The few times I paid for it, the solutions were often wrong as well. Very infuriating.

TIL as well. It went public back in 2021 just a year before the GenAI craze.

Hopefully by then we have full mirrors of YT. Maybe PeerTube would be viable replacement

On mobile, I don’t use the app. I use safari + youtube.com with vinegar app and adguard.

No ads plus I get PIP. Quality is a hit or miss but idc about that.

Seems pp rolled this “feature” out to USA only due to our lax regulations on privacy. Another user (in Canada) pointed out the option was not seen in Profile & Data

I updated title, thanks

Page mentions “Notice of Amendment(s) to the United States PayPal Agreement(s)”. So it’s likely US only (for now).

If you don’t see the “Data and Privacy” option to opt out on their website or app. Then it’s likely they are not sharing your data, yet.

US has been playing catch up for decades. FedNow was implemented in 2023 to allow instant P2P payments between banks thereby eliminating the need for PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, et al.

It will take some time before we see banks make this fully available to everyone and subsequently merchants using it.

the reason this person has any relevancy (same with the other shit posters on that godforsaken platform), is because hate filled/controversial trash generates the most engagement.

Algos can’t tell the difference between “negative” or “positive” engagement. Only “post has been engaged 1M times, must serve post to more people in bucket/cluster 9. Also serve adult diaper ads, and “alpha juice” ads”

I have been exploring self hosting my email.

Docker mail server for backend. Roundcube for web ui

Still keeping accounts at mainstream providers though as backup, especially for outgoing mail.

I am just waiting for a malware developer or state actor to use this as a way to infect computers with 0-days.

This is a disaster. Why anybody would decide to use Windows for any serious workloads is unfathomable to me.

Office products are mostly cross-platform (outlook, word, excel).

There was a subset of Google contractors trying to unionize but while the group was campaigning at city hall. Google executives decided to not renew the contract and all of them were jobless.

I wouldn’t touch a TSLA product even if it was given to me.

My $1 bid is ready to submit to ByteDance once grandpa signs that bill.

“The Matrix”, obviously.

Yet another reason to avoid Apple hardware.

I invested so much into this stupid ecosystem. Feels silly now after realizing how abusive this company is and the lengths it will go to keep you walled in.

I just want 1 free pls

… and open source projects continue to list discord as a community option to discuss items about their project.

Maybe teal or cyan (green + blue) 😉

If you are poor with outlandish ideas, you are crazy. But if you are rich, then you are eccentric, entrepreneurial, or a maverick.
