I guess it was inevitable when everyone and their dog rolled out a streaming service that eventually they’d have to squeeze subscribers more to stem the losses.

It seems like if the streaming platforms licensed each others exclusives in the same way no music streaming service has much exclusive music, there might be less profit but it might have been more stable for them.

That and his seemingly concerning hatred for Europe because Threads hasn’t launched there yet…

Probably David Wise, he’s had a hand in a lot of the Rare bangers!

I’ve also wondered that for the longest time. It was also like that when it was sync for reddit. At first I thought it was just a quirk specific to my phone.

I guess I’ll be spending a lot more time on Lemmy now. It’s like sync never went away ʘ‿ʘ

I’ve been enjoying Beef on netflix, the premise starts off absurd, but as the episodes go on, you really get a feel for how an unhappy life can lead to a lot of other things.

Is it the android community you’re referring to? As I believe that is run by the same moderators as was on the original subreddit, which is a shame.

I don’t feel like transplanting the exact same leadership / moderator teams as was on Reddit is always the best idea and some element of choice is important.

I’ve been using Kagi for the past two months. Honestly, I’m pretty happy with it and I can’t think of any major misses in terms of search accuracy. I think it’s very difficult to get out of the mindset that search should be free, but I’m trying to put my money where my mouth is as it were, to try to support adtech free services.

For me, I started out with android back in the 2.3 days. Then custom roms, launchers, rooting was all really fun and exciting. I switched to an iPhone when the X came out after a bad experience with the Pixel 2 XL (QA issues and poor customer service mainly), and I didn’t make the switch back until the Pixel 7 came out.

Right now, I’d say I prefer android because the notification system is much better. I have greater control of my homescreen, and more freedom to install software not blessed by either Apple or Google.

I really like the first one, it has quite a playful feeling to it.

Another lurker here, but somehow it feels like it has been a lot easier to post on here compared to reddit. Hopefully Lemmy continues to have good discussion without devolving too much into reddit meme comment chains and the like.

A cheeky mid-week day off work and a fat lie-in for me. I’m 100% content at doing nothing of value today just enjoying the summer vibes.

I sympathise on the mental health front. I’ve had my own struggles for a long while, but today has been a good week relatively speaking like yours. I hope you keep up the good fight, and enjoy the sweaty hell :)

Usually a lurker, but hello folks. Hoping this will be a nice spot for some uk-focused stuff.
