This is exactly why I didn’t buy it. After that first wave of games you have to pray the homebrew folks get interested. If it wasn’t for that my Vita/PSTV would be worthless

You have the elitist weekend cyclists on 15-20k bikes and the casual commuter folks all rolled up in one list. Not the same crowd.

I’ve done it for almost 2 decades and confirm people are assholes.

After almost a year with mine I don’t think I’ll go back to a normal phone. Having a small phone that fits in the palm of my hand and I can make full size works for me personally. If I didn’t have the external screen and it was a full sized phone that opened I’d probably agree.

This is the most Omni Consumer Products situation.

I was going to read all of this until I got to “provide some option to pay more and not have ads” . Zero chance this would ever end in a consumer friendly way after that first payment.

I remember getting grilled by TSA for a “District of Columbia” DL and asked for a passport.

The rack isn’t even attached to the rails in this picture. So not that weird.

These are weird?

Yup. Even the in game tips, random things you find on the battlefield, propaganda commercials all fit the sovcit talk. No doubt in my mind these folks would be on the battlefield yelling “Freedom” .

I’d wait to buy it. The servers are maxed out and it takes a while to get on.

After 3 straight days of Helldivers 2 these are hitting harder.

I can believe it. Every commercial break is an ad for sports betting.

They started moving people to the Federated server last year to test things. I didn’t see this article but people were openly talking about moving over on Bluesky. So thanks for posting this because I always see people say it’s not getting Federated on Lemmy, but see people on Bluesky say it is, confusing.

No they don’t. I don’t have a problem with let me listen to this to see if I should buy it. That’s totally understandable. People who just do it to get everything free is what I have a problem with. If you really like the work find a way to support them because those numbers open doors to bigger opportunities.

Totally agree on the show’s and I’ve seen some big name artists at small shows randomly. Also some really good merchandise.

Piracy creates an endless loop of artists taking advances and eventually losing royalties. That’s just what I’ve seen growing up in the music /film/ TV industry and briefly working in both. Screw labels and Spotify but go support artists and actually buy stuff.

Awww that’s too bad.

Moved to Lemmy, best choice ever.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who felt that vibe from it. I could feel the new tech being reviewed hype, but he wasn’t totally into it. When he stood on the trunk I could totally see he was giving his all.

Murder by words, my goodness.
