I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.

Dbzero seemed good until they mentioned anarchism and anti-right-wing directives which means it’s a leftist-first instance and that’s a no-go even if I do support their cause.

Back in 2014 you just bought a spare and replaced it, nowadays they all want to play the same bullshit games Apple innovated on. It was was about time an authority that ruled over a market with significant purchasing power made a decision against it.

You paid $100 for a battery replacement!?!? My Galaxy S7’s second battery cost us $12!

Wasn’t it hosted in Finland? Or have things changed?

I enjoyed helping this place grow and doing my part to discuss here but I disagree with this decision and I’m going to evaluate looking for a different home instance.

Boo hoo, I am so stressed! I can only fly in a gold plated private jet instead of a rhodium plated one. The west has fallen, trillions must fly

That yellow background is so unreadable 🍌

I’ve been buying Sony headphones because they sound great for the price but they ALWAYS fail at the same plastic left ear hinge within 1 year or usually less. No more.

Even if it was, it’s a red herring. Lemmy is AGPLv3 licensed to ensure you will always have the liberty of knowing whether a malicious instance is doing shady things with the source code.

most of stack overflow, IT subreddits and SEO content farms that regurgitate stack overflow data summed up in two sentences.

Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.

Sadly people will still jump there. It will eventually overtake Mastodon in numbers because people are dependent on the convenience of walled gardens.

You’re not the only one, I’m experiencing empty screens and mysteriously missing content routinely on half of page loads and I need to keep refreshing to have content.

My respects to you. I really think websites and software in general need to have efficiency in mind again. Webapps should use as few resources as possible, save people’s time, their money and the planet.

Seems to work good enough!

It already did since 2 years ago, random “unverified content” bullshit login walls on popular/valuable advice, tens of megabytes of Javascript that took long to load on intermittent/unstable connections and terrible UI in general.

It’s been fascinating to watch the corporate web ecosystem that rose in the late 2000s slowly start to collapse.

So pretty much useless sadly
