- Comment on YouTube Is Hiding Videos From You 3 days ago:
Youtube has been hiding videos from me for years. I'd look at my "Subscriptions" page, and wouldn't see anything new. Then I'd go to the channel's page, and see a few new videos.
That prompted me to start using my RSS reader instead of youtube subscriptions. A more reliable experience, for sure.

- Comment on A Love Letter To Internet Relay Chat 4 days ago:
Sorry no :(
It's an "IRL" friend only thing, and I don't want to associate this account with my real name (My IRC instance has my name tied to it)
But I'd be happy to help you get connected to one of the public servers if you need! :)
- Comment on A Love Letter To Internet Relay Chat 5 days ago:
I <3 IRC
I still run my own server. My friends and I hang out and play with chat bots and send memes and comics back and forth. It's a pretty chill place to hang out, and it's super easy to self-host.
Go take back the web that was taken from you.

Do you mean Subverse? Searching for Subspace is just redirecting me to Subverse, but maybe I'm missing it

I love IRC. I run my own instance where my friends and I hang out. It's super easy, and a lot of fun!

They got a lot of money by selling out their users. They are still getting a lot of money by selling out their users.

What is the gain? What is a single gain you think they have milked from their users?
But nobody pays for Firefox? Do you mean the "recommended pages"?

They get money from Google and advertisements. Did you think Mozilla made it without paying their employees and executives?
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 4 weeks ago:
The costs only ballooned because the companies keep bloating themselves. It's gotten cheaper to make games, but more expensive to run giant companies that pay ludicrus amounts of money to executives.

Money for their executives
- Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed? 4 weeks ago:
Agreed. When I tried Lemmy, it didn't have filters, so that was an immediate no for me. I just don't get the appeal of being fed a list, and not being able to filter out the noise.

- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 4 weeks ago:
Yes. I find a lot of people actually learn what they are talking about before talking about it. I also find that a lot of people read what I write, and address those points, rather than points that I never made.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 4 weeks ago:
And I have a hard time addressing people who refuse to research, and keep arguing against things that I never said.

Do some searching here, on reddit, etc. You'll find it.
Good for the massive waves of people who want to give Mozilla money. They already can https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/?form=donate-header
That's not what I said. I said that they wanted to donate to Firefox, not Mozilla. I find it very telling that Mozilla doesn't let them do that, but insteads forces people to donate to the org, that overpays it's executives.
Oh yeah. I LOVE when my boss tells me that I am going to get paid less but I will be more effective because of it. Oh, wait, no I don't.
Who said that the people who are actually working on Firefox would get paid less? I certainly didn't. I clearly said that the useless executives would get paid less
Honestly? it sounds like you don't care about reality and just care about things being ideologically pure for you with the expectation that it will all work out. So... maybe try to educate yourself on any of all this before trying to have a discussion about it?
I have. But you clearly didn't read what I posted. If you aren't going to address the things that I wrote, why comment?
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 4 weeks ago:
The userbase does want to give them money though. I constantly hear people say that they want to donate to Firefox, but Mozilla doesn't let them do that.
Also, I never said that Patreon would give them more money. It would be less money, but it would be more effective, as they could finally ditch the worthless exectutives that keep draining Mozilla's resources.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 4 weeks ago:
I feel like I'm mis-understanding your argument. Are you saying that Mozilla can't do things that other groups are already successfully doing, because "The popular people make too much money" doing it, and "They are already getting that via the Mozilla Foundation"?
That doesn't make sense to me.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 4 weeks ago:
But these executives clearly don't have the right skills, so they should get less pay.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 4 weeks ago:
But they have a strong history of paying a lot for CEOs that don't have the right skills and connections. It's not just this one, it's a systemic issue for them.
