How? They orbit quite a lot higher than the highest clouds.

Highest clouds are like 70-90km. Starlink Sats are 500km+

Or native gestures in Firefox. Either would be perfect.

Is there a single good article on Forbes? It’s always fucking clickbait without actual content.

Yeah, as long as Firefox (or a fork) doesn’t have native gestures, I can’t fulltime swap to it. Gestures addons are not the same. Anyone that used vivaldi (or opera) for any serious length of time knows what I mean.

I work for a large eu government agency. Why the hell they still insist that we promote our workings on Twitter completely eludes me. It does not make any sense whatsoever. They should get off and stop promoting that cesspool. Go to any of the myriad of competitors or just go back to Facebook and Instagram…

Yes, I read it. Outside reputable company found no wrong doing. LTT released a statement. By mentioning the lawsuit, they also shut down speculation that they have a weak position.

OP of that post projects their own horrible experience onto LTT. They add nothing at all to the situation, they don’t offer any new proof whatsoever. Fuck that tbh. I feel sorry for their personal experience, but this has nothing to do with whole Madison story.

When the Madison story came out, I unsubbed from LTT. Always believe the victim. But then more and more info came out that cast quite some doubt on the veracity of the whole story.

Now it sounds more like an employee that had an (maybe very much so for them) unpleasant experience at a company and lashed out. Turns out the work company wasn’t as bad as she made it out to look. Shit happens.

You did see the report they released right? Outside consultant coming to the conclusion no egregious things happened? I’d give them the benefit of the doubt at this point tbh.

Get a cheap new phone number? Your potential employer will find out your identity eventually when you start working there no? What’s the issue with having to use ID to get a new line? You put a fake name on your resume?

There’s things like taking privacy too far you know :)

Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.

A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like “must be in the same building or even the same disk” speeds.

A folder 1

AA folder 2

AAA folder 3

Who cares about readability and logic. My outlook work archives are a mess.

Any post on lemmy that goes against the Linux/ FoSS hivemind gets down voted instantly, regardless if it is well thought out or not.

Yeah, tbh, the insane focus on privacy makes YouTube a lot worse, no shit. The algorithm just throws shit at the wall hoping it sticks, what do you expect?

Make a burner account only for YouTube. See how the quality goes up because you can follow people you are actually interested in.

I personally really don’t see the privacy risk with that? (then again, I gave up on the idea of true privacy online years ago. Privacy through obscurity is enough. I don’t care big companies recognize my habits, as long as they don’t know 100% exactly who I am.)

I looked into it a few years ago. Eg left thumb locks biometrics and requires pw (thus saving you from this particular law) . Right thumb just unlocks like normal.

Back then it was impossible, because biometrics couldn’t differentiate between fingerprints for lord knows which security reason.

No idea if there is a solution for this already, but imo it would be a very important security feature.

I’m not arguing Google is a holy company and inheritely good. It’s just that they offer a service and in the capitalist market we live in, they want/need to be compensated. If you don’t like it, vote with your wallet. I can live with the price I pay to use YouTube. It gives me just enough joy in life that I find the monetary fee reasonable. If they would jack up the prices, I might say fuck it and find alternatives.

My whole point is that this blocking of ad blocking apps is not a surprise at all, and even understandable from a capitalist company pov.

That doesn’t mean I support capitalism and assholes making life worse for us plebs. It just means that in this particular situation, it fits with my lifestyle as a cog in the machine. It’s too much of a pita for me personally to “pirate” YouTube vids like I do with other media content.

To play advocate of the devil here (I can feel the down votes and Foss brigade already coming) : I can understand their logic. Their whole business is fucking ads. These apps bypass their entire business. Count yourself lucky they’ve ignored them this long.

YouTube premium is actually one of the only subscription services I use. My entire family gets ad free YouTube + YouTube premium. The amount of YouTube we watch and music we listen… 100% worth it. + a premium view supports creators more than a free view, so I even get to feel a bit better about myself. (I watch too many different channels to make it financially viable for myself to send them all a dollar/month through means outside of YouTube)

Been saying this for years, the day Firefox gets native gestures, is the day I’ll swap.

Can’t live without them (and speeddial tbh)

Why would I use brave (with its weird fucked up crypto links) over Vivaldi? If you’re using chromium anyway, I don’t get the brave love.

I’m a big John Scalzi fan. Whenever one of his books release, it’s basically xmas for me. There have been a few less than stellar books, but overal they are very enjoyable.

I would buy your soap
