Welcome to “windows as a service”. At this point Windows is basically like a freemium app.

Yeah no shit lol. On my last job which gave you about as much power as a 3 year old, I got real good with making it look like I was doing work.

Most businesses think “process” is critical but all process did was make me do 90% bullshit and 10% real work.

I could have done my last job in 2 days if it was just me doing things.

The problem is most of the idiots in charge think if we moved to a 4 day work week we’d do the work of 3 days.

I for one hope the next generations don’t die behind a desk while the guy you work for is off on a yacht living life like it was 1999.

Vinegar is for YT and Baking Soda for the rest of the web. Little annoying the devs split them up but they are both great as they give you a basic video. No ads, overlays, nothing. It may seem like a small thing but man does it have a huge impact.

Yeah def not a good replacement for micro blogging. It’s almost impossible to catch up Discord even with slow mode on.

I find Lemmy cool. Hope more people leave Reddit for it and we can rebuild a decentralized place no one company can control.

Apple lists the following:

“Such as racial or ethnic data, sexual orientation, pregnancy or childbirth information, disability, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, political opinion, genetic information, or biometric data”

Biometric data is a bit scary.

It never amazes me how little billion dollar companies actually do with their money.

Cutting back your engagement from 30h a week to 30m is a huge shot against Reddit tho.

I kept my account alive but now only follow a handful of subs and am finding alternatives weekly. Discord. Lemmy.

This all results in a huge loss for Reddit because no one’s there for the ads or promoted posts. And that’s all they’ll have left after a while. And that’s not enough to attract a real base. Reddit won’t die overnight but look at what one fatal move did to Tumblr (when they banned porn). It tanked the site so hard that it’s losing money daily now. A stark contrast from when it sold for billions.

Corporations are far too flippant in thinking they are indestructible. And how they handled the API changes tells you that, like Tumblr, they made a serious mistake.
