Steps forward are few and far between these days, I’ll take what I can get.

Give my best to Putin.

We used to call this Club Duvet.

Are there still really a lot of 45’s in circulation?

Old people.

At the time it was basically Reddit for stupid people. All of those people moving to Reddit was the beginning of Reddit’s long slow decline.

And monetized it and completely mismanaged it to shit to the point the whole user base migrated to Reddit.

That’s not an experience I’m willing to pay for in its current form. But I could definitely see a path for it to become one, thanks for putting it on my radar.

I’m okay except for the walled garden part. I get referred to articles in many ways, none of them in Apple News. If I can ever log into the actual publications sites with my Apple ID and get the article, then I’m on.

Yeah that’s what I used for the first 6 months to try it out.

Ffffffffff

The new thing will just be fascists making the run up to another world war. The old is new again.

I used Kagi for a few months when other engines failed. It did come through a few times. But paying $5 a month to get one extra good search result per month was a hard sell for me. If they offered a much much smaller package of lime 20-50 searches per month or just pay as you go, I’d definitely be in.

I’d say their decision making was mostly forced by their drop in ad revenue and subscriptions forced by the internet.

Though I do wish that someone would make a Spotify for news so that I could pay once and get access to all of them and at least give them 10 cents per article or something, because I will never pay the subscription cost any are asking.

As much as I’d like to support them, the price to utility ratio is way the fuck off at the prices they ask now.

Wow, even mafia behavior. Hardcore.

As much as I hate the US hegemony, the only path to world peace in the past has been when there is one or maybe 2 dominant powers. The more multipolar the world becomes, the more war breaks out all over the place.

And if we must have a hegemon and our choices are the US, Russia, or China, I will take the US. Though I would take the EU over all of them if they could muster the unity to pull it off.

I’m just honored I hogged up 3 whole replies when thousands are out there waiting!! I’d best release you to your adoring public.

You are not Lemmy, and Lemmy is not you. But maybe I was too harsh in saying it’s not important.

IMHO Lemmy should be fun, not a responsibility. ITT if it starts to become a burden, you should just relieve yourself of the burden by pressing the mark done button.

But having fun is also important, so I take that back. And you are important to me, Stamets, but you are not Lemmy, and Lemmy is not you.

solid ass snake

Nothing on Lemmy is important ;-)
