Don’t worry, if they don’t you can just use ai to make them.

Tesla now sells the tri-motor Cybertruck for $100,000 and only has a range of 320 miles.

The dual-motor Cybertruck was supposed to cost $50,000 and have over 300 miles of range. In reality, it starts at $80,000 and has 325 miles of range.

So, the cheaper model with two motors (why even) has a larger range than the full price model with three motors™®?

LMAO.

Unironically the mindset of guys like cm002.

Nooo we can’t do that because I don’t 100% align with the beliefs of lemmys devs so I’d rather see the project go broke

Why are you skipping over the alternative venues of revenue I suggested that wouldn’t be as problematic? Because without you couldn’t paint me as irrational, asking the poor corpo to not make more money than last quarter at their customers expense 😔

They can pay their employees just fine. They do this because the investors want their returns.

First of all, I don’t have a horse in this race. My media is stored locally and used only by my household. I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.

My issue is with how they are doing it. Provide an extra service or function, introduce a higher tier with priority treatment or so. Thats fine with me.

What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free, because the shitty venture capital business model isn’t feasible and only provided these things to capture the market, and now comes the nickel and diming part of providing ever fewer services and functions for ever increasing amounts of money.

As for jellyfin, thats open source AFAIK. So why even mention that here as some sort of gotcha? If it enshittifies people will fork it and move on.

I’m just curious, why are you so vehemently defending a shitty move by a corporation? No matter how you tackle the issue, taking away a function that used to be free and evidently has no costs associated to the corp is a textbook example of enshittification.

It is pretty damn obvious how this will continue.

I suspected that, but why the hell is “proof of work” nothing of any use or value? That just seems so fundamentally absurd it doesn’t compute for me apparently

To this day, I have not understood what exactly is even being calculated, and for what real world application. I mean, I understand mostly what crypto is and how it works, but not why doing those calculations results in financial gain.

From the Führer perspective it makes perfect sense.

What do you do when you are a totalitarian ruler afraid of ambitious upstarts? You give them administrative responsibility, and then subtly pit them against each other, making them tear each other down while competing for your favor. And if push comes to shove you use the conflicting jurisdictions to accuse whoever comes out on top of abuse of power.

There was even a time when AMA guests would just do the AMA for fun, or to get in touch with their fans. Not just when they are starring in a new movie or show / have “written” a book or some other financial motivation looming overhead.

That’s actually far less than I expected.

Don’t aggregate me pal

Certainly true, but then it is more an issue of what opinions they are fed than them not being a direct part of the conversations, no?

I dont like working out either

Perhaps this is a little pretentious but i don’t consider the cattle type of users, who will go where the most people are, like the most popular content, and generally follow along with the digital mainstream without much thought or personal agenda, valuable additions to online conversations. As far as I’m concerned they can stay wherever they are and if needed be fed some downstream summary of what the actual people talk about elsewhere.

Because it doesn’t matter how good they are when they are confronted with a bunch of guys just as good except they are a meter taller and have a wing span like a fucking condor. Those will simply be better at the game.

Arguing this, I realized you could answer your question by replacing “average height men” with women and you know right away why.

I’d say it is more notoriety than popularity.

Thinking of it perhaps it is the client I use that does it, voyager. I have never not been using it ever since I joined lemmy so i often forget that i might have a different experience than other users.

I have a sum total displayed in my profile which works as I described, and assumed that is what everyone gets to see.
