This, my friends, is a classic lemmy argument: “how about someone whom I already don’t pay anything go and do more work for less pay, so I can enjoy my content free, without ads, and don’t need to bother with an AdBlock”.
How about, you, anon, set up a server, provide a simple upload API, and convince your favorite content creator to upload there? Since it’s no costs for them and very little work, they might. Maintain that for a year, then we’ll talk.
This market domination is non-discriminatory. It’s not like you go to your local car dealerships and they don’t sell you any other brand than GM. Everyone on the internet is free to go and use any other service. It’s dominant because users are happy with their ads or subscription fees instead of investing their time into using a competing product.
It’s their private website, they do on it whatever they want. Right, lemmy?
You can run your own federated streaming service that will have no ads and will be free of charge, yeah?

The other day someone on lemmy kept trying to tell me that if google wanted to shut down ad blocking they would. But they don’t, so it’s ok.
Lol, spawn me that person plz.
Here’s a pro tip: sleep a lot the day before, and ideally the day before that too. On the important night don’t exhaust yourself with gaming or whatever, but don’t force it. You’ll end up sleeping maybe 4h, but if you slept well the previous two days, you’ll be fine.
Sleep deprivation only really shows over prolonged periods of time. You can ace a lot of tests with the above method.
Jeez, you fools. How about rolling into the lab at 11, drinking coffee till 11:30, have at most half an hour to reminiscue about yesterday’s failures, while looking at results well-knowing they’re unsalvageable, and then going for lunch with the crew?
If you start your day at 8:30, you misunderstood that it’s not your paycheck that makes a PhD great.
some? How about better thermals, better battery life, and a better integrated graphics?
That’s cuz you never had a proper napolitan pizza you uncultured swine. You’d never open your mouth about pizza again, or call anything you can buy in your America a pizza.
For those peasants who’ve never heard of olio peperoncino
Years go by but the internet legend lives on.
Dunno about that science article, but I bought a poop knife a while ago and it works great!
If someone would be buying those, someone would be selling. You have all the opportunity to fork current android, put it on a different platform, make sure all the drivers are open source instead of blobs, and sell it.
I’d really want to buy one. But I’ll only do that after you somehow make sure the 3-5 major messaging apps, 2-3 major browsers, and a really good maps app are available.
So, basically, it’s a 100 mil endeavor for an MVP really. So, I think, the chances of someone actually pulling it off are pretty slim.
13bn dollars in missed taxes while already abusing a tax heaven.
When our stupid politicians will grow some balls (metaphorically, and independent of their gender-balanced commission/parliament), and we’ll actually introduce a proper minimum corporate tax for the entire EU market, it will be 50bn. At least.
Combine this from all the big tech companies that are dodging our taxes, and we could quadruple our defense budget, double our education and healthcare spendings, and still supply every citizen with a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
Exactly. He did. I don’t. So, don’t push on me some guy’s hometown lowest temperature as a 0.
(Also he did a bit more than just measure the low of his hometown, but it sorta correlates to his location)
This is no way describes how I feel. I almost never experience below -5C, e.g. like 20F, but from there down it doesn’t really matter if it’s 10F or -10F. You need special clothing and then you’re fine.
While my pain point is at 95F, most people I know consider “hot outside” being around 80F, and “unbearably hot outside” at around 88F. So, how is this intuitive?
As a European I can perfectly feel the 0 degree. I step outside and 5 seconds later I can tell you if it’s below zero or not.
For me “it’s now really hot” in summer is exactly when it’s over 30C. It being 86F doesn’t make any more sense. Approximately above 35C I will avoid going outside. Which would be 95F, not 100. From here, the temps in summer in the south of Europe are often around 100F at peak. Above or below doesn’t matter.
All that Fahrenheit scale is good for is if you live in a continental climate, more to the south, e.g. some useless place like Oklahoma, where 0F is approximately year low, and 100F is approximately year high.
For all other places, where the temperature delta over the course of the year is not as extreme, this Fahrenheit scale is as unintuitive as celcius, e.g. you just get used to it.

I never understood, and never will understand this.
Even when I was a poor teenager and pirated essentially everything I always knew that this content only exists because someone is paying for it.
How do people go around feeling like the best VoD platform to ever exist, available on every device imaginable, optimized for years by best software engineers the world has, should be free, and without ads is beyond me.
