Tom Scott was discussing this in his latest video on Bear Proof garbage containers. they're designed to keep bears out, but some clueless people can't open them either.
Yeah I've seen the backlash from the community leading up to Henry Caville's departure, but I've been out of the loop so to say since moving over to Lemmy. I kind of assumed that it would be mutually beneficial for CDPR and Netflix to parter on promotions, since I assume it's mutually beneficial in terms of Netflix subs and game purchases. Can't blame CDPR for wanting to focus effort elsewhere though.
I used to work at Starbucks (almost a decade ago now), but at the time, the motto was "just say yes" to any customer requests. We also had free drink cards that you could give out to deesclate any issue. So I would say any time you're even the slightest bit unhappy, bring it up, and you should at least have your problem solved, if not compensated for a free drink next time.
We also had customer satisfaction surveys that would print on reciepts, where filling one out would get the customer a free drink. We always kept them for customers that were happier to try and rig the odds in our favour of a higher rating, but also if a customer asked for one, I would give it if I had it. You could always ask the cashier if they have any of those as well.
Again, not sure how much either of those things have changed in the past 10 years, and I'm not sure how regional it was (this was in Canada at a corporately run store), but maybe worth a try.
Also I love these types of threads -- great topic to post.
Yeah this would be great. Even user defined 'multi-communities' would be great for putting all my gaming, news or meme related communities into one scrollable page.
Same boat. I was 50-50 between browser and mobile viewing, but not having Sync and Relay made it easier to break away from that other 50 of use. Having Lemmy on both has also helped with replacement.
Working from home helped a lot with this. Saving money on transportation, plus the lunches out and after work drinks, made a huge impact on my finances.
I could see it being taken advantage of, say I start a community on my instance called c/games, and crosspost a bunch of offensive content across all federated servers. But I'm still new to this and might misunderstand how it works.
I'm also interested to see what FIFA actually do with the license, assuming they make their own game. If that is the case, I hope it's an absolute dumpsterfire.
Amazing job! I love that this is an option.
