„Tbh, I should have delayed the loops.video countdown timer by 1 more week.

That would have given me enough time to resolve the delays we are currently facing.

I apologize, and am working diligently to get @loops into your hands ASAP!

Your patience is greatly appreciated while I work on this.

The hype is real, soon y’all will make history by participating in the first fediverse platform dedicated to short looping videos, and the first mobile only fediverse platform 🚀“

Finally!

I would not use „Amerika“ if I would refer to the US. I usually mean the geographical combination of North and South America if I would use the term.

If I want to reference the US, I would use „die USA“, „die Vereinigten Staaten“ or in short just „die Staaten“.

Someone got cold feet, as it seems. I guess OpenSearch started to eat their lunch.

My guess: The reputation is already ruined and this change won’t make much of a difference.

Meh, that just killed my interest in the project. I was really looking forward to their first release. Now I don’t care anymore.

Yes, typo

The rule is pretty clear: Stay away from anything Altman touches if you want to keep a clear conscience.

Bye, bye Firefox!

SAP still seems to do it this way.

I would prefer to let Bluesky die silently instead of throwing a life line.

„has been killed“ would be the proper wording

If it would be ha-capable it would be perfect. (At least on paper. )

I really need to try this.

Fair enough!

The problem is: Once the CO2 is in the atmosphere, it’s there. It does damage. No money in the world will undo that, unless we build massive factories that extract CO2 from the atmosphere and make coal- or oil-like stuff that we put back in the earth. At the same moment your consumption blasts CO2 out in the atmosphere.

That does not exist. There is no system in place (except for some small but ludicrously expensive labs) that could do that.

Planting trees (or something similar) might help in a few decades, if the trees are still alive then and not being harvested. Until then the CO2 is in the atmosphere, doing its damage. Every day, every minute, every second.

Why? To ease your conscience by claiming that it is not as bad because you paid something extra? It’s the modern version of the selling of indulgences.

It’s worse than doing nothing because it gives the people the illusion that it’s not so bad - while in fact it is exactly as bad.

Can we fast forward to the moment when this actually happens, please?

As mentioned: It’s not the silver bullet solution but something that raises the bar for abuse. The reputational score is build up over time on the specific server based on the up- and downvotes you received.

So, yes, this can be abused itself as well - but it requires a lot more effort.

People may not like it but a reputation system could solve this. Yes, it’s not the ultimate weapon and can surely be abused itself.

But it could help to prevent something like this.

How could it work? Well, each server could retain a reputation score for each user it knows. Every up- or downvote is then modified by this value.

This will not solve the issue entirely, but will make it less easy to abuse.

They never manage to feel native. Keeping data reliably? - Not really possible. Stability? - Fully reliant on the browser. Native notifications, target for sharing stuff, etc.? - Never seen it. …

It always feels like a compromise.

Yes

What a loss! 😜
