Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap

Jump

  • Very good counter arguments. I hate how the headline just lumps in cloud with streaming/ uber in value. Shows the naiveity of the author.

    • Twitter/X removing the block feature

    Jump

  • To block people. Duh.

  • On the same note, it is amazing how people complain about quality of journalism, but get mad if they see an ad or have to pay a subscription to news sites.

  • That horizon of consequences never seems to come near.

    • Trump’s Lawyers Ask Him to Cancel Press Conference on Georgia Election Before He Makes Matters Worse

    Jump

  • I hope he does it. When do we start to see him throw other people under the bus? "Jim Jordan suggested it".

    • DC Democrats argue ranked choice voting is confusing to voters in predominantly Black areas as they seek to block potential vote on implementing the system

    Jump

  • Absolutely not. Criticize things like this is correct but this does not equate to a coup, banning abortion and gender care. Don't give ammo to a shit takinge point.

    • Sam Bankman-Fried is going to jail

    Jump

  • Dude wanted to build a bunker for a possible "Apocalypse". Another delusional billionaire. Glad this guy got caught.

    • So much for that dream.

    Jump

  • There is a reason for it, isn't there? Bullshit is motivated to manipulate, and spread propaganda. While, truth based journalism needs professionals to do due diligence. While we can argue for better journalism, wishing for everything to be free ain't gonna work.

    Unless we are okay with.. Ads. We won't tolerate that either, would we?

  • Lemmy and Mastodon to a larger extent hate anything owned by a corporation. That voice is getting more and more louder by the day.

    • 80% of bosses say they regret earlier return-to-office plans

    Jump

  • These are the questions Media won't ask or talk about

    1. Is RTO office necessary? Is there data to support forcing employees into office?
    2. What do employees want?

    Every other article is either around painting WFH as bad or about how to make sure RTO succeed.

  • Was the signature requirement change also defeated?

    • In Tuesday's special election, Ohioans overwhelmingly voted against requiring a supermajority to amend their state constitution

    Jump

  • Did they sneak it in as part of issue 1?

    • Fediverse now well past 14 Million total users

    Jump

  • Chronological timeline doesn't really work unless you build a highly curated list. Not many people used Twitter that way.

    • I much prefer Lemmy over Mastodon

    Jump

  • These products aren't new. Twitter is not the same as Reddit. Why do people think Mastodon and Lemmy are comparable? Also it feels like an unnecessary competition. We'd better off with the Fediverse growing and maturing.

    • Daily Lemmy comments up from ~7m to ~11m following the launch of Sync?

    Jump

  • Mastodon has 2M active users and has been steady for quite a while now. Fediverse is growing, maturing. Also Lemmy is trying to compete with Reddit, and Mastodon is trying to compete wuth Twitter. Lemmy and Mastodon are not actually competing with each other.
