Don’t these companies know how to properly configure a database? This seemed like it was completely preventable.

Hah so true. Just another money grab to get us to sign up for subscriptions we don’t need.

Wouldn’t the .arpa TLD be the first? It existed before the Internet was even the Internet.

That thumbnail’s got some hand body horror going on.

The single byte version of a stringwoman.

My emergency services number recently changed, so instead I have to dial 0118 999 88199 9119 725… 3

I’m so glad he was finally able to delete that picture completely from the Internet.

What if it’s working, but isn’t in water so it isn’t going anywhere

They want to deport brown people. To them that’s worth the cost.

It’s all horseshoes and hand grenades.

Should’ve used a debit gift card with only enough money for that one month. That way if they charge again it’ll just get denied.

This is in contrast to it’s arch-nemesis agency, the Defamation League (DL). When those two organizations collide, it results in a catastrophic explosion like matter-antimatter.

Now there’s 8chan, but what about future ones? Does it grow linearly (12chan, 16chan) or geometrically (32chan, 64chan)?

Thanks added!

Threads is weird, maybe because I’m not used to the Twitter-like format. Posting is fast like Lemmy (not surprising since it shares the Fediverse infrastructure). Replies are harder to read since it’s one level nested. There’s no downvotes.

Anyone can choose to tag any post or comment as any topic, like Twitter but hashtags don’t appear to be needed. Images and gifs are well supported by default, but it doesn’t support alt-text for accessibility.

The default feed is heavily bot-laden worth thirst-traps and AI women. You need to find actual people and follow them for recommendations for other real people to start to show up in the default feed which is a bit annoying. You end up with a social circle like in Facebook but they are complete strangers unless you accept recommendations from any Instagram contacts you know in real life. You need to turn off linking between Threads and Instagram (on both applications) if you want to keep them separate, it’s opt-out.

Political discussions are toxic; this is unsurprising. Lots of MAGA trash, but not Nazi-laden like X (formerly Twitter). Arguments with them are unfruitful.

The meme game is incredibly weak compared to here (thanks PugJesus, The_Picard_Maneuver, cm0002, Stamets, LadyButterfly, Track_Shovel, etc.). Lemmy has an incredible amount of fantastic memes for it’s size.

There are of course ads but they aren’t as obnoxious as Facebook ads. No doubt Meta is data mining the hell out of your content.

Since there’s millions of people (if they aren’t conflating with Instagram users) it’s incredibly active. That part is nice but you also get the stupidity and ignorance from Facebook-like users; this is where curating your follows is important.

I really hope the pendulum swings the other way in the future and we become the most Woke society imaginable.

Still, investors are shaking off the report, bidding the stock up 5.6% in premarket

How the hell is it rising on this news. This stock is super manipulated.

My right-wing friend finds AOC hot so he might actually vote for her if she runs.

When your walk speed is too slow but your run speed is too fast.
