This sounds like any sports video game where they advertise bringing out a new feature, that they silently removed from the previous version of the game.

Tom Green was on public access TV taking commentary from the internet. He was "live streaming" before most North Americans had internet.

Typical Amazon undersells everyone else to remove competition. Then after everyone has gone under reminds you it is a terrible idea. Hopefully we see businesses get burnt more and determine it is better to self host, or even better yet not need half their services on "the cloud" anyways.

I bought a digital movie from Amazon prime in 2015. It fell off and they didnt give me a refund. The music I got from a burnt CD in 2004 is still on the C: drive of my current PC. I don't think it pays to do the right thing in the long run.

I screen shot and crop every meme i want to share from Lemmy. It is tedious.

Companies killing forums and communities by choice or apathy is so disheartening. They have so much control over what we see and talk about everyday, and they can even just turn the community off by providing poor service.

It worked for Google. They corraled a majority of the internet into providing them add revenue. Google maps, Gmail, google search engine, youtube... all just more ways for them to scrape your data and serve you adds. Investors are hedging their bets on what could replace google as the information monopoly of the future.

New Hampshire doesn't require seat belts on anyone over 18. They actually sell seat belt male ends to insert into the female end to keep the car from chiming at the driver. I was surprised when someone got into my car annoyed about wearing a belt, they were from New Hamphire.

I grew up on an American farm and I cannot comprehend the suburbs. Grass just grows, it was there before developers bull dozed whatever forest / farm / wetland was already there to install impossible to walk cul-de-sacs everywhere. Less massive yards and more public parks would be better for everyone.

Popular video game franchises homogenize together so they can make room for new indy games to grow.

I do not know how to even shop anymorem All the name brands I know have gotten worse, most of the new brands are unknown and have AI reviews.

People blindly trusting an image with no citation to a legitimate source is a plague on our society. Thank you for being skeptical and asking.
