Maher completely lost focus after T**** was kicked out of the White House. Last I checked, he was obsessed with GOP culture war nonsense (woke, gen z, etc). Spends valuable time on show whining about personal problems (like his mansion's solar panels). Increasingly out of touch, or unable to care about important issues. Needs to be liked more than ever (esp. certain celebs, see Musk interview). Extremely sensitive about his age. He'll be off HBO soon, unless daddy CEO loves him.

His crusade just cost Alabama a nice new military HQ. Genius. Congrats Colorado.

And that is literally his legal argument as well. "Your honor, I'm a fucking clown! Exclusively nonsense! No reasonable person could possibly believe I'm an honest source of information! Defamation suit won!?" (No.)

It's almost as if she was conveniently placed at her exact position without actually being qualified.

I wanted to stay with World. But they are literally constantly having severe problems (errors, voting, comments). Gave them many chances. I'm sorry World, but I probably would abandon Lemmy if I had to stay, it's just not an enjoyable experience.

Maybe it's not even possible to keep a large (targeted) instance working with current limitations and tools? Hope they figure it out. I'm rooming with Stux at Geddit, he's cool. So many cats...

That's way too complicated for them to understand. I'm not joking. We should all be very afraid of their weaponized stupidity. Idiocracy is here.

Same boat. I remember being a big fan of Digg (and Kevin Rose), and looking down upon "new" copycat... Reddit. Then they completely changed (removed voting?) almost overnight, and so I gave Reddit a chance. Loved it (and later Sync) and used almost daily! Until... well, fuck Steve Huffman, we all know what happened. Hello Lemmy.

I have not deleted account or comments yet, but logged out everywhere, try to never visit, and will never use the (ad-infested) app. Lemmy community (and Liftoff) has been great, just needs to keep growing with good people.

Sounds like the story of how Tesla almost died. Basically they were determined to implement maximum tech and automation, but it actually caused serious problems and bottlenecks with mass production. It was solved by ditching some systems and adding more humans.

I'm pretty sure this info came from M***, though. Taking credit for the epiphany, as the savior with the genius idea before the company was bankrupted.

I'm a huge fan. Have had surprisingly fantastic results with JXL (smaller size, same quality). Lossless option is huge bonus. Encoding tools are ready to go and work as expected (unlike AVIF, etc). I recommend XnView (there's a portable version) to check it out, convert, test, play. The format just needs recognition and adoption at this point.
