OOTL and someone who only uses a vm once every several years for shits & grins: What happened to vmware?
That’ll be what causes Skynet to rise.
Don’t sleep on Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Minish Cap either!
Not in the slightest. Even with the last decade of ‘pfft, why pirate when we have Spotify?!1’ dialogues, music piracy never slowed down for a moment.
Because:
A) New Pipe is a phone app only.
B) People view YouTube on devices other than phones.
C) People view more websites than just YouTube, on which they also want to block ads.
Well I wish you luck in finding what you’re looking for, but Lemmy/Kbin by definition isn’t it.
Any community that isn’t 100% fully owned and operated by you, yourself, Mango, is going to run into the risk of a mod ‘censoring’ or deleting something that you wanna see.
Any and every community. Here, Reddit, Facebook, any social media, any forum public or private. If you yourself don’t own and run it in its entirely, that’s a problem you cannot avoid.
So I mean this without any real intended offense but: shit or get off the pot. Run your own community that connects to no other system or service run by other people and hope the people you wanna talk to drop by, or tbh get used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: Can revenge-downvote me all you want Pepsi but I’m right on this one lol.
You can, it’s called hosting your own instance. It’s literally one of the points of the Fediverse (i.e. ‘Fuck you I don’t like how you’re running things, I’ll go make my own with blackjack and hookers’). If an instance admin does things you don’t like, you get to leave, go to a new instance, and follow the same communities you did before via that one instead.
Tons. Still loving Margaret from 2009ish who asked me if ‘we own the Google’ and wouldn’t take ‘no’.
Also, fuck apple simps.
Former Applecare rep here: Say it again, Trick!
I find it funny any time I check Reddit and see the people complaining in the comments. ‘Whats going on with Reddit lately?’, ‘Why are there so many bots and so much spam as of late?’.
Memories of gerbils I swear, we fuckin’ told you this was gonna happen. How are these simpletons surprised?! (I know I answered my own question there lol).
As someone who used to work for Applecare, TDM was a bit of a lifesaver on some calls!
Having never heard of this nor read the article, I assume it was the 2020’s equivalent of the old AIM chatbots that were amusing to talk to for 11 seconds before realizing you had better shit to do.
Oh fuck :(
