You’re only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it’s money-horney talking in you.

And most of the days that’s what lemmy sounds like “I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there’s an equal distribution of girls among all of us”.

We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you’ll never convince me that you’re neither jealous nor horny.

I just keep my credit card with me at all times. It doesn’t occupy much space, and google pay can go pound sand.

Custom ROM gang :)

Welcome to the Nerdiverse, where normies are kept out of.

No boomer reads whatever you, regular lemming, are reading.

Independent journalism is dead because journalists need to be paid. And you guys celebrate this? Yeah, sure, keep reading your “free” news. Just remember to ask yourself who do you think is paying for it and why.

Signal just somehow forgets to store your IP address. So, their response will be “here are our logs, that phone number last time logged in yesterday, that’s all we got”

Opposite in the EU. Most banks won’t even give you an option for a dispute. Or it will be awfully convoluted.

PayPal? Best dispute system ever. Saved me from online purchase scams countless times.

Same. Not GDPR compliant, that’s for sure.

Esperanto’s equivalent would probably be Haskell.

Python is probably more like Spanish. Very easy basics, but then people from different regions of where it’s has spread out barely understand each other

The f are you on about? YouTube has a fairly affordable ad-free tier with a transparent revenue-share model that multiple top content creators have openly endorsed.

This ad infested hell only exists because most of the internet users think it’s outrageous to pay 10$/month for an all-you-can-eat VoD service. Some top creators did branch out to create their own streaming services, and spoiler alert, it’s more expensive, or just as expensive but with muuuuch less content.

I do care if all that YT content is gone. It’s a fuckin goldmine.

I’d really wish they actually had the audacity to just paywall the entire platform. Pay or fuck off, no ads.

And then people like you can go back to the good old days of some other random free video hosting service where a 360p video with a cat meme was buffering for a minute on a good day, or was completely unavailable on a bad one.

You’re too far up your own ass.

Vanced got nuked, revanced constantly needs to be patched, otherwise it slips to the low quality settings. Free YT days are numbered.

And no, it’s not easy. Unless they want to encode ads into videos, and re-render the whole thing. Which is ludicrously expensive. For as long as they don’t there will be a way to not play the ad chunks.

What’s there to disagree with? you prove my point.

it stood on the shoulders of volunteers

Yeah. A classic story. A sysadmin took the old server from his work after they upgraded and now runs <insert video game guild imageboard/wiki/chat> on it.

With the amount of traffic modern web pipes through Google’s and Cloudflare’s servers, all of you homebrewers wouldn’t be enough to take over even 5% of that.

You can’t go back to the good old days because you’ll break your back trying to, and the collective lemmy anon can’t, because they’re too used to freeload while getting big tech quality service.

Good point. Time to gdpr my bank.

Don’t come crying back when they’ll force you to either pay 50$/hour for your cat videos, or entirely block off your access to the internet as they control the engine behind 99% of the browser market share.

No, you will not come and host it for free on lemmy. It already struggles with hosting, and already needs monetary support, even though most heavy content is on some 3rd party domain.

But maybe you’ll be happy to donate 10$/months so your only source of fun content doesn’t die.

They’re making it unusable. YT is literally starting a massive war on users with AdBlock. And oh boy was lemmy angry.

I was there. And it stood on the shoulders of volunteers. And we collectively gathered money so our favorite imageboard could pay for hosting. And we discussed how unethical it was to block ads, cuz the imageboard needs to pay for hosting. So either donate or click on the ads, ane make sure the revenue flows. (Remember the tiny text “please click on the ads, it supports the site”?)

We offloaded imagehosting to shady weird websites with virus autodownloaders, where you absolutely had to block JS just so you don’t get pwned. And so some suckers would eventually get pwned, have their screen locked, pay ransom, and finance our collective love for zipgifs.

I was there, Gandalf, I was there 20 years ago. YouTube and Tumblr were the holy saviors.

So, is OP donating to lemmy? Or self-hosting some content?

Or only leeching while explaining to everyone that this is how communism is supposed to work?

Until you self-host funny cat videos, OP, you’re just a leech. Maybe like a poor kid or something.

Where do you get this attitude that everything should be provided to you for free and you’re entitled to it?
