Ha, same. Best thing I can do for my social security number is "That looks about right".

I thought Discord was USA-based.

But you don't regulate the turning-to-shit part.

Yups, that's what I was getting at. There can be very good reasons to do things that are impopular with end users.

At the same time, without reddit turning to shit, Lemmy wouldn't have thrived the way it is now. Change is part of life, as is platforms turning to shit. You move over and learn to deal with it. You might be able to nudge it in the right direction, but in the end, corporations gonna corporate.

Enshittification isn't illegal though. And making it illegal sounds pretty draconian and anti liberal to me.

I, for one, will never pay for discord, and if the communities I do use it for decide to move elsewhere, I'll happily move over.

I don't recall. Not gonna lie, it's not as slick looking as the stock one, or as regular android launchers can be, but it's functional.

Edit: It's called Projectivy Launcher.

I was getting "suggestions" to install apps for streaming platforms like Disney or hbo which I had to scroll past before I could start the apps I installed myself.

Maybe you're on a different firmware version from me.

Saying the crop is a porn photo is like saying homeopathy has an active ingredient because "the water remembers".

As long as the cropped picture contains the required colour variety, fine by me.

Now, the real remarkable thing is the fact that you think those two settings are comparable, or that it somehow makes a valid argument.

edit or that you posted this argument so many times. You might have some repressed issues. Honestly, as long as all parties involved are consenting adults, it's okay to like what you like.

Same here. I'm just surprised at how well Signal is holding up.

What a stupid title. As if anybody's buying smart devices in the hope they'll be worth more someday.

My on topic advice: if you rely on your smart TV to get to your content, you're going to have a bad time. Get a small computer instead, and treat your "smart" TV as a monitor, nothing more.

I did get myself an nvidia shield last year, and after switching out the stock launcher for something that doesn't show ads (and better yet, launches straight into plex at boot), I couldn't be happier.

In my experience, these kinds of programs tend to do that. But if the first step of a guide is "go download the dodgy software from a third party file hoster", that's about as big as red flags get.

the futures of both Meta and the Fediverse are heavily intertwined: both are dependent on one another for their success.

That very much depends on your definition of success. If that means monetization, then probably, yes. But if you mean quality content (for the fediverse), I very much doubt it.
