Every social media site does the exact same thing. There was just an article on here the other day about the US government buying people's information from data brokers. How is that any different? Meta has been censoring anything pro-Palestine, Twitter is a breeding ground for Nazis, YouTube picks and chooses what counts as "mature content" aka what gets monetized. The way TikTok treats privacy is how every social media platform treats it, it has nothing to do with them being Chinese.

Feminism is leftism and leftism is feminism. It's always been that way because it's all about the same issue, equality. Women's rights, civil rights, trans rights, they're all fighting for the same thing. One of my favorite quotes comes from Fannie Lou Hamer, civil rights and women's rights activist, "Nobody's free until everybody's free"

Rerouting DNS requests to your Pi Hole is the solution to this, unfortunately not every router supports this. My Netgear router, for example, doesn't have the option, and of course I ended up getting a model that doesn't work with custom firmware. I'm considering setting up a Raspberry Pi as the gateway for my network so I can do stuff like this.

It's like the $5 foot long, which was neither $5 or a foot long

Most ISPs are also the default DNS resolver for a lot of people, so they see the domain you're requesting an IP for.

Honestly, I'm surprised it works too, especially for apps like the launcher. I guess we can thank the engineers for taking the easy route

There are apps that circumvent DNS blocking. They hard code the DNS server into the app, so instead of making requests to your set DNS, they make them directly to, say, Google's DNS (8.8.8.8)

Hyperion -> HyperHDR

I wish less people used Twitter. Like my city exclusively communicates through Twitter

I knew not to use Opera GX as soon as they started sponsoring youtubers. I swear, youtube sponsorships are like anti-ads. 9 times out of 10 they're doing something sketchy.

So AI can't exist without stealing people's content and it can't exist without using too much energy. Why does it exist then?

He does though. You can't build fancy sets and put on huge productions without having money. Like yeah, Jimmy might not have millions of dollars in his personal bank account, but his business sure does.

I'm running mine off an SSD using an M.2 to USB adapter

It's so braindead. The entire point of Bitcoin is that it's 100% traceable

Except when they deem it unsuitable for advertisers, they still run ads on the video, they just don't pay the creator so Google gets 100% of the ad money

It's when you have more than 99 tabs open

Amazon has essentially become a drop shipping front for AliExpress. You're getting the exact same terrible, knockoff products, just marked up and stored in an Amazon warehouse so you get it in two days instead of two weeks. They're both shitty, but at least with AliExpress you aren't paying extra for the middleman to make a profit.

And this is why blåhaj zone is the best lemmy instance, I'm so glad I found this place.

None that I've noticed. The elements occasionally move around to help prevent burn-in
