I’d expend your tldr just a bit to include.

  • users are stupid
  • software is designed to work for both Tom Tecnowizard and Paul Pebkac
  • finally, ads ruin everything they touch

In my opinion, where this “movement” failed was in the messaging.

“Stop Killing Games” is a great slogan written by a young person without much experience.

No company or government will pass a law that says, “you must indefinitely support every game you ever release”. Now, I understand that this isn’t what the group was calling for, but this is the message that comes across. Because of that, it immediately loses support from anyone in any type of software industry and likely many other industries as we know it isn’t realistic.

RIP Google Play Music. The best music service to ever exist.

I’ve gotten my last 2 jobs through LinkedIn. I know it doesn’t work well for some fields, but for tech it is great.

Exactly my thought. LinkedIn didn’t scrape their own data.

Unfortunately, it was originally seeded with people from the meta mod community in Reddit and so they brought all that with them.

Some discussions are awesome, but anything remotely controversial is a pure echo chamber and you’ll get shouted down if you dissent.

It is just a store. People want to buy games from a social platform for some reason.

Why do these articles never have a screenshot of the change. So annoying.

Gen Z is app savvy, not tech savvy. Very very different.

Similar to you, but I also hate the advertising industry with a burning passion and want to deprive them of any and all data possible.

[–] hightrix@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

This is fucking ridiculous. I’m actually speechless.

I’m not even the least bit surprised.
