A good retail one: don’t say “sorry for your wait.” Say “thank you for waiting” or “thank you for being so patient”.

Something to do with… it makes people feel good about themselves if they think they’ve done something for you, which in turn makes them more likely to keep being patient.

Does it turn on? If it can record videos, it’s a 3GS.

Maybe it’s ads. Maybe it’s subscription fees.

It’s subscription fees. They’ve already announced it. It’s literally on their blog, and they’ve talked about it in their Twitch (they didn’t do a VoD so here’s a link to a YouTube video) and Reddit Q&As.

“In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier.”

Maybe they just end up selling all your data off to their 1,000+ data broker partners.

I don’t really see how they could, seeing as pretty much everything (including Likes) is already public.

The thing that annoys me in subs of foreign-language things, is where a very simple or recognisable sentence gets turned into something else. Not in a “localisation” way, where extra context is needed. Just in a weird way.

Subtitle: Thanks, @meejle@lemmy.world, I really appreciate it.

Audio: Ja.
Subtitle: OK, I’ll see you there!

This seems a lot more common in “official” subs of anime, nordic noir, etc. Fan-subs seem a lot more accurate.
