Was trying to get a friend to switch to jellyfin the other day and it turns out he's got a weird Hisense projector that uses VIDAA OS, which does not have a jellyfin app, but DOES have a Plex app. I imagine setups like this are probably limiting Jellyfin's adoption. VIDAA is actually less niche than I thought as well, heaps of cheap-ish TVs and projectors are running it.

I don't think they would do that unless Lemmy continues to grow to a point where it challenges Reddit. Then it becomes a technical issue. I don't think they can do that. It was one thing for threads to do it, being designed with that in mind from day 1, but it's completely different for Reddit to do it. There are so many features that just wouldn't make the jump, and so much content that would need to be reworked.

If they were going to do it, it would most likely be a clean break where you just can't access old Reddit content on Lemmy, but all their new stuff would be accessible.

I also just don't see them giving away their content like that after cracking down on the API how they did.

Oh yeah we're 100% agreed on that. I'm thinking of the AI evangelicals who will argue tooth and nail that LLMs have "emergent properties" of intelligence, and that it's simply an issue of training data/compute power before we'll get some digital god being. Unfortunately these people exist, and they're depressingly common. They've definitely reduced in numbers since AI hype has died down though.

Views don't update in real time but likes do. Always happens with big videos like this. It's something to do with YouTube reconciling the view counts across multiple servers, which gets very difficult with large numbers. It's a bit easier for them to create a stable like count when each user can only like it once, so they're essentially adding that user to a list and then counting the length of the list.

Not guilty means there's some doubt, no matter how small. The jury could be 99% sure he did it and (by the book) he should be found not guilty. It's almost impossible to prove something like this, so stuff like this frequently gets not guilty verdicts regardless of whether they actually did it or not.

I've noticed some transphobia and homophobia recently too (usually from lemmy.world accounts 👀)

Wait, what does it mean?

Fuck sake. Of course they are.

I think the self DDoS theory is probably right, but I also think profitability might come into it. It wouldn't surprise me if Twitter aren't pulling enough high quality advertisers to make a profit on user minutes spent on the site. Would explain why twitter blue subs also copped the rate limit despite Musk's insistence that they can't be bots. At a certain amount of API calls per day even the Twitter blue subs stop being profitable.

I think you have to be signed in to see the NSFW stuff. Clicking the link above will take you to the instance site, logging you out. I think you need to search the instance url in Lemmy to go there from your instance?

because they look cool m8

I don't hate the electric ones as much, but they're still excessive imo.
