  • Honestly fuck off. I came to Lemmy because I'm sick of people telling me what I can view and how I can view it. Guess I'll go find another instance again.

  • “Apple Music launches a Discovery Station to help you find new songs”
  • wait, this wasn't a thing already? I dont use apple products so Im not familiar. YT Music has had a discovery playlist for years at this point.

  • Wordle #779 - Mon 7 August 2023
  • Found this one challenging. Got it on my fourth guess. My first guess was a complete miss.

  • Rosé D [Nikon Z5, F3.2, 105mm, 1/320s, ISO 200]
  • Ah, F2.8 is fine. The background being blurred out is good because the focus should be entirely on the model. You could stop down or use a strong ND filter and try and do a long exposure to get the water nice and blurry.

  • Rosé D [Nikon Z5, F3.2, 105mm, 1/320s, ISO 200]
  • I wouldn't suggest anything really. I do the same thing. You can change the ring to some other setting if you want (or turn it off)

  • Team Fortress 2 Update Released (July 25, 2023) [community fixes (!), minor map/VSH balance, experimental maxplayer uncapping]
  • This is such a huge boost to the games longevity! I can see some crazy game-modes coming out that include more than the standard 24/32 players.

  • Rosé D [Nikon Z5, F3.2, 105mm, 1/320s, ISO 200]
  • F3.2? Let me guess, you bumped the control ring XD

  • How desperate US prisoners try to escape deadly heat
  • as long as prisons are for-profit, we wont get better conditions. Watching a few documentaries on prisons in some European countries shows just how far behind we are.

  • Rules of Use for Bots
  • Is there a feature that could allow linking a bot account to a parent account? Then if you ban the bot it could automatically ban the parent account and any other accounts it manages?

  • [WINNER: OPTION B] Choose Voyager's icon!
  • C, but it needs the eyes to be cute'r

  • Two yellow Lamborghinis crashed in Singapore
  • Hate to see a nice car damaged like that, but its incredibly satisfying to think about how some rich guy lost a shit load of money because of something stupid

  • What's the best financial decision you've ever made?
  • I dumped most of my life savings into buying stocks after COVID happened. I had just started investing and took a massive hit in March of 2020. Rather than pulling my money, I waited a month for the market to stop falling. Then I put a lot of money into US oil, and a few Casino/resort stocks.

    I didn't have a ton of money, but those investments have more than doubled. I still can't fully pay of my house, but im getting close.

  • I took a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge
  • This is a really solid shot. Its hard not to love pictures of this bridge.

    You didn't ask for it, but here is some criticism:

    1. The framing is slightly off. The view second tower is slightly obstructed in an unpleasing way
    2. The color is a bit flat, I feel color is of the highest importance with this specific landmark
    3. The scaffolding at the bottom left feels like an afterthought. Maybe include more or less of it to tell a story about the bridges current state.
    4. The sky is kinda boring. Try adding more color to make the blue pop. Alternatively, wait till sunset to get that gold to pop.

    Please take more pictures. You have an eye for it so keep pushing forward. Share more!

  • What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • Battery backup for network equipment. Having your router stay on when the power drops for a few minutes is the best.

  • Reddit slowly became filled with hate
  • That's a pretty good example. I remember there was a youtube video that discussed the sub when it got banned. This was years ago so I don't remember who uploaded it. The guy discussed that (as a fat person), he didn't like that it got banned. It was really easy for him to block the sub so he would never see that kind of content. Then when it got banned those people flooded out to everywhere else. The echochamber was actually somewhat effective in containing that group of people.

  • Reddit slowly became filled with hate
  • people forget r/imgoingtohellforthis was a thing. Hate was always on reddit. It might have been disguised as something else, but it was there. Problem is its impossible to tell what's satire and whats actually objectionable. There was a tipping point where imgoingtohellforthis switched from satire to objective racism. Reddit started its downward decline the day that sub got banned. I dont endorse what they became, but banning them proved reddit was no longer as open as they claimed.
