The letters I and C?

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek surprised by how much laying off 1,500 employees negatively affected the streaming giant’s operations in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] axus@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Daniel Ek founded the company. He got to where he's at by having lots of money. He got that money to found Spotify by being hired into other companies which were acquired. You're describing "Executive Vice Presidents" that were promoted from within.

That was very helpful, thank you! I wonder if this will increase server load :D

At about 15:15 the guy with the conspiracy theories brought up the greenhouse effect, and said it was coming in a few decades and not 100 years like they were saying.

Done? Time to unpin? Are those stupid questions?

A typical Internet scammer would have at least pretended to offer some money before stealing the username.

I really like that "old Reddit" skin , it'd be even better if the mini-thumbnails were optional.

The current Lemmy web interface is nice, but as number of posts and communities goes up I'd like the more compact form.

Yeah I don't blame Chinese people for their government's actions. It's like hating Americans for what Trump says. Simply invite real Chinese people to post on Lemmy and give their honest opinions on GreatFire, and stop hurting their feelings.

Since Lemmy is still in it's social infancy, it may be a good idea to handle AI generated content appropriately in c/meta@lemm.ee
[–] axus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I was thinking the moderators are going to have to flag posts as AI-generated , I'm not trusting the people posting them to do it. But 100% agree with what you were saying, there should be a way for users and moderators to mark a post as "containing AI-generated content", similar to NSFW; and then a way for us to filter "AI" like we would NSFW.

"Automation rather then manual work." How can the filter operate, if "AI generated media" are not flagged manually?

Welp that answers a lot of why all .ml are down in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] axus@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

A week ago I literally read articles about how .ml was switching to the (Russian-influenced) Mali government in a week, and did not even think about how lemmy.ml would be affected

"Upload image" button from website doesn't tell you image is too large (lemm.ee)
 

In the "URL" and "Body" sections, "Upload Image" button will fail with an obscure red status popup about HTML tags. I've confirmed it starts OK with images that are under the 100k limit. I'm guessing it's a problem in how the "too large" message is formatted.

I haven't tried from the apps, just https://lemm.ee

Slice and Dice seems pretty fun (lemm.ee)
 

I just installed the demo, looking like a high chance of buying the full version.

Please recommend some short fun visual novel stuff (lemm.ee)
 

Yes this is outside the scope of "Adventure" and "Point-and-Click" games, not really sure if the Narrative genre would be something different from visual novel.

I played two games by NeiLei on itch.io that were a little over an hour long each. Funny and the art was nice. Most of the games were watching the dialog, there was very limited player input but it was there.

Any suggestions for similar games that are 99% story, with different endings?

PC and Android games I've played this year (lemm.ee)
 

Minecraft, of course. I've enjoyed the Civcraft series of servers that simulate nation-building very well, in Survival mode with other players a danger. CivMC.net is the most popular current iteration.

Haven and Hearth is a non-Minecraft MMORPG along the same lines, similar to early Ultima Online in aesthetic but with inheritance instead of resurrection.

I got Slay the Spire on my tablet, spending $10 of those Google Rewards I've been saving up. I missed when that first came out, due to playing CivCraft :) Have been doing the daily runs, daily!

Shattered Pixel Dungeon was more last year, but I have played a bit of the update this year. It is very inspiring to have an open source Android+PC game that's a lot of fun with a great community, with people actually using the source to make their own variants on both platforms.

Picked up Mushroom Musume from itch.io, a nice almost-rogue-like adventure / story / creature-raising game . Definitely worth a few bucks but free if you can't.

Hexonia is a polished single-player mini Civilization-style game that at first glance seems gratuitously monetized, but any ads and purchases are voluntary; unlocking things without paying is it's own strategy game. The scope is limited, but I've really enjoyed the challenges and have gotten way more than my money's worth ($0).

Bought Phantom Brave on Steam sale, the story is cute but maybe too simplistic; good voice acting though. The turn-based combat on the missions is fun, I really do like an alternative to the grid.

Tactics Ogre Reborn on the same Steam sale, "good but not the greatest of all time" is how I'd describe it so far. Out of the two I've spent a lot more time on Phantom Brave and care about Tactics Ogre characters far less.
