Unfortunately, your statement probably only deserves bothsides.jxl. Please attempt to honestly and objectively compare things, despite the personal inconvenience.

They make mistakes, but Firefox and Mozilla are obviously nowhere near as fucked up as Chrome and Google by any measure. And Firefox would only improve if people stopped running back to Chrome when something was not perfect.

But where does it end?! Next, they’ll want better health benefits or paid leave, AND 17G SUPER FAST MAGIC INTERNET THROUGH THE AIR! Please think of the poor shareholders…

I think many people would like employers to stop wasting money (on stuff like amenities and activities that were not requested). Instead, make the job more attractive by listening and responding to actual concerns (like WFH, hours, wages).

“This is your brain on drugs tips.”

But seriously: If a federal livable wage ($20+, adjusted regularly) killed tipping, what a relief that would be to most people. Tipping should return to being an unexpected surprise for truly exceptional service.

I wish these guys had the courage to unionize. It would drastically improve their pay. The highest paid stars need to lead and support the effort. Fuck Dana and co, they know it’s inevitable, probably just pleasantly surprised it’s taking so long. Happy to see Francis Ngannou free and doing well.

Almost unusable right now. Excruciatingly slow. Many errors (“502 Bad Gateway”, Liftoff, Android). Website is not any better. Not sure if “hug of death” DDOS effect from new users or server problems (esp. from new updates).

Allegedly, yes. Where did the millions of dollars of revenue go, from all the ads and sponsors (which completely infest their app)?

Reddit execs decided they needed thousands (?!) of employees, despite mods running the subreddits for free. They could never make an app as fully featured as those with literally one employee. And it took years for them to deliver promised features and mod tools (many are very recent or still unavailable).

Lemmy and Mastodon, and all their apps, are running thanks mostly to a few dozen awesome people and donations.

Where did Reddit’s millions of dollars disappear to again? And how is that not damning proof of their current execs incompetence?

(Note: I direct this /rant in Reddit’s general direction.)

“crashes on occasion”

Unfortunately, the occasion seems to be at least once every five minutes for me. thisisfine.jpg This is not fine and definitely a major issue. Especially as we get closer to July 1. After this news from lemmy.world, I will have to switch, probably to Connect, until Sync arrives.

I first thought my Jerboa was fine (despite the popup warning about version), since I could browse a bit without it obviously exploding. But no, it crashes regularly now (closes, no warning or messages).

I don’t understand why a Lemmy update would be considered for release that removes security features like captcha support. (Especially during this time of high rates of signups, and well known bot wave in some instances.)

Combined with Jerboa update that needs the Lemmy update, and popularity of instances that need captcha, it’s unfortunately causing a mess for many users.

2FAS, because it’s fucking beautiful (UI, dark mode, lovely site logos). It has a couple backup options. Also using Bitwarden (paid feature) for less important sites; it’s quicker but I prefer my 2FA truly separate from passwords.
