Yesterday I proudly did my part in this survey.

This, tbh. You don't get bullied for something, you get bullied because bullies want to bully.

Was uns auf der Arbeit aufgefallen ist, dass wir deutlich öfter und regelmäßig falsch zugestellte Briefe im Postfach haben. Manchmal legen wir die selben Briefe 5-6 mal zu den Rückläufern.

What happens if you merge the user base of a small network and a huge network? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect Will the small network gain from the huge one or the other way round? Also there is a lot to gain. The users base of the fediverse and it's infrastructure grew by 5x in the last two years: https://fedidb.org/ Meta has a big interest in extinguishing a competitor before it profits from the bandwagon effect.

Yes, still then there are only very limited software configurations that are allowed.

It's not even really better on Windows. (Nearly) all streaming services restrict resolution to 720p if you watch on a PC, mobile phone or tablet. With the exception of Netflix if you watch with Microsoft Edge or Chrome, I believe.

Everyone here makes the joke only once. But you have many friends here!

You are not alone, I had the same experience after hours of Alyx. Shows how immersive that game is.

Netflix definitely increased 1080p compression (or said better, nerfed it). 1080p even looks a little pixelated on my mobile phone now when it looked great on a PC monitor a few years ago.

I mean, there literally are complex websites created just to help people find and filter for streaming services that serve a movie or a series under what conditions or prices and the results are so fragmented and unsatisfying. Hell, so often a simple classic movie is on none of the streaming services or just on one on which you even then have to pay even if you are paying for a subscription (looking at you, Prime). So what the f, how should I happily decide for a subscription if the next day I have to yet pay for another one just because a effin movie is on another platform? Streaming has become a damn chore.

I was always wondering why so few people don't complain about the interface. It's abysmal. An absolute minimum of functionality in an unintuitive layout that's always changing. What the absolute fuck. And all streaming services adopted it.

But why did you only name 2 billionaires
