There used to be a trick where you can skip ads in youtube app by pretending to report it. i’ve used that to skip the 2x30s unskippable ads over the years, but that was patched recently.
So instead of occasionally watching ads while scrolling through comments, I’ve now opt to watch youtube in browser with UblockOrigin. And good luck to google for playing catch-22 with adblockers.
Shame that I used to have youtube in my adblock whitelist
In this case its quite simple: the production process is cheap and easy enough anyone with a garage can replicate it in a week, where as flying to Korea takes weeks for visa and plane ticket and appointments scheduling
honestly, why not do what reddit did and restrict US news to a specific sublemmy

Rumor has it that wearing knee-highs and short skirts improve coding efficiency by 50%
Yea, I don’t think the original poster understands why google hurts XMMP, because by that logic once google left XMMP is also let at where it is at before google joined.
The issue with cooperations joining federation is they almost always have better infrastructure, they will siphon users out of the wider network with convenience. Then eventually they will forcibly leave the network with its users, because that makes them more money, at the cost of their user and everyone else on the network as we get less connectivity.
Changing even a single letter will completely scramble your password with hash, so for all intents and purpose it is equivalent to a unique password
Though I do admit it can get a bit tedious, I’ll definitly look into self-hosting, thanks for the recommendation
I don’t use them. I see this as a putting all eggs in one basket strategy, if my master password was lost, hacked, hosting company shutdown, or for whatever reason refuse to do business with me, my entire life would be screwed.
Instead I use long passwords made of words, and for each site it will be a few letters off. They’re easy for humans to remember because how similar they are, but due how hash works they are equivalent to unique passwords to hackers.
Here I’m referring to automatic load distribution. Expecting users to actively choose a good server requires quite a bit of technical knowledge (how servers work) and effort (search and compare), thats probably not something the general public is willing to do
unfortunately, probably not
it has nothing to do with how the coummnities are ran or what technology/apps we have, the issue is that decentralised networks almost always have worse infrastructures compare to centralised ones. lemmy.world is already lagging quite a bit, and eventually the admins will be overwhelmed by the shear number of users.
Unless federation figures out a way to distribute load or monetize for server cost, I dont think it will become mainstream
I’ve been this position plenty of times. Sadly Paradox didn’t allow for beta (which allows users to play older versions)
Not sure if it’s still available, but there used to be a mod called Compatibility Checker. This mod generates a community sourced list of incompatibilities as a text file for your current install. For me its a must, especially consider my mod+asset list is well over 100 pages
For IOS peeps: I’m using Orion browser, which supports some firefox entensions like UblockOrigin that blocks ads. Brave also works.
Downside is they’re missing a good number of features, and changing playback speed messes up the audio
