  • Tech related stuff and old memes*

  • Not like you can't access their community anymore

  • Not just titles and not just amps, it's a problem with html sanitization added in 18.2 I guess.

  • If your job lost 70% of its customers, I bet you’d be begging your boss to raise prices to avoid a 70% pay cut.

    doing so will result in losing the remaining 30%

  • I think that asking to be paid for your work is totally fine (albeit I myself made my lemmy app completely free and opensource, simply because its just my hobby project), but its a rather different story when you provide app for open source, nonprofit venture-free platform and start to inject ads and trackers into it. Its goes against the entire idea of free decentralised platform and makes it closer to profit-focused app like reddit/threads/etc imo

  • contains adds

    contains in-app purchases

    collects data

    shares data with 3d party orgs

    Nothing against sync, but this is not what I'd expect from lemmy app tbh. There's a lot of free open source options that don't sell your data.

    Asking to be paid for your job is OK, but injecting ads in ad-free opensource service, selling user data? This is just reddit-app-moment in my opinion

  • There's a lot of free open source alternatives :)

  • I wonder how many people will be ok with this, considering that there's a large portion of folks who does not know what's AdBlock

  • Telegram with my gf and family, discord with friends. Fb messenger is awful to say the least

  • For Android: fennec does this.

    Spoilers: I'm this app's developer :)

  • Isn't its everywhere in the world right now? Economic system is rigged towards the elites and thats what we have to deal with

  • It’s not like corporations produce greenhouse gasses because they think it’s fun.

    I think we can agree on that corporations are aimed at cheapest way to produce most popular goods at the biggest scale they can achieve for, in the end, produce the biggest possible profit. Thats what corporations are made for: money.

    In the end, rich guy gets a yacht, bunker for apocalypse and private residence with AC, private kitchen stuff and anything they want so he will be fine even if its 60C outside. If it will get unbearable, they'll move to something like Norway and will be fine.

    At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people who live in hot countries will die and millions will be climate refugees.

    All that, because producing iphone with coal electricity (simplification, albeit I feel like its close to truth) is 10$ cheaper.

    Blaming corporations, even if partially accurate, doesn’t actually get us any closer to solving things.

    Swapping to paper bags will not help either. There are only two options to solve the issue:

    1. Government forces corpo to stop wasting our planet (because we don't have a spare one)
    2. People get torches

    1 is impossible because gov will never cut the feeding hand and 2 is just a matter of time until we will get couple hundred millions migrants from Aftica, India, Pakistan etc.

  • Yeah its pretty standard to have in offices and shops, but not in apartments or houses. I've seen couple of ceiling fans in Spain, but here in France some people don't even use regular floor fans for some reason lol

    To be honest, we only get 2 hot months in a year (usually, though its starting to change and now its more like 3 hot months where 2 are extra hot)

  • He made money from people liking provided fun and easy access to reddit, additional functionality and customization options.

  • This is fine, we just need to switch from plastic bugs and make caps attached to bottles and everything will be alright! Together we can fight at least 1% of the carbon emissions from top 100 corporations in the world :)
