That’s what I’ve been noticing for quite a while. Lemmy slowly became the very thing it tried proposing itself to be better than. But I guess that’s the cost and what happens when you got disgruntled users from Reddit coming here, just to shit up the place just because they either can or that is really how they are everywhere.

Really can’t tell you how many antagonizing users I’ve ran across in all of my attempts to socialize around the fediverse, especially Lemmy. Oh and the power-tripping moderation is alive and well, definitely something from Reddit. It’s almost like Reddit gave them a reason to leave it, just so they’d come here and repeat everything that went wrong.

I also don’t remember asking for a Firefox Account or Firefox Profiles.

Because yay, that’s one more fucking thing to keep track of on top of a hundred things that make you register these days.

And another on a list of things you should not use AI for…

AI is not for:

• Therapy
• Tax Filing
• Planning Revenge
• Trying to make you win online arguments
• Trying to make it see things your way, like specific worldviews
• Trying to make it orchestrate protests
• Erotic Roleplay (Grok doesn’t care about it though)
• Stalk people

Duh, it’s called downloading them and we’ve been doing that since the late 90s. Enjoying that rock of idiocy you’ve been sleeping under? Do you need streaming services to spoon-feed you content? What a loser.

Tidal is fucking garbage. You mean I have to pay to have songs fully play? The fuck is that about? Bullshit. Only dumbasses who pay for songs to play fully and not 30 second limits are the tools for that platform.

This article is hilarious.

First off - “Trust among users is waning”. Dude, it’s been waning and most people didn’t trust YouTube Premium in the first place because of years of having watched on YouTube with as little to no advertisements. It was glorious. The fuck are you on about?

Second, the second paragraph in, author is citing Reddit as the source of information. This is to imply that we can’t see price hikes a mile away? When, even if we didn’t, we know services like Netflix has been doing it for a while now and YouTube Premium had a price hike before. But now we need Reddit users to know anything? Fucking lol.

This is a case where just having the headline would’ve been good for us.

The other downside is, is if you play VHS enough time, you’ll get degraded quality by generation. Audio sync issues, video skipping and scattering.

So, everyone is having a slapfight of confusion over the purposes VHS had.

For movies, people were ready as hell when DVD gained ground to change format. DVD has 10 years under VHS, especially when we thought Blu-Ray was going to kill DVD once and for all and when we thought streaming was going to kill it once and for all. But, DVD is going to easily outlast VHS in time. The difference being, VHS was literally ALL we had for its time and for its purpose. DVD, we fall back to because a lot of the other options, like streaming, sucks.

However, for camera and studio use, it took nearly longer, so there is a lot more reluctance.

Okay, I want to see an oven product now that takes VHS tapes.

But Bruh, Microsoft is allowed to do it because we’re in business with Microsoft! - Government

Yeah but, one day, someday. All and every VHS tape will be completely useless because of the degradation.

So, people will just end up sitting on piles of just junk.

Dude, if it is the price, then just say it. You instead, made yourself look and sound stupid.

Saw IV, to date, remains the only movie I’ve ever downloaded. I thought the series perfectly ended at III, but they had to keep continuing.

But, what VPNs? This is never described. All in general or specific ones?

Fuck that. It reminded me of the time I think someone in the army threw grenades at their fellow soldiers. This was years ago, he probably was fried for that and deservingly so.

Play the long game, fake it until politicians or even the President make their tours on bothering visiting the military bases. Hope it’s yours, then throw a grenade at that fucker.

And they’re already dogshit in practice. Some of them are broken, we can’t tell where to put things because the stupid digital interface glitches. People misplace them. They aren’t properly installed or they’re a pain to install. They don’t even blink when you try to find something.

Oh yeah, what a wonderful investment…

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!

Yeah, okay.

Yes because the ‘good faith’ of engaging in stupid retorts is to basically nod along like a bobblehead going “uh huh, u sure right, fam”.

Yeah that’s not me, not sorry.

Nobody deserves so much money.

Doesn’t deserve that much money.
