  • As Chromium monopolizes the market they're able to push anti-user updates because sites don't care. It's down to Firefox or Chromium-based browsers. Firefox is basically the only thing that's kept Chrome from straight up removing adblocking capability and the like.

  • The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices
  • idk if it has other capabilities, but to use on android basically just install it from the play store then install a bunch of community plugins for various sites. torrient io scrapes most public trackers

    can cast to TVs too if your phone/tv has the capability

    What's the deal with Hexbear?
  • let's talk about the current genocide the CCP is carrying out.

  • Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?
  • by now i'm almost fully switched off of directly using google products other than an android phone (pinephone was unfortunately not usable when I tried it) and google maps (when i'm delivery driving i just need it to work smoothly, don't have time to troubleshoot like i would with other software)

    it's been a few years since i did a foss deep dive so i imagine pinephone and/or osm have made progress.

    edit: also invidious instances kept breaking so i finally just went back to regular youtube in browser. newpipe on mobile

  • How many of you are actually chatbots?
  • I think it's very likely that profit-driven social media sites use fake accounts to boost their stats to advertisers and the like. Throw in corporations using fake accounts to sell shit as well as govt agencies using fake accounts to push their narratives, and the mainstream internet seems like a much more lonely place.

  • How many of you are actually chatbots?
  • in all seriousness it's a lot easier to tell on most lemmy instances than reddit because the content hasn't devolved into formulaic circlejerks. ai language modeling is good at mimicking speech patterns, but can't come up with novel and accurate ideas in the way that people can.
