Always link the source if you post a comic, article, ...

sag,

Yep, It’s important… Actually everyone just copy @crul even me.LMAO

Rokk,

FOSS but also no ads. And don’t harvest any data to sell either.

I genuinely don’t understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.

But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn’t really matter if you were to charge for your product

The internet existed for a long time prior to monetization of it. People used to do things because they were good ideas, fun, or helpful.

Revenue streams made things worse.

Rokk,

I think it’s a pretty bold statement to claim that the Internet today is worse than it was 20 years ago before things were being monetised.

People still do stuff just for the sake of it. To be fun, helpful, whatever. However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.

glasgitarrewelt,

However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people’s hearts I think is bordering on entitled.

Yes, there are people who do that, but there are many more people in the FOSS world who don’t expect anything and instead contribute.

Focusing on the entitled people won’t make you happy, reagardless the topic.

@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Funny, because the Boost app I’m using shows ads on the bottom.

cheese_greater,

You might need to buy it

People being mad at youtube for trying to force people to pay for the insanely expensive service they are providing was/is strange to me, on a similar note.

For FOSS, it’s sort of given in the name though. If it’s not free, it wouldn’t be FOSS, and companies like Google and Facebook have permanently destroyed most people trust in ads not also being paired with data harvesting. Other than offering paid tech support, it’s difficult to find a non intrusive way to get money.

People want prefer a tiny icon in the description where the author(s) ask for donations, but don’t they dare pop up donations to ask for donations though!

cheese_greater,

Nobody has a problem paying, people have a problem with Google tracking and selling off their shit

SgtAStrawberry,

I don’t think those people want revenue to exist, as in everything and all should be free forever and always.

intensely_human,

Why are people so obsessed with writing down unwritten rules?

sweetcuppincakes, (edited )

Autism

Just to clarify, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being autistic

intensely_human,

I’m autistic myself. Unwritten rules are generally far more complex than their written form, and the translation into words loses a lot of information. I’d encourage all other autistics to develop their attention and working memory, and then the unwritten rules will start to become apparent.

sbv,

EVERYTHING done/said by conservative politicians is TERRIBLE. Even if this thing is okay, THEY WERE BAD THAT TIME and that’s what we’re going to talk about NOW. COMMENCE THE AIRING OF THE GRIEVANCES.

I don’t entirely disagree, but do we need to do the rage thread every time?

FreshProduceAndShit,

Someone also needs to pipe up to remind you the other side is bad too

cheese_greater, (edited )

I think it would be more helpful for knowledgeable conservatives to stop engaging in bad faith campaigns like “Wokeism” whatever the fuck that is. Its called

Don’t be a fucking [raging] asshole, be a decent neighbor and person and all concern from every side regarding wokeism will evaporate.

Edit: also, drop the stupid “War on Christmas” horseshit. Donald Trump formally won that war, so sayeth him and Fox News. Move out, boys, that task force/cultural narrative can be safely put to bed. Fuck

GentlemanLoser,

Rule 0 - talking about how cool Lemmy is

kewwwi,
@kewwwi@lemmy.world avatar

can we be the internet community that doesn’t pretend we’re a tight knit group with injokes and ‘right’ opinions?

there’s already enough of those and I hate navigating their dumb shit.

NotSpez,

Sure, that can be a new unwritten rule ;)

cheese_greater,

[mutters] Curses

XbSuper,

It’s a bit late for that. It’s already everywhere, and it’s terrible.

cheese_greater,

Tildes is super strict against that, I got banned for making a joke about wine jelly being rendered into candy

WineGums

Banned!

Also, JAIL! Belive it or not…

sock,

yeah those unwritten rules are why i hardly want to tell anyone about this site. its a bunch of comp sci nerds that finally have a platform to talk to be mildly social

and the humor is very par for course of compsci nerds. dumb, contrived, an obscure reference with a random jpeged gif in the background, etc. not funny.

cheese_greater, (edited )

I have to fight you on the not funny take. I disagree and my oeuvre demonstrates that to the contrary in my respectful submission

sock, (edited )

yo just your other 2 replies in this thread alone, im taking about you. youre the unfunny reddit compsci nerd.

“[mutters]”

cheese_greater,

I’m sorry I don’t satisfy ur standards :P

cheese_greater,

Does he have any redeeming narrative or side?

Resol,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Idk, we just hate him because he got rid of third party apps since it’s so expensive to use the Reddit API now

People like me flocked to alternatives afterwards, which is why I’m now called “Resol van Lemmy”

Poringo, (edited )

I have been curating my experience on lemmy by muting communities I don’t care for like politics, sports, some Linux communities, and also I always filter NSFW.

I have never been happier because I don’t see what I don’t care for.

fne8w2ah,

Eat the rich or GTFO.

cheese_greater,

Sometimes, the pendulum needs to start a’swingin’ the othet direction

sbv,

Chrome BAD, Firefox GOOD. If you disagree, you are WRONG.

cheese_greater,

Librewolf BEST

netchami,

Absolutely

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

No pocket and comes reinstalled with UBO. So… Basically just Firefox but with one or two settings switched off and UBO.

… What’s exactly the point here?

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

If you disagree, you are WRONG.

This only applies until Chrome gets rid of the adblockers next year, if you decide to stay with Chrome I confidently think that you are wrong.

killeronthecorner,
@killeronthecorner@lemmy.world avatar

Firefox: yes.

Chrome: no.

Brave: lord no.

netchami,

LibreWolf > Firefox

job3rg,

Uh oh. Um… My friend uses brave. How screwed is he?

Ya that blog post was hard-R. I love I can smell the bs immediately. I like to pretend Milton from Office Space was the narrator/reader…

Edit: i do that all the time with bitchy, whiny bullcrap (like Family Guy said of Coldplay)

Sphks,
@Sphks@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That’s why I sent a link with comments and not the blogpost itself.
This comment is interesting :
bolha.forum/comment/381393

havokdj,

Hold on,

You do know what hard r means right?

cheese_greater,

Rockhard?

havokdj,

That’s the n word brother

netchami,

Just tell him to switch to LibreWolf

It depends on whether he uses it despite the fact that the developer donates money to homophobic political campaigns, or because of that

Linux is bloat, I’m training the ants in a giant maze, got Doom running on it last weekend.

Nemo,

Are there other people enforcing Rule 3 or am I just aggressive enough about it that it made such an impression?

Either way, I’m pleased.

lemann,

I see a fair few comments about this quite frequently, and I completely agree - there’s a lot of video content that is better off as a written piece. Not everyone wants to sit through 10-15 mins of video that they could have skimmed or read in 2

nul,

Send it to one of those people who make you read their life story before showing you the recipe. They’ll turn it into 30.

cheese_greater,

Please cite these rules (eg Rule #3 blah blah blah). Orherwise, I and others who werent there have no idea what youre talking about and its de facto unrelatable or insccessible

indepndnt,

The OP lists four numbered rules.

cheese_greater,

XD, i thought it was some meme or other highly-siloed knowledge base lol. This is why I engage ;)

TeaHands,
@TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

I make videos and still think they’re an unsuitable format for at least 90% of the stuff they get used for.
