Its weird how many times this has happened. Its almost like growth at all cost isn't sustainable.

I miss all the personal home pages. You could get a real sense of who somebody was based on what they chose to display. Maybe they had pictures of the favourite game or tv show, or their own little web diary. Now its all just santizied profile pages that have virtually zero room for creativity. It's too sterile now.

Agreed. More instances should defederate from anything related to Meta. Im here because a corporate entity utterly destroyed something I liked. I don't want that again.

God i hope so. I miss being able to just pop the back off and change out my battery. It was great for sd and sim card slots too. I am quite excited for this

If an instance of lemmy becomes commercialized, other instances will just defederate it, cutting it off from like 90 percent of users and content

This is a pretty shit deal tbh. Ooohh ad free browsing and some free pngs you can tack onto your avatar or comments.

It sure is convenient that the second they kill third party apps they push a subscription model for ad free service on their ad riddled, barely functioning app...

Yeah same. I did shop around a bit on other instances but i decided the general purpose one here was the most sensible for me.

Also Quartz is used extensively in electronics, including medical devices that help people with healing or managing their ailments.

So far I'm liking it. I wasn't fond of the general attitude people had on reddit though, and I'm seeing some of the pop up as a result of the migration.

I have concerns that the lemmy community will become as toxic as reddit is. Other than that, I am enjoying how small communities are here. I don't feel like my voice is being drowned out by other users or bots.

I'm 23 and I really don't want to drive but I have to eventually. Public transit where I'm at is absolutely terrible and its holding me back from basically any typenof decent career.

If you live in a city with great transit, thats great for you. The sad reality is that in most places, public transit sucks donkey balls.

Thanks i hate it

Some new episodes will be relatable to younger generations just based on titles like "Zapp gets Cancelled".

Also, futurama holds up remarkably well because many of the problems we face today are the same problems people had in the early 2000s, or at the very least today's problems are analogous to those of the past.

Typical redditor moment tbh

God i hate how utterly useless search engines are now

I think there already is one. There was a guy working for that company who was fired for whistleblowing after the ceo ignored his safety concerns, and now that employee is going after the company for wrongful termination.

That ceo knew it was dangerous but still decided to drag 4 other people to a watery grave

All they had to do was charge relative to the value reddit is providing to said apps.

Instead they gave the "fuck you" price and now theyre not getting any money for their api.

Id rather pay for a subscription for a forum site or something. I know echo chambers are dangerous, but sometimes you just need a gated community. Money makes it really easy to keep the lunatics out.

Rocket Slime is actually the second game of a trilogy. Its just the only one to get an english translation.

Wario and Peach

I've read that the sub in question was only rated for 1300 ft, and they were taking it on dives of up to 4000 ft. Unless the sub surfaced as part of a safety protocol, there is an exceedingly high probability that the sub imploded and killed everybody.

Well considering nixon is voiced by billy west, id say thats cheating. Dude voices almost everybody.

Actually the ceo fired the guy who told him the sub wasn't safe past 1300ft.

That respawn toaster thing from the futurama video game would be quite handy.

Which is still just some pngs. All that avatar crap is utterly worthless

I liked how they did an entire episode with Beck.

Also, apparently John Goodman was robot santa.

CIGARS ARE EVIL, YOU WON'T MISS THEM! WE'LL FIND WAYS TO SIMULATE THAT SMELL!

I am the man with no name, Zapp Brannigan!

I cant wait for the heat wave to be turned into a summoningsalt parody.

You'll have to his patriotism circuit!

The sequel to CHALLENGE PISSING

This is the big issue with growth investment or whatever the hell its called. Instead of being happy with a steady revenue, big companies have to always grow until they become completely unsustainable.

Im just saying, cell had to get that weird tail hole from somebody's DNA. Methinks frieza choked out goku using his sphincter.

Nobody Aksed you!

Oh yeah, and by a wide margin. At those depths they wouldn't have even had the chance to register that they were about to die. Implosions are nearly instant.

A Hat in a Tim - a game about a guy named tim who ate a hat.

My issue with premium is that they took features away from the old youtube app and then resold them as a part of premium.

It's hard to see the value in premium when half of the features are things they took away from us. It feels like a betrayal, and so i use revanced.

Thats less of a eureka and more of an archimedes moment.

Wernstrom did it

Its not comparable at all. Reddit was a customer boycott. This on the other hand will cause a massive and very expensive logistical nightmare.

I used to host my portfolio site through them actually.
