What can I say, it kinda pisses me off that they set me up and can't even answer the question.

Good news is that since I'm easily replaceable the next guy can worry about the perfect apology.

Sorry about coming off as rude but all I wanted was an answer why they'd be easily replaceable because that's the only way Google can willynilly just fire the entire staff. Otherwise the premise doesn't make sense.

But you're probably six feet deep on a five foot pole so apologies probably won't do too much for your.

I thought you were saying ai was able to create that final book with an ending? I guess not.

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Okay, now do a coherent book with themes and plot that carry through out the whole book.

Tried browsing Temu on mobile browser. Fucking impossible. They push the app so hard that the website is basically unusable after few clicks. Compared to them, Reddit's gentle reminder feels like a favor.

Anyway, turned me off totally from the site. If someone wants me to use their app when I'm potentially a paying customer, website or not, seems really suspicious. Seems like my instincts were correct.

Not at the moment at least, if ever.

Thanks for the tip! Agree to disagree about everything but I still I think your framing wasn't fair compared to the show in question. Have a nice day.

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don't you think this show will be a little more than a vague reference or a quick cameo? I think you're making a really disingenuous argument here.

And those cameos or shared-universe things should be negotiated anyway and probably are. It actually is also somewhat helpful for the show to share the universe with another popular show, otherwise they wouldn't do that. But this isn't that. This is them going "you liked Netflix's Daredevil, so here, enjoy". That's their selling point. It's not from the makers of Daredevil, it's the same Daredevil.

Makes no sense if it's the same premise, same major characters and basically the same recipe as the original -- which seems to be its selling point. But the mouse fucks over whoever it can.

 

Title

 

Those of you not plugged into the Mastodon community may not be aware of the predominant reaction to Instagram Threads. This started when it was merely rumored, reaching a crescendo with reports that Meta had been talking to a few of the larger Mastodon instances under NDA, presumably to encourage them not to “defederate” with Threads when it came online.1 Let me describe that reaction for you, with only mild exaggeration:

 

When Meta announced Threads, their new Twitter competitor, they claimed in the very first paragraph that it would interoperate with Mastodon and other social networks based on the open-source ActivityPub protocol: The official Mastodon site responded with their own blog post to address frequently asked questions

 

And why? Whether it's a comment, a post, a specific community/magazine, an instance, a meme -- whatever. What has stuck with you so far?

 

I obviously appreciate the work @ernest has done and the team that's working on kbin but I'd like to know more about you. I apologize if the answers to these questions have been already answered.

  • What made you want to create kbin?
  • What are your goals with kbin?
  • Personal opinions or philosophy worth noting or the driving force behind kbin?
  • How can I support kbin?
 

I'm getting an itch to talk about hidden gems like Moon.

 
 

Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes... I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

I ask because I haven't felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on... But there might be other alternatives I haven't looked at that are worth that look.
