It’s so that you can’t share your card with friends. You specifically have to live at the same place and have proof when you add them to the account

Browsers on iOS just use WebKit. So chromium or quantum aren’t allowed. So all the work Firefox is doing for android isn’t compatible

It is coming to iOS “next year”

I mean , you can’t exactly go ask a doctor how to use lsd. Sometimes you just want to read up on something based on someone else’s personal experience. The website might be doing some dumb shit lately but it’s hard to replace the vast number of people who have answered exact questions you’re looking for. Lemmy just doesn’t have the 10+ year head start

It’s still the best search engine in my experience. I’ve tried using bing and DuckDuckGo. They just don’t cut it and the ai stuff isn’t particular impressive to me. Google just understands the power of defaults

lol i was about to say. Updates have been free since what , Lion? Lemmy is just hurr durr non Linux operating systems bad 🙄

I’m just saying none of those are worth the switch to Linux. Not if you use applications that only work or work best on windows and to a certain extent Mac. Chrome and Microsoft do it to each other , it’s nothing new. Download your browser and move on.

We could make a list of complaints about either but most people would still use windows before touching Linux. It’s that simple. Of Linux was that good , why isn’t everyone just flocking to use and develop for it. 🙄

You see how that works though. They express windows is apparently worse than Linux because of a survey. But I could say the same thing about I have no idea why anyone would want to use Linux and restrict themselves to an inferior product.

One survey in a browser that’s made by the os developer is fine and people just like to over react if it’s not their precious open source software. Putting up with using Linux seems like even more bullshit if you use any application that doesn’t support Linux.

Either way , they’re free services so who care.

I’d rather deal with windows and this than to use Linux. Apparently a survey is doing too much

🙄 way to be over dramatic

Because many of the people on this site are cheap fucks to think Linux is the best os and everything should open source and free. The modern internet is so bad while still taking part in it.

But at the end of the day, I watch YouTube in peace without having to find ridiculous work arounds on all of my devices. So we’re happy and they’re the ones upset

YouTube has had ads for longer than I’ve been using it. They introduced it in 2007 from a quick google search. I started using chrome in 2009, and Adblock extensions not too long after.

I’ve been here the whole time and I’ve known that ads were a way to monetize the video, but I blocked them because I don’t like ads. For a while it just seemed like Google didn’t care. I just did it because I could and there was no alternative. When they released premium , I went that route. I use and depend on the service for a lot , so I don’t mind kicking them some funds.

But please do continue expecting something for free despite the fact you have an option to watch it for free with ads or to pay for premium because that’s how it always was 🙄

Ahh yes the value of getting something for free for almost 2 decades goes down the moment they actually want people to watch the ads or ask people to pay.

I can’t remember the last time I let someone ring me up at Walmart. Self checkout was always faster because most of the attended registers were closed. Most of my adult life I’ve bagged myself and idk if I’d want to go back tbh. The tech is annoying to deal with though

When that happens to YouTube , I’ll change my mind. But until then I’m not going to continue acting entitled to keep using an adblocker because I feel they don’t need the profit. I solved that problem by paying for premium years ago. If you’re concerned about having your data sold, why even use the service. I’m helping support the content I’m watching either with ads or by paying premium. What they do with that information is a separate issue.

It’s not really a problem though, least not one worth being constantly all over my feed. the solution is in the picture. Allow YT ads or pay , it’s really not the hard.

For Macs: I use Time Machine backups on unraid (nothing fancy but it has built in settings to support it effortlessly). There’s also https://hub.docker.com/r/mbentley/timemachine that I tried out a year ago.

I haven’t tried over vpn but as long as you can mount the share , it should be fine.

It really isn’t. There’s so many free skins that look good and are better than the battlepass ones that I haven’t been tempted to buy it. It’s just been cool to hate on Diablo.

The season is whatever but it let me start a new character and I’m having a lot of fun after the barb buffs. Minus the performance issues in social spaces , it’s still a lot of fun. But I guess you get downvoted gif having an opinion… thought this wasn’t Reddit

The community documentation is really good; this makes it super easy to find out how to do something or fix an issue. Adding a drive is super easy , and doesn’t require all the drives to be the same size, you can mix and match. It also supports docker on top of all of that. If you’re willing to manage all of that yourself from scratch , then I doubt you’d like it. It’s convenient for most people that don’t want to spend a lot of time managing and troubleshooting their nas.
