Something can’t be dead if it never lived.

Just like a ton of other niche communities, it’s going to take a long time to grow to something like it was on Reddit.

You want descriptive answers? Make a descriptive question.

It can be as simple as 'what is "x" and why?'

If you are logged in they still have access to your activity and usage statistics which they can sell to third parties.

So it’s true that you are not ‘directly’ generating profit for them in an easily measurable way, and they would consider you among the ‘freeloaders’ that they called all third party app users.

However, you still indirectly benefit them just by using the platform. Especially if you leave comments or post content. If you just use it, lurk at most and come to lemmy for the discussions.

I always use milliliters and grams for cooking, unless it’s measuring volume of something solid.

I also use time for long distances.

Yeah, they really ought to be getting cracked down upon by governments for their monopoly on desktop computing.

Simply opening directX would solve a lot of problems with gaming.

Ultimately you will have to accept that you don’t ‘own’ your Xbox. None of us do. Microsoft does, and you paid $500 for the hardware, which they can decide to brick remotely at any time.

This is the tradeoff between console and PC. Console is significantly cheaper but you don’t get any control over it.

Ads are never going away, and will likely only get more intrusive until people start hitting their breaking points.

And directly in windows….

They don’t have the correct information then. The booklet I have is the definitive answer, I bet they got their info from some other source.

Embedded media and media hosting in general.

I’m not sure what our solution is for this. A good CDN is tough to make. It’s one of the few things I’m pretty sure are better off being centralized.

No, it uses the 5ghz channel. 5150-5250 hz

Source: I literally have the regulatory FCC booklet it comes with in front of me.

Politics aside, yeah I would consider that a $500k ‘shack.’ The value clearly comes from the location.

2. It seems like a lot of people are talking about twitter even if mostly negative. I see it in the news and online way more often than before Elon bought it. And we are talking about it now ;)
