  • Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us?

    Jump

  • I think everyone took there comment in the wrong light. They're not defending Google, but rather pointing out that this behavior should be expected from a for profit company, and thus people should have avoided the situation in the first place. Not that it should be that way, but we live under capitalism unfortunately, and people need to be way more skeptical of these companies.

    Rather than blaming inaction of the FTC, why not just stop using play store all together and encourage people to use Fdroid instead? Companies will never stop abusing 'e-goods' , it's just not going to happen. People should just get beyond ownership and embrace the advantages of free software.

  • Fdroid, free and open source alternative to the play store. I've been using it for months, and while it's barebones and probably too minimal for most people, I rather like it myself.

  • I just looked up the definition of excel power user, and it's mostly stuff I deal with on a daily basis, so I guess I'm a power user.

    That being said I am switching to libreoffice currently because I'm tired of proprietary bullshit. I also like the idea of being able to change libre for my needs if I want. I haven't seen any degradation other than a rough around the edges UI. What is libre lacking that MS has?

  • We use windows at my work (I've been using Linux for 2 decades on home computer). I'm trying to migrate our work CPUs to Linux but the biggest road block is my unfamiliarity with librecad, I'm used to autocad. I use cad command line a lot and it's hard to live without auto suggest commands. Libre has the capability but it's very rough and not mature.

  • Well fuck, I guess enshittification is universal. The only safe space is community foss/libre projects I guess

  • Well it's a choice between freedom or corporate control. Freedom is never flashy at first, it only thrives when people embrace it.

  • New York sees largest population decline of 50 states in 2023: census

    Jump

  • even withstanding, the other issues are still present. I'm not saying cities are hellscapes, but they are lacking a few advantages that rural areas have. I like touching my own plot of dirt on this pale blue dot. My own piece of Earth. There is nothing like the nutrient overload from the first of the seasons garden fresh backyard tomato grown from last years compost. Or building random projects; or just lying on the ground looking at the stars anytime I want. In my book no amount of money would be worth sacrificing all that to live in a dense city for me personally. But this is just my outlook, I understand many other people value things differently.

  • Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO

    Jump

  • I think profit was always the end goal, except for Aaron Swartz. They might not have been incorporated but the intent always seemed like profit.

  • same here, since 2008. Pretty much every user of the site was on the same standard default subreddits. I don't like what Reddit has become but I don't blame them like a lot of people here.

    Honestly they were a corporation from the get-go, out to make money once it became popular. They built something no one else did.

    But going forward, the little reddit escapade from their corporate suite shows that freedom of speech can only thrive when there is no driving profit motive.

  • I hope Lemmy incorporates some of the features of RES, like something similar to the ability to +shortcut community links to an area (top or side) to quickly go to your favorite communities.
