I choose death.

Lemmy.world admins are power abusing bullies. If lemmy.ml is defederating for this then they are soon to follow.

What even is “fashion” in this context if not a single person will ever wear it?

Privacy? What is this article talking about. Ads not displaying in no way implies privacy. They will harvest your data as much as it possibly can either way. All you are doing by paying to remove ads is directly funding the ad business model.

In your example would you ever donate money to a developer for software you had never used and have no intentions of ever using?

You might donate to a projects developer because you want them personally to keep on with the project, but that would likely only be ontop of the other reason that you want the software you are using to continue to be developed.

Otherwise it would make more sense to donate to charities.

It sounds like the latency is really important here and not necessarily the bandwidth. That makes sense.

I can already burn through my entire wireless data limit in minutes. What is the point in it being faster without data being cheaper? At least from a users perspective and not someone who owns a telecommunications company.

I recently switched reading modes from “horizontal” page scrolling to infinite vertical scrolling and it made me read so much faster. It’s really quite weird that it affects anything at all.

As for “supporting the dev” I don’t really get this concept. Do you know them personally? Surely the point would be to support development of something you want rather than the people behind it. I’m in favor of supporting software development if it doesn’t violate any of my principles such as being adware.

As far as I can tell ReadEra non-premium doesn’t have any ads. This means the paid version is only about buying extra features rather than removing ads. This is a very respectable business model in a world where almost every other app out there tries to annoy you with ads until you pay them.

I use ReadEra regularly, but I think I’m going to buy the premium version since you brought it to my attention. The syncing feature could come in handy between my phone and tablet.

What about on a Huawei phone? If it wasn’t there to begin with and had to be installed I’d expect it could also be uninstalled. I don’t have a Huawei phone to test it out.

By the traditional definition they are kind of wrong. I don’t agree at all with Googles relentless data harvesting and ads, but the software isn’t going to make copies to hide itself on your phone and make it difficult to remove. You would be able to uninstall it like any other app without it leaving anything behind.

So it is more like adware than a virus.

Is there a way to update from within Cinny?

I’m not convinced we have even begun to scratch the surface in developing AGI. I’m also not convinced it is even possible using conventional computer hardware.

I do remember that. I suppose not enough people would ever use it for things to ever balance out.

I want to see a website that links to whatever is the least viewed Wikipedia article at any given time until all Wikipedia articles basically have the same number of views.

The grift that keeps on grifting.

Neat. Thank you for the info.

Good idea. At least it couldn’t hurt.

Looking at my phone the main apps I’d like to see get this theme treatment is Proton Mail, Libro.fm, ReadEra, MX Player, FX File Explorer, Duo Mobile.

Then I’ll be satisfied that everything matches.

Wow, $80. I haven’t looked into these devices since the first one, but I thought the point of them was to be very cheap. I do wonder what these new more powerful ones are capable of. Perhaps the performance justifies the price.
