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.
I tend to avoid using it at all. It usually ends up damaging your own party more than the enemy.
Oh, there it is! You'd think they would put it under security and privacy settings.
It's strategic. Let them slide this year to keep the promise and score some voter points, get relelected, then next year rebalance the tax brackets to be more equitable and fair.
Why bother with making any apps these days when you can just build a web app and have it work across platforms.
Unfortunately what you're looking for doesn't exist. We all have been down this journey. There was some hope a few years back with Purism reviving dreams of a linux phone, but they shit the bed and now there is no viable alternative outside the big two.
Hilarious. I thought njalla got shutdown a few months back. Looks like they are back up and running. Any story on what happened?
Still holds up as an example of raw early nu metal
Why only discords? It's a monitored, closed platform. Any other way to find shares?
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)
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.
