Oh Yay! Admittedly, I didn’t try it recently but I remember seeing an article that was down. If it’s back up, I’m glad to hear it.

Is torrent galaxy still down? That was my go to and sounds like I have to find another. I am a little worried if they keep bringing down the big ones like that, that we’ll be left with less choices and it’ll be more difficult.

Ah. Well that sucks =(

I thought the EU has been pretty good on privacy so far. Of course the US is trying to duck it up.

Not to mention removing features, like Netflix removing the ability to download media.

Ooh will the link be broken half the time for extra Stack Overflow experience?

That’s the one thing, I really want more niche communities. Not sure if we just need more people or community discovery needs to be easier. I’d like to see more with the league of legends community and Meet Your Maker community, and I’m sure other people have niche video games or other small hobby communities they’d like to see take off more.

For 1) That’s funny because other people have said that about lemmy.world. Lemmy.world and sh.itjustwor.ks were defederated from Beehaw during the Reddit exodus for that very reason.

It definitely isn’t enough to feed the constant content addiction I had with Reddit, but I’ve found that kind of a good thing lol. I’ve started reading books and comics on my phone, getting out of bed faster, working on other projects, etc. It’s like using a less toxic version to wean off, like using vapes or patches to get off cigarettes.

I remember hearing about that one as I was leaving Reddit. I was between that and Tildes, but ended up settling on Lemmy and Kbin. Glad to hear they’re still surviving.

Every. Damn. Time.

So many of my searches lead to Microsoft forums where my exact issue is posted, MS asks for more information, then some auto-mod closes the issue because there wasn’t any further follow up and they can’t replicate it.

Thanks!

Online? Because I’ve been looking for some good external data storage solutions today if you’ve got a link lol.

I’m also considering springing for a Synology NAS if I can find a good deal, but I’ve already dropped a lot on a laptop.

Ya, it’s strange, isn’t it? The more I hear about things like the retina scan thing for crypto thing you’re talking about or the complaints of his increased push for profitization over safety, the more he seems like a standard sucky tech bro CEO and I lean towards the canning being deserved. But I wish they’d have made it more clear.

But why not say that?

Anyone know why they wouldn’t say why they fired him? An explanation would have really cleared a lot up.

This is why I still believe in physical media. While most of my purchases are digital nowadays, I consider them disposable basically. For movies and games I really care about and want to be able to keep, I like physical.

Thanks to centralization that can change at any moment and people can’t do anything about it. We learned that from Twitter and Reddit and others.
