you can only take five photos per day without paying for a subscription, which costs $0.99 / month or $10.99 USD / year

Are you kidding me with this shit?! I have no problem with paying $11 straight up for an app, so it’s not about the money. I simply refuse to encourage the garbage “subscription all the things” model.

The “You get what you pay for” excuse doesn’t hold up. My 77-inch LG OLED cost over $3k USD. It’s still full of ads and spies on me unless i neuter it.

In every community, there is always another power-hungry asshole ready to jump on the opportunity to have a tiny bit of control over somebody else.

Mods not modding is nothing new to reddit. The only impact they would feel is if users stopped posting. I don’t see that happening though.

It’s 7-D chess. He wants to use x-Twitter as a tax wire-off.

I, for one, thank the German government for introducing me to a new site.

You can’t 3D print a gun, but you can buy one without a background check. Brilliant.

Never stopped them before from still passing half-assed laws.

It is. And don’t call me Shirley.

If you think that these days resumes actually reach developers, I have an AI company to sell you.

I would like to see these publishers take on OpenAI, Midjourney and others, who basically said that copyright laws should not apply to them because AI would be “impossible” without them having free access to everything.

you can be certain that these publishers don’t know that you exist

I think it’s better this way.

Not to mention fast.

social media should go back to being a purely chronological feed, curated by the users themselves, and cut corporate influence out of the equation.

But then how would they make money if they can’t keep users doomscrolling forever to keep serving them ads? Won’t someone think of the shareholders?!

It’s at least 1 better than v2.

Rational person… 70 million people are still voting for a serial rapist even after… no, especially after he has been convicted of a felony.

A highly paid exec is hardly an example of “working class collective”.

Have you tried 15 more reboots?

Looks like I switched to Immich right on time.

Unfortunately deleting my photos out of Google now is a futile exercise. No matter what Google says, I’m convinced that they just make the photos unavailable to us, but don’t actually delete anything, ever.

Trade-in value, plus $400-500 USD. I generally change my phone once every 2-3 year, so I figure ~$150 per year amortization is fine.

They will have to rebrand Paramount+ again. Again.
