He/Him They/Them
Working in IT for about 15 years. Been online in one way or another since the late 90’s.
I like games / anime but very picky with them.
Cats are the best people.
I live in canada so my solution for news now will be to spin up some self hosted app that will scrape all the content and create an RSS feed that doesn’t require me to go to their website. Obviously not everyone can do this but it’ll overall be hurting the news sites more than anything, they literally advocated for a law that might ruin them.
I still don’t really get this law. I’m not one to defend big tech companies but everyone’s spent the better part of the past 20 years doing everything they could do their websites to appear at the top of search results. Now they’re mad they appear and want to be paid for the privilege of being made discoverable on the web?
If it wasn’t for search results, sites like lemmy/reddit and my android phone’s news feed I would not go to any of these sites to begin with, ever.
I had forgotten that you could pay them.
A bad CEO/Company owner trickles down to everything under them in the company. They pass major decisions or budgets (or lack thereof) that work their way down to everything if not immediately then over time. Toilets not getting cleaned probably comes down to people either not getting paid or being fired to avoid having to pay them, resulting in either no custodial staff or insufficient staff. There’s no way to defend him about this.
There are places where people literally leave the window open or door unlocked so people looking to steal shit can take a look without breaking the window, see they have nothing to steal and move on.
This is a good way to get a lot of people to never pay for a video game ever again, after Steam did a pretty good job convincing people not to pirate.
That’s one way to kill the WWW.
Those features make sense for people who mostly use mobile, however the price increases make it a lot less appealing even then. At some point people will realize they are paying more to play a video in the background or without ads than for netflix/disney or whatever people like these days.
I’ve yet to be made aware of any benefits at all. None of what you get from premium is either interesting or relevant.
You mean that documentary “The Last of Us”?
I tried thinking of them and started laughing. Tried a second time to be sure and it happened again. Am I doing it right?
