  • You analogy is terrible.

    A better one is handing out business cards everywhere you go but then expecting to know who looked at them and when.

    Are you in marketing? This smacks of tracking links on emails so you can start ringing any customer who clicked on your spam because now they're a "lead".

  • Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.

    Don't really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox's work and then releases it later.

    I want a Google and Apple alternative and I'd rather support it at the top of the chain.

  • You think a public LinkedIn profile - full of information curated and posted by the user with the full intention that it be seen by the public - is the equivalent of a private residence and personal phone line?

  • I used to use it when confirming contact names and positions for people who requested work from our company.

    But all I want is to see Joe Bloggs (ah yes, he spells it with two Gs) works at Widget Co, and they are indeed the technical manager. I'm not there to make friends or recruit people so I don't want them seeing I'm looking them up.

  • I prefer the separation.

    Its interesting to read 3 or 4 topics on the same thing (sometimes it's even the same person posting to multiple instances) but getting wildly different "public opinion" depending on where it was posted and who ended up as the top comment (which tends to influence the rest of the comments).

  • Who cares? If your upvote or downvote or any other activity you deliberately perform on a public platform is something you're embarrassed about and wouldn't be willing to do in a face to face engagement you probably shouldn't be doing it.

  • I'm here too - better make it a bakers dozen 😎

  • Dunno man, but if you find out let me know cause every time I see this bad boy I'm giggling like a schoolgirl no matter the situation

  • 1Password is the only one I found that I can share with the family, syncs changes practically instantly, and actually detects login fields on every platform I use it on (Android, Windows, Linux).

  • I love that you're saying monopolies are terrible, while crowing about how successful Epic is and how they licence their game engine to half the industry (presumably making them the largest share, given the remaining 50% is shared among every other alternative).

    Seems like this Steam monopoly isn't having the negative affect you're suggesting.

    I'm agnostic to all storefronts and platforms, I just hate exclusivity contracts.

  • No wonder they don't sell it anywhere else - wouldn't meet local safety requirements.

    I liked a recent BYD Shark teardown video by some American mob... Their biggest complaint was that it was "overbuilt" lol

    Fire up them tariffs lads, protectionism is the only thing ensuring sales.

  • I mean it's not really... Once bitten, twice shy. After 20 years of being bitten I'm pretty much amaxophobic towards the brand.

  • They've sucked for the last 20 years, why would the next 20 be any different?

  • American cars are so bad. We did ~3000k of driving last year in the US and noticed that most of the cars on the road were new. Didn't take long to realise why - between terrible driving standards causing them to crash regularly, terrible build quality causing the interior to fall apart, and needing to drive EVERYWHERE so you flog the thing out in about 12 months vehicles are practically disposable.

    There were late model cars still rocking the flashing brake light as an indicator wtf lol

  • That's some vintage memeing

  • Satellite and Mobile are both pretty bad options for hosting.

    Have you looked at tailscale or CloudFlare zerotrust to allow access to your server?

  • This sounds exactly like an episode from the first season of Utopia

  • I don't know about propoganda from a political point of view, but the amount of casual animal cruelty on the platform is enough for me to leave it with a worse opinion of the country than I originally had.
