Calling him a narcissist isn’t really an insult either way. It’s just a fact about him. The dude only cares about himself.

If the amount of people that just put up with ads currently instead of switching to Firefox is anything to go by, I think the number of people who truly care is less that you might think. Especially when YouTube is such a monopoly.

Perhaps, with them no longer being able to easily upload clips to twitter from consoles, they’ll be less inclined to participate on twitter. I agree it’s not going to change much, though. I wonder how many people were even using this built-in integration anyway?

I’ve found the Mull browser (which can be found through the DivestOS repository on F-Droid) works great as a privacy-focused firefox fork, similar to LibreWolf. I hear Fennic F-Droid is also a pretty good but less extreme alternative, but I’d imagine you don’t care much about that if you use LibreWolf.

search term +reddit

tossing site:reddit.com before any search will guarantee all results come from reddit, if that’s what you’re looking for.

Yeah, like the other person mentioned, the origins of the word and its pronunciation are the very first thing in the FAQ on their website. It’s pronounced more like for-jey-oh.

No, no, no, no, it’s being towed BEYOND the environment. It’s not in the environment.

Cocksucker I’d imagine

Fair, but these are all perfectly valid reasons to do so on Lemmy as well, so I still think it makes more sense to do so here than on Reddit.

Why? I feel like that would be more common on Lemmy than anything. There is an actual point in using different instances here, I don’t see any point whatsoever on Reddit.

“renting” it is still taking money from the author even if the damage is physically limited to one item.

I do see where you’re coming from, but not necessarily. If my friend has zero interest in ever buying said book (or can’t afford to) and would never become a paying customer, there is no downside to sharing a copy. In fact, if they like the book enough, they may even become incentivized to buy themselves a copy or look into the author’s other work legitimately when they otherwise wouldn’t have.

This is how/why I pirate most games. I don’t have the type of pocket money to spend on games I don’t know I’ll love, so I pirate them first. If they’re good enough, I’ll buy the actual game on steam later. Spider-Man, Baldur’s Gate 3, Cassette Beasts, etc. are all games I plan to buy when I can afford to. And I can promise I never would have bought Slime Rancher 2 if I hadn’t pirated the first one at some point and enjoyed it.

Because fuck you.

Absolutely worth it to me. I’m just saying there is definitely a downside to losing an account, even if it’s free.

Losing every single one of the songs you’ve liked/tossed in a playlist. When you’re deep in the thousands, it’s not exactly easy to remember even the ones you especially like.

As others mentioned, there are ways to disable all of this shit incredibly easily. ShutUp10++ is my personal choice for debloating Windows 10 & 11. Now, should it need to be done in the first place? No, but I’d say installing the program is easier than learning a whole new operating system.

Remove the bloatware with a free program like ShutUp10++, and Windows is a fine OS. Linux may very well be better still, but better enough to go through the effort of switching over, reinstalling everything, relearning everything, finding alternatives to programs, etc.? I doubt it. Not for me at least.
