…nope, can’t use it to chat with my friends and family, we all gave up on Teh Goog and I worked there for over a decade! 😆
(also, by the time you see this, they may have renamed it or introduced a competing messaging app. or both.)
Eep! Wishing you a speedy recovery, @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone! Take care of yourself first, we’ll understand if things here go wonky for a bit. 💜
So if I understand correctly… if Google and Meta don’t give us Canadian news, we’ll just stop reading Canadian news almost entirely? That’s nonsense.
There is exactly one reason Big Tech is doing this: precedent. If they give in without a big fight, other countries will follow and their profits will be slightly fewer billions of dollars.
Sorry, I couldn’t read this all the way through. All I hear that author saying is various capitalist-mindset “if it won’t serve everyone and won’t ever become a monopoly that crushes competitors, it’s not worth doing” b.s.
It’s perfectly fine that the Fediverse isn’t the best option for everyone! Geeze!
Ooh ooh, let me make some popcorn before I read this!
That, and also just a preemptive caution from having seen similar discussions go that route in the past. As you implied, it’s virtually impossible to exist in the modern world without being findable and harassable, no matter how careful one is.
Also, I’ll just leave this here. 🙂
It’s creepy af, but let’s all be careful not to victim-blame please.
I’m a huge fan of https://fidgetland.com/flipit-fidgets/ — they’re quite small, and can be entirely unnoticeable if you get the nearly-silent “Stephie” version and your hands aren’t in plain view. 🙂 I keep a few different ones in different places!
How long until Google gives up and shuts it down? Place yer bets!!!
Funny, it seems the quality of journalism on Facebook has dramatically increased in the last 24 hours. The Beaverton’s reporters are truly dedicated to serving the public interest.
Fuck spez, certainly, but I can easily understand why Narwhal’s developer took the deal. I’m sure they invested a huge amount of time and effort into their app and it’s hard to walk away from that when there’s a viable path forward. Apollo’s dev would have probably taken the same deal, had it been on the table. The problem was never that Reddit needed to start charging for API access, it’s that they priced it unreasonably high after assuring devs they wouldn’t and also gave very little notice before those prices took effect.
