All the people who got fired and offered to be rehired should agree to refuse unless their salary is doubled - if only because decent employers don't play with people's livelihoods like that, to teach them a lesson.
Because alternative clients offer features that only the for-pay official client offers, like subscriptions and playlists, and Google can't collect data on what people subscribe to or their playlists because in alternative clients, they're stored locally.
Google doesn't hate third-party clients because they skip ads: it hates them because they impede surveillance and privacy invasion, which is the true bread and butter of Google.
Germany’s political system is resilient even against 20% Nazis.
...for now.
The problem is, like you said, Germany will form a bland unappealing, reasonable coalition government that won't rock the boat, pushing more dissatisfied voters into the arms of the AfD. And one day, the extremists will win and then it'll be game over.
Nazis won’t be part of the government after this result

Google clearly has the ability to break any and all third party client at any time.
My theory is that they're conducting random campaigns of working-but-not-all-the-time on this or that client at different times to grind everybody down and force them to comply through shear exhaustion. Because if they banned all 3rd party client outright, it would negatively impact the antitrust case against them.
Funny how a man who claims to be the representative of God on Earth seems to be totally let down by the supernatural and entirely dependent on secular medicine for survival, like the rest of us. It's almost as if he was nothing special at all...
Markup applies to titles in Lemmy. But be aware that titles are displayed raw above comments so don't go too crazy with it, so your titles display okay raw too 🙂
Exactly this.
