“[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves,” Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said, per the publication.

In terms of attention, she’s either lying or admitting that members barely pay attention to their content.

my boi Volition wouldn’t egg me like that - who is this??

I have to keep relearning the old lesson—as I am once again with this Pixel 4a fiasco—that cheap gear is not always the best value in the long run.

Not the conclusion I would’ve gone with but Google fans at this point aren’t particularly pro-consumer

I’m so goddamn jealous.

first rule of english pronunciation: there are no rules. All that matters is if people understand what you mean when you say it.

I gave up on this discussion when you have to consider gin, generate, giraffe, gene, gym, etc

Also I pronounce it with the soft sound because that’s what it sounds like in the bloody alphabet.

• Battery performance took a dive after the Nothing OS 3 update (8.5-12 hours to barely 8 hours).

• Photos seem LQ despite having two 50MP cameras

• Noticeable green tint at low brightness settings probably due to LQ OLES displays.

• Grievances with Nothing’s update philosophy where they seem to:

  • update the (a) models first before flagship
  • not optimise performance, and
  • anecdotally make previous model’s performance (camera) worse

• Frustrated with the fact that they seem to releasing the 3a before the 3.

• Likes the glyph system

• still recommends for the price range but does not recommend for a “good experience”

Similar situation. I quickly glance between Lemmy and Mastodon and only use old.reddit when I’m on my PC (just realised I hadn’t really used it since I’ve been making an effort to engage with the manga communities on lemmy) . All my friends and favourite artists seem to use Instagram so I only use it out of necessity for messaging and quick inspirations (I tried using Cara but I found the app somewhat slow and disliked that it wasn’t federated, so I could see it having a very low lifespan. I saw it as a poor move for artists to move to it solely on the promise of being “anti-AI” without any redundancies that a de-federated option would have)

There was a mass exodus of Escapist writers (including Yahtzee) and formed Second Wind. Been watching a lot more of their stuff since they left the Escapist outside of Yahtzee
