Not just spam, but really shitty spam too. My Lemmy viewer of choice doesn’t even allow for the viewing of profiles, so I wouldn’t even know how to get to “her” page if I wanted to.

I consider this a good thing for multiple reasons.

Is this the first time you’ve ever been exposed to humor?

The good news is neither do they.

the writing here is very humorous.

We’re gonna have to agree to disagree on that one.

What does this have to do with the Onion/parody sites? Isn’t that a legit list?

Bad bot

I just looked over the last ~50 or so comments of mine and I see, at best, one other comment that might be construed as nitpicking someone’s grammar (it’s not, but seeing as how you’re really fuckin’ dumb, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt). I don’t know how your tiny little pea brain decided that meant my account was dedicated to that, but then again I do have to remember the bit about you being very fucking dumb and apparently proud of that fact, so here we are.

That’s fine. Likewise, I don’t care if you want to continue looking like an idiot. At least I tried to help you, but some people are beyond help.

Should be “me” and not “I”.

For me, I do a mix of both. If I know I’m going to watch something multiple times, or want to save it for later I’ll download it, if it’s just a show that I’m casually watching in the background, or I’m using my phone/tablet to kill time I’ll stream it. Also my internet isn’t amazing (starlink) so if I’m downloading an Xbox update or something I can’t always stream 4K content without it buffering, so a lot of time I’ll go ahead and download something beforehand.

I like the fact that all options are equally easy.

Also, the cost of 6 months of RD is roughly equal to the price of a “value meal” at a fast food restaurant these days. Do you really feel bad about not having something to show for when you’re getting 6 months of all the shows you can stream for basically nothing? Especially when you have the option of downloading everything if you want. The entitlement there is a bit much.

What an absolutely asinine article. Do they expect Apple to have invented the perfect cable for every product 40 years ago and have been using it since then? The iPhone has changed cables one time in 17 years and now that a government agency is forcing them to change again the Verge is gonna take that as an opportunity to criticize them for complying with the law. What a joke.

so watching the video encourages him to do more stupid shit like this

Right on! I even bought some of his merch to help out that much more.

You know, most questions have question marks. Might be helpful in preventing other people from thinking this was a guide thread and not a question.

Ah. Not worth giving up compact view, IMO, but good to know.

I just don’t know why they have to go with such weird colors for this and the zero. I’d take black, white, grey, or even an actual red or blue or really any other primary color over these pastel offerings. I have almost no use for one of these but if it was offered in a normal color, I’d order one right away.

Eh, I get both sides of the argument. They’re not deciding what you can or can’t see, they’re deciding what you can or can’t see while using their resources. Personally, that type of censorship would lead me to be looking for another instance, but I also get where they’re coming from. Kinda.

What’s up with these absolutely abysmal thread titles? Can you at least make them descriptive of the content?

YSK, not everybody uses the same app/software/platform/whatever to access Lemmy, so not everyone is gonna have access to this.

I, for one, have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

Absurdly priced lifetime purchases are…well, stupid. I’m still not convinced having 3 different subscriptions is worth it when there are tons of other free options available that are just as good, and I pretty much so refuse to pay for software on a monthly basis on principle alone. But if you’re happy with it, it’s your money. $7 a month is obviously better than $200, but that’s a silly comparison.

I just feel like 3 different subscriptions is too much. I pay for RD, as I feel like it’s the best value out there at ~$18 twice a year, but I just use torrent sites on my iPhone/iPad to find whatever I want and upload those directly to RD’s site with a safari extension. Then $25 gets you a fire stick where Kodi is $free.99 so that takes care of watching on TV. I was seriously hoping this whole sideloading thing on iOS17 was gonna be available in all regions and not just the EU because having Kodi on my iPhone without having to worry about signing it once a week would be a blessing.
