Sync didn’t use ro have ads (or maybe I was blocking them successfully) but now it does. So will try something else as fuck ads.

I’m curious, do you use this on mobile or are you talking about a desktop experience?
Personally I find more ads on something like Sync on mobile than I did on Reddit which I can block, but I am now forced to use the Reddit desktop site.
OP doesn’t understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.
But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.
Who gets banned from Reddit as a whole though?
You’d have to literally be posting child porn or something.
Or is this just a conceptual argument that doesn’t actually mean anything in reality?
Not sure I understand tbh. Seems exactly the same?
You get banned in a reddit community you can’t access it, you get banned in a lemmy community you can’t access it.
I’ve been banned from reddit communities and can still access reddit. If you’ve been banned from Reddit completely you must have done some terrible shit.
In your example, you’re also suggesting a transphobic person has more scope on Lemmy to continue being transphobic than on Reddit. That’s not a good thing?
I am quite confused by your post tbh.
Yeah the ads are garbage. I might end up dumping Sync just to avoid it tbh.
Just be aware Lemmy has its own share of issues and extremist views. It’s not as simple as Reddit is evil and Lemmy is good, both have their pros and cons at end of day and realistically they both probably have a role to play for people.
PSVR - fun for a week but otherwise useless.
I actually don’t disagree with you and think we’re on the same page. Basically, you can summarise our whole discussion as all companies are doomed to fail at end of day.
If you don’t change and innovate you will fail.
If you change and innovate too much you will fail.
Finding the middle ground is rough and most companies will fail.
Anecdotally sure, but for the majority of people I’d be right. And that’s what matters - at a small level you’ll have outliers but if you’re winning the majority of the market then you will crush your competitors. Again it’s irrelevant whether your code is good or efficient or replaced by llms so long as you are winning long enough to kill your competition.
They may be failing but they have replaced the industry so it’s irrelevant.
Do you use Yahoo or AltaVista to search?
Do you still use taxis?
Do you use Blockbuster or subscribe to a standard cable package?
I’d wager you say no to all of them. So while the old may be right, it’s irrelevant because they were still outperformed and no longer exist or are just not as competitive.
Again, people get hung up on the best or right way to do things when the reality is that’s not how business works.
Yep. This is the old school way of thinking that leads to things being shitty and not improving. “Why change if it’s not broke?” Cue Uber, Google, Netflix any tech company that replaced the old guards.
To be fair, all of those activities sound like shit.
If I’m retiring I’m playing games, reading, hiking etc.
Well the simple reason is you can get stuck in certain world views or ideas which are wrong and hurt others.
In most cases you’re fine, like talking about your favourite TV shows or whatever. But it’s also easy to get stuck in a view like visiting your country’s instance and it turns out it’s a bit radicalised against immigrants, or certain places where you end up blaming everything on women and the “woke movement”.
In a lesser way it can get you stuck in toxic ideas (e.g., PC/Playstation/Windows/Xbox/Linux is better than the other one and you are dumb if you disagree!).
Just depends on the community at end of day, but the more echoey chamber it is, the more likely you’ll end up with those sorts of us VS them world views that are a bit blind and horribly biased.
That’s generally not a good thing…
That means it’s more likely to be an echo chamber or just bots auto posting…
You want a lot of diversity - within specific groups sure, the same names are fine but across groups that’s a bad sign.
You were probably using the wrong version of utorrent.
I think you need something like 1.6. No adware, no malware, just works fast and easy.
Pretty spot on in my opinion.
I buy the cheapest coffee beans I can from supermarket, and have had coffee snobs comment how much they love the coffee I make and where I buy it from.
Salt is salt, it tastes the same.
Not sure on the land one… That one is a bit odd admittedly.
Didn’t you just make an argument for buying the more expensive knives and that they are worth it?
They’re both consenting adults, and it’s just sex.
It’s yuck in the same way a teen might say old people (30+ yos) having sex are yuck.
But there’s nothing inherently wrong about it, your views are just judgemental. May also just be a cultural thing to be fair, or as societies attitude towards sex become more open, older views may still just be very conservative.
Sorry to hear.
Small consolation but you did use affects correctly. Something affects you, while something can cause an effect.
