In actual human terms:

“Yes, I’ll handle this problem for you, but I’ll need $0.000001 to cover the cost of the shared infrastructure.”

“Fuck off”

C should be F tier. Both of its sounds are already represented by other letters. It only exists to add konfusion and its usage must sease.

Yeah, Thanos has principles and his actions are backed by altruism. Musk is a spineless self-serving parasite with actions backed my ketamine.

Eh, with that logic you could argue that all music streaming services are the same product with different front ends. Which, in a way, is kinda true…

Go existed for a few years before Now was released, and they were separate websites/apps. I’d say they qualify as different products. I would be interested to know if they shared any backend tech though. Would probably save a pretty penny if they shared a CDN.

HBO Go required a cable subscription and Now didn’t. I think both of them only had shows produced by HBO, so it was a much smaller collection.

Go was around for a few years as the only HBO streaming platform, but it came with your cable subscription, so you had to pay for a super expensive cable package to access it. That’s partly why Game of Thrones was the top pirated TV show ever, at least at the time.

They eventually released Now, which to my understanding was just Go but you could pay for it directly without a cable package. Both Go and Now existed simultaneously for a few years.

Eventually HBO Max was released, which is the platform we know today with a lot more than just HBO content. That one was renamed to just Max and is now being renamed again back to HBO Max because Max is a stupid name.

HBO Go and HBO Now were different products though

Silly domestic remote employees want a livable wage and are less tolerant to being paid less because they don’t live in an overpriced area.

“You pay me $36,738 to glance at your leg and tell you there’s nothing I can do, and you think me to be satisfied? scoff See you next tomorrow for your weekly checkup, otherwise I’m cutting off all of your prescriptions.”

There is nothing in the algorithm tied to BTC price. Sure, you’ll likely tend to get less miners as the price decreases, but that doesn’t guarantee that it’s profitable. Plenty of people, organizations, governments, etc do things that aren’t immediately profitable and may never be.

Is that yellow and red thing an indoor firepit? How does that work, is there a giant vent hood above it?

It’s secure messaging for the average joe. Organizations can achieve this compliance with an MDM, but I’m not asking Grandma to install my MDM on her phone to see my Wordle results. And sharing your device list (plus, you’d likely need ip location for this feature to be useful, in addition to interrogating your friends about what devices they use) with any random person you’re messaging is arguably more of a security threat than the risk of some moron linking any random device that asks to be linked.

LMAO this is soooo true. Recently went on a hiking trip at a national park where there were lines to get into the parking lot, but as soon as you stepped off the paved trail the crowd went down 90%, and a short walk later and we were the only ones in the whole park.

The other glaring weakness is that if you invite Putin to your group chat, Russia gets access to all of your messages!! /s (though, I guess it’s a real threat with this administration)

The housing market almost doubled prices during COVID. I don’t think it’s unexpected that prices would settle down and readjust in the years following.

1.7% YOY decrease is a bubble popping?

“Works for me and my sister.”

Anyone that wants to scrape Lemmy would have an easier time setting up their own server, federating with everyone, and reading straight from their DB. No web scraping required. Though, web scraping defenses would be useful against general web scrapers/crawlers.

They typically don’t. They do proxy it if there is something preventing a direct connection, but the proxy bandwidth is super limited and results in pretty terrible playback quality.
