Tubi is way better anyway.

From hacker stock photos to now weird AI generated thumbnails.

Yeah it really actually only takes a couple of big users moving to Mastodon to cause a domino effect of a mass migration. I hope more people with tons of followers start moving over.

Ok the push notification pop up started to piss me off halfway down lol. But yeah, this is a cool demonstration.

Like the “Come to Brazil!” comments on every music video or concert on youtube.

Pot meets kettle.

They’re just not invested in it yet. Once their money is in it, they’ll suddenly say it’s the best thing in the world.

It’s owned by EFF, which AFAIK is still a trusted org. You might be thinking of Adblock Plus or Ghostery.

If you’re on IOS, the Focus feature is great. I use it primarily for sleep to turn off all notifications except for calls (in case of emergencies). But you can basically configure multiple profiles with different notification settings. Also, whenever I install a new app on my phone, I turn notifications off unless it’s a time sensitive app like a messaging app.

I remember in grade school, my school constructed restrooms in every classroom so students won’t need to leave class. The problem was they were literally just a small concrete cubicle and the walls didn’t even go up to the ceiling. That was when I learned pissing straight into the water wasn’t a good idea. I went out to the entire class staring at me.

I love me some bleeding edge stuff, but this is the reason why I avoid beta testing on essential devices like my phone. My linux OS, mobile apps (like for lemmy), and other stuff are fair game.

Mullvad now has DoH configuration profiles with content blockers for IOS. If you actually want to select filters at a granular level, you can try Aha DNS Blitz.

I have around 48k streams on spotify and I’ve earned a whopping $172. Their new payment model would bring that down to essentially $0.

Even concerts barely break even for artists after all expenses. Right now, merch and physical album sales are the best way (other than directly giving money) to support your favorite artists. I don’t buy physical albums because they just become clutter at home, so I make it a point to buy merch when I go to a concert.

I was talking about tutanota.com users. Like I said in my first sentence, I already use tuta.io so this doesn’t really affect me. Tuta may be a new domain now, but it’s what they will be known as moving forward. So yourname@tuta.com will look more legit than yourname@tutanota.com eventually when the tutanota brand is deprecated completely. I’m also not talking about machine validation, I’m talking about human validation, just as someone would be suspicious of a gmail address in a few months/years if google changed their email domain to something else today. Hell, I have a live.com email and people ask me to repeat it when I give it out because they haven’t heard of it before, not knowing it’s actually a microsoft domain that was popular in the early 2010s.

I’ve been using tuta.io ever since I created an account with them so the change to tuta isn’t entirely new to me. Having said that, it is indeed infuriating that they do not give you the tuta.com email for free automatically, because then anyone who signs up with youremail@tuta.com essentially has a more legit email address than yours. Protonmail gave out the proton.me domain to all users for free, even to free tier users. Hopefully this generates enough noise for them to change this.

Thank you! While I appreciate the bot helping get content into lemmy, I do agree with the consensus that reddit posts that are meant to have comments read by the OP are unnecessary.

I don’t know how the karma thresholds work behind the scenes, but might I suggest for the bot to do a “top for” sort instead? Like it will only repost top content for the past 6 hours only. This will also help get more quality content as well and avoid reposting low effort/quality posts.

I don’t want the bot to be banned altogether as I do believe it still provides value with the content reposts to get engagement in lemmy. Thanks for implementing these adjustments.

An android based device does makes sense. Thanks! I’ll look into getting a chromecast.

So my wife uses some niche TV apps like weverse, which is available on Samsung TVs. Which of the media players (chromecast, appletv, roku, firestick etc.) have the most number of apps covered?

Oh I legitimately didn’t know that! Thanks! I guess I just never came across one that could.
