I mean, it sounds like they’re copying Microsoft’s “everything is an Xbox” lunacy, but its unclear if that’s reality based on what I read there.
But I’d not be surprised if the “Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man” meme applies to this, given how focussed the VP of each company’s console division is on their main competitor.
But who knows… Perhaps not even them? 🤷♂️
Not sure it is the same kind of thing, but I’ve been using Homebank ever since the various personal financial management applications pulled out of the UK market.
I swear “How to disable AI in x…” is all our lives now. 😬
Prompted by this, TIL that !chargeyourphone@piefed.social exists. 😄
By “that shit”, do you mean every website/app that may contain age-restricted (not just sexual) content? Because that’s what comes into force in the UK next week.
I’ve been dreading this for decades. 🤬
It’s not just Reddit, nor are they the first to roll it out early.
Doesn’t every Instagram user automatically have a Threads account now? (Even if they’re unaware of it.)
Meta faking Threads user count that way on top of what’s happened with X user count would explain this “milestone” quite easily.
If it eventually gets outed as being Ponzi scheme, I’ll not be remotely surprised.
Classic Reg. They style their headlines on Daily Fail language, meant to be a bit hyperbolic and/or tongue in cheek - which worked in the era of lad’s magazines - but really doesn’t now.
Good article, tough.
Found this to be an interesting read, and well written. Thanks for sharing it.
GitHub is often used as a code mirror, with the actual repo and builds being hosted elsewhere.
Shelter, as in the work profile app? It shows up on Droid-ify for me, and a check of the Links section confirms it’s hosted on a different repo (gitea.angry.im).
Thanks for checking and the update.
Oh no… anyone know what this means for DuckDuckGo?
+1 for this. I’ve been using it for years. Handles downloads and uploads nicely.
Le petit mort , ahem, comes in many forms…
What?! Think of the shareholder value! /s
My take on ads is this: I’ve been using the internet since 1989 - before search engines, advertising, SLIP/PPP/ADSL, etc.
When ads began to appear on websites in the late 90s, I was OK with it. A banner ad here, etc. Then they started to move. And flash. And make noise. And then popups, and pop-unders.
At that point I started to BLOCK THEM ALL. If your business model is a game of distraction from the site I’m visiting, then fuck you, your family, and anyone you’ve ever met.
Moving on to UI web-based stuff, the demise of excellent sites like AltaVista (with its superior search syntax) and the growth of Goooooooogle (with its astonishingly and intentionally shit search syntax), the progress and intention was obvious.
There was a brief period where Google, etc, provided what people wanted. But that time has passed. Now it’s all in on GIGO: garbage in, garbage out.
tl;dr: Once advertisers started to behave like gambling sites, they were yeeted to the hell in which they belong.
Odd, it must be the Docker image I’m using, then. Thanks for clarifying.
I run AdGuard Home, WireGuard and a couple of other things on my 4B, all in Docker.
I used to run HomeAssistant on our for a while, but they stopped supporting that architecture (armhf?). Also used to run Unbound on it.
Inevitable, really. And zero surprise it’s coming out of China.
Are you linking “everything is an Xbox” with growing their platform? Are you new at internet arguments?
