It could arguably be worse.

Yep. This is the first legitimate “YouTube premium sucks” I’ve seen because it’s not holding up their end of the transaction.

I haven’t seen this happen to me yet and I use YouTube on my PC, my phone, and my TV via Alexa.

I know for mastodon, you can move your account over to other mastodon instances while keeping all your data and such.

Is there currently a way to do that with kbin? In case I wanted to branch out to a more niche instance but keep my profile and messages and subscribed magazines and such?

That’s what I’m interested in. An app with multi account management for different types of content. (micro blogging, content aggregation, picture sharing, video sharing, etc)

I know just enough coding to know it’s out of my capabilities or else I would make it a fun passion project. In the meanwhile, I’m just happy to see how things go!

I remember having a bus come every hour. If you miss that bus, then oops you’re an hour late for work.

If you run 5 minutes late in your car, then you are 5 minutes late for work.

Also if you have to take 3 or so busses to connect somewhere, depending on how the scheduling worked out, you could get unlucky and have an hour wait between bus 1 & 2 and an hour wait between bus 2 & 3.

Taxis cost a decent amount of money here.

Uber/Lyft/etc are hit and miss. App says if you need to be somewhere at 9am, to request the ride at like 8:30 or whatever. And when you do, you don’t get anyone showing up or someone will grab your ride, not come to you for 10 minutes, and then put your request for a ride back out there for someone else to grab.

“I’d like to order the newest chip you got. The Beyond Plus Ultra Core Ultra 5+ Supreme Deluxe. No, I will not accept the Beyond Plus Ultra Core Ultra 5 Supreme Deluxe. That is last gen garbage from last week.”

Google is already an awful search engine and was most useful only for reddit. Search Engine Optimization killed it.

For example, do you know why every recipe Google shows has a 35 page life story article before the recipe? Because it takes you longer to scroll through the page and find the recipe and see if that’s what you want. So Google says oh, this website is good and entertaining and full of so many words! This goes higher up! They don’t write the stories because the bloggers care. They write stories because it’s the only way to get their website seen on Google.

Meanwhile the website you actually want… The one with a simple recipe and no fluff? Well that’s not going to sell itself to the Search Engine Optimization. So it’s much further down on the list, several pages down.

The same shitification is happening with every website. Every website is a little bit worse than it has to be simply to optimize it’s position on the almighty Google.

When you look for the “top shoes for running” or “best phone of 2023”, those are just rushed articles with no research done by people with the sole purpose of pumping out millions of articles just to get some spots on Google.

Google was only good for linking to reddit because reddit could never get their search engine working no matter how many times they tried it.

u/spez, you listening?!?

Clearly he hasn’t for even a brief moment.
