Anybody else remember the $2000 gold plated hdmi cable on amazon? The reviews were wild lol.

I’m sure the advertisers are going to love that.
Confirmed Slide no longer works either and unistalled it from my phone. So long reddit, it was fun (but utimately misguided of me to invest time/attention towards it).
Hello Lemmy, you hot new thing!
Eehh fuck the conseritives on the supreme court.
Yes! 2010: the year we make contact (or something). It’s pretty good, different director.
I’d like to see some sort of export/import functionality as well. Instances will come and go, and it would suck for people on those to just lose their stuff with out having a way to back up/restore it.
Cookiesheet bacon is the best! If you like it crispy it helps to broil it for a minute or so at the end of cooking it.
Yeah does it seems like decentralized (federated or otherwise) systems will be the future of social media. There’s lemmy (only four years old, the most popular I’d say), bluesky (another federated system), and plebbit (peer to peer, uses ipfs) to highlight a few. So there seemsto be a lot of exploration in this space.
I think reddit will be around for quite some time, but it’ll never be the same, and die a slow death.
I think because the federation isn’t profit motivated it won’t become enshittified which is what drives people away.
I know it will get better and evolve. I’m excitied to see how it evolves over time.
It’s definately a classic. The sequel is good too.
Ah yes further proof that companies don’t give a fuck about anything ixcept making more money.
This is least painful/scary way for them to die. It’d be an instantaneous death.
High pressure under water does weird things
Maybe the article title was a bit hyperbolic, but the company is still around so someoni finds it useful
True, company is still around so someone finds it’s useful.
Never used Sync (I used RiF then slide) but I’ll check it out when it’s released. The is great news for lemmy and the fediverse. Oh and fuck reddit.
I thought it was cool that there was a recursive element to the simulated realities.
Episode was a surveillance capitalism nightmare.
Anyway that stuff doesn’t matter. What matters is it was pretty clear and mostly agreed that the internet works best when we use open protocols and not hide community generated content behind login screens and apps. We agreed to continue to participate in adding to the global knowledge as long as everyone played nice and allowed the content we put in for free, can be indexed, RSS’d, shared and scraped. This way anyone can find it and benefit from it.
This to me is the worst part of the enshittification of reddit. All that human interaction and knowledge base is “owned” and controlled by a profit driven entity. Reddit hasn’t done it yet, but I think the time is approaching when they gatekeep all that data behind a login, which will prevent it from showing up in google searches.
Bringing this full circle. Federated apps feel like the logical next steps. I think this path is the correct one.
Lemmy is only four years oldand will continue to get better. There will be other projects (kbin, plebbit to name a few) trying to accomplish the same thing as lemmy, exploration is good. It’s an exciting time for social media.
Brotato is fun!
