  • Every website these days will just hijack any link posted on their service and there's not a whole lot you can do other than just physically typing in the intended address character by character. No one wants to do that. No one cares. And these platforms know that. That's why they do it 🖕

  • No, it's not excuses, it's just reality. It's hard.

    It's not hard. It isn't. Not even a little.

    If that doesn't leave room for people to support FOSS and privacy friendly browsers that's ok.

    No one is talking about "supporting" FOSS. We're talking about using less exploitative software and services.

    Spend 3 seconds Googling and install and use anything that's not Chrome. It's literally that simple. They just don't care.

  • It takes 0 minutes of my limited spare time to use what already works.

    Uhhhh nope, it takes way less time than it does to simply continue using it. All the time you're using could be spent finding and switching to something else. It literally only takes a few minutes. Way more than people are actually spending on these other platforms. And if they're spending time on these platforms, they can't possibly avoid learning about competing platforms.

    How someone chooses to use their corporate allotted time off is none of your fucking business anyway.

    How an individual chooses to use their time is none of my concern. How millions of people choose to use their time directly impacts everyone else, myself included, so yes it abso-fucking-lutely is my business.

  • LOL that makes zero sense. It takes 5 minutes to switch to a different browser or service. If they were tired or didn't have time, they wouldn't be spending it on Twitter and Reddit.

  • Sure we can but will we? No.

    Twitter has only lost ~10% of it's userbase after repeatedly abusing its own users. Reddit probably less. After everything we've learned about Meta, tens of millions of people signed up on day 1 to join their new service, Threads. Google Chrome still has like 80% market share.

    Changing is honestly a trivial ask, but we won't, because no one cares.

  • YouTube, I've been using ad-blockers since the advent of pop-up ads in the late 90s. You've never been able to stop this, and you aren't going to now.

    I don't use the YouTube app or watch your videos on my browser. I use FreeTube on desktop, LibreTube and GrayJay on mobile and FCast on TV so 🖕

  • My guy you posted like 74 comments so maybe I missed the one with the link in it.

    I see no reason to go through the trouble of dealing with these workarounds when it's simply not a problem for other apps and when I can already find the data with GW Maps.

    But thanks anyway.

  • Possibly, but they wouldn't do it 8 hours/day by choice. Anyone who has made what they love doing into their job will tell you this.

    Nobody picks up garbage for fun. Whos going to pick up the garbage? Who's going to wait tables? Who's going to be a nurse?

  • And who cares if some small proportion of people just want the basics and aren't willing to work more?

    Not "work more". Work at all. Because society needs people to work to function. Money doesn't grow on trees, it represents other people's time. If there's no time, there's no money. Money just becomes completely without value .

    Do you literally want to force them with death to make them work?

    What even the fuck are you talking about?

    Because you responded to something easily observable with the brainless "doubt".

    Buddy your position is the only thing here that's brainless.

    You are either trolling or just remarkably stupid. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

    I see we're persisting with the personal insults. I think it's pretty clear you have no interest in an honest and productive discussion and simply desire to lambast those who disagree with you. I have no interest in such a discussion, so you can be gone, thanks.
