The UK is an utter shithole when it comes to privacy, always has been. It doesn’t look to be getting better any time soon either.

Yeah, the modern internet is sadly pretty cooked. We are well and truly past the golden age.

Try Ifixit next time. If it runs on electricity, there’s a good chance that they have taken it apart and documented how to repair it.

I hate that Discord is being used as a forum replacement because it’s fucking terrible for it. There’s pretty much no way to collate and archive information in a way that is actually useful.

Lemmy is a lot of different Reddits under a lot of different managements.

This is why I’m making more effort to move to Lemmy permanently. The thing is that they’re also refusing to say what exactly will get you banned, and that they can and probably will change the criteria pretty much when they feel like it. This is the kind of shit abusive partners do. They cannot expect anyone to be able to follow a rule that they refuse to define. Personally, I don’t think that’s an accident. It feels more like they’re laying the groundwork to be able to censor whoever they like, most likely at the behest of the current US administration.

Money doesn’t buy taste, as you learn pretty quick after seeing enough rich people houses.

Petty and small minded. Sums up Trump’s administration perfectly.

Please be careful. I would not put it past the US government to have kept a record of that change.

Generating content with AI to throw off crawlers. I dread to think of the resources we’re wasting on this utter insanity now, but hey who the fuck cares as long as the line keeps going up for these leeches.

It’s happening, slowly but surely. UK issued one today.

Been looking for a Plexamp alternative for a minute, I’ll check this out. Appreciate the recommendation.

Can’t say I have a huge issue with this - Plex isn’t FOSS and the infrastructure to make this happen isn’t free. Other options are available if you don’t want to pay the fee.

And at one point it was pretty close to that in many parts of the West. For as much as American conservatives want to go back to the 50s socially, they don’t seem keen on bringing back the fiscal policies of the time…

Not for phones though.

The modern internet is literally unusable without ad blockers.

There is nothing wrong with it other than it makes me feel ancient and I don’t like it.

I don’t know about Reddit as a whole but the subreddit for my country has not only been flooded with far right content, there has been a hostile takeover of the mod team. All of the sensible and balanced mods were forced out and replaced by fascist lunatics.

I think you’re looking at this the wrong way. They’re in a death cult. They want this. They want anyone who is opposed to them to suffer as much as possible even if it means destroying their country in the process. This is what “owning the libs” is about, and it’s all they have left because their pathetic ideology can only make things worse for the working class.
