Yep. Switching to linux solves those issues too.

The article suggested it was a bug, not me. My use of it was only in reference to the article so it’s not a point I’m going to defend.

I agree. There’s also just no reason to give Meta the benefit of the doubt here. Bug or not they’ve done nothing to earn such a charitable response from anyone.

Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It’s extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.

The article in the reddit post you shared is misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he got roughly $792,000 in performance-based bonuses. The rest of that 193 million is options.

One fine day with a woof and a purr
A baby was born and it caused a little stir
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog
Just a feline canine little CatDog

CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!

Out on the road or back in town
All kinda critters putting CatDog down
Gotta rise above it gotta try to get along
Gotta walk together gotta sing this song

CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!

Hack the planet!

It’s always the same exact same lazy argument with corporate bootlickers.

“DoNt BuY iT!!!1!”

“CorPoRaTiOnS NeEd To MaKe MoNeY!!”

“YoU ArEnT EntTitLeD tO AnYThIng!!!”

“X,Y,Z IsNt A HuMaN RiGhT”

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because it’s a gradual death-march to pricing out the ad free tiers entirely. Right now we’re in the ‘illusion of choice’ phase. But ad free tiers will continue to become more and more expensive until one day corporations can turn around and justify removing them by blaming consumers. “We’re getting rid of our ad-free plans due to lack of consumer interest.” It won’t be a lack of interest. It’ll be a lack of affordability. And you can be damn sure once the ad-free plans are gone those ad based plans will end up priced at the rate for the old ad-free options. It’s corporate gaslighting and it’s happening right now.

Water… like from the toilet??

Well, no answer that these guys want to hear.

Spot on, this applies to so many other paranormal events too. Some people refuse to believe that their favorite “mysteries” were never really all that mysterious to begin with. Nor are they willing to accept explanations they view as being too mundane. At a certain point they’ve sunk so much time and become too emotionally invested in the legend to accept anything but the most wild and grand explanations.

Dyatlov Pass is a great example of this. The avalanche theory was always the most likely explanation but without question the least exotic. But it also applies to things like the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, the 1934 Loch Ness monster photo, the Amityville/DeFeo murders, and conspiracy theories surrounding damn near every modern political assassination since Lincoln.

HACK THE PLANET PRINTER INK CARTRIDGES!

Yeah, I own a lot of my favorites on dvd/bluray, particularly movies that for one reason or another have never been available on streaming. Unfortunately there’s an emerging trend of retailers removing DVD’s and Blu Ray media from their stores. So while physical media isn’t exactly hard to buy yet, unless something happens to reverse this trend it’s going to gradually become more difficult to buy physical media.

Yeah that’s an option but it’s not going to be a practical solution for everyone. Most people on Lemmy are more tech savvy than average so they’ll be fine but there are plenty of people who lack the knowledge and skill. And that sucks because people have shown repeatedly that they are more than willing to pay a reasonable rate for the content they want. But these greedy fucks decided they all needed their own service. So now content is fractured across a dozen different apps that are only getting more expensive and ad riddled.

It just plain sucks that your options are either piracy or being constantly fucked over to benefit shareholders.

…And the enshittification era of streaming services continues unabated.

Yes, cutting the CEO’s pay won’t prevent layoffs. Excellent work, detective. That was definitely the aim of my comment and not a simple matter of principle.
