Roku lays off 300 workers and removes streaming content to save money
  • I have never liked Rokus interface.... I prefer android TV. Most people don't realize there is an app only mode on android TV that is exactly that, just apps in a drawer. No ads, no fuss. I also like that there is much easier side loading on Android TV.

  • Rockstar is selling cracked game copies on steam.
  • Id say it's more nuanced. The game is theirs? Some might say they stole their work... But the game is theirs and they never contracted or even gave permission for the work to be completed? I'd say it's unethical still since they have the resources to accomplish this on their own.

  • Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser
  • The big one for me was acting like BAT was something it's not (a regular crypto currency) and not being clear that it's opt in. It's a means to 'tip' or payback sites for not being served up ads. It won't make you money or is even any sort of investment.

    Even if you don't see BAT the same as me, being opt in is the part that clearly doesn't put it into 'a reason you shouldn't use Brave'. If it was being forced on anyone than sure, throw it on the list. Who says don't use something because it offers a service you aren't interested in?

    I vaguely remember him mentioning something about how brave did and didn't handle blocking ads, and I think it also came down to an option that someone would have to select. If you'd like to go over that more I could re-read it but it was few days ago that I did.

  • Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser
  • To sum up this article: the author disagrees with the Brave CEO's political opinions, which is understandable, and then proceeds to project a bias on the whole project. Ignoring the technical workings along the way. When called out on this he then closes the comments.

  • Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.
  • I'd say I'm generally conservative and have been dabbling in alternative social media for a number of years. Some of the biggest Mastodon instances are/were right leaning. Gab.ai started off as a proprietary site and then migrated to Mastodon. Truth.social was always based on Mastodon. I've never been active on them because I don't like echo chambers though. I've never really had a desire to have my thoughts reaffirmed by strangers...

    I would assume they're presence isn't felt in the fediverse because the concept of de-federating is working? Gab is likely cut off by others and truth social never federated with others to begin with. I don't think Truth ever intended to though, and really just wanted something they didn't have to build from scratch.

    The only Mastodon instance I actually have an account with now is somewhat right leaning but it's not their emphasis. Even then I'm not too active on it.

  • But I love death
  • They are hearty for sure and that can be seen as an urge or will to live. Animals are dumb and have a shocking lack of self preservation. Are you talking about conscious 'I want to live, I better not do that' or 'I will find a way to live in my circumstances'?

  • What do you think about Guy Fieri ?
  • I'm actually a pretty big fan. I really like his show Guy's Grocery Games. It just seems different compared to most cooking shows/competitions out there. Most seem scripted and rigid. While I get that grocery games has to have a script it just feels off the rails sometimes and I find it appealing. I get that Guy probably isn't the best chef out there but just seems like a good dude who would always go out of his way to help others.
