There are none. There are no Twitter features that I miss on Mastodon. What I miss are the variety of users on the former that aren't on the latter. That's the only real difference between the social media services I use a lot and

I 100% agree with this, and I try to stick by it for just about every article I write now. Does someone I'm interviewing talk about a game or movie they enjoyed as a kid? It'll get linked to the Wikipedia page for said work, or if

Yeah, YouTube definitely has a role to play here. I've heard about people getting copyright strikes for contesting unfair takedowns, even when logically that should fall back to the DMCA system and the claimant should be ready to put t

There are multiple ways you could avoid this though: 1. Use a language that isn't JavaScript and avoid JavaScript frameworks, since most non JS setups don't require managing thousands of dependencies to get something working. 2. U

Yeah, this is it. Otherwise you'd think the non federated Twitter alternatives that popped up recently (Cohost, Post, Hive, Substack Notes, etc) would be lighting the world on fire and taking lots of Twitter's disgruntled users. B

It's usually stories that support the sharer's worldview, or that they (in some way), almost 'want' to be true. So a die hard vegan might be more likely to share a story about the dangers of eating meat than a barbecue e

Sega released a whole visual novel where the player has to solve the mystery of Sonic's apparent murder. That was well received online, and got a ton of high review scores: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Murder_

But will Substack actually manage it? Because to be 100% honest, Twitter has a crap ton of alternatives right now (Mastodon, Hive, Cohost, Post, etc), and none of them have come close to replacing it. Twitter may be a shitshow and not long

Is there an actual cap to the karma score here? Will Dang's karma reset to 0 at that point, or stop increasing altogether? Regardless, congrats Dang. You've done a great job moderating Hacker News, and somehow keeping the peace al

What's more, the contagiousness aspect isn't the only issue here. Jerks tend to cause problems for organisations for other reasons too. Such as: 1. They scare away a lot of competent workers, since many smart and talented employee

The best solution is what the Indieweb folks called POSSE: Publish on your Own Site , Syndicate Elsewhere: https://indieweb.org/POSSE For instance, I might publish a clip on my own site first, then mirror it to places like

Wonder how those stats compare in other places? It feels to me at least like the numbers should be similar in places like the UK, mainland Europe, Canada, Australia, etc, but that's just based on my own personal acquaintances/bubb

Yeah, I'd agree with this. Of course, both the 'brilliant jerk' and 'incompetent but nice' folks are a liability in the long run (they both drive away genuinely nice, talented contributors), but the jerk tends to dr

Yeah, this is it right here. EU investors are terrified of risky bets, or throwing a lot of money at untested business ideas to see if they'll catch on. Investors in the US will throw millions or even billions of dollars at an innovati

I'd say many trades won't be replaced by AI anytime soon. Electrician, plumber, carpenter, interior decorator, gardener, etc... the environments the work takes place in is just too difficult to automate right now. They'll eve

The company I'm working for at the moment. We probably need another developer or two, but management aren't hiring anyone at the moment, so that's unlikely to change anytime soon.

Interestingly, it seems like even those products seemingly not affected by price inflation have taken a hit over here in the UK. In addition to that, we've also seen: 1. Products offering far smaller portion sizes than before, likely t

AI won't replace that many creative jobs in the long run because the value of many of those creative jobs doesn't come from some objective aspect of the work. Being technically good isn't what it's important here, it&#x2

Yeah, I've noticed that. Actual videos on the site come up for relevant queries, as for pages on the YouTube site when you search for them (like YouTube Help). But just 'YouTube' on its own doesn't seem to bring up the h

Based on my experience, the door close button seems to work as expected at my office. Press the button, and the doors close much more quickly than they usually do. As for crossing buttons... generally they do work in the UK. It's just

There are some really good points here, especially for those trying to chase fame and fortune as a creator or artist. Like this: > You return from the peak and think, “Damn. I need that rush again. I need to climb another mountain.” But

Agreed 100%. So many issues with the economic system come from the fact companies want capitalism when it benefits them, but something akin to socialism when there's a risk they'll fail. So no. If your bank can't make payment

Hah way ahead of you there! Got some amiibo cards for Breath of the Wild about a year or two ago, and they've worked fantastically.

Yeah, I don't care much for the term either. It kinda assumes that history naturally moves in one direction, and that the everything moves naturally towards whatever the author considers progress. But who's to say which political

by CM30 4y ago
Yeah, amiibo content is definitely on the exploitative side. Most of the things you get with it in games like The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild should have been available in the base game, and it irritates me that quality of life featu

It's a shame the game is so predatory with its monentisation tactics, since the actual content (tracks, characters, items, etc) is actually rather good. It's just most of it is buried under this pay to win, limited time bullshit.

Seems like a good idea for a feature. It helps made content more accessible to those using screen readers and other such devices, and makes the content more readable than it is with plain text alone. Is it the best platform for long form ar
