I created !camera_collecting@lemm.ee as a replacement. So far it’s just me posting.

I had no interest in this movie either way, but now I want to see if its even remotely as bad as people are claiming it is.

At this point there is a pretty solid list of reasons to avoid Brave and use another FOSS privacy focused option.

Personally, everything I’ve read about Brave makes me trust them even less than Microsoft, and Google.

Thats fair. I haven’t really noticed any of those issues. For my use case of just organizing and streaming my desktop’s media library to my TV, its fantastic.

The most infuriating thing about Plex for me was when they shifted to force you to start with their BS streaming service at open. I only used Plex for my personal media collection. So having to jump through a bunch of menus to get to the only thing I want to use in their app was the biggest reason to switch for me. Maybe there is a way to fix that, but I could never find one.

Jellyfin just does your personal media library and opens right up into it when the app starts. Its simpler, faster, and FOSS.

Jellyfin is so much better anyway. I used plex for years and it has steadily enshitified.

Just wait till the “AI” bubble bursts.

I can’t be the only one who feels like this is the absolute lowest priority of dumb shit to resist the regime over. It’s just filler. Another thing he is doing to flood the zone. But one that really doesn’t hurt anything. It’s a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.

I pay for YT premium and use unlock origin + privacy badger and don’t see any ads on YT.

It’s the 6th grade. The girls are taken to the gym for a presentation about menstruation. Us boys are put in a room with this cart to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Does anyone else have issues loading articles on linuxiac? Every time I open a link to an article there CPU usage spikes like crazy, firefox bogs down, and gives me a wait or kill page dialog.

Agreed. Automotive repair is a big exception to my video tutorial hatred. It just makes more sense as it’s something being worked on in 3 dimensions. It would probably work well for home improvement stuff as well.

I watch a ton of YouTube. I love it for entertainment and some news. I absolutely hate YouTube for tutorials or guides though. If I’m trying to figure out how to fix a computer issue, I just want to read about it and have screenshots I can look at. I don’t want to have to constantly pause a damn video or scroll back and forth to find info.

As far as tiktok style videos go I just hate everything about them. I hate the auto play, I hate the vertical aspect ratio, I hate the stupid auto voiceovers, I hate the dumb floating captions and comments overlay, I hate the lack of volume adjustment or the ability to pause and rewind or seek. I hate the types of brainrot content that people make to work the algorithm. I hate that the format has infested YouTube and IG with no real way to be rid of it.

My problem with tiktok/reels/shorts is not that they aren’t federated. It’s the entire format/concept I hate.

You nailed my experience. Though AIM was preferred. I begrudgingly used MSN too for a couple people who weren’t allowed to install AIM.

I don’t mind simple static ads on websites as a way to keep them free to use. The reason I use an ad blocker is because websites use ads that flash, play video/audio, and dynamically resize causing the text you are trying to read to jump around and change, making the site unusable. Even with an adblocker, sometimes the only way to use those sites is with reader mode. I disable the adblocker on sites that display reasonable, mostly static advertising. People putting in the work to make the content deserve to eat.
