@nave @Cheesus

probably because the relay is running off a mac or mac vm.

That's too bad, that is the main thing I feel kbin could use is a good app. The web app seems a bit hit or miss.

@lemmy.world While their costs have increased dramatically, wages have overall not kept up. Food or game, people will pick food. As a side pet peeve, how about more companies actually release a non broken day 1 game that doesn't need a zillion patches to be playable first?

I have zero interest in going back beyond possible a big meeting type thing or something. Open office plans are one of my personal hellscapes. I can't hardly focus on what I'm doing for all the movement and noise. I do get it for certain types of jobs but I'm a dev and can collab online with less distractions and get my stuff done. My stress level is less and my boss is still happy.

@realcaseyrollins And we are free to say no thanks and leave.

@fne8w2ah. When I was a kid, toys, whatnots, etc could be taken by the teacher to be returned when they saw fit or off to the office and whenever the principal decided. I'd assume the same rules would apply to a smartphone.

@fne8w2ah

Very true, but then leave it in a bag/locker.

@joe reminds me of the YouTube Pitch Meeting guy. "Super easy, barely an inconvenience"

@HeidiBriones @jimmydoreisalefty

seriously though who wants one app connected to everything with an untrustworthy owner and in the age of a cyberattack every 5 minutes on the news?

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@Kovu. Your average person will go oooh Instagram, I know them. Sign me up for the new app! Privacy, security, etc never even were involved. Of course that also assumes Meta didn't just "create" one for each IG user (no clue what the usercount is).

@holo_nexus as of 5 minutes ago it still prompts login and canceling takes you to the login page. Clicked an article link and got shot over there so I looked. maybe it's being rolled out in stages. But screw them only person I still liked to keep up with over there was Mark Hamill.

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@holo_nexus very true

@Arotrios Why would I want an inferior version of mastadon? But seriously I will likely only end up with one if they auto generate it. (a few family use ig and fb as their only communication so it's checked occasionally via web with adblockers etc....ugh).

@trashhalo As a few minutes ago my setup rss feeds to local news (so far they haven't migrated) still work. I mean if you click the link in the tweet to say abc news or wherever it works and you get the tweet blurb. Clicking on the tweet does take you to twitter and it's new login wall. I'm guessing this will be toast once someone realizes it.

ppb1701, 10 months ago

Update: rss hasn’t worked all day. I’m wondering if it relied on the older tweetdeck that was “broken” or the limits got it or we’ll musky nuked the access account/key. Not that at matters…toast now

@techviator The race is on....who will crash and burn first.

@L4s

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@worfamerryman well imo the problem (though ads like that are ridiculous) is they want to ad supported primarily....then don't cram more ads than an equivalent tv show. That's a big driving reason for folks to go looking on how to block them.

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@Johnpwrinkle Well worth it. It can handle quite a bit locally, and can stream from steam on your main pc (or be set up to several cloud services).

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@Zuberi. Beyond the DDOS attack there other day I've only seen a bit of lag once or twice, no disconnects. Maybe I'm playing at less busy times. I do wish it had an offline mode but so far it's not caused much trouble for me. As for why....I had been talking about it coming up with some friends and my wife asked what I was talking about. A few days later she surprised me with it as a gift.

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@L4s. It's threatening their wallet. Who wants to buy ads if ads are disabled or all the discussion you were targeting is suddenly free for all/john oliver? Who will keep a subscription if their frequented subreddits are effectively useless because of protesting (assuming they aren't supporting the protests, etc).

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@HandBanana. A) secure your home network and smart tv's connect capabilities. B) wait till you hear what they can do with smartphones or even better web browsers.... <sarcasm>

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@LemmyStartNow I loaded violentmonkey edge addon and copy pasted the script in the add (teddit version) and it works. There is a bit a delay as it redirects. But I'll take the delay over using "dead"it. now just to figure how to automate it from ios safari....

@LollerCorleone

ppb1701, 10 months ago

Side note: I added UserScipt extension on Safari on my Mac and IOS and copied the script in on it's editer and it works there too. iOS does have a slight delay at the moment before it goes landing on what looks like a Reddit error page. I'm thinking it's where it is attempting to hit the script as it first loads to promote their app. Still works so woot!

@LollerCorleone @LemmyStartNow

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@LollerCorleone I hope so too. I don't wanna lose the wealth of knowledge and tips but I also don't want to give Reddit themselves the time of day.

@LemmyStartNow

ppb1701, 10 months ago

@LollerCorleone will do thanks! Updated them in my browsers. Will let you know.

@LemmyStartNow
Used it multiple times in laptop and iPhone and it works great. Thank!
