well yeah you simply cannot convince me that copying a sequence of 1s and 0s between two computers is tantamount to stealing

look italy. just stick to what you know

pizza

pasta

mafia

and so on

instagram definitely does this, reddit seems fine for me so far

streaming just has godawful UX now as well. the apps play you commercials while in the menu, you have to worry about buffering, you aren’t allowed to take screenshots (which is the most numbskulled DRM i’ve ever seen; they allowed it in the old days and everything was fine AND either way people have ALREADY managed to rip and share the raw footage. what’s the point??), 75% of the fucking content on amazon you have to pay an extra fee for, media appears and disappears at the whim of pigheaded suits, prices go up every 6 months because fuck you, the blindingly stupid netflix ‘single family home’ restriction…

watching tv is meant to be fun, not introduce a whole other layer of bureaucratic bullshit into our lives

why is the DMCA the one fucking law that actually gets enforced at a high rate when there are literally billions of things more important that we could spend money on

i too hate when people want to watch the shows i am putting on

meh. who am i, a fuckin executive? i don’t care about graphs

frankly, it feels like lemmy has both grown and gotten worse - it attracted enough attention that there are now morons, bootlickers, corporate simps, and dickheads posting now, and upvoting each other’s posts

for anyone just randomly seeing this on lemmy, the beaverton does indeed do satire

even if you’re right, this is so fucking condescending

i mean aside from the obvious fact that things don’t have to have infinite growth – what stops me from using more is the bugginess and weirdness of the interface. you still can’t hide individual posts, which was huge for me on reddit, and would be on here especially since things are slower. [there are apps that can hide posts, but only on those apps, they don’t carry over to desktop]

i’d rather see a circlejerk over capitalism being bad than people accepting the shittiness

non-artist-based pOrTfOlIos should be criminalized

american headline: 12 states vote to re-legalize indentured servitude in order to pay off medical debt

dutch headline:

i love how billionaires just get to ruin things now

this is the dumbest thing i have ever seen in my fucking life, holy fucking god

we’re reaching levels of capitalism that shouldn’t even be possible!
