  • Greta Thunberg Was Headed for Gaza Before Boat Was Attacked by Israeli Drones, Activists Say

    Jump

  • The rest of the world is not USA my man, my country has at least 10 political parties that go anywhere from progressive to conservative and being "right wing" can still mean they have ideas that support the environment or human rights.

    We're not all like the USA where you can choose between "the right" and the "ultra right" wing party.

    There are right wing parties here that support Gretas ideas. And left wing parties that disagree with her.

    I can completely understand her "both sides are bad" point since politics are wildly different in the EU from the US. We have actually choice here where as the US is just voting for the lesser evil (or the greater evil in case of Trump lol).

  • Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop

    Jump

  • Yeah.. I dont see this happening. Android has 99% shovelware crap. I dont see how any professional would be able to use Android instead of Windows, MacOS or Linux.

    Android is garbage, and I'm saying this as an android user... The moment a serious Linux alternative is here for phones I'm gone (yes I'm aware Android is technically also "Linux").

    Just a few examples: the file system is a mess, good luck trying to easily save on network drives. There is no decent office suite and again using the files system to save documents in Android is a shitshow. There are Adobe products but they're all watered down shitty versions of the desktop ones, the alternatives are even worse. Around every corner google tries to push it's shitty cloud subscriptions, the telemetry is insane even compared to windows.

    No Android is definitely not the future chromebooks were a mess too. And knowing Google they'll just give up on anything they don't seem profitable enough so even if they tried on desktop they'll just pull the plug after 2 years.

    If people complain about Linux being hard... give android a try as desktop OS it's probably 10x worse. At least Linux comes with a decent office suite and decent networking capabilities.

  • Trump Has Officially Shrunk the U.S. Economy Already After Tariff Turmoil

  • Are you sure it wasn't the Romans in 27BC who were to blame?

  • Its pretty idiotic too. What's the point in having a karma system if you're just going to ban anyone who you disagree with.

  • Yeah but at least the platform is decentralised meaning you can still move your stuff to a better instance.

    On reddit you can do no such thing. Lemmy is definitely not perfect but still miles better than reddit.

  • New York moves to shutter Tesla dealerships in blow to Musk

    Jump

  • A dealership (or that's how it works here) is obligated to sell x amount of cars (usually same brand or at least same group). They will just be sent the cars whether they sell them or not. So in a worst case scenario the franchise ends up with shitty cars no one wants and has to dump them on the market for shit prices.

    The result is often that cost of maintaining a vehicle at a dealership is through the roof because they don't have a healthy margin on new cars (or even lose money on them).

    They also have very idiotic requirements at times to even become a dealer. Although supposedly they have loosened requirements and rules since no one wanted to be a dealership anymore here.

  • New York moves to shutter Tesla dealerships in blow to Musk

    Jump

  • Yeah, even here in Europe most places that sell cars gave up their dealerships.

    It's a shitty business model that makes no sense for the owner.

  • They don't want people to use it. They want Google to give them a big bag of money so they can integrate it into chrome.

  • Elon Musk is going back to Tesla. But is it too late to reverse the damage he’s done? | CNN Business

    Jump

  • Seeing how things went the past 10 years i think people will have forgotten about musk by August and then the tesla shares and sale will rise to unforseen heights.

    I hope I'm wrong but I seriously doubt it.

  • I still don't get why people are moving to yet another centralised platform (bluesky is not truly decentralized).

    No matter how much someone agrees or disagrees with the lemmy devs, the platform is decentralized and they can't really enshittify it.

  • When a regular person makes something available that shouldnt be behind a paywall to begin with it's stealing. When a billionaire or company uses ai to gather data from paid sources or just straight out plagiarises it's just maximising profits.

    Synology restricts choice of hard disks for new Plus NAS

    Jump

  • Is that really an alternative though? I bought a synology because I don't want to spend hours and hours configuring shit, only for it to break after an update. I fiddled around with proxmox, truenas etc. But it's a hassle. I absolutely believe that DIY is the way to go if you have the time for it though.

    I hate what synology is doing and seeing where most companies are heading I'm pretty sure the enshittification won't stop at using their own branded HDDs. But I just want a solution that works. As shitty as this move by synology is for me its still cheaper to spend 30 euros more on a drive and have a hassle free solution then screwing around with DIY solutions.

    Please prove me wrong though.. I'm trying to rid myself of big tech and have been pretty successful so far (linux, self hosting, no more streaming subscriptions etc.). If anyone knows of a better solutions that had synology drive like function and hyper backup like function with a minimal maintenance OS I'm all for it.

  • Well... they went the enshittification route and they keep on censoring more and more. One of their latest stunts is that they're going to implent an age check by making a video of you.

    Yeah sorry but that is very privacy invasive. I'm all for trying to catch predators and shit but I'm not giving away my privacy for it.

    As an added bonus they're more and more ads so they can link all that juicy data you send them to a profile.

  • The problem with Matrix to me is that it is simply too unstable. I can open it up on any device and half the messages won't load or are corrupted. Media won't show at all. In contrast Lemmy has been super reliable and "just works", so going from reddit to lemmy was no problem at all. And the communities are great too.

    I just want working voice chat and group chats.

    The entire streaming i don't really care about. There are other apps for that.

    But yeah as it is I'm probably better off using discord until the enshittification is so bad no one wants to use it anymore.

  • For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing

    Jump

  • I've already settled on making lemmy my new home a long while ago. I like it here and there is more than enough engagement.

    What i can't really find an alternative for is discord... it's going through the "enshittification fascism techbro" phase.

    I tried matrix but honestly it sucks, Its so incredibly buggy it's barely even usable. I'm still willing to give it a try since it seems very promising but the instability is a big downside.
