Lemmy being used as a source now
Lemmy being used as a source now
From latest GameLinked episode (Linus Tech Tips gaming news channel)
I see this as a small victory for the Fediverse.
There’s definitely an LTT writer that’s active here.
During the last TalkLinked Jacob said he was on Lemmy :)

The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.
Year of the lemmy desktop
It's happening!
"Stay cool, stay cool!"
"Smile and wave boys, just smile and wave."
You have done well, Lemmy. Keep going, and become greater than the corporate-overlord media.
I'm convinced someone on LTT's team is on Lemmy. Two weeks ago one of their quickbits had a title "u/spez endorses lemmy".
You left your SI in the link
What is an si (I presume session id)?
And where do look, if there is a standard for these thingies?
I understand that these are query strings, but who decides which keys are there and what they mean? And if they depend completely on the server's implementation, then how do you know what the "si" key means, except from experience?
Thanks in advance.
We did it Lemmy
I wish reddit a very merry "Going the way of Myspace and Ebaumsworld"
Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful
Well, they are definitely something that is awful.
@Vittelius@feddit.org dude you're famous now
Also: this is the way.
put me in the screenshot!
and me!
You know how people will repost screenshots of tweets or whatever? The other day I saw a screenshot of a Mastodon post on Instagram.
Link to segment. And, no, not only didn't Liechtenstein not cross the threshold they're not even in the EU they can't vote.
Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We're movin'!
I'm worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.
It’s like we need a DOI system for lemmy posts.
When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).
That's unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It's all links and links to each other. Check out https://archive.is and https://archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something

Fuck yeah, the most wholesome gaming community, no less.
Mama we made it
Well done, that's so awesome to see.
true
I already don't own an xbox and am happy about it. Checkmate, MS.
Why does it have to be LMG of all places to use lemmy. Linus is not the cool tech guy anymore, he's just another corpa boss who prefers profits over people and accuracy.
LMG has a long history of overworking its workers, plus reports of sexual harassment and bullying...
He belongs with spez and all other profit shitheads the fediverse is supposed to be free of.
My favorite linus quote (when asked why he didn't properly test a product for a video):
I don't know if I can apologize for not spending another $500 of various people's time.
Didn't he step down as boss after the latest kerfuffle because he just doesn't make for a good boss.
Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it.
Gamers NexusThe people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn't say "oh well", and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren't happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like "corpa boss" to me. Now I can't tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.
did LTT ever actually fix that issue where they stole somebody's prototype after trashing it in a review where they tested it on the wrong thing? I had a weird vibe about Linus before that, and just wrote him off after
I think they addressed it, but idk much about it.
Somebody wanna fill me in on the don't kill games thing? I've heard it mentioned 3 times now over the course of a week or two so I figure maybe it's something noteworthy.
It's an initiative to stop game companies (EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard etc) from being able to decide if you can play a video game that you've bought. The example used is for the video game "The Crew" which was an online-only racing game. After the servers were shutdown by Ubisoft, the game that many people bought became unplayable.
What StopKillingGames wants, is that any company that publishes / develop games provide a way for people who own the game to continue playing it indefinitely. This would most likely come in the form of a game server that could be run by any owner of the game, and shouldn't be a requirement that publishers / developers run the servers forever as that would be unsustainable.
Ew, LTT. I feel dirty.
youtube and revanced :D (Talking about the yt ui)
Whoa! I was not expecting this at all. This is awesome.
Don't worry, we've probably already been the "source" in many generated chatgpt replies, after all, there's exactly a 0 chance this isn't also getting scraped on the regular.
Beehaw isn’t even Lemmy under the hood iirc but that’s nitpicking
