Yeah that's the most brazen part. They're more than happy to pull in a dozen set of fees, but cry when they have to clearly list them so people aren't taken advantage of. This is the type of rubbish that the "free market" produces and why there needs to be some level of government oversight.
I've raised this in the matrix chat and have flagged this again to Ernest. I know initially about 2 months ago when the exodus happened that he was scrambling around trying to keep the server running as everyone joined.
Over the last few weeks he's be busy with a flood of PRs with either fixes, new features or support for the upcoming API integration.
I had no idea this ticket existed (mostly because there's been almost 1000 tickets submitted and I've been working on improvements)
Hopefully he can have a look at this and fix these issues soon, I seriously don't think this was done maliciously, but I'll do what I can to raise it (I have minimal exposure to open source licensing so I don't want to touch these files myself)
I can't speak for the other contributors but there's been almost 1000 tickets in the space of 2-3 months. I've been fairly busy fixing bugs and trying to improve the UI. I've flagged it to ernest and hopefully this gets resolved soon so we can keep everyone happy 🦙
Probably putting out another strawman argument to make the situation much worse than it actually it. Making it go from a scenario where licensing wasn't followed correctly to a proposed new outrage where hard work from stolen from a trans person. Pathetic
One thing I'm really surprised about is that the overall screen strength doesn't seem to have improved over the last 5 years. Screens are still much better than what they were over a decade ago (where a drop without a case was pretty much a screen crack)
But I'm finding on my Pixel 7 pro for example that I'm still finding light scratches, it feels like these screens only have a 5 or 6 on the mohz scale where you'd usually expect a 7 or beyond.
The critiques that Steve laid out in this video were perfectly fine, highlighting the shortcomings of LMG when it comes to actually reviewing content (which is what they're pivoting to, away from 100% entertainment content). A typical Linus arrogant take where he'll learn nothing.
It absolutely would matter. Just like how a 4090 costs an absurdly high amount but people will still buy it. For the right person getting 20 degrees knocked off might be worthwhile regardless of how expensive it is.
Never trusting rockstar with another game. They CBF to even update RDR2 on PS5 to give it a basic performance mode, so why would I trust any of their new "remakes" will get support
D4 will always be around. It's one of those games you can leave for years and come back to later. Be super keen on giving it a go once it's decently priced tbh. They definitely don't deserve 100+ AUD for it though
Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it’s time to find a new home....
The vast majority of comments in here seem to be focused on the attitude of "why you trying to start shit"
But legitimately from an outside presiding perspective, which instances have people found to be decent, there seems to be a heap of Lemmy instances, each with their own rules and vibes, so what's the go?
Revanced is great. I wish it could let me bypass some of the inbuilt limits like not being able to download videos, but that's a small price to pay for removing like 99 of the ads
That's a fair take also. Plenty of YouTubers have said they get decent money from people who watch their content from premium members. They're never really transparent with how much (compared to a normal user view) these views are giving them, but that's fine.
I've used vanced for years and revanced for easily 6 months. I haven't heard of anyone getting banned since it uses MicroG for the login, but there could be a part of the TOS everyone signed that says you can't use your account to bypass their "rules", so it could be a technical violation 🤷♂️
Following the spirit of spreading across the Fediverse (and because my main instance is down so many times, because diverse reasons) I’m intrigued about the joining instance process, because I honestly don’t know what criteria to have in order to join another one if I ever want to do it....
It's a good option for when you want to follow every instance and not be beholden to the server admin randomly de-federating an instance they don't agree with personally (which was one one of the issues Reddit faced, mods with their own agenda)
If you run your own instance you can choose exactly what you get to interact with

Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW | Tanner B 🦕🧁 (@objc@mastodon.social) (mastodon.social)
Update: !ios_dev has been created, temporarily managed by @Ategon until some mods volunteer for it

I’ve made an open source tool for scheduling posts to Lemmy, you can find it at schedule.lemmings.world. It can be used by users from any instance!...
do you use revanced?

What made you choose your instance?
