They have great uses for entertainment, not so great in any other department sadly.
Damn, lemmy is over here upset that you pay for something you like and use frequently.
YouTube creators have said many times they get a lot more from a premium view compared to a regular one.
Bring back steam skins.
Me mad.
There is almost nothing worse than someone else's tiktok feed playing out loud in the same room you are.
It's insufferable.
Time cancels out.
I work 8.
Typically the state only cares about things they perceive as children.
What do you mean? Quick Google shows that T-Mobile allowed wireless calling back in 2007.
You can create channels for people to join with Steam?
What's a good alternative that allows easy instant message, voice and video calls, and makes it easy to group my friends by game?
The thing is that there are different target groups here that seem to disconnect. The gamers and tech dudes who want/have all the latest hardware and want to play every game maxed out aren't the people affected, yet somehow they're the ones who chime in for these discussions.
My low end thinkpad from 2013 doesn't need windows on it for any reason, so why bother being offended that it now can't have a supported version?
One central server is created. Users finally have an easy time joining lemmy and most are content with staying right where they are. A large amount of content is now centralized to one place. Suddenly, financial interests take notice of a large amount of untapped potential. Caving in to the opportunity to live an easier life under the warm blanket of money, the central server owner sells the server to the highest bidder.
The new central server owner defederates from smaller instances, eventually cutting themselves off from all other lemmy servers. Enshittification begins.
I'm sure there's reasons this couldn't happen but I think the biggest strength of lemmy is having users just randomly pick and then figure it out later. I started out on .world but didn't like their moderation and defederation practices, so I moved.
