Welcome to lemmy. I hate big corporations but some of the people on this site will blame amazon when they stub their toe.

I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins!
They were probably just out and too busy to restock or something. It happens. Never been to a fast food place where they don’t provide napkins and I steal napkins from the taco bell I live near regularly. What a weird overreaction.
I really, really suspect that the big Lemmy instances are being run by Reddit admins or spooks or some-such. They’re moderating their instances in the exact same way Reddit did minus the profiteering. The censorship is the exact same.
It’s just the reality of online content moderation. The good mods/admins are people who are passionate about a topic and want to provide a space for discussion and community building. When it comes to the “power mods” or whatever, like those we saw on reddit who moderated 100+ subs, they’re just in it to stroke their own egos.
Yeah it’s honestly insane. Getting to the point where I think I’m just going to filter out the technology and politics communities despite being interested in the content and in some of the discussions. There are so many over the top toxic people on lemmy. In one of the youtube adblocking threads, there was a guy who said something along the lines of “honestly it’s worth it for me to have youtube premium” and he was downvoted and called a paid google employee. Like it’s so absurd. You can’t say anything that goes against the circlejerk without being dogpiled on. It’s behavior that’s far worse and more consistently worse than anything I’ve ever seen on reddit. It’s not the first time I’ve seen stuff like that. I remember all the backlash when sync came out. I like the app and the dev so I paid for it but all these FOSS bros were acting like the dev is the second coming of Hitler for daring to make money for his work. It’s exhausting. I hate ads and subscriptions but I need to live my life at some point and just begrudgingly accept them. I can’t spend all day seething about it like a lot of people on lemmy do. Again, it’s just kind of exhausting reading a lot of threads now. I thought I was going crazy but it’s nice to see that other people have similar observations.
Just tried and it said I needed a payment method from the country.
The vast majority of content uploaded is never going to make them any money. They get free content but hosting it is incredibly expensive.
Idk I never had issues with that. My recommendations are pretty good and relevant generally.
There’s still an enormous amount of great content on youtube. You don’t need to watch the commercial shit.
I used some dating apps on and off for about 4 years and got probably a couple dozen or so genuine not bot matches. Most of which didn’t last for more than a message or two. Even ran my profile by some of my women friends who I trust and they said it looked good. While obviously it works for some people, the experience for most people isn’t that great. These apps make their money by keeping people on the platform so getting matches goes against their main profit motive. The traditional methods work a lot better.
It seems like you could support backward compatibility
Good one lol. I’m sure apple will think about it haha
DACs in phones these days are totally fine these days. There really isn’t any need for an external one unless you need to drive higher impedance cans. Quality-wise, they’re totally fine.
No lol. It all gets converted to an analog signal to drive the headphones. There’s no difference in fidelity between 1/8" and USB-C. It’s literally the exact same signal.
Oof that’s a bummer.
As if anyone uses threads.
I was speaking more in the sense for general browsing. I’m not familiar with the admin tools for any of the apps.
Source? The sync dev said that google’s ad code isn’t ever initialized if you pay. Don’t see why it wouldn’t be the same with boost.
Literally no one on the face of the earth has ever said that. We’re actually talking about an app that has a paid option without ads.
Comparing a solo dev to large corporations isn’t really convincing me.
I don’t know about that. I’m a sync user and some of the foss options are very good by now. I use sync because of familiarity and I like the dev so don’t mind dropping some money to support him.
Dude. Have you been to taco bell? You can get a well over 2000 calorie meal for like $15
