Buying second hand is only working up to a point is not sustainable if larger parts of the population did it. It also doesn’t magically solve issues with the items themselves, like smart TVs or cars (ffs?!?!) tracking you. I’m not sure how easy it is to find working, second hand dumb TVs nowadays.

There are two issues with ads: ad display (manipulation) and tracking (privacy invasion). You can easily get rid of the first problem, for the most part. The second one is to some degree also handled by ad blockers, but is to some degree very hard to completely escape. Not buying things new won’t automatically stop of tracking.

The most important one: Organize. In groups.

Do you mean this is larger than your bed size? How did you achieve that?

According to the post, they are surprised that blocking someone only hides the comments, but not the posts by that blocked user.

Maybe the teacher also is their mom?

What a nice comment, you did that well!

Does drizzling some chocolate sauce on top help?

The article is a short read, anyone who usually skips over the headline is welcome to read it.

the trade group speaking for corporate giants like Microsoft, Sony, and Electronic Arts, […] stood up in front of lawmakers and declared that community-operated, private game servers are essentially a form of illegal piracy. To back that up, they actually pointed at community-run Minecraft servers, arguing that running your own multiplayer instance outside of corporate control is a black market threat that lacks proper safety standards […] They are trying to shape the law and public narrative to brand independent, user-controlled hardware as suspicious, unsafe, and legally shady.

AI slop. Why do you do this to us 😔

Awesome, I gotta check that out. Big thank you to however recommended it to you as well.

Looking at smart TVs, we’re also stuck with several incompatible systems (Samsung’s Tizen, LG’s webOS, Amazon FireTV’s new non-android crap, …). In my experience, most users don’t care, except for some power users. If people can’t install a Lemmy app on their BrandNewOS, they wouldn’t even notice, because all the “common ones” like Facebook are there and they didn’t even consider looking for more niche options. And even the more popular niche options sometimes get community apps, like TizenTube (adfree YouTube) or Switchfin (Jellyfin on the freaking Nintendo Switch).

Also, whether we like it or not, “hey Claude port this android app to harmony” is a thing.

Oh I feel you. And you cannot truely know how comfortable you’ll be with the end results until it’s done and basically irreversible. I can fantasize with either option, but wouldn’t want both; so I’m (currently) fine accepting that one of the two options will be locked to the realm of fantasy and dreams.

…what

When viewing public content, like YouTube or Maps, sure you’re right. But that’s besides the point given that the post clearly refers to editors, not just viewers.

On cloud editors where my documents are non-public until I explicitly enable public access “for anyone with the link” - by using the share button - it’s not much tracking but literally required functionality. Even if we ignore corporate crap, that also applies to privacy focused, self hosted options like Immich

Can’t I just export to a file and share that? Yes, in some cases, but not in all. I might need collaborative features or I’m working on a weird type of document where I can’t expect the recipient to have compatible native software installed, or it might be in a work context where my personal choices for software might be limited.

Great, after slightly more than one frame, I am none the wiser.

It’s a great easy, though 😘

I like the idea! Especially with unmaintained repos I’ve asked myself why Github’s own fork list is well hidden and lacks any helpful info.

But maybe fix the links in the post body/n/nThat would be great 😜

When I picture you, I like Summer or Autumn most. It might be a cultural thing though, as I barely know any of the other words.

Anyways, a name that radiates warmth or that is bloomy fits you well. Nissa you did a great job, hun!

I’m surprised by how much weight is put on the initials in the comments.

Everyone knows bat is superior, some even call it batcat for that reason.

Meanwhile, CAT literally exports armored bulldozers for genocide: IDF Caterpillar D9

If you can’t be stopped, they can just sit by and wait until your fuel runs out. Maybe going electric helps somehow.
