  • Google is literally the only manufacturer that lets you unlock your phone day 1, officially, without any “e-fuses” or warranty voiding, with step by step instructions on their own website, and you’re saying they are killing custom ROMs?

    Perhaps custom ROMs are dying because people don’t feel a need to flash them? I haven’t flashed a custom ROM in probably 8ish years, because my phones stock ROM has everything I want. I no longer need to flash a ROM for flashlight toggle, screen recording, scrolling screenshots, etc. It’s all built into my OEM ROM.

    Discord sucks, but I’ve actually had a 100% successful help rate on it vs Reddit or Lemmy.

    Typically Discord servers have specific tech support rooms, and you’ll get help pretty quickly. Only once I have had to ask my question a second time, because it was missed the first time.

    Meanwhile Reddit threads just get downvoted, buried, and you’re never helped. Even when I try to search for threads that other people have posted, 90% of threads are just blank.

    Lemmy is the worst. Doesn’t matter what you need, they’ll just call you stupid and tell you to use Linux and FOSS alternative, ignoring the fact you NEED to use what you’re asking help with.









  • Not really going to get into it with you, because you clearly have your mind made up, but you pretty much nailed why at the end.

    I have a vivid memory of YouTube being a platform where normal people could share videos of their kids and pets or other fun random low quality but entertaining things

    People spend a lot of time and money making videos these days. They aren’t just random low quality things. They have teams of sometimes hundreds, use cameras worth half a million dollars, and may take a week or month to record said video while paying those hundreds of employees.

    Again, not going to change your mind, Lemmy is very open about not giving a shit about others when it comes to money, but it’s not 2006 anymore, and people need to make their money back AND pay their employees.

    Personally I’m fine watching a few ads to support the content I clearly want to watch. Seems weird you’d be interested enough in what someone has to show you, but refuse to help them in any way, but whatever.

    Remember guys, don’t forget to hit the downvote button if you haven’t already. How dare I say anything positive that isn’t just “fuck ads, fuck YouTube, fuck everyone!”
