I've only moved back to Firefox because what Google is currently doing with Chrome/Chromium is terrible and harmful.

I will say, Firefox is sluggish and shit, but I refuse to allow Google to fuck over the internet.

I never said they should HAVE to watch porn. I said they should be ALLOWED.

Your comment just goes to show further how Americans view sex as bad lmao.

Nothing wrong with porn. Not my fault Americans think that porn is real. Bet you also think horror movies are real, too, eh? All those innocent people killed!

You do realize that amateur porn exists, right? Where people film themselves with their iPhone. None of the production shit.

YouTube sucks, but I don't want them to die. The insane amount of educational videos on there would be lost. I can pull up a video on how to repair a certain electronic, uploaded 14 years ago, where the uploader is MIA, but it still helped me fix my issue.

Not to mention any other service that tries to replicate YouTube will 100% have crazier monetization, with potential forced subscription. YouTube was built up slowly. Any new service will have to launch knowing potential billions of users will sign up and upload day 1. How do you even prepare for that? I mean shit, when new games launch, like Call of Duty, every fucking year the servers are flaky for a week+. They never learn.

I would, but my mobile app doesn't allow me to block them at account level, and instead only app level.

I get a TON of hate community/instances; foreign community/instances that aren't in my language or anywhere near my country; and then the same community spread out across 20 instances, so I have to subscribe to all of them (as neither of them are super active), and then deal with the massive amount of duplicate posting.

I'm here, but barely. I've not went back to Reddit (got IP banned during the migration), but Lemmy is too focused on certain topics for me to enjoy it.

Mainly FOSS and Linux community FLOCKED to Lemmy. You really can't say anything about anything without people coming out of the woods screaming about how stupid you are, how FOSS is better, and Linux is superior.

Remember the backlash over Sync for Lemmy? Massive hate from the Lemmy community because it wasn't FOSS. Wouldn't be shocked if the Boost for Lemmy dev stopped developing his app after seeing that. I feel like Lemmy is shooting itself in the foot and pushing people away.

EDIT: case in point. https://lemmy.ca/comment/3131292

10 year olds should be allowed to watch porn. If you're seeking it out, it's fine (as opposed to people showing you). That's how you learn about your body.

Only America has a weird obsession over sex = bad. In Europe, they have shows dedicated to dating based on if you like their genitals.

Yes, they announced it at Google IO. They also added the ability for your phone to automatically notify you if an air tag is following you.

Here's one of the many products that you can buy, that automatically work with the new Android tracker system.

Did you read the article?

Ya, Android does this, but tell me how I get my phone to auto sync to my PC to display messages, photos, etc, and then detect when I take a screenshot, so windows can immediately offer to edit the screenshot?

Currently the only way to do it is to transfer your screenshot to your PC manually, then open it, edit it, and then do whatever you wanted with the screenshot on your PC. A million more steps.

Android literally came out with a universal air tag system. Works the same as air tags, but you can go with any brand you want.

Plus the fact there's more Android devices out there, it's more useful.

And they backported the tracking feature in Google services, so old devices that don't get updates anymore will be able to use the new system.

Wish it was. The Linux community shitting on Windows is worse.

I can't remember the button combo, but there's a way to use the power and volume buttons to switch between silent and back. I used to hit it all the time by accident.
