FWIW, I have had some Google (now Nest) Home Hubs for years and I don't think I've ever seen or heard ads on them.

I'm gradually de-googling my life though, so maybe I'll just replace them with some DIY thing

The image processing happens locally in the web browser.

Not to imply that hosting the static assets to power that (JS and WebAssembly binaries) is free, but it's definitely much cheaper than the compute resources that would be required to do the heavy lifting server-side.

(Still worth paying for or allowing ads though. Photopea clearly took a lot of work to build)

Fun fact: You can generate a random UUID in your web browser without needing to visit a website. Just open your browser console and type crypto.randomUUID()

Same! I made some cool custom pogs from magazine cutouts

The Internet would be so much better if everyone were like that. People are so much nicer in person

pogs

Wow, it has been a very long time since I've heard or seen any mention if those

THIS. I don't install social networking apps on my phone (except for Voyager, somewhat recently, if that counts). I tend to find these conversations somewhat hard to follow, because it seems like different people use different versions of the same word... Or maybe the definitions evolve too quickly for those who don't follow it very closely. Idk, I haven't really narrowed it down yet.

But yeah... I honestly don't really know how to identify a fascist. I think it has something to do with right-wing authoritarianism, but I'm not sure I've personally met any right-wing authoritarians, so I'm probably missing something.

And yes, I have attempted to look it up. The results were not very helpful. I assume it's similar to looking up what Nazis were – quite different from how people use the word now.

Thank you for understanding "normal people." 🙈

IMO, that site doesn't really look like it wants to succeed. Seems like the mobile apps are still in development, so maybe the site is intentionally like that, for now.

The most obvious difference: When I open that link, I see no video. If I open tiktok.com, I see a video.

That's just from a cursory look though. I've never heard of them, so I could easily be wrong.

No, but there are monthly updates on their YouTube channel, and they've made great progress!
