What’s mildy infuriating is your attempt to advertise your app here. I have ad blockers, but I kind of suspect this site has ads on it somewhere.

I see. If someone is yelling obscenities at you then its probably ok to yell at them too although I wouldn’t bother personally. I don’t think this poll can mean anything though as I imagine everyone has different understandings of what a “speaker” is and is doing.

What does it mean to “Shout down a speaker”? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?

How is this not illegal, but sending spam emails is? What a messed up world.

It can be an argument if you want, but it seems more like a discussion to me. I refute the idea that gifs are horrible and obsolete. You even give a use case in your post. If I have a 1 second looping image I’d much rather use a gif than a video format. So I believe they should work on Lemmy. The rest of the internet has no problem supporting this format.

Gifs are extremely efficient though. There is only downloading and no decoding necessary to play it back so it has no impact on your CPU. If you have a screen full of 1000 GIFs then your CPU won’t start melting. Try playing 1000 video files on your computer no matter how small they are.

However, there is no reason for a 50mb GIF to exist. If you actually have something that is longer than a few seconds you should not use GIF.

I dream of an ad free future.

Very cool. This looks like a neat feature. 🥳

I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. Lots of bandwagoning going on. It is what it is though. People are fallible and often just follow the herd instead of thinking.

I’ve been using an mp3 style walkman for awhile. There’s something about dedicated single purpose electronics that is so comfy. They also just work as the software is always barebones simple.

Profitting from free user generated content is uncool. 👍

She could have used that $12k as part of a down payment on her own place… what on earth is she thinking.

I think you are right with old listings and then maybe new people looking at old listings to make new listings without verifying.

Scalping I can understand completely, but this is a thing that is still made and available all over the place.

I block all communities that post news. I’ve never seen somewhere to enter text filters like this. Not sure I’d want to anyway.

This appears to be from 3 years ago and only funds to last 6 months. Has there been any additional funding since then?

Interesting news. Thank you for the clarification. Is there any announcement about this?

It’s nice how fast Lemmy is growing, but I think it is a good idea to manage expectations. In the world of free and open source software you can’t just throw money at the problem to make it better. The development of Lemmy will occur at will whenever someone feels like contributing. It’s not someones job to develop Lemmy so it isn’t guaranteed to happen at all.

Edit: Just for clarification I’m not suggesting to not donate. I’m just saying donating doesn’t guarantee development.

What is this device? I’m confused as to why it even exists.

Edit: I discovered it is literally called “Car Thing”.

They are inviting me to give them money? How generous of them. 😑
