It’s honestly terrible that thousands of Palestinians can die and noone gives a fuck, but 1 Australian and all of a sudden Australia is outraged. I say this as an Australian as well.

I’m glad you found a safe space! Hopefully with time people in RL will accept you as well. If they don’t then fuck them, they’re not worth having in your life in the first place.

I use Windows, and I honestly never see this stuff at all.

Haven’t used Linux/MacOS in a long time now but from this specific perspective they all appear the same to me. Or at worst, it’s easy to disable.

Your point is “Windows is the worst of the bunch”.

It’s pretty basic/has no value… Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to disprove.

Depends on the person and their usage. For many Windows is the most appropriate.

Dont be a blind fanboy and just say that there is only solution for an OS and that’s Linux. If there’s one OS then it will inevitably get shit itself.

He was very much the Elon Musk of his times, and it’s very possible he would have gone down the same route of extremist views and decisions that completely failed because of his egoism.

Yeah this seems like a complete non-issue… All software has its problems and annoyances. Whether it’s Linux, MacOS or Windows they all have different levels of shit and annoying things you have to do.

Some interesting points, and some things I disagree with.

Firstly it’s annoying he keeps calling it his idea and trying to enforce this concept that the current internet needs to align with his original goals. That’s stupid and ignores that things will go where they go, he can’t control them.

So his first point about centralisation being an issue isn’t that big a grievance. But his second point rings true - the issues around our data and advertising have grown significantly and the Web is getting much worse as a result.

I actually think the solution is just government needs to step in and regulate it, along the lines of what the EU is doing. Realistically I think that’s the only solution that’ll help. Doing some grassroots movement and hoping it picks up steam is just unrealistic. Like looking at Lemmy and Mastadon - they’re great but at this pace they’ll never take over the other giants in the space. You need someone to step in and force the change.

People are missing the forest for the trees but you are right.

If Republicans force this through on every bill then at some point it would have to pass. You can’t just shut down the US government indefinitely in the real world.

Sorry to hear.

Small consolation but you did use affects correctly. Something affects you, while something can cause an effect.

Cheers.

Sync didn’t use ro have ads (or maybe I was blocking them successfully) but now it does. So will try something else as fuck ads.

I’m curious, do you use this on mobile or are you talking about a desktop experience?

Personally I find more ads on something like Sync on mobile than I did on Reddit which I can block, but I am now forced to use the Reddit desktop site.

OP doesn’t understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

Who gets banned from Reddit as a whole though?

You’d have to literally be posting child porn or something.

Or is this just a conceptual argument that doesn’t actually mean anything in reality?

Not sure I understand tbh. Seems exactly the same?

You get banned in a reddit community you can’t access it, you get banned in a lemmy community you can’t access it.

I’ve been banned from reddit communities and can still access reddit. If you’ve been banned from Reddit completely you must have done some terrible shit.

In your example, you’re also suggesting a transphobic person has more scope on Lemmy to continue being transphobic than on Reddit. That’s not a good thing?

I am quite confused by your post tbh.

Yeah the ads are garbage. I might end up dumping Sync just to avoid it tbh.

Just be aware Lemmy has its own share of issues and extremist views. It’s not as simple as Reddit is evil and Lemmy is good, both have their pros and cons at end of day and realistically they both probably have a role to play for people.

If you have any basic computer skills it’s really not an issue. You can turn off pretty much anything. I can’t remember the last time I saw an ad within Windows tbh.

This is just fearmongering at its worst. It’s like me saying Linux is only for IT companies running servers because it’s unusable for a normal person as the UI is janky and it’s all code based.

PSVR - fun for a week but otherwise useless.

Your comment is irrelevant to what I’m saying. Try to actually offer something of value instead of baseless nonsense.
