You asked a legitimate question, and I provided three sources describing the phenomenon.

Just because you haven’t experienced it personally (or met people who have) doesn’t mean it’s not real, either.

Plenty of people haven’t met a gay or trans person in their life, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist or that issues they face should be dismissed out of hand.

Dismissing the question doesn’t add to the conversation. If you don’t want to engage with the question, that’s fine. Don’t comment. Just downvote and move on.

I suddenly want to see a slav who tries to squat but fails. Like, do you get your citizenship revoked?

If pliers didn’t do the job, I would cut them at the base and sand them down to be smooth and flush with the wood.

I actually like that the right word is as basic as poser.

They’d like to have a special name, but they’re literally just a bog-standard poser.

Did they fix the whole Unheard Edition issue or nah?

My guess is it’s the tone/wording that implies that OP doesn’t think it’s great.

I agree that it’s a legit question, though.

So cool of ConcernedApe to collab with smaller, independent creators in the cozy space!

Pass the joint and lemme lemmy have a look at it.

So we’re either Team comfort+able or Team comfor+table?

The BBD year is 2026 and you’ve already opened the can. Man, if we were roommates and you’d called me downstairs for this…

The report doesn’t clearly establish a link between paywalls and a drop in site visits (which I would have liked to see).

One of the un-paywalled sites lost traffic mostly due to changes in the Google algorithm.

Overall, it just seems like a regular update of the website traffic rankings, juiced up by a clickbait headline.

Since April 2022, Kickstarter employees have worked under a four-day, 32-hour workweek… During this time, Kickstarter experienced the most successful period in its 16-year history, hosting some of the biggest, most groundbreaking projects ever launched on the platform.

…

As we entered contract negotiations with management, we asked them to make the four-day, 32-hour workweek permanent—not as a pilot or a promise, but as policy. We also included flexible provisions that would allow management to temporarily return to a five-day work week in the event of true business need, ensuring creators and backers are fully supported throughout the week. They have refused and are determined to retain the ability to make us work 25% more hours for no additional compensation. In other words, they want the option to make us work more for free.

So how does this tie into what’s happening now? Part of Vought and Project 2025’s plans are to remove Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA). This law currently protects platform holders, providing immunity for any content uploaded to said platform that third-party users created.

By removing Section 230, platform holders, like Steam, would be liable for any “illegal” content uploaded to the platform, as opposed to those creating and uploading said content. If Steam were found guilty of hosting this content, the company could be hit with huge fines. Therefore, Steam, Itch, and many other platforms would likely place a blanket ban on any adult content, mitigating any risk of fines or other legal action. This, as pointed out on Reddit, would affect all forms of user-generated content, including fan art, mods, and videos, not just games themselves.

Seems like a deceptive headline.

The real takeaway is: Project 2025 guy also wants to do the platform-level censorship thing, but by removing legal protections (Section 230) instead of using payment processors.

It works okay for audiobooks, but if you want it to save your place and track chapters, audiobookshelf is better.

This could unironically be an okay prompt, depending on what kind of users you want to gatekeep.

The bots will hallucinate statistics and travel brochure copy.

The real ones will say nothing beats a jet2 holiday.

I came to Lemmy to avoid clickbait marketing.

There. Saved you a click.

We are now facing a time where democracy is in critical condition, but a dragnet of surveillance and suppression has already closed around young activists, an entire movement has been intimidated into silence, and the social media networks appear to be pandering to the federal government. To adopt the logic of information-nationalism is to commit to a course of action that is at odds with democracy. Now, the things that we need the most in this moment are things we have already given away.

We have always been at war with TikTok. We have never been at war with TikTok. And if we are lucky, one day, we can all look back and be able to tell the truth about ourselves — how we imprisoned our children, dismantled our universities, and tried to ban a scrolling video app, all because we could not admit that we were wrong about Palestine.

This article reads like a college term paper.

It feels like they value clever wordsmithing over making a clear point.
