- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 10 months ago:
Exactly. The app developers were willing to make changes but they didn’t give them nearly enough time to do it. They dropped the changes at the last-minute and then lied about what they and the developers said in their private conversations. Then they got mad at the Apollo dev for recording it to cover their ass. It’s like getting mad at your partner when you cheated on them lol.
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 11 months ago:
I use mine everyday. I listen to music, podcasts, and sometimes watch videos at work, basically the entire time I’m working. I usually have my phone connected and charging at the same time through the charge port. Wireless charging doesn’t work because of my Pop Socket.
They also break or I lose them in occasion and it takes a quick trip to any gas station, grocery store, or basically any nearby store during my lunch break, and I’m able to pick up replacements for $10-$20.
Fair to say, I refuse to buy my next phone without headphone jacks. I do use wireless headphones for when I’m working out, but otherwise, at work or on walks, I use wired ones connected to my headphone jack.

Yes! I loved this old subreddit. I hope someone can post a bunch of those pictures from over there here over time.

Nice you basically got it all figured out. Thanks for contributing! =D
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Great idea! Lemmy needs more content. I recommend you don’t dump it all at once because it looks like spam. That’s why people don’t like the Reddit posting bots like lemmit. Maybe once a day or twice a day, extend it out a while and gives time for people to comment on them.

Oh I remember this subreddit! I’m glad it’s here now.

Same, didn’t even know it was still going. Guess I’ll have to re-watch at some point as well.

- Comment on Chinese programmer ordered to pay 1m yuan for using virtual private network 1 year ago:
I’ve heard of it, but have only ever heard of that being used on people who are carrying straight cash, because only drug dealers do that I guess… /s
Like you said, for white collar crime or corporate , I’ve never heard of it being used.
- Comment on Chinese programmer ordered to pay 1m yuan for using virtual private network 1 year ago:
Tbh, while in this case I think it’s egregious because I don’t think using a VPN should actually be a crime, I’d love to see that punishment system used in the US.
Imagine if instead of paying fines for illegal stuff and then continuing to ignore the laws, Facebook, X, and other rich people and corporations had to pay back all the income made from doing their illegal activity.
- Comment on Mastodon actually has 407K+ more monthly users than it thought 1 year ago:
I only have the same issue with Mastadon that I do with Lemmy, I have no idea what instance to join. This one I’m apart of now for Lemmy I randomly joined when the admin said he’d accept reddit refugees who wanted to try out Lemmy.
If anyone has any suggestions for goof instances to pick I’d give Mastadon a try. Otherwise, it’s a nightmare for people like me (who’s been compared to Chidi from The Good Place in terms of my overthinking and decision making).
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
The US does send something like billions in monetary and military aid over there which could be spent here so it does kind of affect us over here, but other than that, I agree.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
On the other hand, that is within a human lifetime and they’re still expanding their settlements today. It’s not like the bad stuff just happened to people 75 years ago then stopped.
But I wish Israel didn’t help create Hamas. It would be much preferable for a more secular force to help Palestinians that I could put my support in. No one wants to support terrorists, but now Hamas is basically their only option, which sucks. I don’t even like reading about the stuff over there now, it’s all sad and there’s no good solution.

Don’t forget basically all the country lines in Africa, although that was Europe’s fault as a whole.

I always love seeing more communities and I like that you added related ones!
- Comment on Great news — social media is falling apart 1 year ago:
Lol so true. Once you block them, you just see the comments of people mad at them without any of the context and it’s just so annoying.
- Comment on Great news — social media is falling apart 1 year ago:
They tend to come from the same instances, so it’s pretty easy to block actually, especially after the next Lemmy update comes out. Block hexbear and Lemmygrad and you already got almost all of them. You can do that with certain mobile apps.

Isn’t this sort of still happening? I’m surprised the movie is so soon.
- Comment on Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft | First Look | Netflix 1 year ago:
I agree. She deserved at least one more movie imo.

I had no idea that American Dad episode was a parody of a real roast. That makes it even better lol.
- Comment on Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough” 1 year ago:
They did seem to kind of lose focus on Pierce as time went time on. In the beginning he was a rich out of touch guy, but would give good advice every now and then still or a word of wisdom from his age. But then, the same thing happened to Britta, who got dumber as the show went on, and Chang, who got crazier as the show went on. It might just be a result of the same Flanderization.

- Comment on Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud 1 year ago:
Hopefully this spurs someone to go to the CFPB or something and sue. These companies need to stop pulling this retroactive change bullshit, like Unity, Wizards, ad now Hue.
- Comment on Journalist asks GM CEO Mary Barra about $29 million paycheck after UAW strike — On average, the Detroit Three's CEOs are making 40 percent more today than they did four years ago 1 year ago:
To be honest, I think it is good that we’re starting to see the conversation reframed from that of a consumer to that of a worker. People need to learn to think of themselves that way, not as pure consumers. Maybe it’ll spread to also being nicer to waiters and stuff like that.
- Comment on Unity apologises. 1 year ago:
I would say so. They’re front page is way different, and, in my opinion, worse now. Not sure if it’s made a noticeable difference to their customer base, but from a consumer standpoint 100%.

- Comment on Is Netflix's One Piece good? 1 year ago:
Think it’ll work as another feel-good, pleasant background show we can put on when we don’t feel like serious dramas? Right now we use The Great British Bake Off and The Good Place as that.
