Okay, Mozilla financially depends on Google. Yes, that’s pretty sad. But I think it’s too soon to quit on them. They’re trying to make privacy ecosystem and that might help them become independent.
As for now, even though Mozilla is financed by Google, did the dependence really influenced Mozilla’s decisions?
I fucking hate this project. I know that this project gives no new data. But this project makes it a lot easier for most folks to harm Elon. That’s how the scale works. If we increase cigarette prices of course many people will still smoke, but the number will decrease.
It’s a privacy-hate project. You may hate Elon all you want but he has the right to private life as all of us do.
I think doing something more decentralized than twitter is better than doing nothing at all.
I often hear this argument: you should’ve done “this” instead of “that”. I think it’s misleading. Doing “this” is already good. Doing “that” may be good too. Why not do “this” and “that”, not only one of them. Resources are not limited: there can be a lot more developers making new products.
You may set up a random redirect :) For example reddit.com redirects to lemmy.ml every time with probability 1/3. Or redirect with a switch. The last option is easy to set up, there are extensions for this.
I let myself be sad. I think about things which made me sad, listen to sad music, read sad stories etc. Sometimes it makes me cry. Sadness goes away pretty fast. I believe that’s because I don’t push myself.
It’s crucial to understand that sadness is a normal feeling and one should accept it. Unless you are said every day no matter what.
There are some partial solutions to this. For example this extension blocks specified sites from appearing in google search: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublacklist/
Doing it manually is definitely burdensome, better use some software. Idk which software to use really, but speech recognition is a common problem, I’m sure you will find something. You need software to run locally in order to transcribe a long video for free, there are such solutions as well.
I doubt that online transcribers will transcribe long videos without pay. AFAIK speech recognition is computationally heavy.
Is it worth it? I think there are many solutions for federated blogging.
I thinks it’s better to focus on lemmy itself as a reddit alternative as it’s the only one (or almost) in the scene.
