Stopped using them once my girlfriend and I found a hidden camera.
Sueing was much more stressful than just getting a regular hotel. Never again.

Could someone explain what I’m missing here? Seeing this for the first time and it just seems like random words.
We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!
Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.
Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.
My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.
My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That’s going to be fun…
Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn’t trade my iPad and Pencil combo.
I see what you mean, but there’s also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.
I don’t think it’s unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.
In no particular order:
Oh, and for fucks sake: Remove that shit stain that is the official app from the universe.
Sure, but why grace the dumpster fire with traffic, when you also can just copy the relevant parts here?
Boost was well worth the money and I’d happily pay again for the Lemmy port.
I think it’s important to not scare experienced and skilled developers away with all that brigading for free and open-source.
Developing good software is not easy and as long as Ruben offers a premium version without ads, that’s more than fair.
When Reddit is Fun turns into Reddit is fucked.
And the sad part is that it seems like 99 % of Reddit’s population don’t care the slightest about that and are happily enjoying the ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage Spez wants to shove down our throats.
Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it’s already a pleasure to use.
What you guys over the pond really should learn sometime soon is that free speech doesn’t mean that you can spew any random vile bullshit without repercussions.
In the Fediverse those repercussions are that your audience will be limited to the instance you chose, which honestly considering the content we are talking about is really mild.
Some of the stuff I’ve seen would definitely be illegal in Germany and Austria, and trust me, we have more experience with Nazis than we ever wanted. We have laws in place to at least try to prevent the resurgence of Nazis and this also affects servers like lemmy.world that are hosted at Hetzner in Germany I believe. Not defederating from these people could cause legal repercussions for the server owner and it’s just not worth it, considering the content we are talking about.
I’ve gotten to old and busy to give two shits about someone’s background as long as it’s not pushed in my face.
If I come across racist, homophobic, warmongering, outright Nazi or tankie stuff among many other things, I simply block the person/community and move on with my life.
Let’s not forget that Daddy Elon is his biggest hero and Reddit could become a shit show like Twitter.
Yeah, which is precisely why it’s important to ruin the product with random spam, racism, overly sexual comments, lorem ipsum and for good measure some fetish porn and gore images.
Wasn’t Microsoft training an AI from Twitter and it basically turned into the aforementioned garbage?
I doubt that companies would enjoy to train their models on a foul dataset filled with nonsense, hatred, porn and gore.
And if that happens Lemmy will be in a bad spot, because the network can’t handle a mass exodus from Reddit. Which in turn will lead to people coming back to Reddit announcing that the Fediverse is unstable and broken garbage.
That is an awful way to go about it. Have you verified your bank’s computer systems? What about the servers your health data is stored on? I hope you use an Android AOSP ROM with a public source code. Do you even trust your microwave to not send death rays because of a malicious programmer?
I don’t dislike it in general, I just think that FOSS is not a good fit for every project. A good and recent example: I work as a software engineer in a pretty niche market and my team and I have developed what we believe is a really neat algorithm for a pretty niche problem. There are already other players trying to replicate the solution, but thankfully they are falling short compared to our approach so far.
Suppose instead of keeping the library proprietary we would make it open-source (and free). Well, now every competitor in the market just needs to look at our GitHub, and months of R&D budget would be basically wasted while at the same time, our competitors would get our IP handed on a silver plate.
I’m pretty sure that Sync for Lemmy will have a pro version priced similarly to the Sync for Reddit pro version (~ $4.99 one-time). The dev would be stupid to release it as FOSS, if he intends to make money on premium features, when literally anyone with a computer and two brain cells could just compile the premium app from a public GitHub.
Now take good examples of FOSS: Blender, Gimp, Inkscape, and the likes. The main difference is that there is no obvious monetization happening besides donations and sponsorships and for such passion projects FOSS is absolutely the way to go as you can pool in the knowledge of the community if your project generates enough traction. Blender wouldn’t be what it is today without all the volunteer devs contributing to it.
I have a habit of using a flashlight to go to the toilet in hotels or unfamiliar places, so I don’t stub my toe or other stupid stuff when doing the nightly toilet sleep walk.
So I grab the flashlight, point it around and notice a glint from the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan didn’t have an IR remote so it didn’t make sense and yup, sure enough it was a little lens that conveniently pointed towards the bed.
Fun thing: We actually signed a waiver that the house uses cameras, since there were a view regular ones on the perimeter for security, which seemed logical. That asshole really tried to play the “but you signed that you’re okay with being filmed” card.
