Even if I wanted to since the death of third party apps I haven't had a reason to use or have a reddit account. I didn't care enough to bother with the work around to get them working either. Glad rss still works, but pretty much why messages like that are news I find out through here.
His union stance was what made me start viewing him less positively. What is good for the company and the founders is going to be different from what employees consider beneficial for them. But, taking the stance of the benevolent dictator of how he would consider it a failure on his part if a union formed while trying to sell it off as though it wasn't really profit motivated but concern for the workers made me roll my eyes.
Of course it would be profit motivated with impact on payroll, hours, and benefits being impacted and him having less control over what he considers to be fair compensation.
Linus having his podcast and having a platform to start going off the script made me start not liking him much. Lot of his takes gave the impression that if Linus were an ISP he'd be completely for caps.
The issue isn't the processor on the Mac, but that stuff like the ram and internal storage is not user upgradeable which is the bottle neck if users need more. To no surprise users who want more aren't happy with upgrade premium. But, that's Apple. It's why their stocks are good to have.
What keeps me away from them is more the inability to upgrade even the storage. 256 is just too small and what smartphones come with these days, and stepping up starts increasing the price real quick.
I was using newpipe x Sponsorblock on Android exclusively, and now on desktop I've moved to freetube. Never did get the pop up telling me to remove Adblock but decided to make the jump early.
Yeah, it is interesting that with the exception of GPUs, PC parts like SSDs, hard drives, CPUs, and so on actually have felt like they haven't increased in price in comparison to phones. If anything prices have dropped and capacities increased and speeds gotten faster for SSDs for example. Same with televisions and monitors where stuff like resolution and hz has seen improvements while being cheaper than in the past.
Game industry is bigger than movies and music combined which was not the case back in the NES era. Game industry has become a juggernaut with a huge consumer target base, and lower barrier to entry that allows for even random people being able to publish games instead of a few larger companies. Rise in production costs has been one that has been self imposed the way some studios go for big special effects blockbusters because they are targeting billions. Meanwhile like with movies you get these indie 2D and last gen 3D looking games being hits right alongside these billion dollar company attempts.
I guess one area you can look at is how niche products get priced lower like mechanical keyboards, and then once productions starts ramping up and things go mainstream suddenly these niche expensive ventures with a few fans becomes more affordable as larger quantities are now being distributed.
You same thing with tech like SSDs and hard drives actually falling price over time while capacities offered grows. Lot of PC parts actually with the exception of GPUs.
So what is a good instance that is federated to lemmy.world and beehaw and other popular instances? Liked lemmy.one since it was connected to instances that were defederated from each other.
Because famous figures or organizations are the primary draw for the mainstream audience over random users. And many use it because they themselves hope to use the huge platform to promote or try to become an influencer.
Why would a company want to risk putting money into a game so niche it needs $100 per unit over a game that can make more money despite being priced $60. And you know... Just price it $100.
Most companies needing $100 per unit for a game to be profitable aren't going to bother approving that type of game to begin with over a game that can be priced $100 and have much broader mainstream appeal.
Game would $100 but the same as they are now. Could be $200 and it'd be the same as they are now and still have mtx, since why would a company leave the option to get more money. Few companies operate with the approach of this is enough money we are content.
And games have only gotten worse if you are looking at triple a titles the same way someone might say movies have gotten worse because they think high budget super hero movies are the only ones that exist.
If the market could sustain $100 it would be, but barrier to making and releasing games has never been lower. So consumers would just move to alternative games that are cheaper or old titles they haven't gotten around to. And worst of all to these comlanies the top sellers aren't always these high budget titles, but some indie title that's not even 3d. Then there's game pass people would just turn to if game prices went up moving more people to subscription.
More resources are put in because there is an incredible amount of money to make with the game industry being bigger than movies and music combined. It's no longer a niche upcoming industry but mainstream. And companies put in those resources because the market is that much bigger with more potential return on investment.
TV shows I look for are more narrative driven stories that are unfolding with characters and plot.
Cooking show is more in the realm of reality TV with less scripted presentation even though it is scripted. It's easier to find traditional TV show and talk show alternatives on YouTube than there is to find series along the vein of Fargo, Succession, The Office, House of the Dragon, etc.
Joe Haver is more shorts or skits, but not what I'm looking for. It's why I keep coming back to VGHS. It was the most ambitious attempt at offering a TV show on YouTube.
That's the type of narrative creativity that I'm looking for over usual x person talking and explaining or summarizing things that usually tends be the general YouTube content. Or some short skits.
Lenghty story driven content is just not really prevalent on YouTube, or have much selection if there is like there is when it comes to the numerous shows on Netflix to select from. Not surprising either given the budget required for TV shows and movies, which is why there's been no more VGHS type ambitious projects I know of that showed on YouTube since then.
I'd love to see that happen. At the very least security updates. It's a shame when a device stops getting updates rendering it an insecure device despite the hardware still being capable of quality performance. Especially with phones costing more than laptops.
But, those aren't tv shows or movies. They share more in common with reality TV and talk shows and podcasts.
When I heard YouTube is more creative with this being a topic about The Office I figured it was creative alternatives to tv show and movie alternatives you might have been suggesting. Like VGHS YouTube series as I mentioned.
