"There's no chance NATO'll grant Ukraine membership. It is right next to Russia, and NATO is scared to upset Putin."

While I agree that the chances for Ukraina bring admitted is next to slim I definitively don't agree with your opinion on why it will not happen.

You do understand that Ukraine is literally the only democracy in Europe that shares borders with Russia and is not a member of NATO?

Yup. I think we'll just have to a) wait until other people arrive and b) stop pushing subjects such as "how much do you hate Reddit", "Reddit have big problems now because....", "Spaz is an a-hole"

Either Lemmy is a sustainable ecosystem (posts causing discussion which then causes more posts) or Lemmy exists only until Reddit is good again.

I'm here because I believe that Lemmy is big enough to stand on its own feet.

When I started playing around with Linux 25 years ago Debian and APT was a small revolution in how good it worked out of the box.

I tried to get into Red hat and SUSE and I always wanted up in trouble even before I got any Windows manager up and running. Don't get me started on RPM and dependency hell

Debian just worked. I had stuff up n running BEFORE I had to go down the rabbit hole to understand how all things was connected.

For a beginner that was a game changer.

So what do you think is the reason why people are mad at Netflix? Is it because Netflix didn't stop some customers from not following the agreement earlier or is it because the customers can't continue to not following the agreement?

I have never claimed that Netflix is a good company or that they offer a good product.

All I'm saying it's that Netflix are free to change the terms and the customers are free to stop paying if they don't like the terms.

The reason I chose the word "promise" is because people often, especially in discussions regarding Netflix latest nice, tend to forget/ don't understand what it means when you sign an agreement.

I personally don't care if people get angry if Netflix hold them liable to the agreement they signed out if they get angry after getting a parking fine.

Regarding the ToS, do you mean that Netflix never made a change in the terms regarding sharing account before enforcing the new stuff or do you agree that the terms now regulate who you can and who you can't share your account with?

Then you're not in the target group for Netflix. (Neither am I since I never stopped using my Kodi setup).

Piracy was the only thing that brought us Spotify, Netflix and affordable games on PC.

As I understood it you cancelled Netflix and didn't sign up for a substitute.

"...but I didn't bother to make my own account when I got booted from my parents' account. Because Netflix doesn't make enough good stuff to justify it anymore and they cancel everything too quickly."

So you actually don't care about Netflix enforcing the agreement since you don't care about Netflix.

I agree on Netflix not making much good stuff. A lot of the Netflix movies people are praising today would never have passed the pre production phase in the 90's or 00's. It just seems like there has been a general decline in quality the last 10 years and people had just gotten used to it and get happy for whatever is better than the latest upcoming remake/sequel.

I also agree about Apple producing quality. In my opinion they're the only streaming service that doesn't fill their catalogue with bullshit just to look bigger.

All other services not requiring one account per household is simply not true. Netflix is probably the only service actively stating that account sharing is okay. For example, Disney Plus terms states that you are not allowed to share your credentials to a 3rd party.

The reason that some services are more lenient on this issue is that they are still focusing on gaining market shares. Next phase is starting to focus on how to getting profitable.

Netflix might be the first one cracking down on this but they are definitively not the last one doing that.

If the streaming services don't make sure it's enforced the copyright holders will.

Ok. Then you probably didn't need Netflix anyways?

If you read the agreement you agreed ro it clearly says they are allowed to change the terms and you are free to cancel the subscription.

They didn't break any promises.

I don't get what's controversial about Netflix making sure their customers keep their promises.

The good thing about Netflix is that they don't lock you in for 12-24 months. So you're free to cancel whenever you want. Compare that to the agreement you have with your internet provider.

With that said, you who cancelled Netflix because of this change, what streaming service did you move to that didn't enforce on account per household?

Intel is pulling out and ASUS continues, how is that more competition?

Greed and people not understanding that it's not a coincidence that there is 1% owning 99% of wealth. A large majority of the 1% are not "self made men" that "built an emporium from nothing".

I'm not talking about some communistic solution where we hunt down Elon Musk and take everything from him.

I'm just say saying that it's fucked up that a lot of people think it's ok that Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Steve Bezos etc have or have had periods where they built extreme wealth and paid no taxes at all.

One thing that Lemmy and Reddit seems to have in common is the mysterious reasons why some relevant posts are downvoted. At -15 after a day.

Ok. That's what I suspected.

Do you have any link to where it is discussed by the devs?

Yeah. It might be the Exodus playing a role here.

But it still messes up my hot subscribed flow significantly.

Yes, I thought of that being the reason too. However, that implies that someone just found a years old post a couple of days ago and felt that now was the time to reply to it?

Not only that... A lot of people did that exact same thing in multiple other posts that least couple of days?

I'm not saying it's impossible but it just feels weird that it never happened in my flow before and not suddenly I have multiple years old posts popping up.

This post is 3 years old but the replies are at the most days old.

What is happening with Lemmy?

I noticed right after replying. However, It's still important to crumble the ridiculous attempt to stain Mozilla and Firefox.
