exanime , to Selfhosted in Cloudflare is bad. Youre right.

For me personally, it was all about balance.

15 years ago, Gmail/Inbox was a great email client, the domain was great and popular (so no need to spell it out for people) and I would "pay" by getting ads based on my emails read by a bot.

Now Gmail is a terrible email client, the best updates are ridiculous things like moving buttons around and it takes Google years to roll out. The thing loses emails, mislabels and misclassifies stuff and the rules work for a week then blow up. On top of that, google is now basically a proctologist considering how far up my ass they want to go

The balance is broken... Google now officially sucks (IMO)

exanime , to Ask Lemmy in Why are Republicans/Conservatives embracing fanaticalism these days?

Because it's the only path left they have to attain power. They cannot win on merit, debate, ideas, track record, etc... it's been like that for a while but now they are getting more and more desperate

exanime , to Technology in Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined

Pirating implies some knowledge and effort some people may not have or want to get into

Paid Legal services are so enshitified some people may think they are getting ripped up

Paid illegal services are often HUGE bang for buck value (no enshitification, no limits, no nonsense and often better customer service)

exanime , to memes in It'll end up as "Vote stupid parties, win stupid prices"

I didn’t say RN would do better. I said they would be the same.

ehmmm... so did I

but it seemed you portrait that as a better option for some reason

exanime , to memes in It'll end up as "Vote stupid parties, win stupid prices"

so you agree RN would do the same but not even pretending to care and that's better?

you dropped this /S

exanime , to Technology in CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information

Neither does ChatGPT... they over-hyped this tech so hard, I am afraid they are makers of their own demise...

exanime , to memes in Paying for advertising

The entire principle Apple is based on

exanime , to Not The Onion in Maine Cybertruck Owner Sad Everyone Hates His Truck

Which is why you shouldn't go by any one source...

exanime , to Not The Onion in Maine Cybertruck Owner Sad Everyone Hates His Truck

In person I can’t go anywhere without someone wanting to ask me about it and gushing about how cool it is.

That's just confirmation bias my dude...

I have seen people out there with clothes, accessories, hairdo, make up that makes me want to vomit... but I am not an asshole and this is not my problem so I do nothing....

On the other hand, I have seen as many people with clothes, accessories, hairdo or make up that makes me want to say "wow, that is so cool"... being a positive thing, I do sometimes tell them "Bud, what an awesome shirt!"... "wow those glasses are super cool!", etc

The point being, it takes different types of people/attitudes/effort to go out of your way to give a compliment vs an insult... insulting people is harder and riskier, therefore you will see much less of it (how many people go out of their way to warn you you have a bugger hanging out or lettuce on your teeth?)

exanime , to Technology in After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year

I don't think it's about assuming anything... it's about not burdening the consumer with regulating industry when it is clearly impossible to do so.

OP (of this thread) pitches Apple as an alternative... do you want to help artist a tad while also assisting a multi billion dollar company to continue to squash any possible ownership and right-to-repair chance the consumers has?...

There isn't ONE large corporation that has not shown they would kill people if that made them money... so no, the consumer cannot, in practice,
"vote with their wallet" into forcing any corporation anywhere near an ethics "green ground"

In the USA, that boat sailed long ago... most cities are too spread out to pedal anywhere
