Restricted to the whole site or just that user? The user tools are pretty powerful on their own.

Its no longer a community, now its an entire instance. And boy does it show sometimes.

Why is stuff like that included not included in every plan by default? As a European, I can't even imagine paying extra for that. If I want to hotspot my data, my operator can kiss my ass and simply allow it, I'm paying for the data anyway.

At first for sure, but after the first... I want to say maybe 8 months, I knew that it'd be declared endemic with how people were just ignoring it in 2021 and pretending like it wasn't there anymore. That said, I'd be out of a job if those restrictions weren't lifted, so its not all bad. But certainly can only help yourself, most people don't do anything and I couldn't even get a fourth shot, so I'm still waiting for a new round so I can go get my shot.

I'll have to keep that in mind, thanks for that. I honestly had no considered some BS like that happening.

For anyone out there, I recommend giving Tidal a shot and for podcasts, I recommend a FOSS app called AntennaPod. This is the combo I use myself, I've been using Tidal for a bit over two years now and just recently switched to AntennaPod.

I don't know how much I'll need it on a desktop that's strictly used by me, but I see your point nevertheless. The fact that its turned on by default without user knowledge and that the key is not automatically safely accessible is... That is a whole other level of dogshit, that's just insane honestly. I'd definitely save it to drive and a stick to be sure, that's a good one.

I'm gonna upgrade my setup at some point, so thanks for this. I didn't realize they had some bullshit like bitlocker in there, definitely going to disable that because I cannot lose some files.

I'm having the opposite going on, post upvote swipe is still blue but comment is now orange like I set it.

It's not about converting people close to you. In some situations, you're asking them to install an app just to talk to you, while everyone else they talk to is on WhatsApp. I personally have to use WhatsApp for work and for personal, otherwise I'd literally not get those messages. There's no option when, if you stop a random person on the street, regardless of what OS their phone is running, and ask to look at their phone, it's going to have WhatsApp installed. It's like your phone having email; who the fuck doesn't have email? It's the same with Whatsapp, it's just assumed you have it.

The problem is that only conglomerates can eat the cost of running such a platform. Ads will be the end of free interne, that's for sure.

Small phones don't sell, that's just the thing. Asus tried for a few years, it didn't work and now the Zenfone 11 is going to be big again. I'm personally on the other end of it, I'm never going smaller than my current phone (Edge 30 Fusion) because I really like the big screen.
