The reddit mobile browser is literally broken and keeps getting worse. They are updating it a lot, but I swear to god it gets worse and increasingly broken with each iteration. I actually liked the browser when they initially killed 3rd party apps, but shortly after that it got a huge redesign that was infinitely worse than before. I am thoroughly convinced they want that experience to be miserable so I go download and use their ad-infested shitty app instead. Fuck reddit.

No different than Trump

Interesting, thanks for the insight.

And so it begins

And they could be under a gag order nobody would ever know.

This sounds a little tinfoil-hat-y but I don’t really know what I’m talking about.

I’m still salty and disappointed how most people continue to stay there knowing all this shit

I cancelled all my subscription services today and fired up the ol’ abandoned Plex server. I was paying for the convenience for awhile to be honest, but I’m over it now. Internet and a VPN are mostly all anybody needs anymore.

Man it’s such a shame to see so many pretentious know-it-alls on Lemmy.

I haven’t looked into why they’re doing this, so maybe this insight is obvious and well known, but I imagine it has to do with the fact that they spend a shitton of money on these spaces/leases that they can’t easily get out of, so their way of dealing with it is by forcing employees to use it. My company is going through a similar situation, but they’re accepting the responsibility of eating the cost of the office space lease with several years left on the contract and don’t even try to entice people to use it. “Come in if you want, it’s going to be here for awhile!” is about as far as it goes, haha. Fuck Amazon.

On a side note, I’m reaching the point in my life where I’ve become very interested in old country artists and new modern (underground) ones. I’d always heard of Hank Williams, but never really listened to what he had to say. And my god, some of his songs have made me emotional. The hurt, the struggle. I’m not someone to get easily emotional over anything, but hearing ol Hank sing about how his woman doesn’t love him because she had her heart broken by someone else but he still loves her anyway, cuts deep.

There is still plenty of good country that isn’t Americana. Justin Townes Earle (RIP), Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, Bella White, to name a few.
