As an instance owner I have defederated preemptively from threads. I take the same logic as ‘dont do a deal with the devil’ or ‘dont negotiate with terrorists’. Sure maybe you get lucky and win some but the odds are stacked against you. Instead I am more interested in cultivating slowly what lemmy is as a platform without some companies influence. We are doing ok right now. Ae are slowly growing right now. The only reason they are interested in us is because they see the potential. We dont need them to foster that potential. Lets focus on doing this on our own. For better or worse, at least we can say we did it our way for what we ultimately believed in if we stand on our own and do it.

And as an aside. I dont need a seconder to agree with me or tell me this is the right decision. I have done enough and seen enough in my life to make this call on my own and stand by that decision. Its not relevant to me if anyone agrees with it.

It came from an advert advertising a porn video. I liked the scroll he was holding.

Im so sick of AI being inserted into every inane thing. Next it will be AI lego, AI gaming chair, AI toilet seat. Its just so fucking droll at this point. There is literally no technology I want to use less than your idiot pet AI project you just came up with. Everything now has AI in it yet nothing feels revolutionary or interesting. Its all just worse. Everything is just worse but with AI in it. Its just CEOs piling shit on top of shit on top of shit and expecting something beautiful to come out the other end. Drives me nuts.

Pretty much how it went.

Huh, to me the boot still looks exactly the same

Unlocks an extra megabit for you

Sorting by top 12h works best for me

I run a lemmy server and nobody pays anything to use it. It a public service by me for anyone.

Just because some company hasnt figured out how to do it doesnt mean something cannot exist for the good of the public run by members of the public.

Im not interested in conforming to imposed problems personally. Im interested in building resilient systems. That was why we invented technology as humans to begin with. Otherwise whats the point.

Yeah no way Im paying for youtube. Totally bizarre concept to me.

Sounds cool, I have never even heard of it!

The one I used accepted xrp, eth and bitcoin as well as a couple others I forget. I used xrp.

Yes obviously there is a problem here exactly like the reddit to lemmy problem. Just another obstacle but thats okay. Probably it is solvable.

This was honestly the best meme back in the day. It was so great you only needed the hat, for scumbag anything. Just add the hat. Later just the brain was enough. Good times.

Just googled this also but similar issue to freetube? Just an app to the same service if I understand correctly?

Lemmy does not support renaming yet. Would mean all federated instances would immediately stop getting the pushed instance.

Yes true. You are correct they could change just the ‘display name’ so the description aligns to what you expect.

Im sure there are some that accept it. I dont remember all the options. You can just adk if they take it idk.

Its has live tv and also video on demand. Kind of like how netflix works but with also a live tv selection in addition. That is what iptv is.

Information on wikis can get out of date if nobody updates it. Probably just needs someone to refresh it a bit.

I didnt like it compared to uhf personally. Lacked polish imho.

Also love dokuwiki

You can post it here and the explanation why it happens.

Yes but changing audio and subs while technically could work is not well supported at this time.

Havent made a single apple purchase for over 2 years now.

This is how it starts. How it ends is up to them.

I dont understand your question. Can you elaborate?

Ah ok, to be fair Im an apple user.

Just good practice. Nothing more. Cant harm you to use a vpn.

Hilarious

Encrypted doesnt mean impossible to guess what it is. Your traffic to pornhub is encrypted. Your isp knows exactly what kind if content you are consuming when you download 1gb of data from pornhubs ip range.

Never replace the VPN dude

Better safe than sorry. If someone unobscured the link and went to it it could be potentially dangerous. Not safe for work PC’s.
