I am seeing this black and white thinking a lot. Just because I don't do the thing you want me to do, I am supposedly "fuckin stupid". Very mature bud, very mature.

I find this discussion to be quite interesting because it seems like you cannot handle people disagreeing with you very well. Maybe this is a returning thing in your life and if it is, I advise you to get help. It's not normal to respond in the way you are responding to a simple disagreement. All the best with that.

Thanks for the write. I've been playing with that search engine for a bit and most I can find is recent tv shows and movies. And some random stuff (mostly in german).

Could be usefull for some of us.

Thing is... if I have to do that for every time someone linkdrops an article, I'll have no time left in my day.

And it seems I was right that I have no real reason to use tor.

Goes to show I am getting tired. Why didn't I think of that. Ofcourse meta wants to keep you on their platform as long as possible. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

While I agree with you, I'm wondering what the benefit is of watching youtube and posting/reading lemmy/mastodon through a tor network. Because those are the main things I do. While I do understand that in some countries and also in public wifi networks the chances of traffic being intercepted and man in the middle attacks are higher, I do not expect that to happen to my fibre connection in my western country.

Thanks for the confirmation. I bet they don't even notice it happening. Though this could happen to anyone on any side of the spectrum. It's sad that this is what the internet has become.

I'd rather not waste my time reading an article about a program I'm not currently using to find out if I should use it our not. I'd rather see a post that has bulletpoints with pre's and cons. My time is limited enough as it is.

[edit] I realise that my comment will probably come across as unfriendly so I will add some explaining to it.

I am currently in a western country using a fibre landline and I trust my internet provider to not intercept my data or use things like a man in the middle attack. Am I right for assuming that and if so, would tor prevent that? Will tor slow down my internet? I mostly watch youtube videos and read/post on lemmy/mastodon. I am not against using tor at all, but my energy and time are limited so I don't feel like reading a whole article just for an app I do not feel the need to use. I am currently very happy with my firefox browser and all the add-ons I use. And with all the modifications I have put into it to make it work just the way I like. Would I loose all that by switching to tor? I am prepared to change to tor but I am not in the camp of "protect privacy at all costs, even if it greatly inconveniences me". Especially if the risks of not using tor seem quite low in my situation.

The actual problem is that they think they should just force one or the other on us. Give us a choice to sort our feed and we'll figure out what we like best.

This is my life now.

I don't think I really have a reason to use it.

But they do fuel polarization in general. I'm sure of it.

YouTube ReVanced for me.

Ooh, this is the rare 110v to e-waste converter!

This is what kept me off fediverse for a while. Reading about another incident like this.

If your admins are adults about things and don't overreact to every little thing, then that's great. But sadly not everyone is mature like that.

I agree. Not all these forums are about the same content nor do they all involve the nazi stuff.

Neat!

Time for me to jump ship too. I've just realized that I was mainly on twitter just to follow one person, and they have jumped ship already.

Thanks. I remember a while ago I was looking at Atom and Brackets. But I see both of those have been put down. At least the linux version has as far as the latter is concerned.

Aur is not as scary as it seens. But I don't really have any good advice for gaming.
