thecoolowl,

I feel it’s worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.

thecoolowl,

Doesn’t make them less clever.

thecoolowl,

I use YouTube the most of all streaming services. Yet I don’t understand why there isn’t an affordable easy to use option, that includes no ads and a high CPM for creators.

My understanding is YouTube premium, doesn’t highten the payout to creators, but rather just substitutes the dirt poor ad revenue per impression.

thecoolowl,

You gotta admit, it’s fun to meme the opposite camp. Whether you are a GUI or CLI person.

thecoolowl,

What is it with Lemmy and far-[left | right] politics…

thecoolowl,

I’ve been using NextDNS for a while now. It’s great compared to VPN implementations like Blokada because it frees up your phone to use an actual VPN.

I’ve found PDNSQS for when I need to temporarily disable ad blocking, a really nice addition.

thecoolowl,

They gathered as much data they could on dislikes before it was removed, so it also shows actual numbers on older videos.

thecoolowl,

Things break in weird ways on Linux due to dependencies. Snap/Flatpak/AppImage has yet to show if it’s enough to fix the issue.

thecoolowl,

Where I’m from, it’s legal to download cracked games so long as you’ve bought it legitimately. Paying for games isn’t a problem, it’s treating everyone as suspects that bugs me.

Setting up selfhosting without a terminal

Every single time I talk to my friends, whom also want an *arr/Plex/VPN/Home Assistant setup like I’ve got, I can see the fear in their eyes when I mention Debian, Docker, and the terminal. It could be a case of “git gud”, but I want to help them out with a setup like this, but with as low friction as possible. Ideally...

thecoolowl,

It’s also part of what I want to avoid with something GUI-based/low maintenance.

thecoolowl,

I've been on Soverin.net for a while.

thecoolowl,

I'll be honest, I chose them because they're a private European email host. Their web UI is pretty rudimentary, but I use other email apps anyway.

thecoolowl,

Agreed. Community@instance.com would currently trigger my email client. If Lemmy could intercept those while in-app, that'd be great.
