There’s a closer knit community than Reddit due to the smaller size, and advertisements and paid agenda posts are few and far between. We have momentum and lot of potential- as long as Reddit keeps up the downward spiral, people will join lemmy and tell others about it. If you want to increase activity on lemmy, it starts with you! Remember to upvote and comment, and post something you found that was interesting, even if it’s to a community you don’t usually post to.

Mozilla isn't some paragon of free open source non-profit charity like everyone is claiming, they need to make a profit just like everyone else to keep themselves up there as a competitor to Google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation

Currently use Firefox and Brave for different applications but I am considering switching to Vivaldi, I definitely want to do more research on all of them though.

It has an easy to find option to turn off everything related to Crypto

Classic investment scam- offer a valueless item at a price, get everyone hyped up about the new item which is supposed to gain value, get people to invest, let the insiders in the company know so they can sell off, then get rid of it altogether. I hope they get prosecuted for this.

Reddit is just a crappy crypto scam at this point

I think that people should be able to own them, but they need to be put in the same class as foxes, wolves, hyenas and wild dogs. I met a sweet pit bull at a friend's house but the first thing she did was jump on me and scratch my stomach, which drew blood.

Statistically pit bulls and closely related breeds are responsible for the most attacks. Anyone bringing human race into this is silly.

The Republicans are desperate. I’m seeing anti issue 2 ads claiming that there’s no warning label requirements for gummies as they literally showed bags of “stoner patch kids” like 1) who’s going to give out their hard earned drugs for Halloween? 2) what manufacturer isn’t going to put a warning label on their packaging to avoid liability?

I wonder how much they paid him to say that

There’s a difference between reading-based social media and a feed of overstimulating videos designed to get kids hooked

Out of desperation, yes

No? I'm not a networking guy, I mainly deal with hardware. I do remember when the internet was decentralized and all the innovative content was independent of things like social media. Just because I don't know how to set up my own video server off the top of my head doesn't mean I don't support it.

Unfortunately I'm not networking saavy, but at the very least my Roku TV can play most video files from a USB. I have most of my favorite shows like On Cinema At The Cinema and King of the Hill downloaded and organized by season. Got any tips for labeling show folders that have a season 10? It assumes it's next to season 1.

We get surveilled just as much as people in Russia and China do

I downloaded most of my favorite videos so I can watch them offline and ditched it ever since. I’ll watch if I need to find specific how-to info but other than that I managed to cut it out of my life.

I’m definitely more of a hardware guy, but at least I’m old enough to remember the internet before corporations took it over

There’s lots of free resources on the internet for learning how to do that. I just wish people would realize that the more you learn about technology, the more you can manipulate the world around you for the better, especially in this decade.

I wish videos were hosted on different websites like the old days. Your friends would suggest a website to you to see a funny video like dumb.com and homestar runner. YouTube came along and now they have a monopoly on 99% of full length videos. Make your voice heard and stop using YouTube- host your own videos and keep the spirit of the old web alive

At the very least, treat your bed frame and headboard. Remove any skirts around your bed so the only place the bedbugs can access your bed is the treated surfaces. When you do get them it will slow them down significantly. My best advice to prevent them is to avoid using public coat racks at places like work. Edit: also if you thrift clothes or go to yard sales, keep that stuff in a plastic bag that’s tied shut until you can clean it/inspect it
