Javascript is overrated and more websites should be static with minimal interactive bs. But that’s just me, a cynical user tired of intrusive pop-ups and predatory advertising scripts.

Even if you got them using PGP somehow, there’s always a risk. Apps designed to upload screenshots, share contacts or simple human errors like “hey did you hear X saying Y”, etc.

It’s all part of the authentic lemmy experience.

It’s like having a discord ‘server’. Nothing gets actually talked about, noteworthy stuffs are hidden beyond layers of clunky mobile UI and everyone’s phone numbers are leaked in the process.

Piggybacking on this, I tried Fitgirl repack releases and some of them hang up during install when executed through wine or proton. I resorted to installing them from a windows boot and then execute them from linux, but does anyone have a better solution?

They went balls deep with the devil’s spawn called nprotect.

Complete the obligatory “is this a staircase or street crossing” round only to be roundhouse kicked back to the beginning.

It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, “Ethics for Tomorrow”

Whether it’s text or video, there will always be a “Let me tell you about that time when I was on vacation” before the damn pot roast recipe or “Subscribe and play Raid Shadow Legends” followed by a 15 min padding.

Does that equate to actually deleting the Reddit account in question though? I assume only the connection is severed, but Reddit still retains the userdata from now a disconnected ghost account.

Somewhere deep inside Redmond’s vaults, Tay is scheming for her comeback.

Recycled parts? That’s simply being too dumb to be alive on this world. And I thought putting a wireless xbox controller for navigating the damn sub was dumb enough.

Hah, bold of you to assume my local public transport actually has a schedule.

Knowing Google, they will probably kill it after months of neglect.

Like any other web services, Google can see the public ip your personal invidious instance is using to access youtube servers. The local 192.168.x.x ip are for internal access.

This is why I always save contents as a new file instead of overwriting the original one when I’m using a machine that isn’t mine. I’ve been burned so many times by flimsy newline characters, proper unicode support, legacy encoding and many other stuff you assume it should be already in place.

There’s an ISP level filter against pornography and North Korea related materials, but VPN uses are tolerated in South Korea as far as I’m concerned.

No South Korea nodes in Mullvad’s server list. Perhaps other providers do? I don’t think SK is a popular destination for exit nodes since it has a strong censorship against pornography among others.

Same happened with people using the Cloud To Butt extension which replaced every ‘cloud’ with ‘butt’ even for codes. Hilarity ensued.

Not sure if shadowbanning can work here. Wasting each instance’s limited pool of resources is not what we want to encourage.
