Whoa, Dave again? Surprised to see you here so soon,

Dynamic resolution? So it is going to bring you down to sub 1080p in order to run at a decent framerate? That doesn't seem worth it.

Every comment is still available to read at the moment. This doesn't seem like the place for a long and elaborate recap. That's pretty much what it boils down to though. The irony is that several people harassed me and they are completely fine with that because it supports their biased opinion. If you look through their comment history they are very supportive of this particular piece of software. So anything against this is bad and must be banned. It likely wouldn't even matter what it is. They just ban first and justify it later and make up some nonsense such as "harassment".

The double irony is that they are going to end up harming lemmy.world and possibly do irreparable damage to the lemmyverse long term and then their friend will no longer be able to profit much from ads.

It appears that there will be no ads and the only monetization is for advanced features. Assuming that actually is true that is a respectable way to monetize something.

Where can I buy a new Vita?

For some people, not driving is just death from starvation

That seems like the exact kind of thing many people are against. All of this was by design in order to create a dependence on cars. This is not how it has to be. There are a lot of alternatives that are worth investing in.

I don't believe anyone would suggest to immediate destroy all cars right this second without putting in any kind of necessarily alternative infrastructure. That would be a pretty extreme stance on the matter.

I would like to see the US government stop subsidizing cars and start subsidizing alternatives such as trains so that maybe in 30-50 years we can start to see that it is possible to live without driving a car.

Paying to remove ads is still paying them for implementing ads.

The only useful reviews are the ones you trust from people who share similar thoughts about what you enjoy. You could aggregate the rating of everyone on the planet and it still won't be a useful metric. Reviews from only people self-selecting that would have watched the show in the first place are also not useful.

Reviews from critics who are bribed to give 100% are less than useful. It is worse than useless. It is actively harmful. "Bribed" in the sense that they are given early access to something and don't want to lose access as their livelihoods might depend on it. Sometimes they might be bribed with actual money, who knows.

The ads are rather ironic.

It looks pretty cool, but I can't help but feel that a really catchy name for a service is important. I wish it weren't true as it is such an insignificant aspect of an entire platform.

Either way I'm going to sign up and check it out.

It's not Chrome. Are there really any other good options at this point?

Reading either for enjoyment or to learn is a great use of time in my opinion.
