it’s all small potatoes compared to being run by an enshittifying company complying (often in advance) with terrible laws and moving to use their accumulated leverage against their users
I don’t disagree there! That’s why I was specific in referring only to their software quality.
Because hive mind absolutism. Discord bad, everything about it must be bad.
Still calling BS on ‘multi-GB’. Runs on mine in a few hundred MB. Not to mention you’re using the wrong terminology if you’re referring to memory usage and not storage space.

I don’t know what you’re installing, but it takes 255MB on my phone. If you’re on a desktop, use your browser. Not that it should be much different.
Edit: Also the same size on desktop according to Google. The fact that a statement as incorrect as yours is so heavily upvoted tells me there’s no actual logic and reasoning at play here in this argument.
How is it crappy? Company policies aside, the software is reasonably decent.
Edit: Highly controversial and downvoted, yet the only reply is misinformation. Way to go lemmy, we’re catching up to reddit quick.
Anonamouse?
Eh. 3 days delay to listen to new music releases isn’t the end of the world. Especially if you’re doing it for free. Go do something else in the meantime.

You’ve never ever played tech support for a relative. I can tell.
Works fine for me. Download links are 3rd party, so it can be a crapshoot sometimes, just try different servers till it works.
Steam is a platform. It does provide optional DRM that some games use, but there are others that are DRM-free
You should do whatever it takes to feel safe. But FYI, no private individual has ever been sued for downloading books.
There’s something horribly offensive about the way the units were converted in this example
On the contrary, I would rather NOT go to war. You know what’s the best way to get that to happen? Have a strong enough military that bullies like Putin and Xinnie will think very very carefully before launching a ‘special military operation’ into your country.
Don’t forget the postcard to Russia inviting them over for tea
It was, but I made it explicitly clear that I was referring to software quality only. They’re free to clarify if they actually mean the company instead of the software.
