seeing as copilot says at the start of every conversation that it will be recorded, not to mention their massive (non)privacy policy and terms of use, this isn’t really news. this is just a fact

alternate headline: company looks at data they tell you they will monitor

if you got it from Amazon, they can preload your account and wifi details that you previously used with their products

I kinda assumed this was the case, and some higher ups likely know this too. I know in Ontario, when you get fingerprinted by the police, it’s not just your fingers, they’ll take your whole palm print. Billions of people in the world, very unlikely anyone is 100% unique.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s been great having a rolling release distro that I don’t have to worry about breaking with updates

It exists and people hate it. If you want reddit go to reddit.

Rewards? Oh yeah, less money in my pocket and price increases every few months? Sounds way more convenient than ublock and revanced. Rather pay with my money for an ad-free experience and line the pockets of a rich corporation. My time is too valuable to compile revanced once every few weeks!

Ugh, the possibility of accurate reporting and display of what’s really going on?

DISGUSTING! Sweep it under the rug and spout opinions as facts!

I switched to Vivaldi a couple months ago, and previously used brave in the past before growing to dislike it. It surprises me how many brave-heads ignore Vivaldi’s existence. It’s just a better Brave. No crypto BS and lots of poweruser features.

Because adblocking is free and if done right not detectable. I haven’t had a single issue with ublock on youtube.

I used to pay for premium but they keep upping their prices. At this point ublock on computers + revanced on phone is best way to go. Premium features without paying a cent.

This isn’t as much of a meme as it’s a commentary on the state of the media industry. Even when my disposable income was great enough for me to subscribe to multiple services, piracy is just so damn easy and convenient that I’d rather pirate everything I want and have it all on my own streaming server (jellyfin) and be able to watch everything in one place, instead of having multiple services with hardly any worthwhile content. Having to scroll through hundreds of movies and shows I have no interest in to find the handful of things worth watching, spread across multiple services and apps, is nothing but a headache. Plus, even if I pay for a subscription, they up their prices on a regular basis.

This is no meme, this is a statement that the only real way to enjoy media without headaches is piracy. This has always been the case and always will be.

I’ve been enjoying Chris Edwards Restoration recently. He works on a lot of old Amigas.

It’s almost like if they want people to not hate their country they should stop being a corrupt authoritarian hellhole

the only addons you need for blocking ads on youtube are ublock origin and sponsorblock. multiple adblockers used together can and will cause conflicts and impair the ability to properly block things.

They’re right here on the threadiverse

Yeah, nowhere near the size of reddit, but who wants that? Easier to have discussions without bazillions of people posting crap like “works for me” or being dicks.

I don’t really trust other alternatives. Being unfederated, they rely on a closed source solution maintained by a single person or very small group of people. There’s nothing in place if the plugs ever get pulled, everything is lost and like reddit, whose to say these owners won’t turn their website slowly into the cesspit reddit is?

Yeah, an instance owner of lemmy/kbin could theoretically pull the plug on their instance or enshitify it, but you can just switch to a different instance and keep accessing the content you were.

You cannot steal what is not physical. Theft implies removing a physical object from somewhere, creating a loss of an item.

Digital information is 1s and 0s, and you just create a copy. You do not remove the original one. There is no theft taking place.

The value of a product does not go down because I didn’t pay for it. If anything, if it’s a quality product, the value goes up. If I pirate something and enjoy it, chances are I will pay for it when I can afford to. If I pirate something and don’t enjoy it, well, I wasn’t going to buy the product anyway so there’s no loss. Let’s say I watch a movie at a friend’s house and absolutely hate it. I do not buy the movie. How is that different than pirating it and coming to the same conclusion? I see the movie without paying money.

Yes and no

ahaha one of the best uses of sweet bro and hella jeff i’ve seen. got a huge nostalgia hit from this lol

I had a diabetic cat. Diagnosed around 12 years old and passed away at 18. He didn’t even care about his insulin shots. He would be just happily munching away his breakfast or supper and not even notice he got jabbed. He was always his super friendly and cheerful self until his time came. As long as you can maintain their medication they will be just fine.

EDIT: There are also specialized foods for diabetic cats, some available directly from the vet. If they recommend feeding your fuzzy one that, it’s worth it. Way better for them than the stuff you’ll find in most pet stores. At least that’s the situation in Canada.

You’re telling me governments use computers? That’s insane, I don’t believe it. Next you’ll be telling me they’re on the internet too.
