- Comment on Blizzard is delisting the OG Warcrafts from GOG, but GOG says it's gonna preserve them forever anyway, hands out a discount, and announces new policy for its preservation program to boot 2 weeks ago:
People do not understand that company name means nothing. The OG people who were the heart and soul of Blizzard are long gone. Blizzard is just a name now.

My brother or sister, invest in index funds, not in the stock market. And then forget about it for 30 years or more until you retire.

My experience was with Apple News. When I wanted To cancel before the end date, it told me I would lose access to the trial.

Unfortunately, a lot of companies do this now, including Apple. I made it a habit to create a reminder to cancel before the end date.

Read? Lemmy is Reddit 2.0. Unfortunately, the majority don’t read articles.
- Comment on Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users 1 year ago:
That’s a very extreme view, my friend. A lot of Youtubers come up with good products. For example, LevelOneTechs has come up with a pretty good KVM that a lot of mainstream companies haven’t been able to perfect. So I enjoy it when Youtubers advertise their merch.

This question lacks social context. Are we talking about USA, Canada, UK, France, UK, Japan, Morocco, Australia, South Africa?
There are 7 billion people on earth with NUMEROUS cultures. To have a serious discussion we need to know the society in question.
- Comment on What's their secret? 1 year ago:
Simple answer? Their balanced siet. They eat a lot of fish and greens with not too much fat.

- Comment on Being subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances and seeing duplicates 1 year ago:
But I have to say that’s a plus. I’m on Lemmy.ca and beehaw.org is federated with my instance so I can interact with their communities. I have noticed that discussions on technology@beehaw.org are different from those on technology@lemmy.world. I think that’s the beauty of Fediverse.
It’s like being in a technology club in France and then visiting the technology club in Germany. They may look like the same clubs on the surface, but then you realize that these clubs have different interests and the discussions are different because the worldviews of the two clubs are different.
