Bots advertising to bots, it really is a boring dystopia...

Honestly I am puzzled every time I see someone ragebaiting and/or having a very bad take without that wretched checkmark on X

Same, DDG fails with local results here in the Philippines, I found myself adding "g!" to my searches more often

Edit: also I would wish any data collected from premium users is limited to improving the user experience and not for improving ads

True. I think the only "data" they get from us for that purpose are their exclusive beta features, and even that is voluntary and not very common

YT Music even has a mode to only play songs that i don't have in my likes. Awesome.

I don't know this one, how do I find this? Thanks.

Or lack thereof in the desktop—the third party ones seem to be electron wrappers, so I might as well make a pinned tab on my browser instead.

I like how barebones it is overall though, I switched in 2020 because I felt Spotify was getting too bloated.

More and more I get tempted to get an iPhone (Pro) especially now they have USB-C, but until sideloading there becomes as easy as it is on Android, it's still gonna be a tough sell for me.

Same, the value I get from it through YouTube Music is significant. It's also barely more expensive than Spotify in my region so it's a no-brainer.

Though I still use ReVanced to get SponsorBlock and other UI fixes.

Wonder if the overlap of users makes Lemmy rank higher on DDG?

Apparently Genshin Impact and some Nintendo Games are made in Unity, and there are even some plans to charge Microsoft for Game Pass installs.

I hope Unity's legal team is prepared.

It's nice but it just lacks the diversity that, over time, made reddit unique.

Yeah, it lacks the userbase that allows for one to ask a hyperspecific question about a very niche topic, and near-instantly get a good answer from an expert on said niche topic.

Same, though those D&D websites work in Brave with the usual blockers turned on (uBlock + Brave's blockers), so maybe its an engine thing?
