It would still be nice to look at how someone did something even if implemented poorly to make redevelopment quicker.

As for why people don't do this they might just not care or believe they will maybe get back to it again someday even if that is years in the future.

I don't think BlueSky has ads. At least not yet. The dispute is mainly around the mobile Lemmy app Sync. Which is a mobile UI for lemmy that inserts ads into Lemmy where there previously were none.

At least for normal non-tech oriented people it is a Twitter without Elon Musk. Which I suppose is an improvement despite it still being Jack Dorsey.

I think it will be important to see how it is potentially monetized. If they can find some way to stay alive without going down the enshitification rabbit hole with ads and prioritized posts with paid subscriptions like Twitter then that would also be an improvement in my opinion.

It sounds like a Dragon Ball GT reboot. 😐

The Borg queen was great. She should get her own spinoff.

Usually the up front cost of the software would fund some number of years of updates. Then after that you would pay for a new version.

I kind of hope I am just immune at this point. I'll probably get it randomly in a few years when I least expect it.

I agree. Too much of Lemmy is just links to other content instead of people having thoughts of their own and then starting a discussion about it. There isn't a real reason to use Lemmy if there is nothing here that is not anywhere else.

There are a lot memes here so maybe those are often original.

Isn't the main goal of being a student to learn things? Personally I find this more important than any kind of certification that a school could give you.

Maybe it is just me, but is this kind of post the norm now on social media? I get that Reddit and Lemmy are supposed to be this kind of "link aggregator", but when I see posts like this it just feels like an ad. I'd much prefer to see a post where OP came across the product organically and came here to discuss it and post their thoughts on the matter. You wouldn't even need to link to it as people can search for it themselves if they are interested.

I do appreciate that services such as Kagi are starting to appear to replace the ad driven business model of yesteryear, but I'd prefer to see posts on Lemmy be between users that have their own thoughts and opinions.
