There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.

I will just say that:

1. $3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.

2. It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.

People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.

I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.

Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?

There are hosting providers that offer unmetered bandwidth.

Sure, setup complexity is higher, but it is definitely doable.

I have thought about such a project as I also have access to relatively inexpensive 20gbps fiber, but lack the funding currently to do it.

Maybe one day…

Does anyone know if KDE Neon testing is updated with this?

It’s called “being human”. You should try it.

Ah, a fellow nerd, I see.

For me, things were pretty easy/quick to set up, and the benefit? Lower electric bills. More convenience.

From what I have been reading: Evidence suggests Russia was lying. Examinations of the crash site revealed no signs that a large number of people on board like Russia claims.

I am willing to bet it had missiles and the entire story was made up by Russia to:

• Stop Ukraine from shooting down planes
• Make Ukraine look bad.

They make you use the app to get the advertised features. Hyundai/Kia are terrible about this.

Oh and the entire implementation is half-assed. I bought my Hyundai used and can’t even use the paid features because they won’t transfer the account to me.

I actually like Hyundai, but I will never again purchase one of their vehicles because of subscriptions and what I mentioned above.

Are you in the US? Are you insured? You need to find another therapist. Since the pandemic, many insurance companies have improved services in this area. For example, mine eliminated copays and doubled the number of allowed visits. They also brought on a bunch of additional therapists.

Not really. The example listed above is perfectly readable.

Knowing the versions of webkit, browser version, etc. is important due to inconsistencies, new features, mossing features, and deprecated features. Sure it can be faked, but that is on the end user.

Uh, what about Pixelfed?

GREEN.

That’s great. It is all about Stacy’s mom, though. I hear she has it going on! 🎵

Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. Also, open source software such as shotwell, digikam, Piwigo, etc.

Onedrive for cloud storage.

this. I buy shit from the UK all the time.

I use onedrive because you can get like 6TB of space included with Office for like $99/year. Second choice would be backblaze.

Out of curiosity, as someone thinking about starting a cloud/hosting provider, what features would make a huge difference to you beyond price? I do plan to have some pretty amazing pricing for individuals/small businesses, but beyond that….

I haven’t seen the alien.top stuff yet, but I had a friend that was working on a reddit bridge project that implements api over html for old reddit and new reddit. The idea was that you could target the api and make the client compatible with both reddit and lemmy. (The API is similar to Lemmy’s)

I got to play with it before he shelved it, and it worked great.

This seems like a better approach than the one they are trying to take.

Lemmy also needs a mechanism for linking your reddit user id (and twitter, and…) with your active lemmy id so users can find each other easier. I am surprised we don’t already have this with mastodon. Twiiter oauth is (used to be? I haven’t touched it in a couple years ) like a 5 minute thing to implement. Reddit apparently also supports oauth.

If you can sign into lemmy via a reddit login path, you could also do some other fun/interesting stuff.

Regardless, I don’t really see a need for any of it.

Lemmy has its own set of issues to deal with.

You can, but it is difficult. Spam prevention has made life hard for those that want to host email.
