You sound tough.

No you wouldn’t.

Any Lemmy instance would have given over the same information in this case. Meta was complying with a valid, legal search warrant.

Care to elaborate about DDG? If this is about the Bing thing from last year, that was almost entirely FUD.

Yeah, painting this as a downstream effect of the pandemic is just wrong. This has been coming for a long time and would have happened no matter what caused interest rates to rise.

The current prime interest rate means it’s more expensive to borrow money right now, which means PE and VC are not throwing money at tech firms that aren’t traditionally profitable anymore. Plex likely runs at a steep loss and relies on private capital to stay afloat.

100% agree

It’s funny, they commenter in that chain are calling out Lemmy users for being blind to dev-related issues, but they demonstrate a strong myopic slant on their own assessment of the landscape.

That’s probably because the Lemmy dev’s “politics” are beliefs that have no place in a civilized society. Luckily, Lemmy itself and the fediverse writ large don’t have any relationship to those beliefs.
