FWIW, Gabe’s argument isn’t against subscriptions. The point in that quote is that legal access to content curbs piracy. Piracy will of course always exist, but there’s also customers that are willing to pay if is convenient and accessible.

A flat tax system would resolve a lot of this.

Why is that crazy? If I loan the bank money and they make money on my loan I should get paid for it.

I played day 1 on PC and think the game is great. It did have some bugs for me and it also wasn’t as feature rich as the developer seemed to imply in early showings. I’d give the game a solid 8/10 for PC launch.

That said, I haven’t touched the game since and would love for the expansion to bring the game to a 9/10 for me. We’ll see.

They named their DVD service “Qwikster” at that time. Obviously it was a terrible idea and had to rebrand.

Elon is a rich con artist.

That’s an interesting question. I haven’t spent very much time thinking about how to define AI art. My immediate thought is that AI art can be OC, but it should also be labeled as such. It’s important to know if a person created the content vs prompting an AI to generate the content. The closest example I can think of is asking someone to paint something for you instead of painting it yourself.

The best was defintely Apollo. Memmy seems to be trying to push the native iOS UI forward, but it’s early days for that app.

While not the purpose of this community, make sure you go into your lemmy settings and have any languages you want enabled. The UI isn’t very clear so also make sure “undetermined” is selected along any other languages you’d like to see.

Can’t wait for that eventual San Jose beach side property. /s

I’ve had Detroit style pizza, but I can’t say I liked it very much compared to other pizza styles so I don’t have good recommendations.

My favorite is neapolitan pizza so I’d recommend trying one if you come across a place that does them and haven’t tried it yet.

This is kind of odd on desktop, but lemmy.world added voyager (previously wefwef) as the default view if you visit m.lemmy.world.

I quickly switched to feedly after the Google reader sunset, but I mostly access feedly via Reeder on Apple products. The feedly website works well when needed though.

There’s no third party app store support in iOS 17 or iPadOS. I wouldn’t expect something like the altstore to get better until third party stores are officially supported.

That’s inherent to the fediverse. You have to specify which instance you’re referring to. The wording between “community” or “sublemmy” isn’t actually helpful when you have to provide the instance domain anyway.

I think the biggest issue is that u/spez thinks Reddit content is proprietary when it’s really a public forum.

I didn’t know that. Yet another reason to love Apollo.

Apollo’s video and gif player was so good. Scrub anywhere you want, fast loading, and compared to the official Reddit app — it actually worked.
