- Comment on Does everyone hate Google now? | Google's story over the last two decades has been a tale as old as time: enshittification for growth 3 months ago:
I don’t use Google anymore except for Google maps in my car. :) I guess they can spy on where I’m driving. But no search history, bitches.

How can they know if an email is disposable or aliased? I use those all the time with fastmail. Works fine with github.
- Comment on Microsoft is not done yet: more ads spotted in latest Windows 11 build - gHacks Tech News 4 months ago:
I don’t know about Linux being a pain in the ass. My kid was using first Linux on a laptop and then mac, and he wanted to go back to Linux where things make sense. He felt the mac was really confusing in where the files were. He also loved the integrated Software app where he can point and click install everything.
Now he is learning the terminal… :)
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 6 months ago:
I think eventually, some people will be OK with paying 5 dollars per month for a YouTube competitor that is better than the original. Much like Kagi is doing for search engines. It won’t be for the majority since they still expect free stuff and no ads, which doesn’t work.

In all for trying it. Will enable it tomorrow then. Thanks!
- Comment on Paging Mr. Manager 7 months ago:
Thank you, it does make sense. We will enable it tomorrow. This thread changed my mind. :)
- Comment on Paging Mr. Manager 7 months ago:
Yeah it makes sense. After reading all the arguments here, I guess if it helps to slow down spammers, it’s a good idea. Let’s do it. :)
I will enable it tomorrow and I would be very grateful for some extra admin help. I will contact you tomorrow. :)

Yeah I didnt see this until now. Thanks!
There has been a huge wave of spam accounts recently, and I recognize some of the names on this list. Of course these accounts gets banned quickly.
Getting a fake email address is really easy, so I don’t think it makes any difference whatsoever. On fastmail which im using, I can even create fake ones with a click on a button. It’s built into the service to have different emails for different sites.
Having closed signups will not stop any spam accounts. It just adds a delay between registration and being able to log in. There is no way to know if it’s a spam account or not before they sign in. Of course, some of the names in the list makes it obvious, but they just change to ordinary sounding names then.
I think it’s frustrating for new users to have to wait for a random time period to get accepted, specially when it serves no purpose. I’m not going to be any wiser if I approve the registration now or 12 hours later.
Or am I wrong?

Judging from reviews, people are avoiding VW now because of really shitty infotainment systems…

- Comment on Introducing lestat.org - Lemmy instance status monitor for all popular instances 1 year ago:
It’s very nice, and thanks for including all instances. We are supposed to be a network of Lemmy instances working together. This site highlights that idea so thank you.
If I could offer an improvement idea, it would be to first lost instances that are down in it’s own group, and then every other instance exactly as it’s done now, in alphabetical order.
- Comment on A peaceful protest againt Web Environment Integrity 1 year ago:
Yeah I don’t know if someone posted it on reddit, could help I guess.
- Comment on A peaceful protest againt Web Environment Integrity 1 year ago:
It’s ad blocking and entire operating systems, or computers configured in any way they don’t like.
If this goes through, they can force you to install any plugins they wish, or disable any plugins they wish. Or make sure you don’t run Linux and only Windows or Mac.
No innovation will take place. Competing browsers or software will not be allowed or manipulated into marketed as “unsafe”.
This is a takeover of the web as we know it.

I don’t think gdpr is required when it’s not a company running the instances? We have 1100 instances running now, rented or owned by individuals. Interesting point though, wonder if it applies still.
- Comment on has lemmy.world been going down these past few days or is it the app I use? 1 year ago:
I was really surprised by this too but yeah, people want to be on the same largest instance. I guess it’s a community feeling bundling that.
- Comment on has lemmy.world been going down these past few days or is it the app I use? 1 year ago:
I got a few new people on my instance that specifically said they wanted a smaller instance while Lemmy.world had issues.
I think there are like 1100+ instances now. No reason to hang out on the largest one unless you absolutely have to.

Not sure if you are joking but Linux gaming is great now. I’ve been gaming for at least the last two years on only Linux. Check out www.protondb.com
