it was different mega corps running every facet of your life.

It is a completely different ball game in 2024 and you’d have to be blind to not see it. The power and influence companies have in 2024 dwarfs what any company had in the '70s. Especially with the adevnt of the Internet. So I’m sorry there’s just no comparison here. It may have been tough for a lot of people, but like you said, they had a chance to rebuild. People barely even have a chance to get started these days.

The cost of living is still outrageous compared to then even when you adjust for inflation. There also weren’t the same mega corps running every facet of your life while providing the cheapest crap that will never last

I’ll wait when i see an actual product. I’ve been hearing about the wonders of graphene for the better part of a decade at least now.

I seriously do not understand why f Droid has the worst client I have ever used in the world. Like why is the official one. So fucking bad. It’s impossible to find shit on there. It’s impossible to update things. It turns me off to complete using it all together.

Lol lemme pay for something i can get free.

Maybe separate beds near each other? Or honestly maybe dog one is just looking for a little personal space. It may not be the worst to let him go off and just sleep alone instead of letting their sibling follow them.

It was definitely more akin to one of those awful phone lines where you have to say something to progress than someone pressing buttons

I ran into an AI order taker at a checkers. It was very weird and generally a bad experience

On the flip side of you i hate un dismissable notifications. And i especially hate a crowded notification area. So your use case would drive me insane. Sorry its borked your usage but for me being able to dismiss everything is great

It really isnt bad? Like easier navigation on a phone is always a welcome change.

Feels like harry and the hendersons

Dolomite is my name

Because that means some developers are being arbitrarily charged at 30% fee basically. In Google has iterated over and over again that they don’t really want to negotiate it yet. For some reason they were willing to make a secret deal with Spotify?

Yes I do.

Sportsurge.net

Idk if it has good soccer stuff but its never let me down on anything else.

Rooting is the best way to ensure you have more privacy and security on your phone. Nobody listen to this guy cause they clearly have no idea what they are talking about.

Which is short-sighted.

The studios did not have to build their own services. And a lot of them willingly pulled their shows from places like Netflix to build their own services. And there was enough players in the game at the time when Netflix began dropping a shows that someone else like prime or hulu was willing to spend a lot of money to pick them up.

From my point of view, even if overall it was potentially less money. That doesn’t factor in just the cost of operating your own content. They have to hire a whole new division to develop the website and app and streaming service and pay all those people. Or they could have just sold it to someone else to do all that work. And said we know what we have. We know you want friends on your service. Lol.

And even on top of that studios had no idea how lucrative streaming services were going to be. So they should have just renegotiated better contracts for the content they were selling. A lot of them ended as it was which is when they got pulled from places like Netflix. And I absolutely guarantee you Netflix would have been able to pay way more for something like Parks and rec or the office if they wanted to. Because Netflix knows just a sheer numbers game on those types of shows.

I just for the life of me cannot understand why all these companies thought it was a good idea to invest the time, money, resources, infrastructure, maintenance, and so many other things into developing their own service. Instead of just pawning off their content to some other sap who has to do all that shit for you. And making them pay you a pretty penny because you know they want your content. It’s just such incredible short-sightedness from companies that are constantly just chasing the biggest dollar. Like if anyone thought about it for a minute, all these companies would see that it wasn’t worth it to develop these services. They got scared cuz Netflix made some of its own good content. But realistically, if they just calm down they would have realized that Netflix can’t make bangers forever. And they’re still going to be invested in buying content from you. These big company should have gotten together and figured out how to reduce the price of cable so people fucking sign up for it and keep watching the mass amount of fucking ads.

A chemical that you just spray on the ground and it kills them. sounds about right that it would cause some problems
