A lawsuit waiting to happen… someone needs to class action MS for systemic breaches of privacy. Think of all the critical infrastructure, government, medical, policing, etc. systems processing sensitive, private, and in some cases classified, information.
An incredible game. If you are keen on trying a modern take on it, Songs of Conquest is an about to be released spiritual successor which is very enjoyable.
Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose…
Boycotts work in luxury markets with strong competition. Necessity markets with highly concentrated monopolies? No chance. Without legislation to protect consumers, they are powerless to defend themselves against the greed and exploitation of corporate interests.
Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.
If the system can’t protect itself from being overwhelmed by the cancer of corporate interests, then it’s never going to survive. New wave internet needs to learn from the downfalls of its predecessor. The design must have protections built in to prevent capitalists from capitalising, or else it will inevitably fall.
Crosspost support is fantastic! It has been working well, thanks.
Are there any plans for an option to hide crossposts, or is that something that will come via future lemmy updates? (Eg detection and hiding of duplicate links shared across multiple communities)
Great idea! The iphone keyboard is horrible. Have always missed having tactile keyboard from blackberry days. Im in.
“You can start a new post from anywhere” How so?
Seems easier to achieve the goal by giving an option to choose default, rather than arrange order.
Or option to let users pick?
Yeh good suggestion, I find text post makes the most sense in terms of default. But your right, current config does make people slow down a bit before posting
Related to the recent reddit mobile site update that straight up breaks the website perhaps? (Cant scroll, can’t interact)
It’s a real shame. Monopolies in any industry/product inevitably lead to fucking over consumers… time we broke em up I think
People keep buying big tech products and subscriptions then are shocked when they fuck you over? shocked picachu
Anything that helps bookwyrm grow its knowledge library of books (missing a LOT of books that goodreads has) is a good idea. I fear however that combining anything which points people to where to pirate the book might not help the popularity/reputation of bookwyrm as a good OS alt to goodreads.
Good to know, thanks!
Sounds good, I’ll check it out too. Presume it plays nicely with linux as well then, do ya know?
Will do, cheers 👍
I dont really care about any of this crap. Let me install my own internet browsers, fix the poor keyboard hit boxes, let me build my own predictive text library…
