  • A Premium subscription is no longer enough. Now they want $3 a month per “membership” channel.

  • A lot of creators are going to Patreon because they're smart enough to recognize that putting all eggs in the YouTube basket yields diminishing returns over time. Hopefully this doesn't change that.

  • Yes it's YouTube trying to stop creators from going to Patreon

  • Source for that claim? My understanding is that the changes were for usability purposes.

  • Bazzite sees a massive jolt in installs in late June and early July, catapulting it to over 86k active devices. It has doubled the number of active devices since November.

  • Yes exactly, my potentially hot take is that twenty years from now we'll look at immutability as the tipping point that sent Linux mainstream on desktop.

  • Is there a reason to pick Fedora over Ubuntu?

    Jump

  • I think Fedora Kinoite is the best distro for someone coming from Windows due to KDE's flexibility and similarity to Windows and it's immutability. Default Ubuntu is great for people familliar with MacOS, and it can even be themed to be basically indistinguishable.

  • Matrix or Signal?

    Jump

  • Signal is more like WhatsApp, Element/Matrix is aiming to be more like Telegram or Discord.

  • Looking for an alternative for Google Keep's simple checklists

    Jump

  • The best todo list I found is Vikunja which syncs with Tasks.org app, but it can't handle reminders well and doesn't work with Google assistant.

    I think it's crazy that Keep out of of all the Google apps is without a 1:1 replacement.

  • Induction coils to track vehicles?

    Jump

  • Unless you're driving a vehicle from the 20th century, the car itself is going to be tracking significantly more information than even the most nefarious possible use of something in the picture.

  • Right, they're not bots just zealots who got banned from everywhere else.

  • yeach exactly diversity is the spice of life i'm glad to see you changed your mind on rimu

  • what you call enhance i call low effort slop that turns away new users BUT to each their own i guess

    copying a jpg and posting it is not a high effort activity I'm sorry it just drowns out other types of content

  • I didn't say anything about votes, you said it would be "quieter" without PugJesus reposting memes, but I think "quiet" is in the ear of the beholder. Some of us prefer quality to artificial activity.

  • None of THAT background stuff will affect you on Lemmy.World, except that you’ll see a quieter network overall, especially now that PugJesus is leaving us.

    Honestly not having "all" flooded with memes might leave room for some actual conversations to breathe but also chasing karma on the fediverse is wild

    Democrats campaigning on "affordability" are cutting back on their anti-oil rhetoric but they should be focusing on removing the red tape surrounding solar, which could be much cheaper!
