I can't remember the last time I watched anything on amazon. The last time I'd checked two-thirds of my list had been removed or moved to paid. Every so often I'll accumulate enough digital credits from not demanding next-day delivery & use those to watch some movie but that's it.

Xaris posted:glad i dont pay for this poo poo ok but I will say my wife and I had a little bit of a mind blowing moment when we wanted to skip the 45sec YouTube ad and were thinking about how our kids won’t really have a concept of commercials like we did. We all used to sit through ~5-7minutes of commercials for a 30m show. Insane to see how far we’ve come lol, sorry suckers who watch live sports, the rest of the world has moved on and I don’t think we’ll ever go back.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:You're not wrong and I agree with what you're posting. I'm just saying that from my POV a food desert is a lot more than just a poor (non-white) neighborhood and white people don't like admitting that. well yeah white privilege means not admitting poverty. pretty sure that’s what “the wages of whiteness” means but idk. credit cards (and debt in general) vs. actual wage increases is another state sanctioned cope

Hadn't watched poo poo for ages and was expecting company for the holidays so in anticipation tried to fire up Prime on my hardly ever used Roku and they no longer do business with Roku? gently caress all of them. I'd rather watch lovely over the air tv than pay any of those rascal robber barons another cent.

i thank god everyday that we finally got gigabit fiber optic lines through a local small ISP a few years ago for $70/month, and have never looked back. this new comcast/xfinity pricing is insane, almost $200 a month lol from what people are saying, the whole "call and threaten to cancel" trick no longer works. they dgaf anymore, not worth the call center money to spend on retention.

we've all posted a lot about the enshittification process of tech garbage, but holy mother of god the new reddit UI is the worst form of enshittification i've personally seen. it is the absolute worst marketing-brained need-to-sling-ads design ive ever seen. incase you aren't aware, reddit has been secretly opting lots of peopl into the new redesign to beta-test it before it goes all out. i was one of the unlucky ones who got forcefully rolled into it and it sucks absolute poo poo. I've managed to finangle a greasemonkey script to at least redirect to new. but it's so loving stupid. if you want a preview of what reddit is going to look like for everyone in a month or so, try this: https://sh.reddit.com/r/bayarea/ or https://sh.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/ or https://sh.reddit.com/r/shrinkflation/. It also breaks all plugins so there's no light at the end of the tunnel once they finally kill off old. prefix for good. it's getting rolled out en mass no matter what soon.

The reddit UI has always been the worst poo poo. Clicking a reply? It'll pop open inline and show you. Clicking a reply to a reply? That's a full page reload, hope you didn't lose your place on the previous tab I guess.

Pidgin Englishman posted:I think the q is why haven't you been tapped for the obvious rent potential yet?!? We have a private limited company which owns the building and the lot. Stockholders own shares of the company which grant owners the permission to live in specific apartments in the building. Since we own the lot we don’t have to pay rent for it. We only pay rent for the utilities and renovations for the private limited company, which the inhabitants own. The board is elected yearly and consists of inhabitants. So essentially our rent is as low as possible, currently for me around 230€/month. That includes heating, but not water or electricity. Extracting more rent from us is quite difficult, only possible by increasing the price of utilities, which are mostly provided by the city.

Palladium posted:maybe im a prehistoric old fart but is more efficient Yes, that's what I'm saying. Steam gets sales because the lowered barrier of entry and quality of life benefits is worth actually paying for the game over pirating it, but it's becoming less and less true for streamed media.

Yeah cause of the posts here I cancelled streaming and got a server working with all of the open source apps. The UX is beyond my expectations. It had to be good in order to get my wife on board with cancelling everything. It's better than streaming.
