I watch a lot of movies, usually around 150+ per year. Apple offers one newish movie as the .99 rental per week which I’m happy to pay for but when they come asking for $25 for a digital rental for the rest of the new stuff… Get the fuck outta here.

It’s crazy that I can subscribe to Spotify and get virtually the entire history of music but video services have completely fractured the model into tiny shards. I will continue to watch my 150+ movies a year whether the studios want to offer a reasonable price or not.

The lawsuit is 5 billion, whatever they settled for is going to be a lot less.

Eh, I used to think like that, there was a time when it was popular to hate on U2. But really there are a lot of legitimate assholes out there who are actively making the world a worse place. His philanthropy is aggressive and attention seeking but the receipts are there and I’d much rather have someone channel all this energy and platform into pro-human rights than anti which is becoming increasingly popular these days.

I mean it really was a single wave. V4 or whatever version it was fundamentally changed the way Digg worked in a big way overnight. It wasn’t even the same thing anymore. Sure there were some holdovers but it’s tough to compare the two like this.

With the exception of third party apps, Reddit still more or less works the same for the average user as it has forever.

Good god, finally. I can’t believe this wasn’t an option from the start.

Lemmy, can we do better? I came here to hang out with a scrappy new community of people excited about cool shit. Instead it’s a bunch of people bitching about Reddit and X. C’mon let’s make this place fun and exciting.
