Because the “you wouldn’t steal a car” nonsense scares a lot of people off
Because some people want to support the creators of content but digital downloads from iTunes or whatever are more expensive than getting a month of a streaming service
Because there is a level of convenience of having thousands of hours of content at your fingertips without having to store content locally or finding it on a “dodgy” website. Setting up torrents / usenet is more work than giving someone your credit card number
Because a lot of people don’t know where to find content and if they did they don’t know the difference between a 480p avi vs a 2160p HDR DV MKV and get confused with torrents and file formats and how to get them on their TV.
Because - at the moment - the ads aren’t that bad, I got one ad at the start and one episode in the middle of an episode of Gen V - obviously they’ll add more until it’s as bad as cable but they’re not there yet.
I wish Kagi wasn’t as expensive as it is.
If it was $5 a month for unlimited searches I would be all over it but 300 searches is too few and $10 is too much money.
It’s easier and more efficient to wrap yourself up with blankets and covers and use minimal heating (with decent home insulation) to warm yourself up than it is to cool down when you are too hot.
I would love to see it!
Nearly 36 degrees (that’s 96 Freedom Units) in the Arctic circle?!?
How is this not bigger news?!
We’re so fucked :(
I think there is a big difference between the passive warming / cooling of clothing vs the huge energy requirement, spent resources and emissions required to basically run your entire home / office / factory / hotel as a giant fridge.
Humans probably shouldn’t be living in these conditions if they can’t survive without AC, no?
Not bad, but I prefer Swatch Internet Time
Agreed.
I would be hyped to play a new version of actual Marathon, it’s a game that existed before my time and was only on Mac before they were cool so basically no one played it.
This is just a different skin on a genre that has no interest whatsoever to me.
When it’s done right, it’s amazing. The problem is that (here in the UK) it’s just terrible.
Example, going from London to Edinburgh
A flight takes 1h30m and costs £33 A train takes 4h26m and costs £178
Yes there are other monetary costs involved (driving to the airport, parking) and other time costs involved (you need to be at the airport 90 minutes early) but the headline price make a flight seem like much better value for time and money.
Trains are also often late or cancelled, this seems to happen much less with flights.
Until flights are taxed to hell people aren’t going change their habits.
The UK could meet its net-zero goals if it halved the number of private-jet flights.
Flying isn’t entirely horrible, but private jets are just about the worst thing you can do for the environment.
I don’t know for sure in this case but some EA games require you to use EA Play as a launcher, even if you buy the game through Steam.
It’s EA Play now, which is actually somehow worse than Origin was.
Still, Titanfall 2 is actually a great game (probably my favourite of the PS4 era) and is well worth a little suffering for.
Yeap, but Digg was still pretty early in it’s life and was very much catering for tech nerds.
Reddit is basically the home of all communities these days, its swallowed what used to be individual forums from around the web and put them into a single place.
Building those new communities across multiple lemmy instances also adds to the complexity.
Reddit also didn’t have Reddit to compete with, which certainly makes things harder.
Hooray!
The soundtracks are absolutely incredible for a kids show.
At what point does this shit count as a hate crime?
Are you talking about the bookmarks bar?
If so, I had to use “customise toolbar” to drag it onto the space.
