The day they announced their rebrand was the last day I bought anything from them. I refuse to give them any more money on principle. If they can shell out nearly a half billion on a rebrand, they can drop some of their prices.
Any thoughts on this OP or is this more "let me just link this everywhere and not actually give any discussion about it myself" links are so prevalent on lemmy lately.
Any synopsis? Or is this just to drive clicks to your blog?
This community seems to be inundated with just random links with no actual information added as to why I should want to click it, or what is actually at the link.
This is a prime example. It's simply a link to a blog, with "Free Public Wifi" as the title. Literally nothing else. No synopsis, no information as to why I should want to click it, or read whatever is written. Just an ambiguous title linking to an ambiguous blog.
Of course it's also cross-posted to as many other communities as possible.
Thank you, I am quickly getting quite sick of people just link bombing communities without adding anything to say what the links actually are or do. There should be rules around it. I already block bots (which doesn't seem to work) I guess it's time to start blocking other accounts that do this.
That's why it's stated in the Lemmy docs to use an image host instead of uploading directly. Unfortunately, most users don't do that.
That's on you, not the internet or google. As has been pointed out, dot al is a TLD for a country. Just because you can't type properly and didn't spell check yourself, doesn't mean the internet is doomed.
You're right, I have zero posts so far, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make there though. Perhaps you think everyone should keep posting the same thing ad nauseam?
As soon as I find "something I want to discuss" I'll be sure to post it. Until then I'll just keep browsing past the same things that keep being posted time and again here.
Rest assured, nothing will change for you
If I had a dollar for every time I've read that, only to have everything change 6-12 months later, I'd be rich.
Is there some award for being the very last person to post this in this community or something? This has been discussed to death about a dozen times already.
Why is crap from 2 weeks ago being posted like it's new news yet again
Is this one of those bot accounts that aren't marked properly or is OP just after karma (which doesn't exist on this site).
Don’t have any real evidence to substantiate this,
Then why post it and spread FUD?
Seriously shit like this is ridiculous and should get you banned. I can make shit up with no evidence as well, but it does no one any good.
I have a couple, including the one running my lemmy instance I'm posting this from. They've all been pretty good for me. I don't push any of them hard or anything, but I've not had any problems.
It seems the same things keep being posted multiple times, usually by bots. I have blocked bots, but they still show. It's gotten to the point I've had to start blocking them, and users the post the same things that have already been posted here multiple times.
Get rid of them I say.
I have bots blocked and they still show up in comments. I think it only blocks bots from main posts.
I don't personally mind this particular bot, but most of them are annoying so I block them all.
Corsair intends to keep Drop as a separate brand within the company
I'll give that about 6 months before they "have to merge" and the layoffs begin.
Your definition of emergency communication is way off. Sure you can use some app for training for that situation, however it's the least reliable way to get communications out in an actual emergency where others are actually going to hear and respond to it.
The best communications in an emergency, are those that are the most widely used. Which would be voice first, CW second. Having to carry around a phone, to use some app that someone else has to be actively listening to using another phone that is held up to a handheld, is not how I would want to be doing things in an actual emergency.
I also wouldn't rely on vara during an actual emergency. Sure a it's fun to play like using vara or a ht held up to a phone is going to help in any way during an emergency, but if you are relying on them, you are doing it wrong. I certainly wouldn't want my life to depend on them.
seems awesome for recreational and emergency communication
In an emergency, using voice or CW will be heard by a lot more people, and understood by them a lot easier, more reliably, and better than having to have an app on both ends.
Don't get me wrong, it's cool tech (after I figured out what it actually is), but it should not be presented as useful in an emergency. In an actual emergency, the last thing that should be done is flaffing around with an app on the phone, and making sure someone on the other end happens to have the app installed as well.
After their crypto crap, this doesn't surprise me one bit.
And don't give me that "You can disable the crypto" the fact is, you shouldn't have to because it shouldn't have ever been included in the first place.
