Too bad :-(

Jeez, guys… You’re a paleontologist or what? That happened centuries ago.

“I really struggle trying to understand the addiction”, was my original statement. The two last words are important.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 16 hours ago:
I’m specifically talking about the video as a medium to share information, and youtube is the worst, as it’s 99% filled with crappy influencer stuff whose only aim is to monetize people’s time.

Well, maybe they’ll get rid of the cookies banners /s.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 19 hours ago:
To each its own, I guess. I prefer written stuff.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 20 hours ago:
TBF, just leaving YouTube would be better. There’s plenty of information out there which don’t need some glorified video hosting platform (books, blogs, wikis and so oh). I really struggle trying to understand people’s addiction to YT…

You actually should.
- Comment on Logitech is dropping support for its oldest Harmony remotes 6 days ago:
What about open sourcing stuff, instead of making it just “unsupported”?
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 1 week ago:
One data point isn’t statistically significant.

I think OP refers at “blasting it so everybody around is forced to listen to it”. I do the same with prog/death metal, to isolate from… people in general.

You can’t be serious

Even worse if it’s “bad” music (reggaeton, trap).
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 1 week ago:
And they are systematically downvoted to hell.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 1 week ago:
People here loves to downvote for every little shit they disagree with… And they say Reddit is toxic… Anyway, I don’t care. I just disable “show score” in settings and let the kids play.
Back to the topic, I don’t use youtube at all, I don’t like watching videos. I think Kagi is a great idea, but honestly 10 €/month is a lot of money for me at the moment, so I’m just self-hosting SearXNG and call it a day.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 1 week ago:
Because according to their perception “search” has less value than “watch”, which may make sense if one seldom really uses a search engine (i.e., they just use the same 3-4 websites)

Sam . Mine is hosted on my RPi. Not ideal, I know, but at least it strips out tracking bits from the upstream engines.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 1 week ago:
Not many people want to (or can) shell out 10 $/month for a search engine. I’m not saying it’s pointless, I’m simply saying that few people would do it.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 1 week ago:
Indeed. But it seems one isn’t allowed to criticize Mozilla here, so prepare for downvotes or enraged replies m
- Comment on How to Enter the US With Your Digital Privacy Intact 1 week ago:
I guess so, but recent news aren’t exactly inspiring. I’m really sorry for you (and I say that from an EU country with shitty politicians as well).
- Comment on How to Enter the US With Your Digital Privacy Intact 1 week ago:
I’ll actively try to avoid that. There’s been a time in which I thought it could have been interesting to visit that country, but the time has passed.

I’ll link an unpopular opion I poested yesterday: lemm.ee/post/59167603
My own comment has been: “Don’t you dare to have opinions that don’t align with mainstream thinking here”.
Here you either praise Mozilla/Firefox/Gecko or you are insulted and treated like a pest. And that’s a deterrent for me to even look at Mozilla/Firefox/Gecko. I prefer not to be part of that community.

Opera Corp. is Norvegian: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(company)

AdGuard (the app, not the extension or the DNS) should do it. I guess.

Chrome !=Chromium. The tite is correct.

Librewolf is just some customized FF variation, so it’s from USA at the core. Same as Vivaldi, of course.

I only care about adblocking, so ControlD+Brave for me.
