Pretty much everyone I know refuses to buy into anything Google releases now. Not because they are tired of losing money or support, but they hate having to try and move their stuff over to a different service.

The average user won't care about firmware updates or that they lost a few bucks, but they hate when they need to figure out how to move their music over to Spotify or lose the ability to cloud print.

My guy is angry because emojis have skin tones. Bruh.

They failed because no one could trust them. I never bought into it at all because I knew one day they'd shut it down, and they did.

Google ruined their reputation, and people are going to have a tough time buying into anything they release. I really only buy their phones and use their services that I am not tied into, such as YouTube, Maps, Translate, etc. All of their services where I am buying things, or hosting my data, I jumped shipped a couple years ago.

I mean shit, I bought their Google WiFi and they just straight up fucked all their users and released their Nest WiFi, pretending the Google WiFi doesn't exist.

And you're bad at math and financials if you think it's better to buy a singular game for $75.

For what it's worth, I buy every game I really like on Steam (I have over 1200 games on Steam), but I use GamePass for everything else.

I've saved so much money using GamePass. Sorry, but I'm not paying for Forza, Flight Simulator, Minecraft Legends, etc. All of those games I beat in less than a week, and they cost $100+ CAD. Literally saved money by not buying them, but got to play them all fully.

Ok. Enjoy buying each game separately. $75 will get you a singular game. Don't play it all at once!

Going to be honest, I don't really care that I got rid of my VHS tapes and 480p DVDs.

And that's a great reason to call me a racist Holocaust denier! And it's great to see their comments get a ton of upvotes, too!

I wouldn't say boring, I'd say frustrating. You cannot use Lemmy for any kind of tech support if you're not using Linux or FOSS software.

If you make a post asking for help with a software you need, someone will ignore you and tell you to use some garbage ass incomparable FOSS version. Use anything not Linux? Use Linux, idiot.

You pay for YouTube premium because it's $5 per month using the family plan, and you're okay with paying a few bucks for entertainment? Go die from cancer. Actually, though, someone called me a racist and a Holocaust denier for saying I pay for YouTube premium since I split it between my family, and it's pretty damn cheap. Their comments were heavily upvoted and mine were downvoted.

Lemmy genuinely isn't fun anymore. It's so incredibly toxic.

Oh ya, don't forget the fuck cars community telling me it's my fault my city doesn't have great public transit? Like bro, I moved here a year ago. This city was built hundreds of years ago. How the fuck is that my fault?

Your original comment was accusing him of getting money and bailing. You're part of the problem. Put yourself in whichever group you want.

I never said you made death threats. You responded to my comment, "joking" that the developer grabbed his money and bailed. Your original comment to my comment perfectly encapsulates how FOSS users treat him. You accused him of running away after getting money.

Even if he bailed, it wasn't for the small flow of cash. It was because of how the FOSS users were treating him. You are welcome to go look at all of the previous Sync posts back when Sync launched, seeing the thousands of comments bashing him for putting ads in the app, and calling him very mean things.

I also never said Lemmy is dead. I said people like you are going to ruin Lemmy. Learn to read.
