  • Alrighty then, just need to wait for fucking novideo stock to get back to what I bought it at and I’ll dump and switch (don’t have anything spare to play around with sadly)

    I hear you though, I also had(have?) similar physical effect on things like toys as a kid or some electronics since then…just brake shit randomly without trying, especially if I don’t own it.

    Probably the same reason the whole party is still around. It would be awesome to get a real input from someone who lives in Mexico (preferably a normal person and not a summer beach home/mansion owner who pretends to live like normal people do), but honestly don’t know how likely they are to lurk here on Lemmy…surely there is at least one among us?

    My skepticism stems mostly from the “popularity” of former president, supposedly reaching some 80%? Sounds pretty good if it’s genuinely true, but it’s eerily approaching fabled 90-100% authoritarian levels.





  • Oh, I’m not denying that they are greedy assholes. But at the same time I feel like we’re in that comic, they saw an terrible opportunity, implemented this shit and were like “no way anyone is going to fall for that”, and “we” allowed them to like “we” seem to do with many other terrible things in this world, and here we are with them laughing away at “our” stupidity.

    There seem to be just enough dumb people around to enable assholes like this to exist, which I find sad and disturbing. It’s almost like there is a reason certain groups want people to stay dumb and ban books, ban those who are different from learning etc

    Couple of other things about the print stuff; I seriously doubt this even needs to profitable for them in the short term (it likely is), so unless it’s dead on arrival, the longer it keeps going, the more chances this will be the only available solution…perhaps a last ditch effort to milk us dry before printing dies?

    And for anyone who comes across this in the future, at best you’re paying 10x per page compared to what medium size business did many years ago, and no you’re not even getting a real service.


  • FWIW we have dumb business owners to thank for that.

    They’ve been doing this with the Indigo’s for 8+ years that I’m aware of, so probably much longer. And ofc businesses fell for it because just like most cloud shit, nobody can be bothered to calculate actual costs, just fudge stuff and get your bonus/pay rise for pretending to have done something beneficial.



  • I posted that I liked voyager, though it’s missing some features that are in sync (most importantly to me, being able to block community without visiting it) may have been me I guess?

    I don’t care for the formatting stuff, I rarely post, but thunder has the above mentioned so that’s nice. What I instantly hated about thunder after trying it just now was that I can’t scroll back up a feed without it jumping posts in a weird way. Not entirely sure what the problem is but it’s very distracting.

    I’ll try put thunder for a bit, guess I’ll just need to show funny stuff to my wife as soon as I see it rather than trying to scroll back up to it, until I can figure out why it’s doing it or it gets resolved with an update.

    Edit: well that’s bizarre, just opened thunder again after posting this from voyager and I’m not getting the scroll backup issue.

    I’ve stuck with sync since July or whenever it was released and got the $20 adremoval thing. Switched to voyager about a month back now and, inspite of missing a few nice to have features, I now wish I had spent the money donating to them instead.

    I might keep an eye of sync updates, but it’s a bit of joke at this point.
