The research firm’s top property economist likens the decline in office demand to what malls have experienced over the last six years—and sees a similar outcome.
I like the F150 but when the Ford CEO says "I make trucks for real people who do real work," as a "non-real" person who "doesn't do real work as I don't need a truck", well, he can fuck right off. What an asshole.
I've been thinking a lot about why I decided to come here and I know it started off as a "they can't make me use their shitty app!" while simultaneously using test apps that crash and navigating less content than Reddit. What is the primary motivation for all of this anymore? Is anger enough of a motivation to keep people away...
I'm not sure I would have ultimately left even due to the current API drama. But the subsequent comments by their CEO caused me to not only leave but delete all my content from their site. What an arrogant self important stupid jackass.
Yeah, I find it extremely off putting how they feel so confident to declare ownership over content we all gave them and built for free. Worse, at the same time they accuse US of being freeloaders! If I'm contributing free content I expect at a minimum some respect and civility in return, not being treated like some free slave labour.
That's true, but most of the terms are scoped as "to provide the service." This is explicitly scoped to allow them to do anything "in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world" and even claims to be able to use your name and voice and possibly photo if it's "connected" with your content. I can't imagine something this broad would be held up in courts but who knows.
They came after a small sub I moderate today too. My response was to make a sticky post to the sub with the contents of the mod mail and a recommendation for everyone to move to kbin or lemmy. I hadn't planned on giving reddit any more free content anyways given their behaviour.
I just spent all day today fighting with reddit, trying to get all my comments deleted/overwritten: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/45417/Anyone-have-experience-with-deleting-comments-to-see-older-comments#entry-comment-190482...
The office real estate crash will be so sharp and deep that Capital Economics thinks office values are unlikely to recover by 2040 (fortune.com)

Ford CEO says Tesla's Cybertruck is only for 'Silicon Valley people' and he's not threatened by it: 'I make trucks for real people who do real work' (www.businessinsider.com)

If Reddit phased out 3rd party apps gradually and tactfully, do you think this would have gone the way it has? The Reddit app is terrible, but is it any worse than navigating and learning the fediverse so far? Be honest. (kbin.social)

The admins finally came for r/FreeAtheism (kbin.social)
The usual admin threat to reopen here:...
Well shit, they're even going after tiny not-so-active subs like mine (lemmy.world)
What should I do now lol
PSA: If you have more than 1000 posts, more than 1000 comments, chances are, if you think you deleted/overwrote/shredded everything, you're probably wrong. (kbin.social)
