In the Midwest of the states it kills me. Hey here is the most fertile land ON THE PLANET and were just going to pave over it, add shitty suburban sprawl that will be bankrupt in 30 years, and kill the soil while we’re at it. So goddamn wasteful.

I agree with you, absolutely right, but also

"I’m walking to the store honey, I’ll be back in 90 minutes!

Consistently crappy theaters, other customers who don’t care about the movie, on their phones and talking, and staff that are both not paid enough and told not to deal with those problems.

All of that for now 20 per ticket, double that if you want snacks. My local indie house shows movies with none of those problems.

Same as the golden era for SNL. No you don’t understand when I was a teenager it was way better than now.

Those who wanted to nab front row tickets would have to pay a whopping $5,000 at every date on the tour, while second row tickets were priced at $4,000 a pop.

The pattern continues for $3,000 for the third row, $2,000 for the fourth row, and $1,000 for the fifth row. No added benefits are apparently listed for purchasing tickets for the first five rows.

He does know he’s catering to poor rural people right?

His shows will have his 14 attendees sitting in row 6 I guess.

Anyone who thinks Xbox is still going to be worth anything is a fool. They overspent on gaming studios, didn’t produce anything of value, gamepass value went down, and now everyone hates them for the constant enshittification. Even stepping back from “This is lemmy and we all hate microsoft” they have done some horrible business moves with Xbox. I don’t know anyone who is positive about the brand. They have ran it firmly into the ground.

thank you!

Thanks! I’m on /e/OS now so I was surprised to not see it in their AppLounge, so installed F-Droid too. It’s perfect! It’s exactly what I wanted! Thank you! (I do wish Froggy was there though)

I haven’t, is it for Android? I’m not seeing it anywhere

Community is called android, not googles android

Google kills another thing I loved that cost them pennies, if anything because weather is free data. I left Google Android and am glad I did.

I wonder if this is a huge demotion for the AI guy. AI teams in Microsoft are “good” right now, I wonder if he fucked up in some way and they put him on xbox.

Hey don’t discount them that much, they also can’t make games either. They’re going for full on business-only approach, consumers are not a priority for them at all anymore.

Fuck private equity. Its always a pump and dump. They don’t care about the mission, they want to holding, strip it for parts, and sell to a bigger sucker later.

And they want us to stay hyped about games. I refuse to believe any marketing garbage because I know now they’re just measuring hype to determine if they should keep making things. That is not a long term strategy

Vertical Integration is the term. And it should definitely be outlawed

I just got my fairphone! It feels so free!

The shame, the people should know!

Oh god I remember that from the Midwest. Oh you need milk? Better get in the car and drive 15-20 minutes one way to get to the closest (and most expensive) store. By the time you get back you brined at least $5 in gas, not counting the cost of the milk.

I absolutely feel you, but the best way to stick it to them is to ride transit as often as you are able with their shit schedules, and walk when you can. Metrics and ridership are what drives investment. Its stupid because it is actually backwards (investment drives ridership) but in america car is the only thing worth spending billions of dollars on.
