Think your commodore 64 is really neato?
what kinda chip you got in there? A dorito?

Every time that lyric gets me. Every word is meticulously chosen. And all of his songs are like that, which is just incredible.

Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

Sad thing is, plenty of people will lap this up as a good thing and see it as a benefit. At least at first, until they realize they have to watch some TV based ads before they watch the ad roll on their YouTube video, followed by the second screen showing some banner ad the whole time. Yick.

Can't argue with that. It's not cheap, but it's fully self hosted and works offline and that's hard to beat.

Unifi has good equipment, works very well with a small self hosed cloud key or dream machine.

Could still get hacked, but the point stands that is an extra level of verification.

Classic Kohl's strategy, not sure if they did it first, but its the first place I saw it used in early 2000s.

This is a tricky problem to solve for sure. I've been battling it for a while myself.

Not a huge surprise there is a large anti-capitalist faction on lemmy, so this isn't terribly surprising.

I'm no meta apologist, they've done enough to warrant skepticism. The reality is they can harvest the data even if you defederate their main instance, by setting up shadow instances or just scraping other instances, so that argument doesn't really hold water for defederation. The bigger one is content vs spam coming from their instances and possible EEE measures, but immediate defederation only serves to keep them siloed off and does not let them function as an offramp to better instances for regular users.

The difference is here you can manage your own feed and pick and choose. Many folks don't want metas apps on their device but wouldn't mind some of the content. Folks that don't want it don't have to sub but those that do can benefit second hand.
