I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.

I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn’t want me to read their article I will not do it.

But… they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.

Than there is problem with I don’t trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.

Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.

While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.

If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month… or a year).

I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.

Thank you for mentioning Pie Fed, I neverd heard of it until now, but looks great. Clean code, intro video for developers, db structure exolained. Really friendly for new contributors, quite refreshing.

If those options are functional, otherwise focus on making some of them functional.

Yeah, and he is not pretending. He is taking publicly about price for him to show up in music video. I can imagine this is probably similar, someone payed him to use his name on dog products. He got some money and doesn’t care.

For me it depends where on the spectrum they are and how old they are. Some older people are totally normal for my definition of normal and would have hard time to explain difference between them and just some introvert.

Sadly I know few kids with autism and while I know that it is autism, to tell you the truth they seam stupid (low inteligence) or something like that. They do not speak, there is no reasoning with them, no explanation from them even at 5 yo.

I usually doubt it is just autism and think there must be some teauma too, since their parents are not really good parents.

I hope they will learn to speak or communicate in some way, because like this they will not be able to take care of themselves.

Not OP, so I can not be certain what exactly they thought, but I alsi think that while idea of capitalism is that competition will bring best product to the top, it is pretty damn hard to make great and successful product.

My understanding, and belief, is that they internationaly push only mediocre if not completely bad products, so that consumer expectations are being kept low.

They don’t want to hear ‘they don’t build them like they used to’ any more. It is not good for business.

This js so obvious with movies and tv shows. From management’s perspective success is totaly random and non understadable, so keep expectations low.

We still talk about Firefly, about Braking Bad, Sopranos, even Star Trek Thr Next Generations for a reason, but it is hard to make something equally good again so they all make mediocre shows.

I like this idea and it sounds easy to implement without changing underlying infrastructure.

It would be nice being able to publish communities I follow and check out other people feeds, not only similar communities’

There are teachers that are trying to find what you know, and those that are trying to prove that you don’t know.

Second kind is not my favourite.

While technically true, article is missing the point and is not showing good sides.

But it might be good, if someone comes here expecting complicated technical experience, it might keep them around. At least they are acknowledging lemmy exist.

I think it has happened numerous times already under the same pretense.

I am not sure if we are saved or not.

You don’t really understand humans, do you? Or you don’t want to accept what being human is?

Yes, most people give up as soon as something does not work first time.

Maybe there are enough of us to be enough abd to fix those annoying little things that make lemmy complicated to use.

A lot if issues got resolved, apps are here,it is getting better fast.

I understand it a bit differently. In sentence “I don’t feel like paying” can be hidden different things and most probably a combination of few.

Maybe “i am ashamed I can not afford it” or " not sure if friend can afford it rigth now" or just plain old 'if we really like it we might find money for it, but are not sure we like it enough and that amount of money is serious expense for both of us".

I visited reddit yesterday.

When ever I am forced to sign something (like some contract addendum for my job) I write that I don’t understand anything on that paper, or now I write it in email before e-signing.

If they were not aware of it before buying then it is illegal.

Go to Yoga and dance classes.

questionable naming schemes

Yes, because no one wants to have problems with someone’s trademark, since that would foce them to change app name.

Easiest way to avoid this is using strange name.

Well… exactly. It is the same, if you are not as lazy as most people.

If it is not important, that join-lemmy cound just send them to random one, and not asking confusing questions.
