I needed less time on social media anyways so it works for me.
I think the rest of the world needs what you need as well. 😉
Ehh, who cares? It’s just more political nonsense anyways, and the less I see of that shit the better.

Netflix can’t implement three different changes to its business model and then cherry pick one of those changes as the reason for the increased revenue.
Bro it’s not a guessing game they release this information in thier quarterly financial statements…

Tackling account sharing between households has been another focus as it undermines our ability to invest to improve Netflix for our paying members and grow our business. In May, we expanded paid sharing to 100+ countries, which account for over 80% of our revenue.
The cancel reaction was low and while we’re still in the early stages of monetization, we’re seeing healthy conversion of borrower households into full paying Netflix memberships as well as the uptake of our extra member feature. We are revenue and paid membership positive vs. prior to the launch of paid sharing across every region in our latest launch

Cool, but that analogy doesn’t work with how companies are valued.
The only thing that matters to the stock market is growth. It doesn’t matter how you get there (most of the time), as long as you’re posting positive numbers and your outlook looks good.
Not me fam, the less I have to do, the better. Amazon shipments literally save me 2-3 hours a week from not having to go to the store.
Prime membership ftw!!!
But the thing is it actually did work, Netflix has seen a boost in revenue and the companies stock price.
A small house for 74,000? Lol, you’d need at least double that in the Northeast part of America.
in before, “but I need my enormous vehicle because once every 13 years I haul 3 2x4’s and am too dumb to use a roof rack or rent a truck for the day!”
I win!!!
My enormous eletric vehicle (plug-in Rav4) is powered from my home solar panel system, and I use it to transport my dogs to the park a couple of times a week.
I’m completely guilt free!!!😃
Firearms.
It was fairly inexpensive before the pandemic. But since it’s been a nightmare of price gouging.
It’s also one of those hobbies where buying one thing leads down a rabbit hole of spending.
I don’t feel like contributing for free to some portal run by a private company.
100%!!! The only thing I did differently was deleting all my usernames. I’m not contributing to all Reddit’s ad tracking, AI training, privacy invading nonsense.
I still go back to my favorite subs (r/gme_meltdown and r/buttcoin) to read only, but that’s it. Also there’s still tons of active BB boards (not on social media) for all my niche hobbies, soI really don’t have a reason to.
I’m not participating in that dumpster fire ever again. At best I’ll rip content from Reddit to post here on Lemmy.
Im fascinated by the fact that people are starting to be monogamous with thier porn stars they watch.
I might be the odd one out, but if I’m paying for porn I’m definitely getting the one that’s like Netflix with a whole bunch of different shit on it.
Lol, do you even need it? The headline speaks volumes.🤣
Almost 1 in 3 Brits between 18 and 34 years old have received unwanted contact from delivery drivers or other workers asking them out on dates or for sex, the UK’s data watchdog has warned.
The survey of over 2,000 British adults carried out for the Information Commissioner’s Office found that, in total, 17% of people have had their personal information used for a romantic or sexual proposition after handing it over to a business.
That figure rises to 33% in London, where such incidents are most common.
“People have the right to order a pizza, or give their email for a receipt, or have shopping delivered, without then being asked for sex or a date a little while later,” said Emily Keaney, a deputy commissioner at the ICO.
“Our research today shows a disturbingly high number of people, particularly young people, are falling prey to these text pests,” she added.
In June, a female Etihad Airways passenger told The Guardian how she felt unsafe after a worker contracted by the airline found her phone number in the company system then sent her unsolicited text messages.
“There may be, amongst some, an outdated notion that to use someone’s personal details given to you in a business context to ask them out is romantic or charming,” Keaney said. “Put quite simply, it is not – it is against the law.”
A growing number of firms, particularly in delivery, transport, or logistics, rely on gig economy or contract workers. These workers are not entitled to the same employment rights as full-time workers, the jobs can be precarious and badly paid, and turnover is often high. One consequence is that sensitive customer information, such as phone numbers and addresses, is accessible to casual workers.
The ICO did not explicitly name any companies, but pointed to “major businesses” operating in food and parcel delivery.
Its survey found that two-thirds of the UK public believe it isn’t morally right to use personal details given for business purposes for romantic or sexual propositions.
The regulator said it’s cracking down on such occurrences, asking victims to come forward, and reaching out to companies to remind them of their data protection responsibilities.
If a company is found not to be following data-protection laws, it can be fined up to £17.5 million ($22.1 million) or 4% of its global turnover
Ok I get now. I can definitely see both sides of the argument, and it’s not going to be easy to solve.
Copyright law needs to be updated to deal with all the new ways people and companies are using tech to access copyrighted material.
This saga won’t be over till Boomers are out political post on both sides. Boomer generation are known not to negotiate on any issue, even of it benefits them
