Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base'
  • I'm still happy that I went through the effort to delete all my old posts when I left Reddit a while back. I periodically check if they've restored them and luckily it hasn't happened so far. I do miss some of the bigger communities but overall I'm having a good time on Lemmy.

  • Brutal
  • Alright I'll bite, give me some examples of good shows with multiple layers of storytelling, interesting characters and engaging story telling that were made in the last five years. And as I've said in another comment, I know there's still some good ones out there (The Boys, Gen V, Blue eye samurai, Better call Saul, After life), my point is that it feels like there's less of these while the total amount of shows has only increased over time.

  • Brutal
  • There are still some good shows left but it definitely feels like more of a challenge to find them then before. I haven't watched regular TV shows in ages because most of it is crap nowadays. The last one I can vividly remember watching whenever it came out was Castle and I even quit watching that after 1 or 2 seasons.

    There's almost no original story telling in shows anymore, it all just feels the same. The only standout shows I can remember watching last year were Blue eye samurai and the Boys. Everything else is just a bit of a blur.

  • Brutal
  • I love House, most jokes in that show are very funny and a bit scathing but at least they make fun of everyone and everything. Much better than nowadays, where most comedy is very plain and safe.

  • YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker
  • I know right? Executives just never seem to get that you actually need to provide value to have people want to sign up for it. Saying that though, there's a lot of dumb consumers out there that just pay for it if needed.

  • Dutch gov't wants to ban officials from using AI software
  • Judging by the average tech saviness of a government worker (baby boomer that's against any form of technology) this is probably a good thing. They'd throw in sensitive information in a heartbeat.

    Gaza hospital bombed: Health Ministry says death toll in Gaza City hospital blast caused by Israel strike rises to at least 500
  • There's already been 2 terrorist attacks in Europe and based on the evacuations of public spaces in France it seems like it's only the start. I'm not sure if it's all because of the war (the attack in Brussels seems to be more related to ISIS according to the news) but it sure seems like it's gotten a lot more frequent since it really kicked off last week.

  • This whole conflict has just always felt like a massive grey area as an outsider. Both sides have done horrible things over the years, with the retaliation often being even worse. Most governments (including mine) are actually supporting both sides, for example through humanitarian aid. That's just kind of weird when you think about it, in a way they're enabling both sides to keep going. And I just don't know if there's any way out of this besides one side completely destroying the other. Peace talks have been had so many times and it just doesn't lead anywhere. It just feels inevitable.

  • Youtube ads finally got me
  • I wouldn't mind paying a little bit of money every month to get YouTube ad free. However, it costs €12 a month. That's a lot of money if you only care about getting rid of ads. I personally don't need the other features (downloading videos, background play and YouTube music). If they added a 5 to 7 euro a month tier through which you could get rid of ads then that would be much more interesting to me. Now I just feel like I should keep looking for ways around their pop up shenanigans.

  • Nissan To Launch Only EVs In Europe From Now On, Drop ICEs By 2030
  • Wow that car looks petty neat. I always thought the Leaf was a pretty decent EV (and one of the first more well known ones) and it felt like they never really innovated on it too much. Perhaps this is finally the point where they start doing that again.

  • Arson turns Amazon reforestation project to ashes
  • Nope, it feels like most people are too far gone for that and they'll never accept it. All thanks to these dumb politicians that took bribes to cover it up for years and years. Thanks for making our futures so much worse...
