lol I was just yesterday saying that I fully expect these to fold and all the content to go back to Netflix where the studios can earn passive income with no more expense than paying their lawyers to write contracts.

Yeah this is a bad post. Thanks for calling it out.

I’m trying go back to ordering directly from merchants rather than use Amazon. You don’t always have a choice though.

It’s fun to watch people react and move on rather than stop and consider.

My prediction is that it all goes back to Netflix when they decide it’s not worth the time and expense to run their own services. They had a nice passive income thing going on there for many years and can have it again if they just license their IP again.

The point is that Amazon would help you out when your stuff was broken, missing, or mistaken. They won’t lift a finger to fix their own errors now.

People surely abused things and rather than take a measured approach, they brought out Thor’s hammer like a bunch of chuds.

Give it time and we’ll all be back on Netflix with all the catalogs available there.

Fortunately it requires effort to come in here with is a barrier for the casual trolls.

Is “a while” 5 - 10 years? We’re not talking about leaving it open for a season, but rather for years and years on end.

Some people would rather earn no money than some money. It’s weird and what happens commonly in Buenos Aires. I think it might be the sunk cost fallacy.

I fear that enough people will keep working that it won’t matter.

If he were a normal person, he’d be drug addicted and homeless.

No shade, and I mean it. But I wonder if you could explain what it was that convinced you that he was smart originally?

I never really understood the interest even from day 1 back in 2009 out wherever. I only used it to shame companies when their support teams wouldn’t help and that only lasted a few years.

I like them because it means I don’t have to talk to people. Sadly they did this only to save on salaries so I guess that I’m ok with them going away since it will create jobs for people.

I remain very unclear at person #2’s point.

I’ve been migrating away from Google, little by little. Drive is my next step, I think.

They are coming out with new cabling standards to allow multi gbps over extended distances. There is still a lot of room for growth. You are right that nothing more is needed for the average use case though.

The single worst decision they made was rolling back the 20% of work time being dedicated to side projects. That’s where all their good early ideas came from. It was replaced by politics instead.

I doubt that it’s worth the loss of your soul for most people, but monkey want shiny is enough for many.

I’ve never really understood why anyone would want to work there, unless it’s really about selling your soul for the pay. They have been known to be a terrible employer from at least the early 1990s, where people famously had cots in their offices and would only go home a couple times a month before releases.

They’d just be burning the money anyway.

Weirder is that you can’t really find usb c mice and keyboards, though I really don’t know why.

K, so I’ll keep my current job and stay home instead I guess?

It’ll end up being something also to do with managers of places that permit wfh being more relaxed than in places that prevent it.

There’s always someone in here to say that both sides are equal.

Thoughts and prayers.

That was class warfare. The judge was looking out for his own kind. Same with the Stanford rape case a few years back.

I didn’t go there, I just assumed endless entitlement and never having to face consequences.

I’m actually ok with this character assassination. He’s clearly not a person who ever really grew or matured.

Dang autocorrect.

I love when people like to complain about how things were better before…before when?

2020 - 2023 has really revealed just how little business leaders really have a clue about anything. They are all high-performers who push and push but don’t really have any idea what is important or not. What we really need is a ban on business bros lol.

I’ll rewrite the headline:

People with more money than sense surprised when celebrated grifter sells them garbage

Why on earth would you invest money into reddit coins?

I was on reddit for 15 years and never once heard of these until people posted articles on Lemmy.

Well I’m already living across the street from a subway station and don’t even want to own a car. This was more based on principle than anything.

You mean in 5-7 years when those devices are completely outdated?

And if available in Europe, do you think that information will not appear elsewhere? Mazda is not going to create a separate API for them alone.
