I think that it’s mostly just Lemmy being less dominated by native English speakers. Many of those mistakes that seem baffling “make sense” in some other languages

At least they’ll never find a complicit management. Still it doesn’t matter, I’m going to enjoy this space while it’s nice :)

Exactly what the big platforms want, and exactly what’s different about Lemmy. Low-volume, high-quality interactions

Why would you need an FBI background check outside of the US?

A brain can also do that

At least we have an easy tag to spot bad journalism

Fair, good point :)

This doesn’t really have anything to do with critical thinking, it’s just that our brains work on estimations and approximations, although experience can balance it out.

Try this: draw a martini glass (inverted cone), and draw a line where you think it would be half full.

It will be wrong. Numberphile - Cones are messed up (YT)

I don’t think that’s how most pirates, myself included, see it. It’s not about “needing” to see the mandalorian, it’s simply about wanting to see it, but if the only way to see it “legally” is to make a monthly subscription for a service that offers me no other value, offered by a company I don’t want to support, I’m not doing that. And the thing is that it doesn’t have to be this way - I happily paid for Netflix for years, before content started being fragmented. As a wise man once put it, piracy is a service problem, not a price problem.

Same with Youtube - it’s not the ads, it’s the endless amount, the annoying implementations, and non-creator-friendly practices. They’re not doing ads in order to keep the servers running - they simply need to find new ways to squeeze every cent of profit quarter after quarter, and I’m not playing that game.

This only applies to big corps though - if you pirate indie content and don’t even make a donation to the artist, you’re an ass.

Yeah ok we get it, they just release the latest checkpoint of their continuously trained model whenever convenient and make big headlines out of it.
