They don’t want people to use it. They want Google to give them a big bag of money so they can integrate it into chrome.

I still don’t get why people are moving to yet another centralised platform (bluesky is not truly decentralized).

No matter how much someone agrees or disagrees with the lemmy devs, the platform is decentralized and they can’t really enshittify it.

The last two seasons completely destroyed the show for me. I literally felt betrayed and have no intention of ever watching it again.

It’s truly unbelievable how we got a masterclass in turning gold into a huge steaming pile of shit.

When a regular person makes something available that shouldnt be behind a paywall to begin with it’s stealing. When a billionaire or company uses ai to gather data from paid sources or just straight out plagiarises it’s just maximising profits.

Is that really an alternative though? I bought a synology because I don’t want to spend hours and hours configuring shit, only for it to break after an update. I fiddled around with proxmox, truenas etc. But it’s a hassle. I absolutely believe that DIY is the way to go if you have the time for it though.

I hate what synology is doing and seeing where most companies are heading I’m pretty sure the enshittification won’t stop at using their own branded HDDs. But I just want a solution that works. As shitty as this move by synology is for me its still cheaper to spend 30 euros more on a drive and have a hassle free solution then screwing around with DIY solutions.

Please prove me wrong though… I’m trying to rid myself of big tech and have been pretty successful so far (linux, self hosting, no more streaming subscriptions etc.). If anyone knows of a better solutions that had synology drive like function and hyper backup like function with a minimal maintenance OS I’m all for it.

install app

“Do you agree to share your information with 289 of our partners or opt out by going through a list and deselecting them one by one”?

Yeah any app that asks this is guaranteed spyware.

Also, use F-Droid as much as possible. It’s not perfect but still miles better than the play store

I hope to see free open source, non-big tech Linux OS for phones one day.

I wish phones were more like regular computers where you just buy a phone and then decide which OS you install. Or at least be able to change the OS.

I dont trust anything that isn’t fully decentralized. Bluesky is very weird in that regard, its partially centralised. I guess it’s better than Twitter (but that is setting the bar very low). I still refrain from using it too often.

It will almost certainly have ads in the future and will inevitably go down the path of reddit, twitter and Facebook so I prefer to use something that is completely out of reach of the CEO if something goes to shit.

Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.

“WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE???”

Like fuck off no I wouldn’t. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

Yeah just put them all in a big dystopian hellhole, its basically what they want so you’re actually making them happy by doing it. They can worship billionaires while complaining about not having any social benefits and experience hardships like a bunch of repressed peasants.

Nah, being convicted is for minorities and the poor.

That said, I’m not sure if she’s rich so maybe?

You’d think people would want something different like a non proprietary OS that spies on your every daily aspect of your life seeing the recent tensions in the word.

But nah let’s all keep using Facebook, MS, Google and act all surprised pikachu face when 1984 finally happens.

I’ve been wanting a phone with alternate OS for ages now but it simply isn’t there. Guess ill just have to stick to grapheneos for now.

If blackberry manages to come back without using android I might consider them. It its just going to be another shitty android phone with a blackberry skin on it then I’ll pass. Probably a fat chance anyway since no one will buy a phone that doesn’t have android or iOS.

I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.

People are so ignorant of it too. Last time I mentioned lemmy as an alternative somewhere on discord I got nearly banned.

It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.

Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.

I’ve decided I’m not using websites that block mullvad anymore. I’m talking about a hard block like reddit does and not a captcha (captcha is fine by me).

If they’re doing that much trouble to prevent me from using a VPN they must me doing some pretty shady shit with my data.

I will not move to another VPN because of all VPNs I feel Mullvad respects my privacy most.

Yeah, it’s kinda sad but that will probably happen.

It’s pretty sad a lot of people are dumb and racist.

They don’t hate immigrants, they just hate assholes. And being an asshole is not related to where you’re from. Shitty right wing politicians just want to make everyone believe it’s immigrants.

Some of the worst people I know have been born and raised in the country I live in.
