Did you read the article? "MCU" appears nowhere in it and Sony is mentioned 10+ times. This has nothing to do with the MCU whatsoever.

Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.

This is tech journalism now? Might as well have had ChatGPT write the article too...what a waste of time

It helps to separate the technology from the companies. We don't need Google, Amazon, or any other company to make use of network connected technology. It doesn't have to be internet-connected, either. You can have a completely automated home with no more risk of intrusion than a standard locked door already has from a well-placed boot.

Damn they won't make me magnetic? That would be useful, I could avoid dropping screws and bits every time I do a project.

I hope not - or at least not for a long time. There are too many core features and functions missing to spend time on stuff like that right now, IMO.

He's one of maybe 3 YouTubers whose videos I will immediately click on when I see a new one. Gonna miss his content, it's always genuinely interesting.

For what it's worth, this is exactly how Reddit was in the early days. I remember a niche sub being something that had maybe 30-50 members, now basically every subject has a subreddit with communities in the 5000+ range.

Just give it time. If there is a particular community you're missing, use this as an opportunity to start it over here and start getting people involved.

Does it? I hadn't noticed, I haven't been over there in quite a while.

The harshness is intentional because Reddit is gearing up to aim themselves at a new audience. They know that they are going to lose a big chunk of their users - they want that. Those of us who were using third party apps were probably the least convertible in terms of profit.

The mentality is our way or the highway, and in this case they win no matter what because for every one of us they lose, they are going to gain 20x. They want those TikTok numbers, and this is how they plan to get there

Yeah, this is something I thought about as soon as the blackout started. I am in the IT world and as soon as it happened, it got really difficult to find certain bits of crucial information, because those bits of info were stored within Reddit comments.

Anyone in the tech world can tell you that besides Stack Overflow and Github, Reddit is right up there among the most leaned-on tech resources these days. Never before was there a bigger forum of tech people discussing their work. Those results were suddenly, instantly no longer valid, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed that. This is part of why Reddit was scrambling to open subs back up - if more than 2 or 3 weeks went by, Google would have removed those listings from the search.

I'm pretty content with KBin. As time goes on the content level will increase and hopefully remain at a level which makes it easy to curate my feed and reduce noise. Truth be told Reddit has been getting worse for a long time and being here reflects that. This feels a lot like what Reddit felt like 10 years ago.
