I agree, however, for my use cases little to none of that quality content came here and I’ve struggled to get it through other channels. My local subreddit I’ve taken a peek at and it’s as active as ever, along with a few others that are top of mind.

I’m glad to have learned about the fediverse but it is, currently at least, something different and I’m disappointed I might work in a quick web based scroll through some key subs.

Honestly the same thing I used to do with Facebook before it became a total and complete wasteland.

I was watching this happen day of for a show in Montreal just recently. There were few seats available for weeks leading up to the show with resale tickets around 200 to 300 CAD a piece, then day of big chunks of non resale seats came available for a fraction of that.

Artificial scarcity. Total and complete scam.

dogebread ,

Expensive but worth it.

Personal Capital or whatever they rebranded to has been generally stable since I left mint a few years ago.

A world where you could picked based on the user experience of the apps instead of slice of content? Sign me up. To hell with that HBO Max app.

I honestly don’t get the hate. People obviously want to order restaurant food to have at home. Maybe they’re watching a series, studying, have kids, are introverts… like who even cares the reason. And they’re willing to pay more. Why not try to accommodate that?

To me it sounds like the issue is UX related (contacting customers) and store related (expediting orders in the best sequence). Neither of those seem like the solution is wishing people wouldn’t use the service.

dogebread ,

Lol.

How is Spotify ruining discovery? Imo they’re absolutely crushing it, I’ve been loving their new DJ feature, used it exclusively on a four our car ride and the mix was awesome, and found a couple new bands. My only complaint is that their recent redesign and navigation patterns are a step down.

Or do you mean in terms of the free plan?

dogebread ,

Many people that did that have careers and families and a general opportunity cost for their time. Ripping CDs is so unbelievably far down on my priority list it doesn’t even register.

dogebread ,

Radio does?! Wow, last I had it on the three pop songs on repeat surrounded by an annoying personality and tons of ads gave me the wrong idea.

dogebread ,

Priority isn’t about LOE.

dogebread ,

This is more UX than UI but the inconsistent volume is a nightmare, adding insult to injury. Everything I want to be equal or quieter is way louder.

dogebread ,

That and the impact. The amount of communism or total and complete anti capitalism without nuance or depth, right or wrong. Reddit was very left, but not like here!

dogebread ,

What?

dogebread ,

Why?

dogebread ,

It sounds like you have a problem with tax rates more than the technology. Are we also fed up with being able to translate web pages with a browser extension?

I don’t see it mentioned so maybe it’s not lesser known, but jackfruit is amazing. SEA like most amazing fruit but have seen it more often in North America. Fresh, not the prepped and sauced vegan style.

Each season was better than the last and it wrapped up really nicely but liking his stuff in general is required. Nothing was better than Vice Principals, imo.

Passenger on Ill-Fated Diarrhea Plane Says Flight Attendants Were Forced to Craft "Makeshift Biohazard Suits" (futurism.com)

On Friday, an international Delta flight bound for sunny Barcelona was forced to U-turn back to its starting point, Atlanta, for an exceedingly rare air travel horror: a passenger had suffered diarrhea throughout the plane’s aisle so extensively that completing the flight was deemed untenable....

It’s been like 15 years for me after a similar situation and 1-2 times a day is no problem, but the window to get to a bathroom is shorter than I once remember, and any kind of stress, particularly in the morning, makes for a bad time (early travel days, etc).

dogebread ,

In Catholicism a communion wafer is quite literally the body of Christ – not symbolic. And Christ, as part of the holy trinity, is literally God. So Catholics do actually believe they’re chomping down God every Sunday morning.

dogebread ,

And the versioning of those textbooks to make sure it can sell for exactly nothing.

dogebread ,

While I agree with the sentiment, what are some examples of the “so much stuff”? The big one for me is the red tape around browsers.

dogebread ,

So you’re saying it’s proportional all the way up and not a big deal, or people love assholes and upvote all their material and comments for greater proportional impact?

If anything I would argue that the first and early adopters are less likely to be assholes, to where eventually you reach that tipping point and move back towards the average, which feels worse in what is a collection of niche communities, because the average engages slightly different content than early adopters.

Moreso, I think it’s just confirmation bias. OP is hyper sensitive to a change in the culture so every example of it weighs a little more.

To be clear, like most things, I don’t think it’s one thing or another; a little from A, a little from B, and probably a slew of other factors.

dogebread ,

It doesn’t sound like it would be a great service to pay for given your needs. But keep in mind these are services, saas, there is no expectation that I, as a customer, will take any of it to the grave with me, and I’m not like… unaware of that fact.

What I get in return is a growing library and the ability to listen to just about anything at no additional cost, some nice features like auto playing similar music after an album or playlist ends, and what I consider a perk of not having a physical or digital library to care for to repurpose that time as I see fit.

Sure, it would be a hugely sad day if Spotify fully fucks me, and there’s plenty I don’t like. But that risk is built into my decisioning, and the value is absolutely there.

New Anti-Consumer MacBook Pros - Teardown And Repair Assessment - Apple Silicon M1/M2 (youtu.be)

No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

Every other post is about how shitty of a company HP is, I’m not sure you’d be winning any integrity points.

dogebread ,

Give it time and they won’t. The desktop redesign they rolled out recently is such a big step in the wrong direction imo. I’m in there everyday and haven’t really “gotten used to it” but sure hope I do.

dogebread ,

What does this mean.

dogebread ,

I doubt it.

dogebread ,

Aren’t some of them just learning to type on an actual keyboard? I thought I read they’re a very mobile-first or mobile-only generation. I think it was in the context of the video game market, indie games, and mobile games.

dogebread ,

Another big obstacle is the general UX of these platforms. Major companies have teams of user experience analysis and researchers that, while not always “winning” as compared to product or business driven decisions, absolutely have a (generally positive) impact on the product. Onboarding, retention, etc.

The fediverse has all the standard frictions of most OSS, like talking about itself, it’s technology, etc when the fact is 99% of users dgaf.

I might go so far as to argue the perceived complexity is a bigger barrier than the risk of sabotage from other businesses. I am optimistic the growing list of third party apps will help solve some of these issues, as long as they take things like the sign up process and server selection into their scope.

dogebread ,

Why isn’t that a link… Is that a Lemmy thing or an instance thing or an app thing? These tiny UX friction points are important for retention.
