Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who are your instant watch/listen/read media producers?
13·1 天前[Tina] Fey / [Robert] Carlock
They’re the team behind “30 Rock”, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and several others.
Also Jack Burditt who also worked on both of those and many other shows I’ve enjoyed such as “Just Shoot Me” and “Frasier”.
That gets PBS more exposure, sure, and that’s great because they put out quality content, but do they get paid for that? I’m genuinely curious here as I know little of how YT pays content creators. I’ve had a recurring monthly donation going for years now, and I just don’t yet understand if/how simply subscribing could replace even a portion of that.
How does that work? Does YT pay out to creators based on the subscriber count alone? I’ve only ever heard “like and subscribe to help fund this channel” mentioned when the videos are monetized (e.g ads or sponsors).
Or does PBS monetize their videos and uBlock just shields me from that?
Not that I don’t want this to be true since it’s an easy way to help fund them, but I am curious how (or if) this works.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If you use electricity from NPP to heat your house, water or to cook, you're using the heat of uranium at your home.
7·2 天前I’m about to have my house powered by fusion energy.
'Splained
I’m installing a PV system, and solar energy is just fusion power at a distance.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Hosting a matrix server with synapse, how do you handle registration?English
9·2 天前Mine’s only for people I know personally, so it’s backed by my LDAP server and registration is disabled in Synapse. I use my regular onboarding process to create the new LDAP user and grant access to Synapse.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you go about reaching North Sentinel Island undetected and integrating into their community?
16·2 天前In theory you might be able to pass yourself off as some kind of supernatural figure, but not without knowing anything about their belief system first.

2·3 天前Gonna add “Aaaaarrrggghhh” to my email signature at work. Either people think I died writing it or it’ll be there just in case I would happen to die while writing it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Where are the AI user communities on Lemmy?
2·3 天前Nice. I’ve pretty much just used LibreTranslate for that, but will check that out and see if it works any better.
I just want more games to let you quit to desktop from the game without having to first “Quit to main menu -> Are you sure? (yes!) -> Loading screen + main menu animation -> Quit to Desktop -> Are you sure? (Yes, i’m goddamned sure!)”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What misconception are you tired of being spread?
6·4 天前so it’s 30% not 20%
Fair. I was going by population numbers vs votes cast and didn’t have the voter turnout numbers handy when I originally wrote that out and was paraphrasing from that to save time.
But that’s still far from half, and I’m tired of people using the misconception/phrase to justify their xenophobic rhetoric.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What misconception are you tired of being spread?
66·5 天前“Half of Americans voted for this”
No, half the people who actually showed up to vote voted for the guy, but not necessarily all he is and has been doing. It’s actually only about 20-22% or less of the population that actually voted this guy into office and fewer than that are on board with current events. Far from “half of Americans”, so just stop it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Where are the AI user communities on Lemmy?
18·5 天前The only one I currently follow is !localllama@sh.itjust.works
I’m not anti-AI, but I am very much anti Big AI and also don’t personally care for AI-generated images (they just look…uncanny to me), so I don’t have much interest in anything beyond the tools I can run locally.
Searching “AI” has a lot of false positives, but searching “llama” has some results at https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=llama

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of these "What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?" replies have aged like milk, and which have aged like wine?
14·5 天前All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.
Milk
Any extreme intolerant politics, and group think
Milk
Unoriginal and boring “ask” threads
(Looks at this post I just made) :sigh: Milk lol
If you’re going to post political memes in a non-political meme community, at least spell things correctly.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you pronounce zebra in your country: zeebra or rhymes with Debra?
20·7 天前US: “Zeebra”
I would venture a guess that countries that say “Z” as “Zee” pronounce it “zeebra” where countries that say Z as in “Zed” pronounce it zebrah like “Debra”.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do most adults around social media think that you are allergic to wisdom until youre 18?
10·10 天前screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to
Emphases mine. So many parents just plop their kid down in front of a TV or tablet and use it like a babysitter. They don’t teach kids media literacy and just let “the algorithm” keep them entertained so they can have some peace and quiet. And that’s assuming the parents have the requisite media literacy to pass on - many don’t.

2·11 天前Nice! Those AllWinner boards are a little tricky to get going and have some quirks, but the price is great for the extra horsepower you get. Granted, I use the latest Armbian since the manufacturer’s images are all quite old.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there an active community in the Lemmy / PieFed-connected Fediverse devoted to Indie and Alt-pop?
13·11 天前Not sure about alt-pop specifically, but these are alternative/indie music communities:

















If I was going to fall off the wagon after 2 years, I hope to gods it would be with something better than Bud Light.
