A publicly available free API.
Developers can create any/multiple methods to interact with Lemmy (ActivityPub). And if I disliked all the methods existing developers created, I can create my own.
It is my choice how I interact.
(And for me Voyager is perfect.)
I really enjoyed the inclusion of video game sounds in films based on video games. I don’t recall any of the 90s video game movies using them and I don’t know when the trend started, but it’s excellent.
As Mel states in the video, he found the money.
It doesn’t actually turn off shorts, just prevents (limits) infinite scrolling.
You’ll still be recommended shorts and if you accidentally click a short it will play.
Erik and his rocketships keep me sane

I enjoyed the original Hunger Games run, but it was a bit stretched by the end. The first prequel reboot was surprisingly good. I’m a bit unsure based on the trailer if this will work, but it’s got a great cast and I felt similarly about the last one, so I’ll probably watch this eventually.
What do you own that is dirty and what are your plans to make it clean?

This video is a follow up to the longest coaster, and if you’re thinking “I want to get off Mr Bones Wild Ride” then yes, that coaster is long but…
The whole Multiverse saga has been bungled.
This scene was great at setting the stakes, the most powerful thing from the last saga are now paperweights. That was a great scene. Loki knew how powerful these stones were, he used one of them,m but now they are nothing. If I recall correctly this was after he tried to use his own magic. So it was confirmation that whatever this realm was, it didn’t just work on him, it worked on the most powerful thing he could have imagined.
And then of course you look at the rest of that show. It set up a great villain. The only person who was actually in control of this crazy world Loki found himself in. He acts and behaves exactly as someone who knows everything would. He taunts, he has fun, and he ultimately gives Loki a reasonable choice. Chaos, which could unravel all of time, or order, which means some must sacrifice.
And a choice is made. By… Loki? Other Loki. Different Loki. The same Loki?
That was a hell of a setup.
And then Ant-Man kills Kang.
(And the Kang actor is arrested [and eventually convicted] for assault.)
The Multiverse saga was already having a tough time, but to lose your villain… That’s rough from a story perspective.
The other thing, going back to the Infinity Stones themselves is that you needed to nerf them somehow. We do get a Multiverse Infinity Stones story in What If…? with Ultron. So that story is also told.
No one is going to complain when the Infinity Stones don’t show up in Doomsday or Secret Wars. But if they do we can point to Loki to point out how they don’t always work in whatever magical thing we end up seeing, or point to how they already told the Multiverse stone story.
Yes, but the Infinity stones called dibs and the multiverse respects dibs.
Actually we saw in Loki season 1 the Infinity stones exist in each universe and as the multiverse is infinite, so are the Infinity stones.
They’re mostly used as paperweights.
So Cohn did mention comprehensive privacy laws and the ability to leave platforms. These are absolutely things that need to happen.
However as an individual there are still things you can do. Cohn mentions Bluesky because it has no algorithm (except the “Discovery” feed). Cohn also mentions (in the video) Mastodon. And the truth is you don’t need to switch fully, just don’t only slurp down the concentrated hate machine(s).
Look at Lemmy. Reddit decided to be pricks and a bunch of individuals jumped over here to create what I think is a pretty good community. That doesn’t mean the problem is solved. That doesn’t mean Reddit isn’t still a problem. That doesn’t mean Lemmy is perfect. But that is a win and something individuals can do.
Additionally, those are things you can do now. You don’t need to wait for some law to be passed to fix things. You can make the move now. (While still advocating for laws to fix things.)

I can still hear the sounds of the CO2 firing.
Feel free to ask me any thing, installing and maintaining soda equipment is my life.
What was the worst thing you ever saw? I’m guessing if you maintained them you occasionally were called I to fix things when something went wrong. So what went wrong?
I guess shout-out to !asoiaf@lemmy.world
And since TV/film discussion is like 75% of the reason I use any of these sites shout-out to,
*(I mod these, so Liz Lemon high five.)
Lemmy feels about the same, but Reddit seems much worse.
Now to be fair I don’t know if Reddit is actually worse, because when I browse Reddit now it’s while I’m logged out and via a browser (force old.reddit.com and OldLander extensions). So the site is A) harder to navigate than it used to be and B) my experience is less curated and I see more crap and C) because my experience is less curated I’ve lost access to many of the niche communities.
As an example if I want to read some discussion about the recent Game of Thrones prequel series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” I can find a small community here on Lemmy. Nice people, but too few of us.
So I go to Reddit. If I search I find r/AKOTSKTV which is fine, and I find r/GameOfThrones which is fine. But I have to know, as a previous Reddit user, that maybe r/ASOIAF is also a great choice. Or if I want some real shit r/freefolk is where the glory lives.
So for that universe I know where to go. But for a new series? For a new niche? For a new community? I don’t know shit. I’ve found some of the more niche communities by luck. That’s what I would have been subscribed to in the past. I would have been in the community and in the comments and discovery was natural.
But nowadays I just get the front page of Reddit, and the front page kinda sucks.
But Lemmy? Yeah it sucks sometimes too, but at least there is a community.

Even when set to 0 you’ll still see shorts, it just stops (or limits) the infinite scrolling.
