As fill-in ads are a vector for computer viruses and other malware I for one will NOT be disabling my ad blocker unless YouTube is willing to provide a lifetime subscription to something like Life Lock and make me whole for anything lost to whatever malware arrives as a part of an ad.
Where else can I watch sci-show, Linus-tech-tips, and all the other channels I subscribe to?
Personally, I will only be going back to Reddit if I need help with some specific thing and I can't find it in Lemmy anywhere. And only for that thread.
I see. Of course. That would mean the onboarding effort would have to ask a bunch of questions and each of the target instances would have to be able to describe their wants and don't wants. This could get much too complicated I guess.
Could we create an onboarding system that randomly picks an instance for each new user? It is not too important which instance a user joins due to federation, right?
That guy with the van would hafta have a pretty big heart, the price of gas has come down but it's still not 'cheap' (Edit later @[email protected] It would be a nice service, you are right there.
but, muh KDE..?
There is an axis I had not considered - the relative "uptodateness" of the packages. Debian is + for stability but - for "newfeatureness"
Yes, that is the one. I am crazy I guess - I did feel bad for that loyal old lamp.
OOOH Wahhh OOOOH EEEEE Woooo EEE OOO ohhh ooooh ooooh oooh
I can only speak for myself - I don't want to have to package and mail the things I am getting rid of. They don't have much monetary value, but I feel good someone needed it and is using it.
There are scams that sellers have to deal with like the scammer that will send a bogus check to pay for the thing and ask for change back. You deposit the check and a small number of weeks later your bank takes back the money because the check was bad. The scammer gets their 'change' back and the item they bought. You get left with a possibly negative bank account.
It's like the Ikea lamp commercial. A person has a well-used lamp they have had for a long time. They go to Ikea and find a new lamp that is better and nicer. In the next scene, the old lamp is left on the curb. In the rain. alone. abandoned. The Ikea person comes on and asks "Do you feel bad for the old lamp?"
I only hope we eventually have some of the local communities that were subreddits of yore - like SacramentoBuyNothing - a place to share your old lamp so it does not have to sit out in the rain at the curb.> waspentalive

Sorry, I do not have a larger resolution. I public domain this picture. I took this picture myself.
