How is this even legal? So now suddenly every chromium extension has to go through a play store style review? How is Google entitled to do this on their competitor’s browsers?

1. Perhaps 2024 will be the year of the girlfriend

2. Making money over the summer and upgrading to a faster motorcycle

I’ve had assignments that involve editing a PDF template. So far, LibreOffice Draw has worked for me.

This community is about mildly infuriating: The little stuff that triggers us.

You mean rent premium (it’s a subscription of course)

Forza Horizon 4 did this but worse. It would be an unskippable 2 minute video ad ignoring your volume settings. It only played 5 times in my 45 hours of gameplay but it was so damn unacceptable that it’s reminding me to give that game a negative review.

Forza Horizon 5 does not do this. Get that game or something else instead.

They should allow premium users to use third party YouTube clients using an API, like Reddit before Spez’s war on third party apps.

A motorcycle is cheap, fuel-efficient, and fun.

I used that for a while specifically because of that feature. But I switched to uBlock origin when I found out it could block those autoplaying videos as well.

It is currently overhyped and so much of it just seems to be copying the same 3 generative AI tools into as many places as possible. This won’t work out because it is expensive to run the AI models. I can’t believe nobody talks about this cost.

Where AI shines is when something new is done with it, or there is a significant improvement in some way to an existing model (more powerful or runs on lower end chips, for example).

This doesn’t tell the whole story. It seems like the aggregate cost of Kimberly Clark products fell by $75M. But perhaps the diapers did increase in cost? Further analysis is needed.

This might be a hot take here, but I’d be open to instances running a limited number of ads with minimal tracking to generate enough revenue to keep the instance afloat.

It’s why I did use the official Reddit app at first when I started using Reddit. They can’t bleed money forever. But when they kept making the app worse and worse and worse that’s when I switched to third party apps. And after they killed those, I didn’t have any sympathy for Reddit because I was sick of their continued greed.

That is two very different things. One is a terrorist group, the other are just humans trying to live their lives in safety. Same with Israel. The people are humans trying to live their lives in safety, but Netenyahu is incredibly corrupt and reports show that he is secretly propping up Hamas.

I’ve never had premium, mostly out of spite after the forcing ads on unmonetized creators and removing the dislike count, once I was able to afford it. But I’ve seen some other post on Lemmy with the “products you may like” appearing on a premium account.

I’ve seen people getting a “products you may like” in the suggestions, with premium. There is no way to remove that (other than uBlock origin)

It’s not just that, it’s also random content totally outside of your interest (I watch gaming and motorcycle content and it tries to feature some foreign holiday celebration videos lol) and worse, “products you may like.”

If I pay this kind of money, I expect an API to user-respecting third party apps.

That’s what they should do. Allow use of Reddit-style third party apps (before the API debacle) for premium users.

It’s not about paying, it’s about still getting these stupid featured pop-ups after paying.

This is the true reason why I don’t have YouTube premium. This is quite an awful experience for a supposedly premium subscription. Why pay for premium if the experience is better using free methods?

Please corporations, treat paying subscribers well.

Small security updates when necessary would be fine, but all the time I just see software (especially with the web) be like, we’re deprecating these features (that millions of websites use).
