YouTube's next move might make it virtually impossible to block ads in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yeah you're right, YouTube just isn't what it used to be. I miss when people made videos for free because they wanted to share something with the world. Now it's a full time job

Evacuations with cars are a bottleneck in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Not live there. I'm not joking, if you live in Northern Canada the first thing you'll save up for is a car, or you'll know people who own a car.

The orcas gave us enough time bring down the bourgeoisie. Now they're taking things into their own flippers.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] dlpkl@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I'd be okay with this if they made those games cheaper. But no, I have to pay $94 CAD for a shit live service game that I don't even have the rights to and which the online service may be terminated at any time. Fuck EA and their monopoly on sports games.

We talking wilderness of Canada or population centers? Cuz there ain't no way I'd go into Canadian bush without a shotgun.

Doesn't mean they didn't market the game. That's the whole point of the post

That's not marketing at all. Marketing is anything that creates awareness for your product. Early access and what the person you responded to stated is exactly that.

Marketing is not necessarily aggressive. Product placement is the prime example of this.

That's cute coming from the game that was in early access for nearly 3 years.

Spammers are starting to use email addresses with "renewal" in the address, bypassing junk filters. How do we fight this without blocking legitimate renewal emails? (lemmy.world)

submitted 9 months ago by dlpkl@lemmy.world to c/technology@lemmy.ml

For several months now I've started to receive an unprecedented number of emails from addresses named some variation of "renewal@".

The issue is that creating an email filter which would move these emails to your junk folder would also inadvertently move legitimate subscription renewal emails to your junk folder as well. What are some steps that can be taken to deal with this issue? Which apps, clients, or email services deal with junk/spam the best?

Sync crashes when logging into secondary app, shows no posts (lemmy.world)

I've been having an issue since the release of the app where the app will crash if I log into a secondary account. If I repoen the app after the crash and it's logged into that secondary account, posts and comments will not load at all. Android will direct me to clear the cache but the issue still remains. If someone can tell me how to access the crash log I will be happy to update with that information. Thanks!

How do you view an instance's local feed or a specific community in that instance? (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to access some high seas sailing communities in lemmy.ml and sh.itjust.works and I was wondering why, when clicking on them from within the app, it'll take me to a browser page instead of opening up inside Sync.

is there any chance we can migrate our Sync for Reddit layout to Sync for Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

I put a ton of time into making Sync for Reddit look and behave exactly the way I liked it, and I don't even know how I'd replicate that when Sync for Lemmy comes out. I can understand why it would be difficult but it would be so awesome
