I left lemmy a few weeks ago for this reason and I come back today to see what’s up and it’s exactly as you described. We aren’t the only ones either

I thought it was a goosebumps too and was upset it wasn’t so I decided to have a chat bot name one for me

Title: “Goosebumps: The Skeletons of Scream Park”

Chapter 1: Chills Down the Spine It was a dark and stormy night as Sam and Emma approached Scream Park, the creepiest amusement park in town. They had heard rumors about the park being haunted, but they were thrill-seekers, and the promise of the world’s scariest rollercoaster had lured them in. Little did they know that their lives were about to take a bone-chilling turn.

Chapter 2: Enter the Skeletons As they boarded the “Bone Rattler” rollercoaster, they felt an icy breeze that sent shivers down their spines. The rollercoaster roared to life, but there was something strange about the riders in the other cars – they were skeletons! Sam and Emma’s screams mixed with the rattling bones as they plummeted down the tracks.

Chapter 3: The Haunting Begins After the ride, Sam and Emma tried to escape the park, but it was impossible. Everywhere they turned, they encountered more skeletons, and they couldn’t find the exit. The park seemed to have a sinister, bone-chilling secret.

Chapter 4: Uncovering the Truth Desperate to uncover the truth, they discovered an old, dusty book in the park’s library. It told a story about an ancient curse that had turned the park’s visitors into skeletons who would never leave. Sam and Emma had to break the curse to escape the nightmare.

Chapter 5: The Race Against Time With time running out, they embarked on a treacherous journey through the park, facing terrifying challenges and solving riddles to gather the ingredients needed to break the curse. They realized the rollercoasters were the key, and they had to ride each one to find the cursed amulet that could free the trapped souls.

Chapter 6: Confronting the Curse In a climactic showdown, they found themselves face-to-face with the sinister skeleton that had cursed the park. They had to outsmart the curse and use the amulet’s power to restore the lost souls.

Chapter 7: Breaking the Spell With a final burst of courage, Sam and Emma shattered the amulet, releasing the spirits of the trapped visitors and ending the curse. The skeletons slowly transformed into grateful, living people.

Chapter 8: Escape from Scream Park As the first rays of dawn broke, Sam and Emma hurried out of the park. They were relieved to finally leave Scream Park behind, but they couldn’t forget the chilling adventure they’d had. The park was now closed for good.

Chapter 9: The Aftermath In the end, Sam and Emma realized that some thrills were better left unexplored. They left Scream Park with a newfound appreciation for the simpler joys in life.

Chapter 10: The Bone-Chilling Memory Though they had escaped the curse, the memory of the skeletons riding the rollercoasters haunted their dreams, reminding them of the spine-tingling adventure they’d faced at Scream Park.

The end… or is it?

The way ads are displayed effects how effective they are which in turn effects how valuable they are. More people turning to adblockers reduces the effectiveness of the ads and devalues the advertising method as a whole, more adblockers being used, lower effectiveness. YouTube then has to resort to putting in effort to combat adblockers which itself costs even more, ads have to become more intrusive to retain their value so YouTube can maintain it’s own servers and pay it’s content creators and it becomes an endless cycle of “fuck you I want your service for free and you are trampling my rights for trying to profit off me using your product”. In return all YouTube asks of you to obtain an ad-free video watching session for a month is $4 ($22/month split among 6 users)

What data privacy?

Seems more like an ESTO situation

Future isn’t ARM it’s Risc-V. Apple just learned this and they are attempting to adapt.

One of the important skills you learn as a science fiction fan is the ability to understand what fiction means.

I can’t tell, is this an angsty teenager take against YouTube Music.

That’s why Google announces the end of things unlike other companies who will just silently let them fall into obscurity. They don’t want to mislead people

It does on 11

Try installing fresh from USB. Typically works for me on any machine that says it couldn’t install on

YouTube music is great, give it a go

I’m lost in Google’s sauce and it’s great

Not the guy you are asking but I think I could give some insight. I don’t think it’s going to “fail” in every regard but it’s going to decline significantly and become an echo chamber for the extremeist types that are driving everyone away. After all the more reasonable and normal active types have left the extremists will likely turn on each other over very minute details that don’t exactly correlate to their specific world view and it will likely turn into an all out brawl.

That being said Reddit is very likely to pull more stupid anti-user bullshit and send a few more waves of users to Lemmy and spike the numbers some more at which point hopefully has all their mod tools figured out and communities get solved to actually allow for niches to be usable.

The success of Lemmy lies entirely on a perfect timing of Reddit fucking up again before the infighting becomes too bad and people returning to Reddit warn people away from going to lemmy

MacOS is a literal dumpster fire. The vast majority of their haters just got an immediate obsolete call. and Windows 11 has been absolutely amazing. I can’t tell if you are being satirical

FOMO circlejerk

Lol what would I have made up? That makes no sense
