For context, here’s an article about another pump.fun streamer: Teen creates memecoin, dumps it, earns $50,000. Regretably, I don’t have any articles on-hand about the tens of thousands of people that are losing money to this scam.

The article says he is a pump.fun streamer. That’s not even real crypto. It’s literally a pump and dump website where anyone can make a new fake token by giving it a name and a picture. Then the price is set algorithmically until it gets enough people buying it that it converts into a real token. There are no fundamentals or differentiating factors between the tokens. It’s all a scam built upon the greater fool theory. At least different crypto currencies have different attributes and reasons to use them over others.

You wouldn’t want cold storage of any tokens on that site since they’ll be worthless the next day.

But, tbf, I don’t know if it was pump.fun slop that was stolen or a real crypto currency.

There is malware that can infect you simply by opening an office document. One of the cooler security trainings I’ve been through was a recorded demo of it. Opened a doc on one computer, enabled editing, then another computer was able to extract credentials from ram or something.

I hate this move and love my sideloaded apps. However, there are plenty of self hosted apps on the play store. It’s just putting in a unique address at setup, not compiling a whole unique app for each server.

Wtf are you talking about? People buy Tylenol all the time.

By “first-party” here, I mean sites that make the product they’re selling. Like I wouldn’t trust the reviews on Samsung’s website for a Samsung phone. Amazon is separate enough that the conflict of interest isn’t really there, but Amazon reviews are so targeted by illegitimate reviews that they’re not S-tier trustworthy.

I never trust reviews on first-party sites. However, reviews on other sites can be very helpful. Maybe not yelp lol.

Is leaving a review really free labor? I view it more as community building. Nobody has reviews shoved down their throat without asking, they are sought out and helpful for the consumer. And so sellers like reviews because consumers like reviews and it makes them more likely to patronize their business.

I enjoy leaving good reviews. Helps my fellow humans find quality things that I enjoyed and helps the business I like make more things I like. It’s a win win win situation. This is especially true for small business, many of which live or die on reviews.

And allowing Trump to win by not electing Harris benefited the victims of genocide how, exactly?

He certainly delivered on significant change!

Sorry, best we can do is Cuomo. - DNC, probably

The DNC would never allow her to win the nomination.

Don’t let Disney hear you

No, you’re wrong. Every wishlist is a guaranteed sale on launch day. When people see that number tick from 0.5937.5 to 1.0, they can’t help themselves. It doesn’t matter if they wishlisted it 10 years ago and forgot the game exists. The trick is, they have to see it on launch day in an automated email. Otherwise the sale is lost for good. Literally every true gamer knows this.

Very true, but that will fade as platforms mature

Other people have mentioned it, but I’ll mention it too because it’s such an awesome feature. Piefed idebtifies duplicate posts across the fediverse and presents a combined comment section for them. It’s amazing at tackling the duplicate content and endless cross-posts issue.

Piefed has some great features for discoverability, like feeds, but afaik every fedi reddit clone still suffers from the problem that someone from your instance has to subscribe to a remote community before it shows up at all. So if everyone just picks an instance and sticks with it, the federation never happens. It also promotes a more centralized fediverse because more populated instances will both be more likely to have a local community for a topic and to have at least one user subscribe to any given remote community.

As an individual, it’s difficult/impossible to keep up with everything or to discover new things because there is no true r/all equivalent. You’d need to browse multile instances or use external tools regularly to check on fediverse activity.

Now if only Sync for Lemmy would get updates 😭

Erm, achooillee, he tried to give debt relief to poor “people”, money personally taken by pet-eating illegal caravans from MY minimum wage paycheck that could have gone to my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s multi-billionare boss’s twelfth yacht fund before trickling down to ME. And he was SLEEPY.

They fired Kimmel to appease Trump and used Kirk as an excuse. And a piss poor excuse at that.

This was inevitable since Colbert was canceled, assassination or not. They were just waiting for an excuse and jumped at the chance. But, with an excuse like this, appologizing statements that were never made, they may as well have said Kimmel ran away to live on a farm. That might have actually been more believable.
