I'm not a specialist and I'm just guessing: licensing fees and streaming fees to the actors etc? Every view costs them a tiny bit of money. I guess over time it adds up. And from Disney's pov those shows don't bring in new subs or anything, so they only cost them money?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying it. Nothing to do about it then I guess :)

I still like your app a lot, much better than the standard lemmy UI :)

A better example:

Been using it for a while now on my desktop. I like it a lot. But there is an issue with image compression?

When clicking on the image, it looks perfectly fine, but inline in the feed it is weirdly compressed. Makes it very jarring to browse e.g. memes.

+1 for that series.

I love John Scalzi's writing. And old man's war is great fun. Finished the entire series in a single big binge over a few weeks.

The culture series? It's not outright said they're human, but they're clearly human. And they outscale basically every single thing in the universe. Or at least in the first few books. Might change later.

I just started reading the series. Started just with the first one. Really enjoyed it, it reads like an action movie. Reading the second one. Starts a bit slow, but it's starting to suck me in as well. (don't remember the names, the books have such weird names :))

If I end up enjoying it as well, I'll just keep going probably. This post makes me want to read them all :)

Nobody stops you you know... What an incredibly dumb comment...

You genuinely believe every single Russian soldier is there out of their own free will?

Again, I'd blame society for that, not humanity.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the actual power in the world lies in the hand of just a fraction of percent of the people. Those asshole ruin it for everyone else.

Doesn't mean the average human is evil.

Pretty cool app. I'll try it out for a bit. Nice work!
