Or… A iKeyboard

I will see myself out

This game was it’s year’s sleeper hit for me. It really is good, despite the story being a bit cheesy at times.

I actually didn’t think about it much, because I block all ads. But consumerism can be fun, I wouldn’t mind ads if I had a say in which I see.

Weird how neolibs are proponents of the free market all the time, but at the same time insist on shoving crap we don’t want down our throats. I like your suggestion.

There is no system of precedence for rulings of lower courts in Germany, technically not even for higher courts (albeit there de facto is). That’s something you could find in the U.S. though.

The lower court fucked up and it got overruled. The only thing Sony could have done would have been to bring similar cases to the same lower level court again and again and hope they make the same wrong decision over and over. That’s about the closest thing to precedence they could have relied on. It probably would have worked for Sony though.

They care about one thing only: Money.

Obviously this is more of a strategic retreat and nothing else. It’s also a very common tactic to push for something crass, pull back, wait a bit and repeat. Most commonly resistance gets weaker each time, because people are people.

Now if anyone thinks they made money with a retreat and won’t try again, because it’s obviously much more lucrative, which stone exactly are you living under?

You are 100% correct. Nothing is won till you make it impossible for Google to push forward or destroy their motivation for trying again later.

Don’t you dare say something informed while the circle-jerk is going on.

The art is nice, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that you are spot on and some numbnuts vote you down. Story of the internet.

And because you gotta bring receipts: https://itdm.com/mozilla-firefox-usage-down-85-but-why-are-execs-salary-up-400/2050/

THIS

Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger.

I am sorry to hear that. My cat got diagnosed with a heart condition too recently. It just sucks. I recommend taking a few days off if you can and spending some quality time with your doggo.

I am not sure if you are actually drinking the Kool-Aid or if this is some top tier shit posting. If it’s the latter, kudos to you!

From my point of view nobody is being stopped from using Reddit. That would be a silly undertaking anyway.

If niche communities are on Reddit and the people of those communities are on Reddit, then why shouldn’t you use Reddit for those communities?

I don’t get why this is has to be a decision between Lemmy/kbin and Reddit for some folks. That is what is confusing me a lot. Many posts and topics I read recently seemed (at times desperately) trying to bring users from Reddit to lemmy/kbin. Reddit will get worse, going by the current trend. It will become harder to use for many. Some subs will die due to the lack of moderation tools. But everybody is free to use the service for as long as they want to.

But I am glad you don’t share my opinion in regards to whether or not people seem desperate or set on these services here. Maybe I have been imagining things.

This is so much negativity just within the first paragraphs–and being presented as objective fact to boot

It is my personal opinion. As stated. Personal opinions are - by their nature - not facts and generally not worth much.

My opinion of Reddit has declined a lot over the years. That is absolutely valid and okay. Nobody has to like it.

I assume your opinion about the service is different and that’s why you feel the need to defend it. That’s also valid and I can acknowledge it, even if I don’t share these feelings.

Regardless of my negative opinion on Reddit and their management, I’d appreciate if other people could share what they think. I really don’t get why a good number of people push for mass adoption of lemmy/kbin. If I am too negative for their taste and they don’t feel like sharing, then that’s fine too. It would be nice to hear their viewpoints, but replying to my question is not mandatory.
