Honestly. This is a social network platform. Assume all you post and share is being collected via web crawlers and data brokers pulling from the api.

Which they claim is illegal and a violation of the DMCA

If you can own nothing, then nothing is theft.

‘LinkedIn’

LinkedIn is as much Social Media as talking with your manager is Socializing.

It’s really plastic and fake feeling there, more so than anywhere else.

We’re in the “dropping the act” phase of capitalism.

This is just standard monopoly-speak these days.

Damn, two repeats. First windows 12 having no start button and now forcing users to update to windows 11. God am I happy I don’t main windows anymore.

But also, I’d like to remind Microsoft the reason they let anyone downgrade back from windows 10 indefinitely was because their forced upgrades lost a company $$$ and they got sued for it and lost.

Next week: EU to ban web browsing, for security.

Seriously, why is the EU such an insane flipflop, going from one side of the political spectrum to the other in as little as a few hours sometimes?

My damn meme-infested brain read “separatist” and thought this was Star Wars related.

Didn’t he already write a public letter explaining how what they did does reveal ads, but that it was unfair because they went ad hunting and searched for ads on a page?

Boohoo, just because they over-searched to see it happen, means that it can and does happen.

This is a failure on your part, not theirs. This is how scientific research is conducted.

Not that you understand science or handling failure, Elon.

That’s what Georgians thought in 2020. They voted anyway.

And then Georgia flipped blue.

No, a UPS uses at least 1 Lead-Acid battery, not LI-ION.

similar enough. 6c/12t 32gb system.

Okay, I’m genuinely confused about the NextCloud hate.

I’ve been using it for a month, and It’s literally had 0 issues.

Nothing about it seems unstable or slow. I’m 99% certain if you’re having issues with nextcloud, it’s a hardware issue.

IF you’re going to run your self-hosted server to run a minecraft server, get a webclient front-end. Even though it’s not FOSS and therefore a no-no with most lemmy users, AMP from Cube Coders is a great option, it starts a flat $10 fee for a permanent license. It has some fantastic features for remote backup among supporting other games.

However, if you’re a bit concerned about that there is Pterodactyl, which I’ve heard good things about, but I went with AMP because it supports other game servers like GMOD.

Rumble is functionally on par with YouTube in terms of video player and not having ads.

But Rumble is a Fascist cesspool filled with people who ran from YouTube when they implemented such controversial rules as “don’t say racial slurs” and “don’t spread misinformation.”.

Rumble has been funded by mostly Right Wingers and an agreement with Trump.

I fear more that YouTube’s harder push on forcing ads to users will result in a user-base exodus to Rumble.

The amount of comments I’ve seen on various YT videos about how YouTube is breaking adblockers and forcing ads on users while making it a TOS Violation, where the comment says something like “I’ll just move to rumble, lol”, is worrying.

He knows, it’s why he bought twitter.
