I heard they put copilot behind a paywall. Does the free version still hold up?

Huh? I’m not getting ads. Even if I was, the money would be going to third party app devs.

I’m so sick of clickbait.

I have noticed that it’s gotten less useful as a syntax helper. I hope something better comes along.

You torrenting benefits them because it reduces their server load.

People who live on the toilet: UNLIMITED POWER!

That’s pretty gigachad, but I’m scared to because it voids the warranty :(

How do you deal with waiting for and then pressing “Install” for every app? It’s so tedious. Is there no way without root?

I’ve simply stopped generating content for them. Some of the third party apps still work without a subscription (probably rate-limited), so while I mostly browse Lemmy, I switch to Reddit when Lemmy’s feed runs out and just don’t add any comments or posts and don’t vote on anything. That way, because they get no ad revenue from me, I’m not benefitting the company in any way. I see no reason to avoid consuming content created by other people and posted online, regardless of what platform they use.

Railing? What is it, an outdoor grocery store?

It looks SO BAD. The Snoo feels weirdly squished vertically. What happened to the ears?

1. download linux
2. X doesn’t work
3. Google it
4. Technobabble
5. Uninstall linux

I never understood the Twitter-like format anyway. How do you find stuff you want? What advantage is there to Mastodon over Lemmy? I tried Mastodon and ended up confused and bored.

I learned about this years ago and the details are a bit hazy, but you may find this warning by the developers of uBlock Origin to be relevant.

There’s also a “uBlock” extension available on Chrome that lists ublock.org as its website. From what I remember, AdBlock Plus and/or uBlock engaged in advertisement middlemanning. Essentially, they would let ads through to the end user as long as the advertisers gave them a cut and the ads weren’t deemed “intrusive.” I know ABP did this when I switched away, I’m not sure about uBlock.

uBlock Origin is a general content blocker, which puts it ahead of ad blockers anyway. You can configure it to block things like cookie popups too.

How about ungoogled Chromium?

uBlock Origin*

uBlock is the pseudo-malware that profited off of uBO’s good name.

I’ve seen some sites grade passwords from weak to strong instead of using explicit rules, but I’m not sure exactly how they’re graded. Probably some sort of entropy approximation.

I’m not just scrolling through memes. I’m leaving poorly thought-out and unfunny comments because I want people to reply to me.

Screw a midpoint. Those sites push their apps by sabotaging their websites because they have financial incentives to fuck with people and they can scrape more data with an app. No middle ground, no compromise.

That shit should be illegal. It’s just a violation of net neutrality from a different angle.
