Most of his behavior I've been reading about sounds exactly like a toddler acting out having a tantrum testing the limits of what they can get away with, so I doubt it.

I started to ween myself off when they announced they were killing third party apps since I was never going to use that trash app. As the weeks went on and they showed they would rather prioritize their interests over the community I realized things would never change and the idea of what reddit was in my head didn't match reality so I made a few Lemmy accounts.

There are a few niche subreddits that didn't come over or I just haven't found them, honestly I've not really looked. It took a bit to acclimate to Lemmy and how things federate and there were a few syncing issues that were fixed pretty quickly as the exodus happened which is really nice. The admins on all the instances seem to have their own biases in how they run their community and those seem to fall in line with the rest of their communities so it doesn't seem like a big deal as most recognize their differences and try and work together anyway. I think that even though some may disagree or outright hate each other they want the concept of the fediverse to work so they put in the effort which is all anyone can ask of each other.

As for how I'm doing and the fear of missing out, it's honestly not much different other than a few niche communities that are available off of reddit anyway so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. The only thing we don't have is a fediverse mascot afaik.

Games getting their release dates pushed back should be applauded not criticized.

Stop charging the wealthy guy a fee that allows him to do what he wants and just make him sit facing the corner for half an hour if you want him to learn.

On the graphic it said wifi 5 and the title said wifi 6 and the wifi and Bluetooth icons were swapped for the versions making it look sketchy, but I realized now it says wifi 5/2.4 referring to the frequency.

Out of curiosity what OS or pseudo OS are you running off of it?

We have a lot of enemies out that way and so do they, so we became allies and support them because it's in our best interest. We keep supporting them because apparently they've held up whatever end of the bargain we request and for the US money is easy.

That thing looks sketchy as hell, title stats and picture stats don't even match.

Reverse Image search is offered by Google but it's not focused on faces, there are many companies that do this they just target governments and other corporations for their business instead of publicly advertising it. What do you think Meta does with everything that's uploaded to it?

I switched from T-Mobile to mint not long ago and only two things changed, how much and who I pay, but like he said they'll come for us soon enough now that they bought mint.

Companies love to install backdoors and proprietary software for drivers that act suspiciously like spyware, it's their favorite past time. So while the OS may be trustworthy the additional software they install is not.

Sounds like genocide to me.

Amazon probably lost the license from whomever owns the rights to the movie and thus it's not in their catalog anymore.

I wanted to do my own self-hosted storage but for the cost and features I went with Dropbox. It's $10 a month if you prepay for the year otherwise it's $12 and you get two terabytes of storage. For that you get all the same things most self-hosted solutions will offer including 30 days of versioning/backups. Additionally it's pretty popular so most software has built in integration which is convenient but not something you need. Bottom line is doing your own storage can be cheap but adding off-site backups gets expensive and just going straight to off-site backups (cloud storage) is going to be close to the $10-$12 dollars you'll pay anyway but you have to do all the work.

Counter productive more like.

Look at OP coming in here to brag.

Because they spent $80 million dollars to make it untraceable so it wouldn't get shot down.

"I signed an NDA and cannot say more."

I imagine they would have to be part of the conspiracy to have planted them when they did otherwise it would be a really big coincidence. Also I am not 100% sure of everything that happened but it looks like they were planted at the DNC and RNC HQ's so I don't think they would have affected Congress. Also, from looking at some information from the FBI it looks like these devices were never intended to go off but instead possibly used for diversions.

It's also possible they just never had a chance to use them as things didn't go according to their plans that day.

Four dots for an ellipsis? What a monster!

When it happened there was public outcry and as I recall the excuse given was that he had given them Starlink to assist in recovery efforts which is fine. When they started strapping it onto weapons that moved from providing aid to providing weapons to a foreign nation whom at the time was authorized to receive weapons and Starlink isn't an authorized weapons dealer to begin with. So it was shut down as a knee jerk reaction to avoid penalty US arms dealing penalties.

Mind you this is just from my imperfect memory and only hearsay at that, I honestly don't know why six out of every ten articles are about this guy.
