    This is the same response I got when I brought up this issue. Don’t like it, GTFO, seems to be your attitude for anything that is questioned.

    the bio on the sidebar makes a lot of sense, does not fill up top space, and still dont miss the information displayed. also the markdown and be much more useful on the sidebar for formatting....

    the bio on the sidebar makes a lot of sense, does not fill up top space, and still dont miss the information displayed. also the markdown and be much more useful on the sidebar for formatting. kinda how you can format the sidebar for a sub on reddit, but specific to the user.

    its totally optional so i dont see why to not keep this feature.

    I agree, this does no harm, you are not required to fill it out, but for me, I like the bio because I can include what tildes/topics i like to discuss.

  6. Comment on Apple’s plans for its new TV service: Sell other people’s TV services in ~tv

    This is kinda obvious solution, if you own an Apple TV for the last couple years you can see how they are pushing to have a central TV app that ties all the streaming services together already....

    This is kinda obvious solution, if you own an Apple TV for the last couple years you can see how they are pushing to have a central TV app that ties all the streaming services together already. They will just brand Apple TV into one easy to use interface so people are not having to search through multiple apps to watch something they like. I think there will be some tracking features for what you watch and might like as well, but thats speculation.

    Seems like a pretty natural progression considering "streaming" is the new "cable tv".

    I personally love the Apple TV interface, but I use it with Plex and Direct TV Now mostly. The apple tv remote is small and a little awkward to hold, but it is a wonderful interface. 4K remuxes over plex on ATV4K are pretty awesome, so I do not think I will be signing up to pay for another streaming service, but I might try it out for a month.

    Relavant quotes:

    In conclusion, may I say that Brazil and the United States stand side by side in their efforts to ensure liberties and respect to the traditional family lifestyles and respect to God, our creator, against the gender ideology and the politically correct attitudes and against fake news.”

    May I voice my admiration and recognition to president Donald Trump on this beautiful day where we seal the promising alliance between the two most promising and largest democracies in the Western hemisphere...

    I get the feeling discussion is not welcome if it comes to anything about how you guys run the site. Yeah I guess I should not have posted something being so new, since I have no perspective.

    Nope, we've been doing it for almost a year and it's been totally fine. You've been here for about a day, so I don't think you have much perspective [...]

    I read over that when I joined, and the edit seemed so casual to me, I figure it must happen often. This is more of a "curated news site" and we just have to "trust" the curators. It's not all bad, just seem like a ripe opportunity to censor or influence.

    I never once mentioned reddit. But thanks for putting words in my mouth instead of hearing my concern.

    To be clear, I recognize that this is a dangerous type of system to implement, with the distinct risk of creating "power users" that have far too much influence. [...] We don't want to end up incentivizing the wrong types of behavior by creating systems that, for example, give more influence to the most popular users instead of the highest quality ones.

    Is there a public log of all the activity by the "normal users with extra powers"? While I am able to see the log on the side of the current topic, I think it would be very relevant to see that users activity across the site publicly. I also disagree with the reason for the change in the title, while it may seem like a small change it only further sparked discourse about one word in the title and detracted from the actual discussion.

    Ironically, this title is fake news. I'm going to fix it to "Trump smirks nods as Brazil’s far right president says they are united against LGBTQ people".

    IMHO, it seems like someone is putting more feeling into the change of title than they should. I could understand if the change was because the title was completely wrong about who was involved or if it had serious misspellings or dates or places. But to make a changed based on your own feelings towards a news outlet seems silly, especially when you are talking about the difference between a "smirk" and a "nod". a very slighted change in an attempt to call an article fake news.
