Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said “click and go” referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy “streaming” sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don’t download a virus.

This will just push websites to change the orders and names of their query params (maybe regularly).

I don’t think one can safely omit all query params from all sites and expect a decent experience across all websites.

You are fighting a good fight, I salute you, but query params (the part of the url where the identifiers are included) are a valid and core part of Internet addresses. Trying to strip them away universally will only work for so long.

I think that’s why you haven’t found a tool that meets all your needs yet, because many sites have legitimate uses for those params that don’t include tracking. You’ll probably need tools designed specifically for Amazon and other specific websites/services.

Bend gets snowed out frequently and suffers from a lack of diversity. It could use some more folks for sure but idk if people would want to live there in the winter

So what changed with Lemmy then? A few months back when I joined the ecosystem many instances including LW were unreachable for many hours a day. Joining up to a new instance didn’t make LW content appear (as they were offline).

The issues today feel largely the same as a user, though less frequent. Am I misunderstanding?

If the instance that hosts those communities goes down or struggles to stay afloat won’t it struggle to federate its content outside its own network?

If I join another instance and lemmy.world is down, it’s not like I can see the communities on lemmy.world.

Joining another instance as a user doesn’t solve the problem that lemmy.world has bad uptime outside of the scope of reducing the load on LW itself

objectively be more secure in terms of data privacy

Please elaborate how email would be objectively more secure if you could block Gmail.

You can already block Gmail today from any other provider by putting a filter on incoming @gmail addresses. How does that make email more secure?

This thread isn’t about kbin though. We don’t need to clutch pearls about other services on fediverse when discussing what happens with Lemmy instances.

But this is true for literally anything that requires email verification to login with?

I think msft is scummy here but let’s not pretend it’s unusual that a company isn’t going to help you if you can’t access your email to verify your ownership.

If I lose access to my Gmail account and am unable to login to Amazon bc of that Amazon ain’t going to help me.

Thanks! I wish I had this info for an old build.

Sidebar: Kind of silly how you and others are tripping over yourselves to include something against win11 while providing tech support. As if you’d be a pariah if you didn’t include some disdain.

“Here’s some win11 troubleshooting advice, not that I’d ever be caught using it! ;)”

Stop reading the news and spend some time in your local community. It’s the best way I’ve found to shake that feeling of dread and exhaustion

Sorry, I’m not the op who suggested originally.

Dungeons and Daddies is available on most podcast streaming services but they have a significant number of hilarious patreon exclusives (some of which are teased on the public platforms).

Dungeons and Daddies

Awesome, thanks for the details. Bummer that your plan changed you really had it worked out :(

How could you keep data use below 1 MiB? That’s a significantly small amount of data in the modern era of anything Internet connected.

Were you mostly on wifi? You said you used your mobile primarily for entertainment, that usually takes data.

I believe you I’m just drawing a blank at how you were using your phone and its data plan!

A password manager doesn’t replace that Amazon is a marketplace with thousands up on thousands of products in one location for users to search through.

The person you are replying to is less thinking about entering passwords and more about “now my personal details are across multiple different services half of which I don’t remember their names”

So you are suggesting that a student looking up information on Wikipedia is the same level of academic dishonesty as someone turning in a paper written by chatgpt?

What the fuck?

I don’t believe the world is as zero sum as you are postulating. I truly don’t believe if ai were to be objectively better at creative pursuits that humans wouldn’t do them.

I think you are removing the agency that people have because you are associating it to economic output. I disagree with that premise and I don’t think that it’s rational to suggest that humans only pursue things because it produces value.

By homepage I was referring to the main screen that Spotify loads into, the default view of all your playlists, recommended lists, etc.

And I expect all the same things you expect for my regular browsing behavior. But on the music discovery and listening platform I don’t get pissy when new music is shown to me, even if it’s unrelated to my tastes.

I expect “ads” for new music on the music listening and discovery platform.

Y’all are making it seem like these are nordvpn ads on your homepage. Fuck off with this disingenuous comparison

Classic example of experience bias. “Well in my experience this is how the world works”
