There’s no better ad for piracy than the greed of corporations. Don’t let ads shit in your head. They disrespect you, you disrespect them.

Yeh. I’m right there with you.
Lol. Nice try. Don’t think that works around here.
Protection from universes beyond crap
A lawsuit waiting to happen… someone needs to class action MS for systemic breaches of privacy. Think of all the critical infrastructure, government, medical, policing, etc. systems processing sensitive, private, and in some cases classified, information.
Lol, I guess this is supposed to be a joke?
Capitalism loves to capitalise…
If the strippers name is jfk, you wouldn’t use a comma. The sentence would be “we invited the stripper JFK, and Stalin.”
Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose…
It seems lemmy has discovered bob katter. A comedy goldmine.
Boycotts work in luxury markets with strong competition. Necessity markets with highly concentrated monopolies? No chance. Without legislation to protect consumers, they are powerless to defend themselves against the greed and exploitation of corporate interests.
There’s a leak, there’s a leak, in the boiler room…
My theory is that it’s just the fact that there is always a new generation of people around the corner who haven’t learned the lesson of how capitalists work. Therefore, there is always a market vulnerable to being swindled. They can keep using the same tactics, there’s always a delay in people figuring out the grift, then by the time they do there’s a new group of suckers ready to fall for it.
It’s taken longer than I expected, but more and more people are realising streaming services as a model are not good, by any measure.
They cost more in the long run, you are made powerless as a consumer (perpetually increasing costs and removing your favourite content), and you can’t even get ‘everything at the convenience of your fingertips’ cause the market is fragmented and they remove things periodically. You own nothing and pay more. Absolutely stupid model that deserves to die.
If the system can’t protect itself from being overwhelmed by the cancer of corporate interests, then it’s never going to survive. New wave internet needs to learn from the downfalls of its predecessor. The design must have protections built in to prevent capitalists from capitalising, or else it will inevitably fall.
Why bother with making any apps these days when you can just build a web app and have it work across platforms.
/all does seem to be devolving into just a shitty news feed of US bullshit. I try and block as much as possible, but it’s not perfect. Lemmy needs a way to categorise and filter out stuff like blatant news links. I want memes and discussion, not ads and news.
