Ok, poor boy.
Ok, poor boy.
Don’t worry, you didn’t need it.
Lemmy losers click downvote the millisecond anyone says something positive about anything non-FOSS, or a bigger corporation. You already clicked that button, just like you’ve already downvoted this one.
If they use all that stuff to shoot the video, it means they already made it or they spent money they shouldn’t have.
Pretty clear you’ve never owned a business. You have to invest money to start it.
Not really going to get into it with you, because you clearly have your mind made up, but you pretty much nailed why at the end.
I have a vivid memory of YouTube being a platform where normal people could share videos of their kids and pets or other fun random low quality but entertaining things
People spend a lot of time and money making videos these days. They aren’t just random low quality things. They have teams of sometimes hundreds, use cameras worth half a million dollars, and may take a week or month to record said video while paying those hundreds of employees.
Again, not going to change your mind, Lemmy is very open about not giving a shit about others when it comes to money, but it’s not 2006 anymore, and people need to make their money back AND pay their employees.
Personally I’m fine watching a few ads to support the content I clearly want to watch. Seems weird you’d be interested enough in what someone has to show you, but refuse to help them in any way, but whatever.
Remember guys, don’t forget to hit the downvote button if you haven’t already. How dare I say anything positive that isn’t just “fuck ads, fuck YouTube, fuck everyone!”
By comparison Lemmy has 30,000 active users and steadily dropping.
It’s actually pretty funny how much of an echo chamber Lemmy can be. All I see is positive comments about how Lemmy is so great and growing, and Twitter is dead! Meanwhile it’s the opposite. Twitter is still very much alive, and Lemmy is becoming a small cul-de-sac echo chamber.
My Lemmy app lets me tag people, which I use to tag people who are rude to others, nice to me, helpful, racist, etc, just so I can remember who was nice and who wasn’t nice to interact with, and I literally see the same handful of people in every thread, and the front page of “everything” is filled with the same people making every thread.
Same with Reddit. We all thought Reddit was dead, and, well… it isn’t. Some days I really regret getting IP banned for shilling out Lemmy. Plenty of communities I really miss from Reddit that just simply won’t work on Lemmy, because of how Lemmy is so FOSS centric.
Because while the concept isn’t too difficult to understand once it’s explained to you, it’s not easy as going to “Mastodon and signing up”.
The different servers, having to remember other people’s instances along with their username (for example, you can’t just say “omg check out Jack Froth on Mastodon! He’s so funny!”, because where? What instance? Who is it?
Not to mention Mastodon, much like Lemmy, dropped the ball hard when it came to onboarding during the peak interest. When you downloaded the app, you had to manually type in your instance, username, and password, which you had to go to an instance in your web browser to sign up for first.
Now Mastodon gives you the option to sign up like a regular app and it’ll pick a default server for you. Way more friendly, but no one cares, because they already have the bad confusing taste in their mouth.
Then comes the community. Twitter is extremely toxic, but somehow Lemmy and Mastodon are worse. I know a few people I follow have recently discussed wanting to leave Mastodon because the Mastodon community attacks them, saying they don’t want them there, because they have a successful YouTube channel. The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users, and FOSS users can be really… particular.
I’ve been attacked on both Lemmy and Mastodon because I made some pro-windows comments. It’s pretty exhausting. The hard pill to swallow is that the fediverse isn’t accepting and isn’t kind towards “normal” people.
Pretty much every messenger I know is different. That one straight up looks like WhatsApp, down to the colour scheme and background.
Is that because they just aren’t making them because no one can afford them?
I just paid $18,000 for an 8 year old base model Jeep Patriot with 210K.
Car market is fucked.
The UI is just a WhatsApp rip lol
I assumed such from the title. It could be worded better, but it’s pretty obvious what was happening.
H.265 on my phone is not 50% the size. Maybe ~25% less at maximum.
I.too.prefer.dots.over.spaces.
It’s not about that. It’s about moving people over.
You know why RCS is picking up steam? Because it’s 1 app. If the person you’re talking to has RCS, you’ll send messages via RCS. If they don’t, it’ll fall back to SMS. If RCS was a separate app from SMS, adoption would be really low.
Older people especially don’t want to juggle 2 apps. If you get your dad on signal, and then his friend who uses SMS messages him, he’ll be back in his SMS app and won’t go back to signal, meaning the next time he messages you, or anyone else that has signal, he’ll instead just send an SMS since he’s already in the SMS app.
Removing SMS fallback was a surefire way to kill adoption of signal.
I’d rather they have my messages vs WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram, etc. all having individual access to my photos, location, all of my phone sensor data, etc.
Like I said, many apps refuse to work properly if you deny them permissions, but Beeper doesn’t.
I prefer Beeper because I don’t need multiple other chat apps installed and grabbing my data.
Yes, you have to trust Beeper.
I personally found it when I was forced to use WhatsApp with my landlord, and refuse to install any meta apps on my phone. I’ve since linked Telegram and Discord.
Not to mention many of those apps require permissions to work, but I can easily deny them on Beeper and Beeper doesn’t care.
Windows put a watermark on your desktop and locks you out of personalization if you don’t pay.
Watermark can be disabled with a simple registry editor change. Or the entirety of windows can just be activated with a single command prompt command.
Even if you’re not into pirating, you can use windows without a key without issues. They honestly don’t care.
Same. That would help a lot.
Same, but I switched back today. DaVinci Resolve doesn’t support AAC audio on Linux, even on the paid version (literally everything uses AAC audio). The closest thing to any kind of usable photo editor is photopea, and that’s web only.
Linux is just unusable for media creation, unfortunately.
Ya, then just install the N version. It’s not some weird region locked thing. If you tell Microsoft you don’t have a product key, you’ll get a list of windows versions you can install, and you just select the N version.
No thanks, I don’t send money to losers on the internet. Go beg somewhere else.
