Fuck them for these games. It’s an abuse of their market position.

Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I’ve tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

That’s not what I consider negligible on my phone, which is already resource constrained. Yes, I have a problem with an app that intentionally wastes my valuable resources. I wouldn’t care so much from my desktop, but I mostly just use a desktop client to do things I can’t easily do on my mobile clients.

No big deal. It’s not as if my participation is especially valuable. I would just participate less.

edit: my objection is obviously more in principal than it is practical, but it would hardly be the first time I walked away from software (or a network) on philosophical grounds.

And use copper pot still with silver solder.

Never heard of, eg, Vioxx or thalidomide, I take it?

That’s a hard NO from me, dawg. If Lemmy goes down that path, I will just not comment. My account settings let me just block bots. I dont need my resources wasted so I can interact with the “good bots”.

What is it with people who think everything they don’t like should be illegal? Have you never read a history book? Authoritarianism is bad mmkay

I once decided to actually use the dread command.

I was nuking the OS, so fuck it.

Forgot to unmount my data first…

Yeah, that’s not especially enormous compared to startups in the valley offering huge equity alongside already generous compensation packages.

Which is ironic considering the source.

Apes aren’t monkeys.

You are correct. On some clients, it also blocks you from seeing threads or posts where that user participates, but I believe that is a defect.

I guess it really is an unpopular opion. Lol. I have have eye fatigue issues with HDR too, though.

I also can’t watch 3D for more than 5 minutes without getting a migraine. I don’t know enough about how the display works to know why. Both feel like it is trying to fool my eyes and my brain doesn’t like it. Maybe my eyes/brain get fatigued trying to play along. Some types of HDR seem to bother me more than others. I can watch an HDR movie mostly fine.

Droppped in to post this. Thank you.

Link gives me a 404 on mobile and desktop browsers

Yeah, you could probably replace Guam in that title with literally any place the US military operates.

The rates are limited by the state…

Also a problem where I live. Poison ivy, Lyme disease, and Aedes aegypti: our summer trifecta.

It’s poor people isn’t it?

Yuuup.

A fist bump is a kind of dap, for example…
