  • Youtube is past the growth phase, at this point it's about minimising cost and maximising revenue.

    If you regularly use it with adblock but decide to stop using it because of this, then youtube would have succeeded. You weren't making them money and were costing them bandwidth, so good riddance.

    If you really want to stick it to them, turn on adblock, find some long videos and play them on mute in the background at 4K/1080p60 resolution. Cost them even more bandwidth.

    Even better, start randomly disliking videos or making nonsensical comments (not hateful or toxic ones, just comments that don't make sense). Enshittify it further.

  • Have you or your parents never used a phone book to look up businesses and ended up calling A1 Plumbing, AAA locksmith, etc?

  • Interesting... I switched away from Samsung and actually hated stock Android!

    • I actually preferred One UI to the standard pixel, mainly because Google ruined the quick settings - they made each button unnecessarily big, and turning on/off the wifi requires two taps instead of one now (Internet > Wifi). That's something I can't change without rooting.
    • Some Samsung stock apps are actually a great alternative to the android ones (I use Samsung Notes a ton). The only downside is they force you to download it through their own app store.
    • Samsung doesn't really have much bloat now, and the few pieces of bloat i found could be uninstalled
    • Samsung is still the only phone manufacturer with triple camera setups in a small flagship phone

    Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect, but the issues I had with Samsung were solvable (e.g. uninstalling bloat is a one-time thing) while the annoyances I've had with a Pixel aren't solvable (quick settings, no third camera).

  • BE NICE.

    It's ok to have different opinions, it's not ok to insult others.

  • So basically, bosses can't deal with the fact that they can't step out of their room and yell at people, and therefore still want to inconvenience everyone.

  • MOD NOTE: BE NICE.

    It's ok to disagree, it's not ok to insult or threaten other posters with violence.

  • I mean, trump was crazy to suggest injecting bleach, but maybe eating it on a side salad helps with covid?

    NLRB Complaint Calls a Noncompete Agreement an Unfair Labor Practice

  • But the whole “Have your boss or subordinate over for dinner” BS was never my thing.

    TBH I truly think it was a boomer invention that died in the 80s, because nobody I know ever did anything like this willingly.

    That was for a different time and era when company loyalty was a thing. When you intended to work for a company for decades, forming relationships with your boss actually meant something.

    Nowadays employees are just disposable assets, so why bother forming deep bonds with your coworkers?

  • For a site filled with users who are more tech-savvy than the average person, I'm surprised there is such a big dichotomy in views here. Or maybe it's just one or two really vocal individuals.

    I think everyone is agreed that the site is a cesspool that deserves to die. The issue is that getting ISPs to voluntarily block sites based on advocacy is bad. As the provider of a "digital human right", ISPs should NOT get to decide who gets their service and who doesn't.

    The EFF isn't supporting hate groups. What they're saying is that an ISP block is a dangerous precedent.

  • you can't use power delete anymore. sort your own posts by top (all time), and manually change the useful ones.

  • what are those things?

  • The only thing I did was use adblock to disable the red speech symbol for chat lol. Never even used it!

  • Also, we don’t necessarily need a big userbase. Just a good active one. More is not necessarily better in my opinion.

    Unfortunately, the main benefit of having a large userbase is that you can always find a community for any obscure interest you have! That's not really the case with lemmy now.

  • but I must admit I still don’t participate here as much because the content I’m seeing it’s not as tailored to my interests as I’d like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless

    yeah that's the unfortunate thing about a smaller site! but the onus is on all of us to start participating, so even if you see an empty community, just post something in there!

  • would prefer free market solns where the state has to abide by the rules of the people

    you mean like facebook? haha!

  • you can try selecting "don't recommend this channel" on some of the more radical ones!

  • because reddit was a firehose of low-effort posts. A lot of times if you don't reply quick enough your post gets buried under 100 other witty puns and nobody ever reads it.

    "Nobody wants to work anymore" has been used to deflect wage inequality over the years.

    This system is clearly broken.

  • You Should Know @lemmy.world

    YSK - X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5.
