Looks great to me. Strawberry milkshake frosting sounds tasty.

I’m not religious and have plenty of issues with organized religion in general but I do support any Christians who aspire to live by the teachings Jesus actually preached. And it’s always good to see someone like this Reverend here, willing to call out conservatives who wear their supposed piety on their sleeves while espousing bigoted, selfish, reprehensible beliefs.

HACK THE PLANET PRINTER INK CARTRIDGES!

Yeah, I own a lot of my favorites on dvd/bluray, particularly movies that for one reason or another have never been available on streaming. Unfortunately there's an emerging trend of retailers removing DVD's and Blu Ray media from their stores. So while physical media isn't exactly hard to buy yet, unless something happens to reverse this trend it's going to gradually become more difficult to buy physical media.

Yeah that’s an option but it’s not going to be a practical solution for everyone. Most people on Lemmy are more tech savvy than average so they’ll be fine but there are plenty of people who lack the knowledge and skill. And that sucks because people have shown repeatedly that they are more than willing to pay a reasonable rate for the content they want. But these greedy fucks decided they all needed their own service. So now content is fractured across a dozen different apps that are only getting more expensive and ad riddled.

It just plain sucks that your options are either piracy or being constantly fucked over to benefit shareholders.

…And the enshittification era of streaming services continues unabated.

The science wasn’t in question. The journalism has catastrophically failed.

It's always amusing when people on lemmy complain about journalism while making it abundantly clear they didn't actually read the article. Nobody said the science was in question. But the problem is, you'd have had to read the article to know that. Oh and for the record the article was written by the researchers themselves, Beverly Law, Professor Emeritus of Global Change Biology and Terrestrial Systems Science, Oregon State University and William Moomaw Professor Emeritus of International Environmental Policy, Tufts University. With contributions from Richard Birdsey, a former U.S. Forest Service carbon and climate scientist and current senior scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center.

Yes, cutting the CEO's pay won't prevent layoffs. Excellent work, detective. That was definitely the aim of my comment and not a simple matter of principle.

“We have ambitious goals and will be investing in our big priorities this year,” Pichai told all Google employees on Wednesday in an internal memo that was shared with me. “The reality is that to create the capacity for this investment, we have to make tough choices.”

Surely Alphabet will make the tough choice to cut CEO pay, right? lololololol I crack myself up sometimes...

Yep, it's a terrible argument but it's the only one they've got. They can't admit the easier it is to cancel service the more customers they'll lose. Nor can they say that the cable industry has spent a fortune researching how to make canceling service just frustrating enough that people will put it off long enough for the urge to eventually pass. And believe it or not, exploiting people's laziness has been a surprisingly effective customer retention strategy for decades.

"The proposed simple click-to-cancel mechanism may not be so simple when such practices are involved. A consumer may easily misunderstand the consequences of canceling and it may be imperative that they learn about better options," NCTA CEO Michael Powell said at the hearing. For example, a customer "may face difficulty and unintended consequences if they want to cancel only one service in the package," as "canceling part of a discounted bundle may increase the price for remaining services."

This sounds like a "you" problem. If your service were any good this wouldn't be a concern because nobody would have a reason to reach that page. Take those discounted bundles and fuck right off.

Standard Lemmy reply mentioning Kagi is great if you’re willing to pay for a search engine.

Standard Lemmy Counter point recommending StartPage.

Standard Lemmy reply recommending DuckDuckGo.

Standard Lemmy comment recommending Firefox.

That sounds like a delicious combination.

It’s too bad about Artifact shutting down. I jumped on that app as soon as it was publicly available last February and thought it had a lot of potential.
