Oh yeah, that history search is absolute garbage and has been so for a few years now, it’s sometimes easier to do a normal YT search, i’ve been tempted many times to do a periodic Takeout and use the result to do a proper local search, but honestly feels like too much work for the purpose

For those of us who have never played any of them, is it suggested you go through 1 and 2 first? Is there a recommended play order? Or just “Jump into 3 and forget about it”?

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Isn’t that the PineTime? Or am i mistaken in that somehow?

I’ve heard this described as “the 1% Rule”, which more or less goes like: In online communities, 1% of the users generate 90% of the content, 9% of the users create 10% of the content by reacting to, modifying or generally interacting with that 1%, and the other 90% of people are lurkers. This fits quite well with what I’ve seen on online communities myself for decades. So, if you alienate that 1%, your community will eventually either disappear or become a hollow reflection of what it used to be.

Yet it still must be done

This site is in the US, is there a mirror for if/when they decide to target it?

Only if it actually worked as the salespeople said it does, we have used this tech enough to know that it very much does not do what they say it can do

Too damn bad then, hopefully this will help

And a sea mine? 😂

MANY apps currently have these unneeded tracker parameters, here’s Youtube

This right here, this isn’t conscientious analysis of tech and intellectual honesty or whatever, it’s a calculated shot at it’s competitors who are desperately trying to prevent the generative AI market house of cards from falling

The only other alternative is Chrome-based browsers, you know, the browser made by the gigantic ad company

Noted! Need to see if it has an easy way to migrate from Firefox

Thing is, a well configured Linux system will just work, and continue to work for the foreseeable future. You have zero guarantee of this with Windows.

After being in tech for like 30 years, i’d say that every OS sucks, but the way they suck and the intensity of said sucking is very much not the same across them. Linux VERY MUCH has issues, yes, but most of the time they’re in your power to diagnose and fix, in Windows the main troubleshooting advice has remained mostly the same across decades, the 3 R’s, Reboot, Reinstall, Reformat, because many times you just don’t know and CANNOT know what went wrong.
