Exactly, I feel the mindset of ‘line must go up or you die’ is really ingrained in people’s minds. Even if everyone leaves for something else lemmy will still be here, slowly getting better with updates and time.
Doesn’t matter how many people use it. As long as even 1 person wants to use lemmy it will be here…
I can change china for the US in that sentence and it will still make sense
They can sue DeepSeek as much as we can sue openAI for scraping human generated content… this time though we got the model for ourselves, and not to squeeze profit
I recommend Okular for PDF reading. No ads, no upsells, no BS. It also has native dark mode
I guess these results count for something, however Madison’s allegations have been really consistent and more importantly, were quietly published months before without any drama.
Believing the big corporation with drastically more leverage on this situation would be stupid, so they aren’t 100% cleared for me. Something definitely happened with Madison, but likely for lack of records and evidence it wasn’t confirmed.
We’re not gonna ever know what really happened.
This is a common pattern in content creators. As they grow their goals shift into running a production machine that maximizes earnings, throwing away any values or standards they started with.
Just look at LTT/LMG. It’s not gonna get better, so you could watch someone else who still values things other than money.
The same Linus who can’t be arsed to spend $500 of various people’s time to properly test a product is now telling us what to do?
I’ve never given money to roku, and now I’ll never will
If the team is finding out that their job ends on the same day, it’s totally Google’s doing, and not the vendor company.
Google loves cheap, disposable workers, that why half of their workers are contractors.
Arctic for Lemmy (iOS) has just been released on the Appstore. If anyone’s looking for alternatives this could be worth checking out. The app is free, and made entirely in swift. Everything is so smooth.
I bought bean lifetime because all of the promises the dev told us, not because of the current state of the app.
Apple has a refund reason of “My purchase does not work as expected” which does kinda fit here. Thing is, the window to make the claim had expired, and I couldn’t convince them to check it.
I’m still mad Apple wouldn’t refund my bean lifetime sub. I would give that to Voyager, which is one of the few apps actively maintained anymore.
Not really, they have a docker compose file ready to go, and it works without issue.
The more stuff they do to shoot themselves in the foot, the sooner something else comes in to replace youtube
I dusted off an old laptop, put debian on it, put an SSD and now I have my own invidious instance, among other services…
No ads, no throttling, no bullshit. Google is very welcome to suck it. I’d gladly stop using youtube, but there’s no competition.
The worst thing is that there are many bootlickers out there. Worker rights are a joke and companies have infinite ways of fucking you over.
In this instance the HR snakes were caught with their pants down and looked like imbeciles.
But for example many people get placed on PiP with unrealistic goals, or harassed by management over petty mistakes. The only goal being saving the corporation some money by claiming low performance.
A lot of people out there need to get their head out of their asses if they think this is ok.
The fuck is the point then? you get to pay to have the privilege of paying more for a mobile game?
All the netflix games I see are just shitty mobile games, nothing of value will be lost.
I’ll never understand how Twitch became as big as a thing as it is.
You already answered that in your comment.
You want to watch videos, not livestreams. Of course a video will be better at being, you know, a video (nicely edited, in short format, etc). A livestream is different for many reasons, none of which interests you apparently.
Nothing wrong with that tbh. It’s just not for you.
This is a bigger issue to leave it to users imo. Like lemm.ee admin said a few months ago, threads is too fucking big.
Anything they push on the fediverse will be what users see in All. Plus, popular stuff on threads is determined through Facebook’s algorithm, and it will also determine the fediverse recommendations by consequence.
The above is solvable if you block them I guess, but by default it will completely ruin everything.
However, lemmy 0.19 block feature doesn’t work on users of an instance, only posts hosted in an instance. Add to this that Facebook is a cancerous company making all its money from ads. Expect their bots to comment and make posts pushing ads on all instances.
All of this will also mean high workload on mods to regulate the content. Threads doesn’t bring anything good here, and defederation is probably the only way to protect us.
I call BS on OP, just another ragebait made-up story.
Forced restarts haven’t been a thing for years, unless the OP somehow badly setup their machine.
