And that’s why older media is usually better. Only the good parts have survived and the 90% has been forgotten.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you pay for online services like search and email if they offered a better experience than Google?
1·6 days agoI haven’t done it myself but know people who do. If you use a known provider and only the domain is yours I wouldn’t expect it to be blocked as companies also use their own domain for their email.

13·7 days agoEmail yes but only with my own domain so I can change providers if the price changes.
I wouldn’t pay for anything I’d prefer to keep anonymous and that includes search.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?
5·8 days agoEven if they don’t end up fully switching it doesn’t matter. Some might switch, some might try dual booting. But saying they are going to switch is free press and may convince more people to try it so that’s still a win.

Android@lemdro.id•Does anyone here use a Sony Xperia 10 VII? Seems like the only viable option with a headphone jack nowadays besides Motorola and their predatory update policiesEnglish

4·9 days agoI have the 10vi. It’s pretty good for the money I paid (~300€). The UI is very close to plain android which is nice and doesn’t have a billion extra apps pre-installed like Samsung. The battery has been great so far. MicroSD and headphone jack are great features and I think you can also unlock the bootloader.
Having said that, some issues I’ve had that may or may not exist in other versions:
- The lock screen is buggy as hell, way too many accidental fingerprint unlocks and camera bugs that have persisted across updates.
- In Europe (different countries) it’s only ever gotten 5G once.
- Sony is doing something weird with its camera hardware. Any apps that try to use the camera outside the official app are having issues focusing and one app was actually crashing. This is not an everyday issue but would be a problem if you want to use a third party camera app.
I’d still recommend it but maybe try to find a discount cause Sony overcharges a lot.
Many companies will just buy in bulk and give the same thing to everyone. I’d rather use Linux but I understand they don’t want to deal with different environments. Also yeah, Apple has made it very difficult to emulate MacOS so it’s easier to buy that and emulate everything else.
How about getting the people who pay you to buy you over-priced hardware?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something which you pay more than "it's worth" for the sake of good quality/experience?
3·15 days agoAlso picking an ISP that actually has a reliable connection even if everything else about their service sucks, including the price.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you speak a language that has a formal 'you', when do you use it?
2·19 days agoIsn’t te/le technically a conjugation of you though? You also have to conjugate the verb but at least the difference is just an ‘s’ that you can aspirate enough that it’s not clear if you’re going for tu or usted.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you speak a language that has a formal 'you', when do you use it?
6·19 days agoGreek: formal you is usually used with older people (but not family), teachers when you are a student or higher ups in general. Wherever I’ve worked we used the informal form but I don’t know how common this is. Also retail workers typically use the formal form with customers so I do the same with them but many people do not. It seems to be slowly going away as a feature.
Spanish: I’d use the formal a bit less than in greek but it depends on location. In Spain it seems pretty rare but some central and south American countries use it much more.

Sadly true (and yeah, I didn’t know about those movies)
