Here's a link to the video.

I see this as a small victory for the Fediverse.

There’s definitely an LTT writer that’s active here.

During the last TalkLinked Jacob said he was on Lemmy :)

*gestures passionately* "Download Lemmy!"

I'm feeling warm and fuzzy for some reason.

I am 35, you're *classified*

The Lemmy energy is strong here.

The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.

Lvxferre

It's also missing IMO some mass to discuss more specific topics. For example, there's enough people to discuss "anime" or "games", but too few to discuss a specific anime series, or a specific game.

That'll get better in time too, I believe.

danc4498

Yeah, true. I still jump to Reddit to view tv show discussions, just won’t log in or comment anymore.

Soon BuzzFeed will be stealing content from Lemmy

You won't believe our top five Star Trek and Linux memes of the week!

Blocked all meme subs... this place has enough content without filler now imho

Blocked all meme subs

I guess that works... I just never subscribed to them in the first place. Either way, I'm super happy to see more activity on the platform.

You have done well, Lemmy. Keep going, and become greater than the corporate-overlord media.

puchaczyk

I'm convinced someone on LTT's team is on Lemmy. Two weeks ago one of their quickbits had a title "u/spez endorses lemmy".

You left your SI in the link

ulterno , edited

What is an si (I presume session id)?

And where do look, if there is a standard for these thingies?

I understand that these are query strings, but who decides which keys are there and what they mean? And if they depend completely on the server's implementation, then how do you know what the "si" key means, except from experience?

Thanks in advance.

MindTraveller

It's an individual tracking code that tells Google who generated the youtube link you click on. That way, they can see who you're talking with on other websites.

I went, "Ooh! That's some ingenuity!" and [HTML_REMOVED], both at the same time.

Wasting the ingenuity for this stuff.

I wish reddit a very merry "Going the way of Myspace and Ebaumsworld"

Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful

zod000

Well, they are definitely something that is awful.

WanderingVentra

It's happening!

You know how people will repost screenshots of tweets or whatever? The other day I saw a screenshot of a Mastodon post on Instagram.

Link to segment. And, no, not only didn't Liechtenstein not cross the threshold they're not even in the EU they can't vote.

Even more up to date numbers straight from the commission.

khannie

Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We're movin'!

I'm worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.

Scroll Responsibly

It’s like we need a DOI system for lemmy posts.

Kalcifer , edited

When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).

sysop

That's unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It's all links and links to each other. Check out https://archive.is and https://archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something

Mama we made it

Well done, that's so awesome to see.

Fuck yeah, the most wholesome gaming community, no less.

Ellia Staite

did LTT ever actually fix that issue where they stole somebody's prototype after trashing it in a review where they tested it on the wrong thing? I had a weird vibe about Linus before that, and just wrote him off after

hihellobyeoh

I think they addressed it, but idk much about it.

FiniteBanjo

Somebody wanna fill me in on the don't kill games thing? I've heard it mentioned 3 times now over the course of a week or two so I figure maybe it's something noteworthy.

Devorlon

It's an initiative to stop game companies (EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard etc) from being able to decide if you can play a video game that you've bought. The example used is for the video game "The Crew" which was an online-only racing game. After the servers were shutdown by Ubisoft, the game that many people bought became unplayable.

What StopKillingGames wants, is that any company that publishes / develop games provide a way for people who own the game to continue playing it indefinitely. This would most likely come in the form of a game server that could be run by any owner of the game, and shouldn't be a requirement that publishers / developers run the servers forever as that would be unsustainable.

Why does it have to be LMG of all places to use lemmy. Linus is not the cool tech guy anymore, he's just another corpa boss who prefers profits over people and accuracy.

LMG has a long history of overworking its workers, plus reports of sexual harassment and bullying...

He belongs with spez and all other profit shitheads the fediverse is supposed to be free of.

My favorite linus quote (when asked why he didn't properly test a product for a video):

I don't know if I can apologize for not spending another $500 of various people's time.

barsoap

Didn't he step down as boss after the latest kerfuffle because he just doesn't make for a good boss.

SuperSleuth

Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it. The people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.

When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn't say "oh well", and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren't happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like "corpa boss" to me. Now I can't tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.

acockworkorange

Ew, LTT. I feel dirty.

Beehaw isn’t even Lemmy under the hood iirc but that’s nitpicking

Piefed I think, I don’t even know what it is, I can’t find a ios client for it. it doesn’t even appear in any instance choice dropdowns or such. It’s a marvel it works at all. Probably glued together with cardboard and bee shit like my uni projects

rbits [OP]

Nah I'm pretty sure it's still lemmy. This page seems to say they are looking at moving to something else, but they're still using lemmy for now https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/
