Rokk, to asklemmy in What are Lemmy's unwritten rules?

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.

Rokk, to asklemmy in Who went "full fedi" yet?

Why is matrix better than discord?

Rokk, to asklemmy in What are Lemmy's unwritten rules?

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

Rokk, to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?

I actually find one of the interesting parts of the books being the kind of way that misinformation can spread across the country.

Like a character does one thing and that action gets attributed to a whole bunch of different people by different characters.

But yea, I’m on book 9 now and definitely a bit frustrated with nobody just talking about things.

Rokk, to technology in WhatsApp head Will Cathcart says the chat app could introduce ads in Status

It’s not so much laziness as the reason you’ve given - everyone else is on WhatsApp. Why would I move to a new messaging app when I literally can’t message the people I want to message on it cause they don’t have it.

Rokk, to games in Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts.

I mean, the easy option is just selecting your level of experience at the beginning and offering experienced players an option to skip the tutorial.

Rokk, to asklemmy in What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?

Cambridge Analytica stuff though I think mostly revolved around them identifying more vulnerable users.

I don’t consider myself vulnerable to this stuff (I may consider grandparents and certain friends a bit more vulnerable) - should I still be worried about them having my personal data? I obviously would rather they don’t have my vulnerable relatives data so they aren’t manipulated, but for me personally does it matter?

Rokk, to android in OnePlus Open review: Should you buy it? - Android Authority

As someone that used to love OnePlus, what’s the more recent equivalent?

I felt like around the 3 or so, I could get a flagship-ish phone for a reasonable price. Is there anything like that now?

Rokk, to movies in Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, wants no-mance over romance, a new study finds

Space Jam

Rokk, to technology in Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’

For parts of the world ‘free bank’ and ‘free transfers’ are just the norm anyway. I’m amazed it isn’t the case in the US already.

Rokk, to gaming in PS5 Slim’s Lack Of Fanfare Speaks Volumes About This Generation

I switched the opposite direction a year or two ago.

Being stuck sat a desk at work all day makes me want to game on the sofa in the evenings and I find a console a much handier way of doing that.
