This may be apocryphal, but rumor was that Jackson said he based his performance in Django on Clarence.

Got tired of trying to figure out what service to watch a show on this week. Back to sailing the 7 seas…

I’ll also toss out that if you privacy and non-annoyance are your goals with an out of the box voice assistant, the only real option these days is a HomePod. I built my smart home with combination of Echos throughout the house, and I pretty much regret it now. I wasn’t as worried about privacy, but these things are so fucking annoying these days. “Start a timer for 5 minutes.” “Okay, do you want to play some bullshit trivia game while you’re timer is going?” No, never. Ever. I mean, at least she’ll still turn the lights on without spouting back something dumb, but that’s just about it. Probably what I’ll be doing now is still using the Alexholes as a speaker target with the mute button on all of the time (better spotify integration) and start replacing with siri balls.

They took a 250m funding round and used it to build an nft site. reddit’s problems are 100% self created. Think about how ama’s used to be and how they managed to kill that. They could have had several revenue streams just based on ama’s.

It’s fine now when there aren’t nearly as many users, but I don’t see it scaling long term unless hashtags are a thing or something like that. Even something simple like gaming, over on reddit I’m in several very active subs - pcgaming, playstation, playstation4, several zelda subs, etc. If fediverse alternatives get to even 1/4 of the userbase that reddit has, the gaming (or whatever) portion is going to be such a firehose it won’t really be usable. And IIRC this is how it played out on reddit as well. I think (though could be mistaken) reddit started with a fairly small set of subs and it wasn’t until later that you could create your own subs.

Same setup here, though since i’m on basically all Apple devices when iOS 17 public beta is out I’m going to switch to just using the built in manager. Supports two factor, and the main achilles for me was that I couldn’t share passwords, but that’s fixed for 17.

Yes, but reddit is unique in the social media companies in that Twitter (pre-Elon) and facebook at least had to pay a shit ton of money to get people to moderate.

It’s basically “no one cares as long as the trains run on time.” In the extreme, I would bet that it’s single-digits of TikTok users that actually make content. Reddit is probably not even that far from that. This move, let’s piss off our unpaid moderators and the users that make all of our content, is going to effect even the normies.

“it’s time to grow up and be an adult company” he says, logging on to the site that’s mostly memes, anime, and pictures of people’s genitals.
