I’m willing to discuss UI/UX issues but that top comment is just stupid.

The first complaint is that “lemmy.world” shouldn’t exist, because websites should be dot com. That’s not a UI/UX issue, that’s just ignorance. As we all know Bluesky has also failed to pickup any users due to its URL bsky.app, you obviously can’t have a dot app website!

The second argument is worth looking at, but it’s unclear based on their comment what went wrong. If you go to Reddit and search for Brazil/Brasil do you just magically find every community you’re looking for? I doubt it. Discovery can and should be improved but this person found an instance before a community?

It is wholesome. A family in the film even stops to watch the miracle of life.

The first step is buying devices from reputable vendors and trustworthy resellers to minimize the likelihood of malware being pre-loaded from the factory or while in transit.

Given the size I suspect this is also a common attack vector.

Also,

Android TV devices should have their remote access features disabled if not needed, while taking them offline when not used is also an effective strategy.

Is this a thing? Why would a TV have remote access features?

Yes you do? If the moderator or admin of your instance doesn’t like something, it’s gone.

Sure you could post to another instance, but the line of posting to another instance or posting to another service is a thin one.

I fully agree that Bluesky is far from the distributed haven it might claim to be, but just because it makes a decision that any Fediverse instance might have made doesn’t mean it’s over.

Bluesky has problems, but those problems are still within the realm of fixable. Fediverse alternatives may be better, but Bluesky is still fine.

A video produced using artificial intelligence (AI) showing President Trump rubbing and kissing Elon Musk’s feet

That’s some poor reporting. How do we know it was AI generated? The footage looks authentic to me.

My coffee is in a cup. The cup is on a coaster. The coaster is on my coffee table. My coffee table also has no coffee on it. Except the coffee I spilled.

I’m not sure why Trump would think that, Musk explicitly told him they were doing fine.

Musk is in charge and Donny gets to shitpost on Twitter, is that not what he wanted?

It’s like a repost, but it lets you add your own post to it and shows the original post as a quote bubble.

So like this?

Or like this?

I mean what they can do I’ve said. What I expect is a lot more damage from the Trump administration. Democrats are generally on board with reigning the administration in and/or stopping it, depending on what happens.

Unfortunately the majority for most things sit with Republicans, so it will be slow getting them to respond to Trump. I expect a few Republicans will chime in from time to time, might help stop a few things. Of course Congress lacks the resources to enforce things, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens there.

Eventually Trump is going to go too far. I would argue he already has, but specifically he’s going to go too far for Republicans. The speaker, Johnson, is the one to watch. I think McConnell still has some sway, but he’s also clearly very ill physically. Actually Republicans that are usually quiet are probably the ones to watch first.

Dems have no choice but to confirm her through.

That was the Bernie plan in 2016 & 2020 during the primaries. Clinton had the support of the established Democratic party and with superdelegates Clinton took a commanding lead. Similar situation with Biden, most dropped out before Super Tuesday and endorsed him.

Now both of these instances could be considered “smart politics”. If you’ve got the political maneuvering to win the primary, then maybe you’ve got the same maneuvering to win the general.

It didn’t work out for Clinton. It did work out for Biden.

When we look at our most recent election, it’s clear there was a little bit more of a rift, but Harris was chosen and there was no primary.

Now, some of this is simplified and there is plenty to argue. But suffice to say we can’t just vote for AOC “so much” that she’ll win. I don’t see the Democratic party supporting her.

Now it’s too early to talk about 2028 realistically and a lot can change between now and then, but if she were running today she’d have my vote.

Yes, what congress WILL do versus what they SHOULD do are different things.

If you look at things like the recent Gaza statements by Trump I think it’s clear Trump is going to continuously step over the line and others will need to walk it back. Eventually that someone will be congress, I just hope it’s sooner rather than later, although I fear it will be later rather than sooner.

Because that’s what makes it funny.

Any real brand would work, but “Have a Let’s™ Brand Potato Chip” reminds you that it’s fake. By having a real brand you have that brief moment of confusion before realizing it must be fake, but it’s funny to think about the “what if”.

If it is real advertising, then kudos to Cinnabon for being early to the game. It will be like Branded Twitter accounts where Wendy’s capitalized early, it was funny, but now no one cares.

What do you propose that they do?

Impeach and remove Trump. Yes, a Vance administration might do the same things but Congress would make it clear they’re not willing to allow such bullshit.

Or subpoena Musk and others, which I know recently failed a vote to do exactly that.

Congress CAN do a lot of things, they were designed to be a powerful pillar of government. They have ceded much of that power through inaction over the years but they can take it back.

And reading an article from TechCrunch,

“The social network has a Twitter-like user interface with algorithmic choice, a federated design and community-specific moderation.”

“Is Bluesky decentralized? Yes. Bluesky’s team is developing the decentralized AT Protocol, which Bluesky was built atop.”

“However, the launch of federation will make it work more similarly to Mastodon in that users can pick and choose which servers to join and move their accounts around at will.”

So it definitely is pitching that is it decentralized and federated. Maybe the argument is that it “will be”, but at the moment it is not and at the moment it does not look like it will be an actual possibility.

Now people leaving Twitter is great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s possibly just kicking the can down the road. In a few years we’ll likely have articles complaining about missing “Old Bluesky” and how “new Bluesky” has the exact same problems that “Old Twitter” had.

It’s not even that, it’s someone told you to make a cake, so you talk about how you don’t make cakes, your against making a cake, but you could make a cake if someone really needs you to.

And if your girlfriend does then make a cake, you just start taking credit.

Actions are louder than words.

Even after facing more than a dozen questions about Snowden, however, Gabbard refused to back down. Instead, Gabbard told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Snowden broke the law and that she would no longer push for his pardon

Is that not backing down?

Rover Dangerfield was just “What if Rodney Dangerfield was a dog?” and as I kid I loved it. I had a vague idea of who Rodney was so this was the perfect transition film for a kid. Arguably I watched his career in reverse, but because of this film I watched it.

To see the reviews on this film and that it did so poorly, no respect at all.

The opening of the article gets it wrong but is so close to realizing it.

I stopped buying most games for my Nintendo Switch the day I bought a Steam Deck.

I did not.

My Switch has been a Mario and Zelda machine ever since.

That’s why I did not. Switch has the exclusive.

It’s simple: the Steam Deck took the Switch’s best trick — pick-up-and-play portability

That’s a great feature, but the best is the games.

Even with verification the Internet will be full of misinformation.

Let’s look at the recent 2024 Springfield pet-eating hoax. A woman, who I can lookup the name of, posted that she heard people in her neighborhood were eating cats and dogs. That misinformation quickly spread and was shouted at a US Presidential debate.

While the woman who originally posted it apologized, no one who spread that misinformation did.

While verification might help keep some people honest, it’s likely only going to keep those already honest, honest.

That was my first thought too.

Although it’s also possible some edgy teen made a comment online from a Chicago School computer. And by comment I mean threat worth investigating.
