalize on this other than making their platform worse with every update.

Testing out this theory has been interesting.

Although the BYDs and GWMs and MGs are getting popular in Australia, I have literally never seen a Chinese EV in the States outside of locally built BYD busses, and BYD cars have distinct designs that are fairly easy to spot. So this feels like posturing to me.

I, for one, can’t wait to have some of Applebee’s mouthwatering Bar Bees.

Also, speaking of manipulating comment sections with posts designed to promote products by mentioning them naturally, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated movie, “Barbie”, is now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services.

Have you checked out the buying guide on the sidebar yet?

Xiaomi phones tend to have more active custom rim communities since they have historically been fairly liberal with bootloader unlocks. Make sure it covers your provider’s frequency bands if you buy the global version and you live in the US, for example, otherwise you may have reception issues.

Still, the Zenfone 10 is probably your safest bet if a 3.5mm jack is mandatory for you.

Do you think we will see alternative wallet apps pop up from Cashapp or PayPal or even directly from bank apps? Also, would they be able to support the other non-payment functions of electronic wallets with transportation/event tickets and such?

They should switch the name to Wayland.com as a compromise.

The Meridian trench of the Death Star is on the outside, so the Death Star explosion is actually an outside job, you silly Billy!

Wait a minute:

I TAG JOHN CENA

The real answer is right in front of us all along. He played us all for fools.

Organic advertisements that look similar to user posts on reddit? How could they do such a thing?

Anyway, fellow lemmings, for no apparent reason, Today I Learned that Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated movie, “Barbie”, is now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services.

Thanks.

I think a lot of people would actively refuse to fly on a 737 MAX in the future.

The design of the MAX was flawed to begin with. Essentially, the Boeing 737, designed in the 1960s,could not compete with the newer A320Neo on fuel efficiency due to Airbus redesigning the A320 around the much larger, state of the art CFM LEAP engines (Neo stands for “New Engine Option”), Boeing choose to jerryrig the CFM LEAP engines on their existing 737 airframe instead of redesigning another plane around the engine.

Now, since the engine is oversized with respect to the airframe, the newly christened 737 MAX has a tendency to tip upward due to too much lift when flying. Boeing opted to correct this in software by having the plane automatically correct its flight by tipping downward if it senses the plane was tipping up, which they called the MCAS. And of course, since one of the selling point of the 737 MAX Boeing promised was that no additional training was needed for the 737 MAX, the pilots did not know about MCAS, much less have a way to have a manual override for it.

So what if the sensors made a mistake and tipped downward when it’s not supposed to, you ask? We found out in 2018.

It is not something that is fixable barring a grounds up redesign. But that’s not going to happen.

Technically, yes, for “Best Picture”, which is very much a team effort.

But no to “Best Actress”. 😢

Good thing we don’t have anyone infiltrating our favorite communities on Lemmy to market a movie, like the Golden Globe winning, Oscar nominated sensation of summer 2023, “Barbie”, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services!

(Watch the Oscars on Sunday please.)

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

AI generated images are not, and should not be considered copyright able, and they don’t own the right to the image they generated, as I understand it.

Otherwise, Midjourney are certainly very welcome to start paying royalties to certain popular celebrities whose images they are profiting off of. You can’t have it both ways.

So TikTok is sending out app notifications that they are at risk of being shut down and urging their users to call their representatives right now. They are not going down without a fight.

The 165 days time limit would land the deadline in August-ish, right before the most intense phase of election season in the States, and I do think TikTok would be a very influential part of the election strategy this year.

This post is against Rule 6, but I’ll leave it up this time since there are a decent amount of discussion here now.

lseif@sopuli.xyz, please remove the image when you can. You can post it in the comments.

Oh, that’s good news.

Have they open sourced it yet? I think I read something about that a while back.
