Yeah I totally agree. I think right now it's fairly up to the challenge of stuff like reddit and twitter sorta platforms though it definitely remains to be seen how well it would presently scale up to userbases as large as reddit or twitter.
A video platform anywhere near as popular as YouTube is an entirely different beast.
Yeah that’s the big thing that I think is gonna hold this back for the time being.
It'd be like 9:50am here in the Netherlands and I still support permanent DST. The daytime is basically our employer's time anyway, I'd rather not waste any more precious daylight on that part of the day. It really sucks getting off work and it's already dark outside. Hard not to crash when it's pitch black out by 5:30 pm.
yeah we're running our own plex server now and it's been amazing. too many price hikes and reductions in quality of service. over it
Those same people will keep wondering why every platform they use turns to bullshit
OP’s request was needlessly complicated especially once the thread got big.
Yeah it’s cheap as shit too
You’re not forced to buy a specific device there. They all text each other fine. You just don’t get fancy iMessage features if you’re on Android.
Sure I understand the reasons why it's this way, but it doesn't make it a good idea.
I mean that’s basically the same difference. It’s owned by the same company.
I wish they would pull out. It's fucking ridiculous that so much of Europe is apparently just ok with using a Meta product for the defacto texting platform (WhatsApp).
That's an interesting take. I think with respect to wanting more daylight hours "for myself," perma DST is definitely a stop gap solution, but it's also legitimately achievable on the near term and has a decent amount of support.
I do fully agree that work life balance is the bigger, more significant problem but also a lot harder to tackle. Society seems to be going through a big shift right in terms of how we view our relationship with all of this. I'm glad to see more mainstream discussion about stuff like 4 day work week and UBI. Feels like attitudes are changing.
