I fucking hate their advertising! Also I think all these “as cheap as possible, as fast as possible” stores are a cancer. The lower prices are not because they have lower margins, but because they pay the people who make/deliver your product less.
I thought I saw an anouncement somewhere that some people from that sub moved to lemmy… Maybe search for it again.
That does sound really comfy.
My thought exactly every time the little nagware window pops up in sublime text (obviously from the same creators as sublime merge).
“Would I like to pay for this awesome piece of software? Yes. Do I have the money for that right now? No.”
“Main character energy” is a great way to put it. If I came across someone wearing these I’d have some assumptions…
Isn’t it free if you’re okay with using it in light mode?
I mostly use the CLI but when I used to use PyCharm the JetBrain git GUI was the shit. The closest to it in a standalone program I’ve seen is maybe sublime merge, which is also great.
Reality and evidence were never really something they were concerned with…
Yes. “The internet never forgets” is actually a thing.
I was only lurking on reddit. Here I’m trying to help make the place feel alive by also commenting and engaging. So far I’m really enjoying the experience and I’m not looking back. Also yes, I feel like I do spend a bit more time on lemmy, but it might just be the novelty.
Okay… it was, though.
I think it’s extremely hard to tell what people would prioritize. If you aks them hypothetically, everyone probably is some green warrior for mother earth. But then when push comes to shove, the industry will give them the choice between a flagship phone, glued all around, and a phone with a removable battery with all the greatest specs from five years ago. Of course many will chose the glued ond, and then some people will be like “welp, the free market has decided”. 🤷
So you think your average MBA holder would not go the “extract short term value at all cost” route? Because it feels like they would. Maybe it’s more of a “the wrong people making it to the top” problem.
Very cool! I used to think that no one would care when researchers would protest these things by striking. But I guess anything that hurts the well oiled money making machine that is modern academia (not for researchers though, of course) gets noticed. Seeing it done for real is great, and even more so that it was successful!
The machine needs to be fed.
Sure, and nobody would blame them if they simply tried to create a sustainable business with positive cashflow. The type of capitalism that is referenced here is the one where you squeeze every last penny out of the platform and would even sell your users trust, which your long term profit relies upon, if it means higher numbers in your quarterly report.
5-6 hours seems excessive… If you have other issues that are the root cause, maybe deal with those first, but if it’s a self-control issue (which it was for me sometimes) there are great browser plugins to block certain sites after a certain amount of time. I use LeechBlock for firefox and after my “self allotted time” it locks down reddit and lemmy for me so I can’t access it any more. There are similar plug ins for other browsers, I can really recommend it!
Ps: But to answer your original question, from an ideological standpoint, definitely stay on lemmy.
“Oh No Ross and Carrie” They go participate in all kinds of “fringe science” or spiritual stuff and report on it in a very funy but, in my opinion, largely respectful way.
