A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).
Hi! :)
Nazis and tankies can fuck off.
Слава Україні!

Legality and morality aren’t necessarily the same.
Oh, for sure. I just think it’s funny.
Ironically, .ml seems to be blocked in China.
Oh, cool. That one flew completely under my radar. I’ll have to check it out when I have time.
Are there mobile apps yet? Because if no that’s one huge advantage Lemmy still has over Kbin/Mbin, and it’s why I switched to Lemmy when Artemis started having issues (it went down completely since) instead of going back to Kbin.
No, you don’t. That’s your bank or maybe an Italy thing, but I can login without providing anything beyond my username and password. I do need to use an app to authorise transactions, but not for logging in and viewing my account balance or transaction history, pending transfers, etc.
Everyone is disconnected from nature,
I live in a city. Me being “disconnected” from nature has nothing to do with my phone. It’s a personal choice to live as mosquito-free a life as I can. (Also I just genuinely enjoy living in a city.)

What are you even on about? There’s one every day.

Literally the opposite of truth. Modern technology allows me to stay in contact with people I’d be unable to stay in touch with otherwise.
And more. When’s the last time you saw a concert?
January.
Everyone is staring at their phones and not even enjoying the moment they’re in.
Yeah, because my fucking commute would be so much more enjoyable if I spent it staring into the distance and/or at the other people on the train.
Many are depressed and drowning in meaninglessness.
And you think that’s somehow a new development? I mean, I guess you don’t have time to think about life if you spend every waking minute just trying to survive as a hunter-gatherer but I wouldn’t call that better.
When we look at old pictures of beaches from the 90s (not even that old) everyone appears physically fit, bright, and happy. Did our gadgets really make us any more free, or happy?
Because as a general rule people don’t take pictures of unhappy moments. Especially not when taking pictures is actually expensive, film wasn’t cheap and neither was getting it developed.
but if the only solution is to go live in the woods, is it really worth it?
Yes.
Fuck no. I don’t enjoy literally everything that’s associated with living alone (and a small group with limited-at-best contact with the outside world counts as “alone” as far as I’m concerned, I enjoy meeting people) in the wilderness.
You seem to think that because you’d enjoy life as a hermit in the woods everyone would. No. No, we would not.
There’s quite a leap from “absolutely everything is completely fine” to “I hate all humans”. Both are idiotic sentiments.
We’re gonna have to rethink definitions at some point. Yes, video games are still a comparatively new medium, but nobody would call a 2010 film a retro film, nevermind books or paintings.
What a ridiculous take. First of, outside of certain parts of the internet most people aren’t even aware of the issues surrounding Rowling, secondly you can very much acknowledge that she’s a terrible excuse for a human being while still enjoying a game she had nothing to do with (yes, she gets royalties, but she has the kind of fuck you money that multiplies by merely existing anyway).
I think you’re confusing MacOS with iOS.
I’m with you. I was in the market for a new laptop earlier this year and it was surprisingly hard to find something that didn’t look like it was designed by and for a bunch of teenagers. Not that there’s anything wrong with that if that’s what you enjoy, but it’s thoroughly not my style.
What VPN offers 12 months for $12 and is there a catch? I’m happy with Proton but having something cheap and trustworthy to recommend would be nice.
As far as I know they still support some of their old Intel lineup, but it’s all ARM for new devices now.
Meh, the only time I’m actually using my mouse for prolonged periods of time is when I’m gaming. And whenever I feel strained I’ll just switch to a controller, I’m absolutely terrible with controllers but they still feel less weird to my brain than trackballs.
And Rowling’s wealth is somewhere between God and Scrooge McDuck, so people buying or not buying the game really makes fuck all of a difference. If you’re really feeling bad about it donate £10 to a UK trans rights activist group and I guarantee you that those £10 will be having a far greater impact than whatever royalties Rowling made from your purchase.
Technically yes. But if the games are no longer even being sold I’d argue that it’s perfectly fine to do it anyway.
How is that a good thing? I want to be able to chargeback if I don’t get what I ordered.
