    • The Games Industry Needs A Stronger Games Media

    Jump

  • oh yeah, publicly funded research should 100% be open access to the public

    go visit any of the news subreddits/communities... any time people post a link to a news site there are a bunch of comments complaining about paywalls, or OP gets downvoted

    • Another US state repeals law that protected ISPs from municipal competition

    Jump

  • Private ISPs are already highly subsidized by taxes... Just take away those subsidies and give us a public option.

    • Google scrambles to manually remove weird AI answers in search

  • That dynamic would mean reddit is full of people who sound very very confident in the joke position

    A lot of the time people on reddit/lemmy/the internet are very confident in their non-joking position. Not sure if the same community exists here, but we had /r/confidentlyincorrect over on reddit

  • Are the prices actually coming down? Or are they shrinking the products or selling inferior goods?

  • I'd rather just pay a subscriptiom fee (aka paywall) than buy some branded crap that i dont need....

    Like, whatever a creators markup is on a tshirt, i'd rather just give them that money in susbscription fee.

    Why would i buy a $55 tshirt and have have the creator take home $5? I'd rather just give them the $5

  • Patreon is just another "paywall"

  • Who is going to pay for it? Every time journalists try to get paid enough to eat and have a roof over their head people cry "paywall!!!"

    Or if they do ad supported people cry "ad infested cancer site!!" Or "lol adblock!"

    Just to be clear, i adblock the shit out of the internet. I prefer some kind of paid model, but i'll get downvoted to hell for saying that. I'm not smart enough to have any good answers on how to pay journalists. But crying "paywall" at everything is not helpful...

    What i dislike is having to have an account and password for everything. There needs to be a better model/system for paying journalists (not just in gaming media)

    Currently the only business models are:

    1. ad filled clickbait
    2. billionaire backed media
    3. unpaid volunteer work
    4. paid subscription

    And it seems like the only sustainable ones in this day and age are 1 and 2 (to the detriment of our society)

  • I'm as cynical as the next guy... But i feel like an administration that is willing to enforce antitrust laws (even if it is just for votes) is a good thing

  • I'm all for dismantling capitalism, but until we come up with a better system, i'm not about to liquidate my accounts just to stick it to the man. Thats cutting your nose off to spite your face

    Pensions arent a thing anymore. Retirement savings accounts and lottery tickets are the only two options if you dont want to work until you're dead...

  • Shit must REALLY suck for you that you have no retirement plan... But its not really helpful for us to attack other working class people with retirement accounts tied to stock market investments

    Fighting each other and is exactly what the 0.1℅ wants is to do (forget the 1%... Thats just misguided bullshit meant to further divide us)

    • Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows

    Jump

  • Its maybe a small thing, but being packaged in linux repos would be huge for me

    Being able to type

    $sudo apt install winamp

    Would be so cool

  • Yes, it is trickling down... But not as much as it should

    I dont understand why lemmy talks about the stock market like only moustached men wearing top hats and monocles are benefiting....

    Regular ass working class people with retirement funds are benefiting as well.

    I agree, the stock market disproportionately rewards the rich.... But until we come up with a better system, cheering for the collapse of the stock market hurts pretty much everyone
