they show ads next to summaries of articles which, hey, blame the people for only reading the summary instead of clicking through to the source

but they do profit and I would like to see journalism Not become yet another Meta™ product

we’ve had NNTP since the 80s

and I could find maybe one or two students on my uni campus that know what this is

and also, it’s not the 80s anymore

the free clients are better anyway tbh

and hashtags! you cant forget the tags!

you don’t really have to, but it’s a lot more feature rich, less heavy to run if you’re self hosting, and has a really slick ui to boot

to answer the opposite of your question i would say it’s unethical to steal things from indie developers and creators; the same way its more wrong to steal from a local corner store than it is to steal from Walmart

american car dependency and minimum parking requirements, mostly

sites doing this probably wouldn’t be worth using anyways

what about when your bank adds this? have you tried using a safetynet enforcing app on a rooted android phone? this has bigger implications than you’re seeing

Ahhh, misunderstood the article I read then

Didn’t the C18 specifically name google and meta?

Not strict enough. Should be better we need a GDPR

The Canadian privacy watchdog does things? I doubt bard is any more data invasive than meta platforms and they get a pass…

there is bootleg printer ink, and the OEMs hate it so they put chips and sensors to only make printers take “genuine” ink

that there’s already an established oligopoly that sells their machines at a loss

Probably one of the big things keeping them from open sourcing their knowledge is denuvo though, they download games with their (cracked) DRM to RE and prevent future cracking

and also, empress cracks cost $$$ C:

God this is the fucking worst. Why would they ever make this decision? aside from annoying dualbooters

Apparently they’re going to move the system files to their own protected partition in 12, first good Microsoft change?

Every time someone writes these words on a forum the year of the Linux desktop is pushed back another month

I’m honestly shocked Adobe hasn’t tried to capitalize on the people who pirate from them, considering they’re the one company where the service is good and the cost is not

Do you know how much they’d take in if they had a yet cheaper tier for certain apps with a ‘personal use only’ clause or something? Probably a fuck ton if i had to guess

some do and some are willing to learn

of course, some people are stuck in their ways but i think even the most average of laymen can see the enshittification of streaming (esp Netflix)

Doug Bowser will be at their doorstep shortly

Ikr! And if you “install” the PWA it works even better, i never expected a web app to be this good (but this says more about lazy web app developers)

you are working really really hard in these comments defending a platform thats pretty arguably indefensible when it comes to both privacy and basic UX

every thing discord does at this point is to increase numbers on a chart and make an accountant happy

not enough people here? lemmy instances total are close to a million and that isn’t even including kbin users

also, what you said about the sign up process is entirely because of the influx of new users right now - of course its not good UX but with the community beehaw wants to foster, they need that application and they’re 4 people accepting all of them!

The lemmy front page default sort is currently broken IIRC. try sorting by new comments.
