I don’t fully understand why they need to do this. What is the cost of their service? Using the tool is already a subscription service, what else do they want? It’s not like they have cloud services. They just want free money I guess?

Lol I just remembered Elon’s tweet that led to him firing an Android dev. Who’s doing poorly batched remote procedure calls again? 😂
It’s so great to see. Just proves what everyone was saying all along. Communities are built by the people that participate in them, and not the tools. Get rid of those tools and we’ll find other ones.
I think the main problem with these companies and the startup/tech bro culture (mostly in the US) is that they are growing for the sake of just growth itself, because they want to get their own. The original idea is to grow as big as they can, IPO, then sell it off. They weren’t designing things to be profitable from the start. So eventually they all reach a stage where they are hemorrhaging money too much, and that is where all the enshittification happens (investors come in, they try to make it a real business now, but it wasn’t really feasible to be a business to begin with).
It’s early stages but the conversations here feel more “high effort”. I think it might also be because of signup approvals which weeds out bots/low effort posters. I do feel the growth pains with the timeouts happening more often but overall content-wise it is quite nice.
I’m using the OnePlus Nord (the first one) and I am still very happy with it.
I used to have a Blackberry Key2 (and the Key1 before that). Those were awesome Android phones too, and much easier to code with using the physical keyboard. I kept the Key2 and use it for when I need to do some typing but don’t want to use the laptop.
I used to own an iPhone (6s was the last one) but I ended up switching because of the Blackberries. I like how I can just install Termux and turn my phone into a device that I can work on. Also Android just seems way ahead in terms of software features with their OS.
Same here - sometimes I fire it up just to do some hunting and fishing
Great recommendation on Euro Truck Simulator. I didn’t think I’d like it either but it is great fun especially for the limited time I have to play games nowadays
I wonder though why they’ve been making losses for years - probably because of all the acquisitions? Looks like they were just another “grow now, revenue later” company that is now too big to be able to afford itself
