- Comment on TikTok Users Gleefully Embrace Even More Chinese App To Spite US TikTok Ban 6 days ago:
Alright. I’m finally hearing enough about pixelfed to start looking into it. Are there any good resources for jumping in?
I see it’s decentralized. Do I just go to pixelfed.org and create an account, or is this like the fediverse where you have to pick an instance to get started?
- Comment on DJI will no longer stop drones from flying over airports, wildfires, and the White House 6 days ago:
DJI voluntarily created its geofencing feature, so it makes a certain degree of sense that the company would get rid of it now that the US government no longer seems to appreciate its help, is blocking some of its drone imports, calls DJI a “Chinese Military Company,” and has started the countdown clock on a de facto import ban.
“The FAA does not require geofencing from drone manufacturers,” FAA spokesperson Ian Gregor confirms to The Verge.
While I don’t think this is a good change, especially after that drone damaged one of the firefighting planes, it does make sense that they would stop hamstringing their product if it’s not required. I assume consumers will also appreciate not being treated like children, but again… it’s not always a good idea to trust everyone to use common sense.

The person you replied to said
after I had 5 years to freeze dry enough shit to trade for concubines.
and you indicated that your sister would have enough of her own freeze-dried food that she wouldn’t need to trade for it. Thus, she is safe from being OP’s concubine.
- Comment on Social media users probably won't read beyond this headline, researchers say 1 month ago:
Not to mention the tracking (ok, you mentioned cookie notices, but not the actual tracking) that will ultimately impact your social media feeds.
“Huh, my friend-across-the-aisle just posted something that contradicts my world view, but I’m not sure I trust that site. If I click on it, will my feed suddenly be flooded with more untrustworthy sources?”
It’s usually not worth the risk.

It’s a shame it doesn’t work on mobile.

- Comment on Why is the word "expat" a thing? 2 months ago:
A quick Google search says that an expat usually only lives in a new place for a limited period of time. An immigrant moves to a new place with intent to settle.
Whether that’s how it’s used colloquially is another matter…

- Comment on How I fell out of love with Facebook(2004-2024) 3 months ago:
Yeah, I definitely remember when they started showing things I didn’t ask for, and I thought “I don’t like that!”
It took a little while, but I eventually started to play “how far can I scroll before I get something I didn’t ask for?”
Shortly after that, I realized I actually had to start playing “how far until I get something I did ask for?”.
Once I realized that, I cut back significantly. I still go from time to time when I’m stuck waiting in line or something, but itbroke my daily habit. I miss what it used to be, but I certainly don’t miss what it is.

- Comment on Walmart's use of digital price tags signal the future of retail shopping, but consumers are worried 5 months ago:
So, if I grab an item off the shelf and browse around the store for a while, is the price going to be the price currently displayed or the price when I grabbed it?
If it’s the current price, what’s the point of a price tag? If I can’t actually know the price until checkout, then showing me the price is kind of a useless bit of data. I also suspect that the “speak to a manager” types would make that a major headache for stores.
If it’s the price when I grabbed it, how are they keeping track of that? I see two ways of handling that: one requires that you use their app to shop, and the other requires cameras and “machine vision” that are still unreliable, at best. The former seems more likely, but I doubt either is going to sit well with customers.
I haven’t seen that aspect addressed in any articles about the “feature”.

When I went to college, I remember hearing “Don’t Stop Believin’”, and thinking that it sounded really familiar.
Eventually, I remembered that I had played a lot of the Atari game “Journey Escape” when I was younger, and that wasn’t just a weird name for a game. 🤯
