I cancelled all my subscription services today and fired up the ol' abandoned Plex server. I was paying for the convenience for awhile to be honest, but I'm over it now. Internet and a VPN are mostly all anybody needs anymore.

It continues to amaze me how dumb half of America is.

I haven't looked into why they're doing this, so maybe this insight is obvious and well known, but I imagine it has to do with the fact that they spend a shitton of money on these spaces/leases that they can't easily get out of, so their way of dealing with it is by forcing employees to use it. My company is going through a similar situation, but they're accepting the responsibility of eating the cost of the office space lease with several years left on the contract and don't even try to entice people to use it. "Come in if you want, it's going to be here for awhile!" is about as far as it goes, haha. Fuck Amazon.

No different than Trump

Ugh I hate when I see that quote because it's made up and was never true. It was supposed to be around 100 companies are responsible for 70% of global emissions pertaining to fossil fuel and cement production, which accounts for ~10% of global emissions.

People love pointing the finger at someone else while pretending they have nothing to do with the problem. It's why I fear we're well on our way to extinction

That's super lame and disappointing. Democracy my ass, the users didn't vote for this.

Being comfortable enough with myself to answer this question honestly: nothing

Damn, this is exactly how I feel. Well said. I honestly feel free after spending over a decade on that god damn website.

Another 50,000 mattresses going to the dump, cool

This has already been answered many times. It's an entirely new app that you will have to buy again.

Jesus fuckin christ.

Five dead, investigation underway.

Investigation could take months, even years.

Heart goes out to those affected. Thanks for sharing this, I'm excited to see this community on Lemmy.

To me, the most disheartening thing about it is how most people didn't care.

It really does surprise me how so many people (at least on Reddit and Lemmy) care so deeply about a headphone jack.

I just understand reality.

This statement is actually more braindead than the takes on Fox.

Initially, I didn't have a problem with it, but I read some good points in other threads that it is far too expensive for those in undeveloped countries, and that there should be a sliding scale instead of a straight-up currency conversion.

God that image is depressing

I feel like people just want to hang out and talk about stuff. We don't always need to be wowed by some crazy high quality content or new OC. We just want to hang out with friends and shoot the shit. Most of us are on here to distract us from whatever bullshit we should probably be doing instead.

Weird, I just typed this word for word on another meme in this instance.

Where are these 11/10 meme bangers coming from!?

It’s worth twenty dollars to not see ads that don’t exist in the first place?

To me, yes. I spent a decade on sync pro for reddit, so it wasn't even a thought. Others don't have to feel the same way or use it.

It’s worth introducing capitalism to the fediverse?

I like the dev. I like supporting the dev to continue improving an app I like.

Fuck the CCP.
