Damn Google be speed running how quickly they can make me replace all their services. Google Maps and Youtube are about the only 2 I still use.

I agree with almost everything you said. I’m not referring to services like Netflix as owning. More specifically the recent debacle with Sony removing access to PURCHASED content. I would happily buy my movies and TV shows on something like Google play movies or Apple TV. My issue is I can’t trust any of these corps not to pull the rug out from under me. Their track record says they will. It’s a question of when not if. We need a streaming equivalent of Spotify for TV and movies. Obviously it would be much more expensive than Spotify, but I would happily pay for the convenience of having anything I want as much as I want on one platform/interface. Streaming sucks right now where libraries are spread across platforms with varying interfaces, bitrate etc. shit just sucks lol

Mandatory reminder that if buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.

I wouldn’t really use that comparison. The discord update resembles the old one. But old reddit and new reddit are damn near unrecognizable to one another.

Oh absolutely! I wouldn’t trust them with anything mission critical but for little projects here and there they’re absolutely amazing.

I’d recommend racknerd. Their black Friday pricing is available year round and they have super good annual pricing on some of their VPS options https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/

Well apparently enough people still like it to downvote me lol

I second this. They’re trying so hard to be inoffensive it’s eroding the satirical stereotypes that every character is supposed to be. It’s a hollow shell of what it once was.

This right here. If you block ads you’re literally worth less than nothing to them and they couldn’t care less where you go. You’re just a bandwidth leech. I use uBlock, but have some self awareness.

I thought the man was joking then I saw his smooth brained response below. Software patents are cancer and shouldn’t exist.

I didn’t buy a pixel 4 because it was Google’s first attempt at face unlock. Decided to spice things up and get an iPhone for a change. FaceID is fanfuckingtadtic and I’m sad that my pixel 7 doesn’t have proper face unlock.

Imo: rear mounted fingerprint sensor > proper face unlock > under screen fingerprint.

Time to get the guillotines.

Pixel 7, Firefox. 🔥🦊

People were far more upset at the one time fee to remove ads being 30$. The monthly subscriptions include extra features. I used sync with an adblock so I never saw the ads anyway. I wouldn’t have seen them on boost either but it’s the principle behind it.

I have to agree. I always preferred an A class voice actor for a character that isn’t of celebrity likeness. Honestly hope this doesn’t become the norm.

Edit: I’d also like to add that Idris Elba is a phenomenal actor and I’m excited to play the expansion.

Good riddance. He’s a man you could always tell doesn’t play games.

I mean flaccid dicks are small. And for fucks sake I’m glad they are. Could you imagine having to walk and maneuver yourself with a permanently massive shlong?

I’ve legit already “boosted the rocket” in Boost for Lemmy. My issue with Sync was the fucking audacity to ask for 30$. My google opinion rewards will slowly funnel their way into rocket fuel out of mere respect for him being humble.
