It’s a company who makes them and their partners lots of money, any company you see pushing HP products is just as shady as them. They’ve been riding their brand recognition for at least a decade.
Then right before their EOL’s they push all their old stock for pennies and suddenly everyone has a HP product and they don’t complain for the most part cause they got them dirt cheap.
I never thought that either. It’s a joke, relax.

I’m not judging anyone for not knowing the risks of algorithmic news, and I get how we got there. Journalism as a whole changed by it, so many news articles are engagement bait now. It’s becoming so hard to find uplifting news, that’s why I liked reddit and now lemmy too. People make a genuine effort to find uplifting news.
Diversification has always been the answer, proven by a second uprising of RSS.
I’m so incredibly proud of my government for using SolidPods to store citizen data. Something our northern neighbours should’ve done too apparently. That’s a scary article.
GDPR should prevent any tomfoolery, but if I was dutch I’d be pretty scared atm.
I’d add that Social Media kind of took over this role for most regular users
I agree, and that fact scares me tbh. But that’s more of a privacy concern with social media and less an adventage of RSS. Some RSS feeds do require you to click through for the full article, having another opportunity for tracking.
I’ve asked some DJ’s what radio they listen too and NTS has been unanimously answered. Very good variety, playlist for any mood and discovery is great as well.
I always wonder if the deepfry is artificial or by natural causes, its like modern day hieroglyphs
Must’ve missed it, damn that’s pretty cool thanks!
Trying to access blocked content is still a major red flag, and there’s over 500 instances on lemmy atm. I wouldn’t risk it.
Mine is setup like that as well, but IIRC it’s only for thumbnails. When you open an image, it’s requested from the original server.
Browser pre-loading does DNS requests and sometimes even loads the full page in advance without even clicking a link, for faster load times. So it all depends on your app/browser/instance combo.
Be careful browsing federated social media on work internet. You don’t know where requests will be made, I’ve seen a post of someone getting in trouble because lemmynsfw was pre-loaded by their browser.

RSS feeds are a way to aggregate articles from many websites all in one feed. There’s no inherite privacy advantages. The main advantage is you can group many RSS feeds into your preferred categories and see a list of all the articles of your interests, without having to visit each website separately.
You can start here, a currated list of many feeds. I use Feeder on android and FreshRSS as a self-hosted curration tool but also to connect RSS feeds to services of mine.
Mine is using about 100GB atm, ran it on a 40GB to start but the data management was a bit much. Good luck though!
I’ve been using OVH without issues. How big is your drive space though? Lemmy uses quite a bit. Federation can take some time too.
cowsay is still my favourite package
I tried, but I like information density and the new UI is a horrible waste of space. I get why people like it and it’s way more modern, I’m saying loads of people who used reddit from the start will probably never get used to the new UI, mostly because of the customizability and open API.
Reddit didn’t have apps in the beginning, so we made them over the years perfecting the UI. I settled on baconreader with a compact view, but it and so many others died when the API was purged. I patched my app and can still use it to this day, but I don’t because fuck them.
Same, my mouth dropped reading the article.
Obligatory fuck spez
Don’t be so cynical, and the value you put on tradition is an entirely personal thing. Valentines day has been celebrated for hundreds of years as well so it’s by definition a tradition.
We spread out days throughout the year to put emphasis on the people who are dear to us, ofcourse we should show them every single day, but it’s not a bad thing to highlight a day of the year.
And since you’ve decided it’s only about consumerism, let me give you a few ways to go above and beyond for you partner without having to resort to consumerism:
The amount of value placed in a day like today depends on relationship, but saying it’s only about consumerism is such a big cop-out.
Amazing, thank you for sharing. Although since Macklemore didn’t censor anything, uncensor that title.
