  • Substack is newsletter focused, subscriptions are for individual substack writers' newsletters (you can't access all substack newsletters with a single subscription) and it has a recommendation feature that writers like because it can help them grow their subscribers and therefore grow their revenue.

  • The problem I see with this idea is that I have no idea who most people are on "my" instance or what sort of content they're interested in. Even for a topic based instance like https://startrek.website/, outside of Star Trek, what are the chances that the interests of the members align?

    The Lemmy developers were working on making user defined custom feeds. If that ever get implemented, I'd certainly give many ideas a try. But the Lemmy devs don't have any new feed options on their priority list and I doubt they will anytime soon.

    The main dev (only dev?) of piefed seems much more likely to implement new ideas. For example, I had mentioned that only votes from a community's subscribers should be counted on posts to said community by default with the owner of the community given an option to count all votes. It was implemented within days.

  • They're going to events and taking nice pictures and releasing them to the public domain.

  • They could also pay for good pictures to be released to the public domain themselves.

    But if someone wants to spend their time to do this uncompensated, they aren't doing any harm.

  • LOL I should have reread that one.

  • The data is not centralized, but everyone is using the same aggravation aggregation service (indexer) to access the data.

  • No. All of your direct interactions are with your instance which federates with others.

  • Don't trust him based on his prior comments

  • I'm not a fan of Kagi's founder, so I generally don't use it.

  • I think this is a great illustration of my point. I like the culture beehaw.org has established more than what lemmy.blahaj.zone has encouraged. And I don't particularly care about "the fediverse". I care about the online communities I engage with.

    Everyone is different and I make my recommendation based on what I think the person I'm making recommendations to would like most.

  • I generally don't. I don't find it to be a useful grouping to reference or discuss.

    Try piefed.social
    Try Discuss.online
    Try beehaw.org
    Try programming.dev
    I'm always referring to one, never the group.

  • Of what benefit is this for a bank? Why would they choose to offer it?

  • Post on the one with the most recent post.

  • They dictate the operations of their suppliers. They force large expansions in capital investment and then decide that they don't want to renew the supplier relationship before the financing for the capital investments can be paid back. The only way suppliers can hope avoid this is to do what Walmart wants or constantly change their products in often superficial ways with branding agreements for IP of entertainment companies.

  • All of those laws include a provision that the employer must pay at least the minimum wage of a non-tipped worker in any pay period where the tips received don't account for the difference between the tipped minimum wage and the non-tipped minimum wage. Thus, everyone is receiving at least the non-tipped minimum wage unless the employer is breaking the law.

    A Step Towards Full Bluesky Federation? | Self Host a Bluesky Atproto Network

    This is the first time I'm seeing a way to host a full Bluesky network, I think. It seems like a big step towards full federation beyond appviews and personal data servers.

    Uncovering How Streaming Is Changing the Sound of Pop | By Marc Hogan | September 25, 2017

    Marc Hogan writes:

    Hit-making songwriters and producers reveal the ways they are tailoring tracks to fit a musical landscape dominated by streaming.

    Throughout the history of recorded music, formats have helped shape what we hear. Our ideas about how long a single should be date back to what could fit on a 45 RPM 7" vinyl record. AM radio meant mono recordings, rather than stereo, and producer Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound—with its cavernous echo and massed instruments—was built for it, offering plenty of depth through a single speaker. Video killed the radio star. Ringtones birthed the quick-hit digital chirps of snap music. The requirements for American Top 40 FM radio, in particular, grew so byzantine by the early 2010s, when blaring, mathematically precise hits reigned supreme, that an industrial-strength supply chain of super-producers and songwriters emerged to fulfill them.

    And now, streaming’s promise for listeners is also a gauntlet thrown down f

    terikanefield.com Beware the Lawyers (follow-up) - Teri Kanefield

    Last week I summarized Peter Arenella’s 1998 piece, The Perils of Legal Punditry. Among other things, Arenella argues that much of legal punditry is “Hot air that passes for legal commentary.” If you missed it, start here. I suggested that people don’t need lawyers to decode the news. I turned off m...
