Same for me. As long as I don’t eat it. If I eat it, then hoooo-boy!

Google will never get a cent out of me, willingly.

If it gets annoying enough, and FreeTube stops working, I’ll find something better to do with my time.

Lemmy is closer to what Reddit was 15 years ago, before the masses piled in and made Reddit literally average.

Most of us are Reddit refugees, so we’re bringing all that baggage with us, whether we want to or not.

The main draw of Lemmy for me is the feeling that I’m less exposed to the corporate BS.

Ask ChatGPT and get back to us with the answer.

Pineapple. It’s not just for pizza anymore.

Cake, pizza, chocolate, burgers, ice cream, candy, hot chocolate, soda, pancakes, omelets, chicken, s’mores, salads, peanut butter, rice, sandwiches, and many more things I can’t think of right now.

My concern is the extensive data Reddit collects and stores, and I’m sure will hand it over to whichever government agency wants it, and probably already have. They even keep track of what we upvote and downvote, including comments.

I feel less exposed here, I don’t know if that’s true, but it feels that way.

When options like uBlock and FreeTube no longer block ads, I’ll stop watching YouTube. They’ll never get a cent out of me.

If it weren’t Google, I wouldn’t be against paying. Fuck Google.

Same. Between work and home, I’ve had ~30 Seagate drives fail after less than a year. I stopped buying them for personal use many years ago, but work still insists, because they’re cheaper. I have 1TB WD Black drives that are over ten years old and still running. My newest WD Black drive is a 6TB, and I’ve had it for seven years. I dunno if WD Black is still good, but that’s the first one I’ll try if I need a new drive.

Texas releasing these things in public is horrifying. Tesla is last in this field, and refuses to add LIDAR, which is obviously what is needed.

It got the most recent update, and thought a tunnel was a wall.

Final nail in the coffin.

Is Elon consulting for them?

No one asked for this.

I’ve had Netflix on-and-off since the DVD in the mail days. I tried Amazon Prime for the shipping years ago, when they first started playing with streaming. Those are the only two I’ve had.

I have neither now, and if it turns out I can’t get the few shows I want to watch through other means, then I just won’t watch anymore. Passive media isn’t especially valuable to me. I have other forms of entertainment, including games, and the old stand-by, books. Outside is fun, too, when the weather isn’t crap.

Not to me.

I canceled Netflix, and then soon after moved from Verizon to t-mobile. I got Netflix “free” through t-mobile, so I logged back into my “cancelled” account like I’d never left. Netflix raised the price and t-mobile passed it on, so I was paying $4.50 for Netflix. They raised the price a couple of more times, I think, and then a couple of months ago they raised it again, and I was paying $11.00 for Netflix. After I finished watching Kaos, I cancelled Netflix. I only kept it because it was so cheap, but I rarely watched anything.

All the time I had Netflix, I also was a sailor, because I want to watch things not on Netflix. I should have dropped it the first time they raised the price.

I liked Kaos. Of course, it only got one season.

Is that capers and salami?

In 2012 (ish), I bought a lifetime subscription for a flat $75. Over the next few years of using it, they got worse and worse with shit like this, so I switched to Emby for a bit, and then Jellyfin. I never shared with friends, tho, because I have no friends, so it was always just a pretty interface and convenience for me. Lately, I’ve just been opening the files directly in VLC, because Remmina is refusing to connect to my media server, and I can’t be arsed to figure out why.

Over 6000 hours in Fallout 4.

Less than 300 in Starfield.

I played FO4 today.

I haven’t played Starfield in nearly a year.

Good riddance to Starfield. Fast-track Fallout 5. (I know they won’t.)
