Their products require their app, would this effectively turn their devices useless when the servers die?

I know it supports a single button to start cleaning, but I wonder if that will work properly without being able to call home.

Might be time for people to look for alternatives.

Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.

Hopefully our AI overlord will be benevolent

Great! That should turning myself into a cyborg in the future all the more simple.

Maybe, but I was on the internet as a teen and that went fine, being careful is a general thing in life.

But more importantly: adults have a phone and use it during work ALL the time. So I’m not so sure about the average age of the people commenting on here.

Interesting report. Might give Mastodon a try someday, I quit Twitter a little bit before the acquisition.

Sounds like a good solution for people who are on larger instances, my instance does not host any communities sadly.

I like that view, and it made me think of a possible “implementation”/“fix” as well:

1. Combine the post somehow (Based on attachment/title/something else?)
2. Filter/categorize the comments by instance that the comment was originally posted towards (Not by user, as that would be awful)

The largest issue here that I can see, how do we treat “new” comments to a post?

My annoyance is primarily with the fact that I see the same image 3x in a row, on a fairly regular basis. I might unsub from a few communities that share the same content.

One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.

However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary ‘Reddit’-needs.

Only two alarms would cause me anxiety, need at least 5 to make sure I wake up 🥲

You’re potentially right, which is why for my own account I host my own instance. Which I truly understand is not for everyone.

When it comes to communities themselves, that’s a bit more difficult but I am hoping that we (the ‘inhabitants’ of the Fediverse) will ignore those attempt and actively block their instances if it does become a “threat”.

For scraping, I made this point before in a different post, but: the internets public, if we do not want to get scraped, stay in private local communities. The public nature of most communities means you’re out of luck trying to block scraping altogether.

I stayed away from Chrome alternatives, as it had the best Canvas/HTML5 performance (Which oddly enough, was quite important for most of my browsing needs). However, this news means I will have to switch. Installed Firefox for my primary browsing needs, and a few Chromium-based ones to try out for specifically the aforementioned use case.

Why you may be right, it’s irrelevant if you say it with such a tone. Additionally, it’s quite clear OP means predatory forms of algorithms.

“Save 100% with this simple trick!”

2026 will definitely be my year

Not a home owner yet, but I just purchased a home and waiting on the handover.

This post has been really helpful! Certainly in writing some stuff down to remember 😅

I do not entirely agree.

While what you said might be true for content that we post, things like view history and tracking in itself is much more difficult. That meta data does help with tagging content.

Something like DigitalOcean or Hetzner will set you back a max of 10 euros a month. But that does require some technical know how with a terminal.

Would that suffice, or are you looking for something more ‘UI Based’ that will manage it for you?

Don’t really have a recommendation about which, but I do about how.

For repositories that I deem important, either for practical or nostalgia reasons, I use Gitea to keep an up to date clone. I believe most self hosted Git solutions offer a similar functionality, like Gitlab has one too that I’m aware of.

There are providers that do not provide you your own IPv4 address, with a feature called “CGNAT”. Often, they will then block you from port-forwarding altogether.
