Anyone who thinks about this idea for more than 30 seconds decides it is a really bad idea
That's because of all the problems your idea would cause. Identity theft would run rampant, stalking would become easier than ever before, tracking people down would just be one search, etc. I mean you truly did bring up an unpopular opinion, I'll give you that.
I believe I got 3.2% this year and 2.8% next year, or in other words, I got completely shafted. Doesn't even cover food cost going up.
I might buy a flip foldable in the future (so either the Samsung flip or the Motorola RAZR) because I like the idea of using my phone less if I can do at least some things on the outside screen + I like the idea of propping the phone up on itself for videos and photos. I really don't need a book type foldable, but the clamshell just has something to it... In the future.
They apparently don't have any admins, so many instances have been forced to defederate from them until that changes.
I might shell out the money for ad free at some point, but right now I'm not confident that Lemmy will be relevant in a year. That said, the app is fantastic and I made it look exactly like the Reddit version of the app. It's just such a good app, I love it.
It's beautiful, its the sync I know and love. It's so damn beautiful.
YouTube these days is insufferable, its why I don't bother with it too much anymore. Two pre-roll ads, then two ads after about two minutes, then two more before the end and then two more at the end. And the problem is that you can't skip through a video without getting ads. So lets say you watch 30 second and then skip, well bam, two new ads even though you only watched 30 seconds. Its so goddamn annoying and they need to lessen the amount.
Going in the right direction, can't wait to see what we can do here. Sync stopped working just now, so that's it for me, mostly desktop now.
Well they don't directly force you to use it, but when basically all of the most popular browsers (including the default browser of Windows) are Chromium based, that means that developers optimize their sites for that first and foremost. And combined with Google's amp protocol, which adds control for them, it means that they can dictate many terms for these other companies. It's like sure, you can use Vimeo to upload your video, but who the hell is gonna see it when there's YouTube? Same thing here, why use some other standard (such as what Firefox is doing) when the support for Chromium is that much greater, even though it's more restrictive in others.
