Well, it was Jack Welch who started the braindead “line goes up” trend of making their share price raise by any means, usually layoffs. Before him, people still had jobs for life and were somwhat looked after by their employers. Behind the bastards podcast did a good episode on him.

We have Jack Welch to thank for this trend. It wasn’t always that way.

Hadn’t it already massively dropped in value before the purchase was finalized, and that’s why he wanted to back out? How is everybody overlooking that?

Lol, how simplistic do you have to be to believe this means anything? First off, you need to believe in good and evil, which are completely arbitrary. And do you think they thought “hmm, we need to start doing evil things do extract more profit… Change the motto so everybody knows! But then we’ll pretend to not be evil when confronted about this change…”

Maybe being evil would be to not change the motto and start doing evil acts anyway. Simpler answer is that somebody probably thought it was a stupid thing to have on there in the first place, and was likely thought up by a Cheeto stained LOTR neckbeard.

Great, now do rdr2.

I could never find any that worked well, and the translations in chrome were too good.

This is a game changer for me. I always loved Firefox and tried to use it exclusively, but living in a foreign country is hard when you’re learning the language, and I had to switch to chrome sometimes due to the lack of translation in Firefox. Now I can finally remove Chrome!

It’s more the principal that Google doesn’t care about their ecosystem or users. There would be uproar if Apple killed their podcasts app, since it has been around for so long. But Android users are just used to this shit now.

What an awesome app. Really, it’s unusual to see an open source app be so polished. Thanks for the recommendation.

This is why Google will forever be behind Apple. Any app that can’t be monetised gets killed. Why give Android users a stable ecosystem after all? Fuck the users. Google fucking sucks.

Exactly. Though usually once somebody does, that’s when the authorities get involved.

Good. There are people out there who ruin all the nice things. Just host your own damn server and download your own content like a normal person.

What’s wrong with Firefox?

Why are the memes on Lemmy so bad? Am I just past it?

Nice!

It doesn’t have translations. I use it anyway, but it’s a minor inconvenience as I live in a foreign country.

Look at Rupert Murdoch. He unquestionably holds more power than Musk and has been at it for a long time. Democracy is an illusion, since people are very easily influenced by the media they consume.

Well how else is he going to find a new planet… duh!

I just bought one this past weekend to replace my Apple TV, since I ditched the iPhone years ago and I’m pretty much out of the Apple ecosystem. I tried the Chromecast with Google TV too but it was too slow, even though the Google TV UI was nicer.

Yeah I remember having really shit speeds when I lived in Berlin (10mpbs). Not only that, but the data allowances and price on 4g were absurd.
