Nevermind that you can compile them from source, and presumably verify the checksum of the developer provided flatpack if you do it just so. Am I missing something about flatpacks, or even snaps, or is OP?

That bottom text, yeah, and a lot of posts will have the entire content or a thorough summary embedded there, or archive.org/12ft.io versions of the link. On my instance, its collapsed behind a plus sign right after the title, like a comment, but above all the stats and action buttons.

Such a weird thing for a Lemmy client(or instance?) to neglect to impliment:

Killer feature, IMHO. You're missing out on the full Lemmy experience.

Gotta tap on the plus sign next to their exclamation point ... If your client doesn't show that, then yes: absolutely, You're missing out on the full Lemmy experience. Killer feature IMHO.

I think your mistake was assuming users woudd read the subtitle you had put in a space Lemmy users are used to seeing dedicated to much more detailed summaries of, or even the entire, content. Even if subtitles are closer to the intended use of that space and you did provide plenty of context with the subtitle.

Try expecting less of people. I assure you it will save you a world of pain and a lot of yelling at clouds.

Would you mind linking communities like so in the future please?

Tin Snips and/or a nibbler. The tool, not the Futurama character. Also, for what one or two taps and dies will run you, one might as well buy them in sets

!cheapgames@lemm.ee maybe? Also !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
!patientgamers@lemmy.ml
!patientgamers@lemmy.world
...
Oooo, and this one:
!pure_mobile_gaming@lemmy.world

Thanks for asking this. r/frugalgamers and r/patientgamers were two I don't think I had found anything like an equal for previously. Stopped searching to replace everything I had followed over there back in August...

Yes, we apparently WILL use anything as a unit of measurement if it means avoiding the metric system. Letting DJT create "Space Force" was such a goddamn mistake, but I guess they had to distract him from the nuclear football somehow that week...

The basic social contract of the web was to keep things accessible, including to bots. No one has the storage capacity to rip the entire web like all these jokers are pretending - even google merely indexes it except for the most popular pages.

The thing ruining the social contract of the web is the profit motive of all these companies trying to convince people that they should be able to sell data that is otherwise publically accessible, for the purposes of allowing bots to look at it - they can't memorize it.

Of course ChatGPT and the other AI companies ARE partially to blame: it seems they've poisoned the pot by giving their AIs continual access to the training sets and/or even the broader internet on the backend without making this clear to users, allowing Journalists to claim that these AIs have somehow memorized Pettabytes of data into a few Gigabytes. That is an ABSURD, basically impossible, compression ratio for anyone with even the slightest comprehension with the topic.

No, your random article you tricked ChatGPT into spitting out is not worth memorizing, not even to the lie and hallucination prone AI chatbots we have available to prod for free or otherwise. Oh, you paid for it, and your complaint is that its spitting accurate information? YOU'RE PAYING FOR THEM TO HOST THE CHATBOT FOR YOU AND PROVIDE IT ACCESS TO INFORMATION IT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ON THE BACK-END.

By all means, sue the companies into paying for their data, and force them to divulge the data-sets they keep on-hand so that they can be charged for information in them, but stop pretending the AIs themselves contain copies of it, or that its impossible to make them pay ex-post-facto (as opposed to the ENTIRETY of the rest of our legal system and enforcement) ...

AND PEOPLE, stop letting all these companies trick you into thinking that this is a valid excuse to further lock-down the web, or that you must poison your fanart with methods that WILL be bypassed. Its just another potential expense and technical burden these companies want you to believe you must bear rather than sticking to the things you enjoy and/or that put food on your table.

I love you. Keep doing the gods own work.
