Yea, the download size was getting too big (or they couldn't be bothered QA-ing new gear with old content) so they started deleting old stuff.

Means if you start playing now you can't play the story from the beginning which seems pretty terrible to me.

The more users the more content there is though which is ultimately what I want as a user.

This is even more important for more niche communities a lot of which are still very quiet/dead/non-existent on Lemmy relative to reddit.

Who produce emissions because they make a product that ultimately ends up being used by a consumer...

I think if you have something that you really enjoy and think is amazing it's sometimes hard to see how that might not be for everyone.

How do you practically impose this policy?

I mean, something like Spotify is the same. I don't really buy music anymore and if I stopped subscribing then I'd not have access to music... But the quality of the service is good enough and value good enough that I don't really mind.

Its just a balance of are you getting more value out of it than you'd get just buying games when you want to play them

I'd be interested to know what the % is for movies and TV to be honest. I know Dr Who for example has like 100 episodes that have just been lost. There's no copies of them anywhere that anyone knows of.

I think the big worry with AI and the arts is the threat of it putting legit artists out of business.

I think film is less likely to be effected, but certainly typical art and music could be effected pretty badly.

I mean, at the moment I'll just take most active. I believe in the idea of the fediverse giving us multiple communities for different vibes of talking about the same topics but for now I'll just take having communities that are a bit more active

I went for a 5 year mortgage rather than a 2 year at my last renewal. With how much rates have increased by recently, I think this will have saved me about £15k by the end of the 5 years.

My app only really stopped working yesterday.

I wouldn't say massively different, but I do find it pretty stale content wise recently. Only started using Lemmy today and worry that it's just a bit empty content wise for the moment...

Is an app for viewing the website. Lots of the apps offered better viewing, filtering and search features for reddit compared to the normal website.
