Some platforms offer better prices in exchange for a one-year subscription commitment, but tiered discounts based on subscriber loyalty are much less common.
It’s literally the opposite most of the time. The longer you stay the more expensive it becomes.
Not saying people should start chugging it down en masse, but your own quote there makes it sound pretty far from equalling cancer.
Sagrada familia in Barcelona. Genuinely jaw dropping and nothing else has topped it in my travels.
I kind of hate takes like these because its such a false equivalence. People aren’t OK with it, but the vast majority of people don’t have time to fight this battle when every single aspect of modern technology is in a constant arms race to do more and more surveillance.
It’s great there are people like you who want to promote more private alternatives, and even better that people are making more private alternatives, but the reality is most foss apps are far inferior user experiences to corporate apps. Until that changes it’s always going to be an uphill battle to convince people to switch, and it’s not because they’re “ok with corporate surveillance”. That isn’t even in the calculation to begin with and it’s not making any friends or building any bridges to imply that about people. You would help your cause a lot if you took a less judgemental approach to spreading the word about it.
Sorry for the soapbox, but I see this attitude on here a lot and it really misses the mark and does damage to an otherwise worthy cause (spreading the word about better software). I don’t think you mean anything bad when you say this, but I just want you to understand how it comes off to people who aren’t invested in that lifestyle.
Communication: try it sometime.
Taking off the belt on your jeans.
I saw one the other day in the wild that had a huge orange “CYBERTRUCK” sticker in faux-graffiti lettering across the back. In case anyone had any doubts!
I think it is a bit of an unclear wording personally. “Made with”, despite technically meaning what you’re saying, is often colloquially used to mean “fully created by”. I don’t mind the AI tag, but I do see the photographers point about it implying wholesale generation instead of touchups.
I can give you a real answer, because I asked my wife this exact question (she’s black and uses the skin tone closest to hers, I’m white and also just use yellow ones). She said it’s so rare to get to choose a digital representation that matches her skin tone that she just thinks it’s fun to get to do it for once.
Personally I think the upvote/downvote thing breaks down in a world with an all feed. Many people don’t check what community something is coming from, which is why moderation is another important factor.
If other people like how it is now that’s fine, it just isn’t for me.
I think that’s a fair interpretation though I definitely feel differently. I guess for me not the onion on Reddit was something I looked to for comedy, and so far the Lemmy version has been mostly depressing. That’s why I think it may just not be my cup of tea over here anymore.
What does someone have to do to prove to youtube they own it?
I’ve heard that for some non-english speakers who don’t know what it means, diarrhea is one of the most beautiful sounding words in English.
Michael Bennett comes to mind.
I really appreciate your take on this. Well put.
I don’t think it helps that most of the content and communities on here are primarily doom scroll content. I don’t even look at the all feed because it’s just depressing and upsetting to go through.
As someone who can’t eat wheat, I hope it continues. My life has improved dramatically since it got popular.
How does that work? You just type that before your query and it gives you ai answers?
