    Always cool to see ‘retro’ tech brought back, especially with major overhauls. Kinda wish Apple still did dedicated ‘dumb’ MP3 players, if I’m being honest.

    The blatant misandry that some people carry around like a badge of honor is kinda horrifying, if I’m being honest. It’s almost like they don’t even realize that what they’re doing and how they feel about billions of people is inherently wrong.

    It needs to be viable first, which obviously won’t happen when the management keeps stumbling into PR nightmares weekly.

    Funny how the people who call billionaires 'evil' for hoarding wealth and treat landlords as Literally Satan for owning more than one house can sometimes also ignore the fact that they literally kill and eat animals for no reason other than cows being tasty.

    This coming from someone who isn't even vegan btw, I just think the reactions to your post were hilarious.

    Certainly not rich enough to host the amount of content it does, or pay content creators what they get paid.

    YouTube too. For all the shit we give Google for it, there's no way it could've grown into what it is if it didn't have all that spare cash to burn.

    Honestly, it feels like Google lost the plot (for the most part) almost a decade ago. Android was really the only product that was consistently chugging along; most of their projects have been nothing but premature cancellations, even if the product was actually good (I'm looking at you, Inbox).

    Nah, that would've spread the company too thin. Apple needed that laser-focus approach they had in the iPhone days, else they'd be dead.

    Yeah, I don't think anyone's denying that MS is a shitty company; we're just talking about companies that have either improved, or haven't gotten significantly worse, because some other company bought them out.

    As others have said, something being stupid in the past doesn't excuse it being stupid now. And hey, I'd get it if we were still dealing with a couple movies a year, but now it's a flood of content that nobody can keep up with unless Marvel is their only hobby.

    I'm sorry, but She Hulk? Loki was whatever, the Xmas special and BP2 were fine and Guardians 3 was amazing, but really?

    Sorry, I know it's just an opinion but I got severe whiplash seeing that title up there.

  • Dark_Blade Dark_Blade 1y ago 100%

    How much of it? The world's largest and most famous billionaires don't even make up a rounding error in the world's economy (hell, most countries blow Musk's entire fortune annually on the dumbest conceivable shit), nor is their money 'removed' from it. Hell, the richest people in the world have the vast majority of their wealth tied up in their own company's stocks, which by definition is money that's playing an active role in the economy.

    Like seriously dude, there's good reasons to hate billionaires and the current state of the global economy, but at least come up with valid arguments and criticisms that can convince people; otherwise, you're just blowing hot air that only serves to paint legitimate critics as crazy people.

    Never seen the app go rogue like this. UI elements just started…sliding off? on their own. I’d upload a video if I could.

    Basically, the gray bar that contains the ‘up/downvote’ arrows, replies etc. Its current design, with the distinct gray background, looks a bit…off?

    Probably one of the most convenient QoL features in Apollo was using Haptic Touch (ie long-pressing) to get a quick peek at the parent comment. It also gave you the option to jump back to the parent comment as a quick way to sip around through a post. It was a super-near QoL addition that made Apollo really nice to use, and I’d love to see it on Memmy as well!
