Where they at tho?

We all know there’s barely enough people here. It’s not unusable, but there are so few people it’s always the same users posting and commenting, and it can be a bit dead occasionally.

I’m committed to the fediverse, but we could do with another big push from people dumping Reddit. Part of that would also rely on us (🫵) not being obnoxious towards the potential new users 👀

That’s like absolutely nothing to YouTube to be fair

Did video piracy ever really falter?

Even semi popular movies and shows are always available in a range of qualities, going up to extremely high quality if you get on a private tracker.

Rarbg shutting down was the biggest hit imo, but still lots of options.

Not directly related, but they switched me from Virgin Mobile to O2 after their merger. Fucking nightmare, despite them telling me that I don’t need to do anything.

Broke the direct debit, they set me up with an account that will not accept a password even after a reset, then I ran out of data as the new service has different usage notifications that threw me off.

I shortly after cancelled the sim, and dreaming of the day I can switch ISP.

Hmm, we’ll have to agree to disagree there. They can 100% decrease the size of the processing bits and reduce weight.

I just think it’s very shortsighted to look at such an early version of the product and say “it won’t change much”. Especially when however many years ago you could have said that what we’ve got right now isn’t possible.

I mean, you can just take it off?

Also, regarding the adoption of the headset, I think it’s absolutely crazy to say that it probably won’t get less bulky. Tech is constantly getting smaller and that will be the number one priority with the headset.

If they can make the price and comfort level right, then I do think it becomes a mainstream product. Not saying people wear it 24/7, but that most households would have one, and it would become somewhat important for WFH and remote meetings.

I’m not a fanboy for Apple, but personally I just think it is the tech of the (relatively) near future.

lol, this comment perfectly captures what a Lemmy user is like

I like how those people didn’t appreciate you taking away their circlejerk opportunity, so just downvoted you instead 😂

I swear half of Lemmy is just people talking about how they don’t use Twitter or Reddit.

At this point it really has become a site that provides soft core porn to children though, or where loners go to have some titty steamer exploit their desperation.

It’s just not the platform for it. Do it on a porn site, not where kids go to watch video games.

Throwback to the hard cope when this game released, the fanboy dismissal of any criticism was insane.

Lemmy needs all the users it can get imo.

If we start taking a “well, we don’t want those people” stance, then it’s going to fizzle out.

And it’s all well and good people saying “I don’t want an overly large community!”, but you need frequent activity or it’s not a real community.

A community with say five posts a day and four active commenters is essentially dead.
