Buying second hand is only working up to a point is not sustainable if larger parts of the population did it. It also doesn’t magically solve issues with the items themselves, like smart TVs or cars (ffs?!?!) tracking you. I’m not sure how easy it is to find working, second hand dumb TVs nowadays.

There are two issues with ads: ad display (manipulation) and tracking (privacy invasion). You can easily get rid of the first problem, for the most part. The second one is to some degree also handled by ad blockers, but is to some degree very hard to completely escape. Not buying things new won’t automatically stop of tracking.

The most important one: Organize. In groups.

Toller Artikel. Hier das Video zum Finale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU6rXYv726I&t=8h35m00s (vor der Zeitmarke war eine nicht gewertete Runde wg. technischem Defekt)

Die Berliner Polizei und Russland-freundlich? Das wäre mal was neues, da gab’s in den letzten Jährchen ja eher vermehrt gegenteilige Beobachtungen und Berichte. Und dann gleich einen KGB-Vergleich bemühen… ja gut, manche eskalieren wohl etwas schneller

Do you mean this is larger than your bed size? How did you achieve that?

According to the post, they are surprised that blocking someone only hides the comments, but not the posts by that blocked user.

Maybe the teacher also is their mom?

What a nice comment, you did that well!

Does drizzling some chocolate sauce on top help?

The article is a short read, anyone who usually skips over the headline is welcome to read it.

the trade group speaking for corporate giants like Microsoft, Sony, and Electronic Arts, […] stood up in front of lawmakers and declared that community-operated, private game servers are essentially a form of illegal piracy. To back that up, they actually pointed at community-run Minecraft servers, arguing that running your own multiplayer instance outside of corporate control is a black market threat that lacks proper safety standards […] They are trying to shape the law and public narrative to brand independent, user-controlled hardware as suspicious, unsafe, and legally shady.

AI slop. Why do you do this to us 😔

Awesome, I gotta check that out. Big thank you to however recommended it to you as well.

Je nach Regelung kann es auch passieren, dass man im ersten und/oder im letztem Arbeitsjahr gar kein Weihnachtsgeld bekommt. Dann ist man angearschter, als wenn es einfach über’s Jahr verteilt wäre.

Looking at smart TVs, we’re also stuck with several incompatible systems (Samsung’s Tizen, LG’s webOS, Amazon FireTV’s new non-android crap, …). In my experience, most users don’t care, except for some power users. If people can’t install a Lemmy app on their BrandNewOS, they wouldn’t even notice, because all the “common ones” like Facebook are there and they didn’t even consider looking for more niche options. And even the more popular niche options sometimes get community apps, like TizenTube (adfree YouTube) or Switchfin (Jellyfin on the freaking Nintendo Switch).

Also, whether we like it or not, “hey Claude port this android app to harmony” is a thing.

Oh I feel you. And you cannot truely know how comfortable you’ll be with the end results until it’s done and basically irreversible. I can fantasize with either option, but wouldn’t want both; so I’m (currently) fine accepting that one of the two options will be locked to the realm of fantasy and dreams.

…what

When viewing public content, like YouTube or Maps, sure you’re right. But that’s besides the point given that the post clearly refers to editors, not just viewers.

On cloud editors where my documents are non-public until I explicitly enable public access “for anyone with the link” - by using the share button - it’s not much tracking but literally required functionality. Even if we ignore corporate crap, that also applies to privacy focused, self hosted options like Immich

Can’t I just export to a file and share that? Yes, in some cases, but not in all. I might need collaborative features or I’m working on a weird type of document where I can’t expect the recipient to have compatible native software installed, or it might be in a work context where my personal choices for software might be limited.

Great, after slightly more than one frame, I am none the wiser.

It’s a great easy, though 😘

Yes indeed 😲

Das wird eine Umstellung, die Gewöhnung braucht… Das neue Symbol ist cool, aber irgendeine visuelle Assoziation mit “pflanzlich” wäre sicherlich hilfreich.
