Yeh. I’m right there with you.
Yeh. I’m right there with you.
Lol. Nice try. Don’t think that works around here.
A lawsuit waiting to happen… someone needs to class action MS for systemic breaches of privacy. Think of all the critical infrastructure, government, medical, policing, etc. systems processing sensitive, private, and in some cases classified, information.
Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose…
Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.
My theory is that it’s just the fact that there is always a new generation of people around the corner who haven’t learned the lesson of how capitalists work. Therefore, there is always a market vulnerable to being swindled. They can keep using the same tactics, there’s always a delay in people figuring out the grift, then by the time they do there’s a new group of suckers ready to fall for it.
It’s taken longer than I expected, but more and more people are realising streaming services as a model are not good, by any measure.
They cost more in the long run, you are made powerless as a consumer (perpetually increasing costs and removing your favourite content), and you can’t even get ‘everything at the convenience of your fingertips’ cause the market is fragmented and they remove things periodically. You own nothing and pay more. Absolutely stupid model that deserves to die.
If the system can’t protect itself from being overwhelmed by the cancer of corporate interests, then it’s never going to survive. New wave internet needs to learn from the downfalls of its predecessor. The design must have protections built in to prevent capitalists from capitalising, or else it will inevitably fall.
Why bother with making any apps these days when you can just build a web app and have it work across platforms.
Crosspost support is fantastic! It has been working well, thanks.
Are there any plans for an option to hide crossposts, or is that something that will come via future lemmy updates? (Eg detection and hiding of duplicate links shared across multiple communities)
Tell me about it, it’s way to cold for chrissy! 30 - 35 degree chrissy with some beach and bbq are the best.
“You can start a new post from anywhere” How so?
Seems easier to achieve the goal by giving an option to choose default, rather than arrange order.
Or option to let users pick?
Yeh good suggestion, I find text post makes the most sense in terms of default. But your right, current config does make people slow down a bit before posting
I presume whoever made this meme doesn’t understand that incognito mode doesn’t actually protect you from tracking? It just deletes the history on the devices basically.
Related to the recent reddit mobile site update that straight up breaks the website perhaps? (Cant scroll, can’t interact)
Walled-gardens are fundamentally bad for communication. Discord is not a solution, it’s a problem.
It’s a real shame. Monopolies in any industry/product inevitably lead to fucking over consumers… time we broke em up I think
There’s no better ad for piracy than the greed of corporations. Don’t let ads shit in your head. They disrespect you, you disrespect them.
