I really dislike that guy. I was interested in his website but lost interest because of him. I already forgot why I started disliking him. But this just adds to that.

You should have said “sure buddy” and ignored them.
- Comment on Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before 3 weeks ago:
It’s a dungeon management game from '97. You are an evil Keeper and control a dungeon where you need to build rooms and train your creatures to attack (or defend from) the good guys.
Nowadays people play KeeperFX which is the opensource remake.

This feels like a scam just like those Elon Musk crypto scams you see everywhere.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 3 weeks ago:
It’s pretty sad how not having the money for it makes it unbearable, while all of them don’t need to experience it, disconnecting them from their practices.

They also take a cut from content purchases and tips to content creators.

The article implies nobody even knew it already had this functionality. I’m sure the customers weren’t told either.

They kept trying to ruin my experience so I’ve switched to Invidious and Odysee.
Invidious only for the content creators that don’t crosspost to Odysee yet.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 4 weeks ago:
Every video ad needs to have the video uploaded to YouTube afaik. So it’s possible to find it, although I’m not sure if it also works for private videos.
- Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous? 4 weeks ago:
I am the admin of a website where we have a place where our users can post custom content and rate the content of others.
We have discussed how it works and should work many times and came to the conclusion that we’d never want it to be public. Any report of abuse will be checked by the website owner directly in the database and even admins don’t have full access. Everybody tries to stay as far away from the personal ratings as possible.
We also noticed that it would be a lot more fragile when there are not many voters. A whole group that is negative about something wouldn’t get as much harassment as a single person having a unique opinion.
On our website we have a comment section that isn’t anonymous, and we even noticed that people often don’t post something negative when it would be obvious that they are the only one who has voted/rated something. (“Negative” is almost always constructive in our case)
These are just a few things that I think add to this discussion.

Making an addon/extension wouldn’t be too hard if you can get the data somewhere.
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 4 weeks ago:
Hence why I gave a solution. It would simply become spam that should be handled by the instance where it originates from.
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 4 weeks ago:
What if an instance sends 1000 fake hashes as votes?
What’s the difference from users though?
You’d give each user an anonymous vote ID that only the instance can link back to their username.

It should actually be made more private.

All of their games have native Linux builds. So if this one doesn’t support Linux out of the box, his opinion is quite valid.
- Comment on Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens 5 weeks ago:
Netflix and their DRM is so extremely stupid it’s incomprehensible. It only hurts normal users while the rippers have no issues getting the content.
- Comment on Infamous $30 Logitech F710 called out in $50M lawsuit over Titan sub implosion 5 weeks ago:
Even if it is the best built controller ever. It was wireless and should not have been used. In terms of safety it’s not something you want to solely rely on. As the article says: “every sub in the world has hardwired controls for a reason”. Logitech is not blamed for anything. It’s about OceanGate using this controller among many other questionable choices.

You think the biggest threat to free speech is Elon Musk moderating Twitter like an idiot?
No, I said it’s the biggest example.

Hey! Welcome!
I recently joined as well. It’s actually very nice here.
Let’s make something nice ^_^
- Comment on Decentralised YouTube alternative Odysee no longer serving ads 1 month ago:
You’re doing the same as what others are trying to do to any open platform. You’re claiming that me trying to defend absolute freedom of speech is the same as me asking why we don’t hear them out. And as long as you believe that is the same, I’d rather not waste time discussing this.
Absolute freedom of speech goes both ways, indefinitely. If a platform is too heavily moderated and hides stuff like this, not only does it create the illusion that it does not exist, it also sets a precedent for abuse by the platform owners. The biggest example at the moment is how Musk uses X to suppress arguments that don’t fit his narrative.
Filter bubbles are a very new concept and are much worse than coming across people spreading hatred and being able to tell them to suck it.
