Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.
This is tech journalism now? Might as well have had ChatGPT write the article too...what a waste of time
Damn they won't make me magnetic? That would be useful, I could avoid dropping screws and bits every time I do a project.
Well, this particular Magazine is called /m/RedditMigration so it would be kind of hard to not discuss Reddit here...
Does it? I hadn't noticed, I haven't been over there in quite a while.
The harshness is intentional because Reddit is gearing up to aim themselves at a new audience. They know that they are going to lose a big chunk of their users - they want that. Those of us who were using third party apps were probably the least convertible in terms of profit.
The mentality is our way or the highway, and in this case they win no matter what because for every one of us they lose, they are going to gain 20x. They want those TikTok numbers, and this is how they plan to get there
I'm pretty content with KBin. As time goes on the content level will increase and hopefully remain at a level which makes it easy to curate my feed and reduce noise. Truth be told Reddit has been getting worse for a long time and being here reflects that. This feels a lot like what Reddit felt like 10 years ago.
I'm into 3D printing, so for me right now the piece of kit I'm drooling over is the X1 Carbon by Bambu Lab. It has a lot of fancy features but what I most want is the 16-color mixer. It would be great because it would significantly reduce the painting overhead. I'm hoping to have it before the end of the year, if there's not something fancier out by then.
I'm pretty sure in the same section of the bible where it says the man shall not lay with another man thing (Leviticus), it also says you shouldn't wear mixed fabrics or eat shellfish...so if your parents shop at Walmart or enjoy Red Lobster, they are just as immoral as you are
Yeah these alternate platforms are always nice in the early days - the early adopters tend to be like-minded at least in the sense of trying to build a nice community. Hopefully this place stands up to time better than some of the others have over the years.
I personally don't mind seeing a link to the artist's patreon or website or whatever on a post, as long as it's not over the top or inserted clearly as an ad for whatever is being sold. I feel like it's OK for that to be there for the people who want to see more of your work or purchase something. What I don't like to see is my feed getting filled with what I perceive as advertisements. So I think there is a happy middle ground.
Did you read the article? "MCU" appears nowhere in it and Sony is mentioned 10+ times. This has nothing to do with the MCU whatsoever.
