The 60hz screen is ridiculous. They need to make the phone WAY cheaper and acknowledge it’s mid-tier. But Apple want it both ways - a premium brand charging premium prices and then shovelling bottom-end specs to funnel you to the even-more-expensive models.
I hate the stupidly low base storage, but personally am not impacted due to my usage patterns and having cheap cloud storage so I’m not as passionate with my disdain!
*free speech if Elon agrees with you
It’s such bullshit, Reddit could have been so much more. Researching my latest purchase/obsession, and the only way to find anything that isn’t corporate sponsored reviews or AI content farming is to add the word “Reddit” to the end of the search.
As someone with an 11 year old account that I deleted during the TPA debacle, I fully recognise that there’s a huge problem here. Reddit created a place where people wanted to put their thoughts, ideas, and opinions, and now that they are cashing out TOO FUCKING BAD LAME EBD USER.
Edit: /oblig fuck you spez. Slimy little arsehole sold everyone out and thinks he deserves to be rich because his shitty site isn’t absolutely irredeemable.
Using the terms “telemetry” and “spyware” interchangeably makes the former seem more nefarious and the latter less nefarious. I understand where you’re coming from but I wouldn’t want to see the term “spyware” diluted to include anonymised data about how users are using product features.
That’s not to say telemetry data is fine or that a company might claim to only use telemetry data isn’t actually using spyware.
One of my favourite youtubers recently quite his job to go full time on his channel. He’s been growing his audience and patreon backers and for a long time using the income from those videos to invest in his equipment and the gear he reviews. Eventually he grew the channel enough to go full independent.
It’d be really hard to do that outside of YT’s monetisation model tbh. I think most YTbers start of making videos for shits and giggles and any money they get is like passive income. Then they catch a viral video of find and audience and start the consider the channel more seriously, and explore other monetisation models and opportunities. I get the hate towards Google and YT but a lot of the oddballs I love on YT might not have a platform otherwise.
Agree 100%
Relax, you just didn’t read my comment properly.
Only person who doesn’t have to pay his bills is Elon. God, he’s an objectively awful person.
Yeah it won’t die “soon” because it will be a zombie like Facebook for many many years to come. But retrospectively I think there’s a good chance we’ll remember the Elon takeover as the day it died.
I think the Lemmy community at large has been impacted by the actions of Reddit so it’s a fairly normal response that will fade over time.
Also, schadenfreude is a powerful drug!
It’s quirky, for sure. The easel feature isn’t at all integrated which I find odd.
Arc has been pretty good for me so far. But the challenge will be at what point they stop stuffing it with new ideas, and will that be before it turns into a bloated mess. Edge is a great example of this.
Twitter no longer has a media relations department. The company responded to a request for comment with a poop emoji.
Same. Can’t do much, but I think voting with our feet is the right thing to do.
Same. I think they’re dropping notifications for Mlem today, which I think closes out the basic app functions. I think after that Memmy and Mlem are neck-and-neck.
He’s saying “we don’t need to listen to the community, they’ll get over it”. Again, completely tone deaf.
People everywhere googling whether consuming bronzer + saturated fat leads to E. coli
