Did they fix the whole Unheard Edition issue or nah?

My guess is it’s the tone/wording that implies that OP doesn’t think it’s great.

I agree that it’s a legit question, though.

So cool of ConcernedApe to collab with smaller, independent creators in the cozy space!

Pass the joint and lemme lemmy have a look at it.

So we’re either Team comfort+able or Team comfor+table?

The BBD year is 2026 and you’ve already opened the can. Man, if we were roommates and you’d called me downstairs for this…

The report doesn’t clearly establish a link between paywalls and a drop in site visits (which I would have liked to see).

One of the un-paywalled sites lost traffic mostly due to changes in the Google algorithm.

Overall, it just seems like a regular update of the website traffic rankings, juiced up by a clickbait headline.

Since April 2022, Kickstarter employees have worked under a four-day, 32-hour workweek… During this time, Kickstarter experienced the most successful period in its 16-year history, hosting some of the biggest, most groundbreaking projects ever launched on the platform.

…

As we entered contract negotiations with management, we asked them to make the four-day, 32-hour workweek permanent—not as a pilot or a promise, but as policy. We also included flexible provisions that would allow management to temporarily return to a five-day work week in the event of true business need, ensuring creators and backers are fully supported throughout the week. They have refused and are determined to retain the ability to make us work 25% more hours for no additional compensation. In other words, they want the option to make us work more for free.

White House official Lindsey Halligan: “While slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation’s history, you can’t really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress … we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress.”

So how does this tie into what’s happening now? Part of Vought and Project 2025’s plans are to remove Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA). This law currently protects platform holders, providing immunity for any content uploaded to said platform that third-party users created.

By removing Section 230, platform holders, like Steam, would be liable for any “illegal” content uploaded to the platform, as opposed to those creating and uploading said content. If Steam were found guilty of hosting this content, the company could be hit with huge fines. Therefore, Steam, Itch, and many other platforms would likely place a blanket ban on any adult content, mitigating any risk of fines or other legal action. This, as pointed out on Reddit, would affect all forms of user-generated content, including fan art, mods, and videos, not just games themselves.

Seems like a deceptive headline.

The real takeaway is: Project 2025 guy also wants to do the platform-level censorship thing, but by removing legal protections (Section 230) instead of using payment processors.

It works okay for audiobooks, but if you want it to save your place and track chapters, audiobookshelf is better.

This could unironically be an okay prompt, depending on what kind of users you want to gatekeep.

The bots will hallucinate statistics and travel brochure copy.

The real ones will say nothing beats a jet2 holiday.

I came to Lemmy to avoid clickbait marketing.

There. Saved you a click.

The FDA said it is working with distributors and retailers that received the shrimp from BMS Foods “to recommend that firms conduct a recall,” according to the press release.

If the FDA is confident enough to warn us about it, why aren’t they forcing a recall?

We are now facing a time where democracy is in critical condition, but a dragnet of surveillance and suppression has already closed around young activists, an entire movement has been intimidated into silence, and the social media networks appear to be pandering to the federal government. To adopt the logic of information-nationalism is to commit to a course of action that is at odds with democracy. Now, the things that we need the most in this moment are things we have already given away.

We have always been at war with TikTok. We have never been at war with TikTok. And if we are lucky, one day, we can all look back and be able to tell the truth about ourselves — how we imprisoned our children, dismantled our universities, and tried to ban a scrolling video app, all because we could not admit that we were wrong about Palestine.

This article reads like a college term paper.

It feels like they value clever wordsmithing over making a clear point.

Edit: accidentally a word

Can confirm. Snorted sugar exactly once.

Across the country, rush is typically a 10-day event where “prospective new members” try out sororities through rounds of activities prescribing a strict slate of outfits and etiquette. In the lead-up, girls often submit “social resumes” and letters of recommendation from sorority alums.

Participation often requires an eye-opening price tag.

After spending sometimes tens of thousands of dollars on outfits, makeup and plane tickets, each of this week’s 2,600 recruits paid $550 to participate. It’s non-refundable if they don’t get picked. If accepted, they’ll pay an average $8,400 a semester to live in the sorority house, or $4,100 if they live elsewhere, according to the Alabama Panhellenic Association.
