Have any of the offenders on any of the recent shows that did the same actually responded to the backlash?

MagicShel, in Netflix Is Reportedly Planning a Price Hike After the Ongoing Hollywood Actors’ Strike Ends | Entertainment News

That fits perfectly with my plan to keep subscribing until the actors get a good contact and then drop Netflix.

TWeaK, in Netflix Is Reportedly Planning a Price Hike After the Ongoing Hollywood Actors’ Strike Ends | Entertainment News

This will keep going until they see a significant enough drop in subscribers. Apparently it’s working well for them.

TWeaK,

Why play the game of sink or swim when you can sail?

IP maximalists really screwed the pooch by inventing the term ‘piracy’ for copyright infringement, they made the act sound ten times cooler.

Conyak, in ChatGPT's mobile app hit record $4.58M in revenue last month, but growth is slowing | TechCrunch

And we all know that growth must continue exponentially or there is no point. Fuck capitalism!

Sina,

The problem is not capitalism, but rather venture capitalism.

The problem is capitalism.

Critical_Insight,

You probably mean infinite growth. I haven’t heard even the most avid capitalists advocating for exponential growth.

May I stress that Canadians are a terrible testing ground. We are a beaten down nation of gougees, Americans and elsewhere might not be so placid about this. (Did American netflix already crack down on password sharing?)

BeMoreCareful,

Americans bark, but we don’t bite capital’s hand.

Indeed, those slight distortions are a surefire clue that this art is a witch!

The AI image checkers are of course great evidence and never return false positives, but just to be sure I'd like to see whether the image sinks or floats when thrown in a pond.

Maven,

Imagine if it’s not AI lol

Imagine being a graphic artist and waking up to find the internet is dragging you for being ‘fake’. “A HUMAN WOULDN’T MAKE THESE MISTAKES”

Oh no! Growth is slowing!! Everyone panic! Aaaahhhhhh

otter, in Buzzy social app Fizz sues rival Sidechat over unfair competition practices | TechCrunch

This isn’t really world news, it’s not even important tech news

Just two random startups competing over funding?

GameWarrior, in Buzzy social app Fizz sues rival Sidechat over unfair competition practices | TechCrunch

I have never heard of either of these apps.

Pons_Aelius, in Netflix Is Reportedly Planning a Price Hike After the Ongoing Hollywood Actors’ Strike Ends | Entertainment News

Why do I get the feeling that Netflix would be raising prices this year even if the writers and actors strikes had never happened.

This stinks of the suits using the strike as something to blame the price rise on.

WarmSoda,

Exactly. They’re just using the strike as an excuse.

Pons_Aelius,

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

toothpicks,

Exactly. Fuck that behavior!

Perhaps, and this is very cynical of me, they are thinking, how can we make folks feel bad against the writers and actors?

  1. price hike and people pay for it: They blame the writers and actors for the price hike.
  2. price hike and people do not pay for it and leave, Netflix and people can blame the writers and actors as well. ("see!!! those demands are just not accepted by people!!! ")

It’s the only reason for the price hike I think.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

The more obvious reason to me is that they've got X subscribers, and they think they can make Y more dollars by raising prices for all of them.

Safeguard,
@Safeguard@beehaw.org avatar

I think Netflix would simply see that as a nice extra benefit. But the main reason is to “stick it” to the writers/actors. Without incurring the wrath of customers for the price hike themselves, they will just point their finger…

Maeve, in WhatsApp May Soon Bring a Secret Code Feature for Locked Chats: Report | Technology News

Anyone who thinks anything Meta/Zucc related is private by now needs to buy my Indianapolis beach-front property.

Critical_Insight,

It depends who you want to keep it private from. If the answer is from Facebook, then use Signal, but this should still help if your device ends up in the wrong hands.

bluegreenzeros,

Lots of kids wanting to hide stuff from their parents and cheating partners will love this feature. If you’re a journalist, activist or similar I wouldn’t trust it

Facebones, in Joint Statement on Israel- US, UK, France, Italy, Germany

“We support Isrealis and Palestinians equally, just only one of them is terrorists”

“We support them in a separate but equal way”

Sauvandu59, (edited ) in At least 9 Americans killed in Hamas attack on Israel

i wonder how many of those 9 american were also having Israel citizenship.

Rapidcreek,

Both US and Israel recognize dual citizenship.

Plume, in Brave lays off 9% of its workforce | TechCrunch

Brave? You mean the privacy focused web browser which marketing’s is so awful I can’t get myself to trust it, due to how much of it looks like a malware crypto scam, who was made by an asshole who was outed from Mozilla for being a homophobic asshole? Yeah. Fuck Brave.
