¥1590/month.

Rough $11/month in freedom dollars. That’s not bad!

Still pricey for a solo use. What is your use cases? Lurking or a frequent poster?

Good. At a company, you get your ass fired if they catch you using non-approved equipment on company infrastructure. It can lead to leaks and infiltration, and lost of revenue.

In the military, that’s people’s lives!

Every time I see this implemented, it always seems like screwing over the end user who is trying to join for the first time. Platforms like reddit and Tumblr benefit from a friction-free sign up system.

Imagine how challenging it is for someone joining Lemmy for the first time and suddenly having to provide trust elements like answering a few questions, or getting someone to vouch for them.

They’ll run away and call Lemmy a walled garden.

It’s reporting activity, not banning people (or bots)

Why don’t you want to vote for the felon rapist who has a history of racist comments and has taken money from corporations and foreign government over the Cop lady?

This happened to my wife and I recently.

We came for a visit and her usual doctor wasn’t available. This new doctor flat out said, “I didn’t get a chance to read your medical history so tell me what’s going on.” My wife was confused, because this was her third visit to check her hormone levels. it wasn’t a checkup, but a followup.

And this doctor proceeds to not understand any of this, as she keeps asking her questions about why she might be there, instead of spending two minutes reading the medical history.

My wife ends up crying while Im sitting in the corner begging my wife we should just leave because shes not getting anything from this doctor.

Harebrained games made the very excellent Shadowrun games.

I’m not familiar with their other offerings. Honestly I just wished they made more Shadowrun games.

They shut off the Crew 2 and even planned on deleting the game from people’s libraries. They’ve added micro transactions to (I think) every single Ubisoft game in the last decade. They were pro NFTs and wanted it rolled out to games. Their Ubisoft launcher. Toxic and sexist environment.

Every few years, they make a better Assassins Creed or Far Cry that moves the open-world genre forward. But that’s the only positive thing I can say.

When I was looking, 8bitdo seemed like a major recommendation online in all the forums. You’re like the first person that recommended it in real time.

Y’all remember Pidgin?

That proggie was the bomb for all your AOL, ICQ, MSN, etc so you can keep up with your homies while you update your live journal.

On a pamphlet I saw, two glasses of 4oz wine a week meant you were a casual drinker. Three glasses and you’re a addict.

Wait you smoke it and not saltbae it in your food?

So… everyone instead just went to Bluesky and Threads where sign-up links were provided rather than directory links and manifestos.

Wild! This was my exact thought as I was signing up for Mastadon. I spent like 15 minutes figuring out what Mastadon is, what server to join, what each server means. Then I did the thing like I did with Lemmy and created half a dozen accounts waiting to see which server gave me my “Account Created” email first.

Then if this game is compared to Skyrim, be prepared to hate it?

Still waiting on approval for more resources. It’s not a priority in the company.

I swear we have like 4 runners on a raspberry pi.

I’m more furious they left a shit review.

These reviews fuck with business, especially without context. Map apps while driving only show you the value.

Envious. It averages 15-30 mins

Android ecosystem is not so much better.

I’ve been a supporter of web apps. Unfortunately it cuts into app store profits so it’s often shit on.

Sorry those people sound like morons.

Work pays for everything for me. I work at a major tech company with thousands of employees nationwide.

I’m given a top of the line laptop. Im given a credit to buy anything I need to improve my home office. Their tech and purchases are theirs and when I leave, it gets shipped back.

Using personal equipment at your workplace? Triple yikes. If your company does something illegal, your personal equipment gets confiscated by police. If your company’s network gets infected, your personal info like banking/CC gets stolen too.

Yeah I can see it being pretty aggressive. It’s like being punished for something a neighbor did. It would not make them feel good and even push them to give the double middle fingers akimbo to Brazil.
