Literally no one can afford houses these days. This only affects rich and privileged people.

Good. The lemdroid instance is run by the subreddit mods, and they’re toxic as hell.

For what it’s worth, [email protected] never closed.

They jerk themselves off to photos of meat and eat the load.

My website uses webp because my images go from 5MB down to 100KB with no quality loss.

My wallet and slow internet users thank me. Plus my website isn’t meant for people to save images. Not sure why you’d be saving images of my products.

I wouldn’t.

That website is confusing to the average user and makes no sense. Linking directly to an instance, doesn’t matter which, gives them a familiar UI to Reddit, and allows them to click “sign up” without issue. From there they can learn about instances and join a different one.

join-lemmy.org is confusing, and makes it seem like it’s some software you download to the average user.

Ya, you should.

I can’t open that link because I block .zip domains lol

Perhaps the military should have a system in place to not allow emails to be sent outside of very specific TLDs if it’s that sensitive? And perhaps have an automated contact book, instead of relying on someone typing out the to: address manually to be able to make that mistake in the first place?

Seems like some very basic security measures for something so serious.

Actually really huge security threats. It’s a very good idea to block them. I especially did because my girlfriend works for the government and does some secret stuff that can’t really get out, and she deals with a ton of real .zip files. I think everyone regardless of who they are should make sure to block them.

Damn, lemmy.zip, eh? If that instance is public, I don’t see that being a good thing.

Tons of businesses, people, etc, are all banning .zip and .mov TLDs for security purposes. I’ve personally banned all those domains from my network as well.

Bold move.

Ad block isn’t really a solution.

And when you need to block ads on a friends phone? roku tv? android tv? apple tv? iphone or ipad? android phone or tablet?

Sure, pi hole can work, until you leave the house. Some phones can be rooted to use an adblocker, but that’s not practical for everyone. You can use DNS blocking, but that means all of your traffic is tunneled through a random DNS you can hopefully trust.

It’s just a lot. It’s possible, but you really need to manage it and keep it working. When a solution is killed, you gotta find a new solution.

It’s just easier to pay for the family plan. Keeps everything working, and my family isn’t hitting me up for tech support every other day because they broke something.

If you only watch on your PC, or you only watch at home, adblock or pi hole is great. Set it and forget it. I watch YouTube on plenty of devices across plenty of networks and don’t want to deal with it.

What? millions and millions of people? Do you realize not everyone lives in a city? Satellite TV is insanely popular in Canada. Every single provider offers it.

They have WISP and Starlink also. Both using satellites.

Not sure why you think a satellite is some ancient technology lmao. It’s the norm outside of cities.

Nah.

I can use YouTube on any of my devices on any network and don’t worry about ever seeing an ad. It’s nice.

Sure, you can use revanced, pi hole, ublock origin, etc, but whenever they break, or have short down times where ads sneak in until the filters get updates, it’s just not worth the effort.

It increased a couple months ago to like $25 CAD lmao. Still worth it, though. I watch so much YouTube.

It’s weird how people are fine paying for Netflix, Hulu, CrunchyRoll, Twitch, etc, but draw the line at YouTube, the platform that has infinite more content and actual value.

It’s still less than my parents pay for satellite. Also comes with YouTube Music if you wanna ditch Spotify. Kinda a 2 in 1 deal.

I know the US is hella behind in payment technologies, but can you tap your phone in NL to pay for toilets? I haven’t carried cash for 15+ years in Canada. If so, I honestly like that system. At least I wouldn’t encounter a group of homeless people shooting up in the timmies bathroom at 8pm.

I forgot that in some countries toilets aren’t free to use. That’s wild!

What? Redditors would pay MORE to change their icon to a swastika. Change the icon back, and charge $50 for a hate symbol and you got yourself a steady income, baby!

Google when someone pays for good reviews: 😴

Google when people are upset at change and rightfully give a negative review: 🤬❌ (mass delete all negative reviews)

Never understood why people get upset for learning. My sister is 33 and has her own business. Every time she writes emails or company ads, she types at a 3rd grade level.

She uses the wrong “there”, says “should of”, etc.

When I try to teach her, she gets angry. Why? Do you want to stay stupid?
