I’ve seen the vlc addon that can play torrents but doesn’t that kill them? You’re not seeding anything by just streaming and leaving when the movie is over. Idk, seems like a shitty thing to do

Remember that consumers expect certain things from smartphones nowadays, which will mean that OEMs can’t just go back to the old way of doing things. An IP68 rating would be very difficult to obtain while still offering a premium-feeling device with an easily replaceable battery, for example. These are hurdles OEMs will need to get over to be in compliance.

this is straight-up BS. there were many phones with ip68 and user-replacable batteries back when sealing the battery in a phone was frowned upon. not all but many.

still don’t want zucc to win, tho

Note that only works if the person argues in good faith. If they’re not, you’re just wasting your time.

The reason we lost Apollo and others is exactly what I meant by “corporate fuckery”. I respect that you see “anti-capitalist and FOSS-worshipping sentiments” off-putting, they’re definitely pervasive in the community, and I personally vibe with that. because it’s all cause-and-effect. What happened with Reddit isn’t one company being shitty to their userbase while seeking profit. It’s a pattern. That’s the system working correctly. The “anti-capitalist and FOSS-worshipping sentiments” are coming from people seeing that and taking a stance. Is reddit taking a stance against their users? Fine, we’re gonna make our own reddit with blackjack et cetera and so on.

I agree with your sentiment, however I don’t think Reddit is a sinking ship. It sucks, me and many other people are angry with them, some of us left but it’s not nearly enough to make them actually sink. Reddit is too recognizable a brand.
They’re too big to fail.

Oh… great… There’s one very lukewarm comment the admin made yesterday, but I x-posted the article to the local meta channel with hope they’ll make a clear stance on the situation.

People left reddit because of corporate f*ckery, and some of them are now making excuses for meta?? What kind of mental gymnastics is this?

Very good! I sincerely hope all the others will too. If lemm.ee won’t, I know where I’ll be moving to ;)
