I think they view it as ripping off the bandaid now before their IPO. They probably figured they would lose some single digit % of users that would recover over time, and now they will have full control over the experience with no 3rd party apps, which they will want in order to squeeze more money over time.
Just own it. Everyone is freaky about something. Let your freak flag fly.
I am going to skip LCD tvs altogether. Right now I am still using my first hd tv, a Plasma TV from 2008, and when I replace it, it will likely be with an OLED.
Thousand year door is so good. It would be great for more people to be able to play it easily.
Maybe they should focus on what their user base wants instead trying to be TikTok or whatever is hot this week.
I would rather have content posted by humans. Lemmy doesn’t need to be reddit anyway.
Brennan is incredible, and that is an entertaining cast. Going to have to watch this with my wife. Kind of surprised Heidi N Closet isn’t joining up. I know she did a one shot with critical role.
I do not have first hand knowledge, but I have heard that premium viewers are much more valuable to a channel than ad supported views. I also support channels I enjoy through Patreon as well. I would much rather pay and be a customer than do “free” services where my info is just the product for corporations.
I pay for a youtube premium family plan. Best money I spend monthly. I want to support the youtube creators that I watch, I don’t have to see ads (I block them anyway), and I get a music service included.
They will just have to create a fee to “cover the costs” of having to tell you what they are going to charge you.
And thats the reason why I chose another instance. I want to be able to downvote when people post terrible things. Who knows how long it will take for moderates to remove something, or if they will at all.
I bought a handful of adapters because I like my wired headphones. Its a shame I have to do that though.
Can’t mourn reddit too much, so much good stuff is already here, and if one instance tries shady things, then you can just hop on over to another one.
Pretty similar for me, but I never did Fark. Funnily enough after digg was sold and relaunched I started using the new digg pretty regularly. It isn’t old digg, but it does find and aggregate decent news and entertainment links.
Super Mario kart and the original doom. I can play either of those games at any point and always have fun. There are newer games in both of those series, and I do love them too, but if I want some comfort gaming it’s the originals for me.
I like plugging a second wireless mouse into a coworkers computer. The secret is to be subtle about it. Just turn the mouse on and jiggle it slightly. Do that randomly over a series of days. If they don’t notice you can always get more aggressive with it.
I tried playing the first one in VR, but that didn’t really work out for me. I ended up watching my wife play it. Interesting puzzle game.
I think many grey hairs suddenly sprouted on peoples’ heads after commenting on this thread.
Steal some of Nintendo’s branding and go with LemMiis
I am not logging back into Twitter. They already lost my trust.
