Even their "correct" functionality is sketchy AF, the average user would still have no idea what that URL tag meant and thus would not be making the informed choice the article implies they would be making

That makes a lot of sense -- when I'm buying something online I like the excitement of not knowing whether a product will cost 20 or 20,000 "dollars" based on how the scam market is doing that day lol

Agreed, the top suggestion here is a community I've been subscribed to from day 1 and it's always felt dead. Lemmy is good for specific tech niches but outside of that it feels like the same generic meme stream that /r/all is. Also a red flag that nearly all of the communities listed here are attempts to recreate a reddit niche 1:1 which obviously was never going to work as long as the main reddit version is still around

Unfortunately I don't think recommending dead communities with 9 MAUs and 1 post/month is the solution to building up Lemmy's userbase but I respect the attempt

It's a joke

Agreed, regardless of what this is there's a 100% chance that it's a profit scheme and has nothing to do with building anything practical for anyone

It's a reference to Steve Jobs

No I swear I just have an account there for all the SFW stuff!!!

The irony of this comment is you can find the cooking show but not Westworld on HBO lol

This article is literally the first time I've heard that he's running as a Democrat and not a Republican lol

idk about OP but I use chrome because in Firefox I have to manually download my web history and send it to Google so they can log it for my security, Chrome streamlines this process and ensures Google has my data even if I mistakenly wonder onto a website they don't have trackers on

sweet has POS been reclaimed?

It's worth noting that also according to that article women attempt suicide 1.3x as often as men -- but men are more likely to use guns so they end up dying more. It seems to me guns are a core part of the issue

Science x Capitalism

Y'all better calibrate your AI radars quick if this one is fooling you lol

I'd say there's at least a 90% chance that this was addressed in some background gag in Bojack Horseman lol

I don't think they're saying that method would yield 100% clean data but it would give you all the "necessary" data with the absolute bare minimum storage requirement. At some point people will log into their email and for most people if you have their email password you have the password they use for everything

I'm not a power user but it's way better than Plex imo. The personal media management features are on par with plex without all the bullshit ads / FAST services being shoved down your throat. To me it feels like Plex got too popular and the owners realized that a) they could make a shitload of money off of their existing userbase and b) the more they gear the app around FAST crap the more they can act like it's used for legitimate reasons and not just piracy

Execs are no doubt panicking because the infinite growth they've promised as a result of their 2020 finances is starting to look unlikely and they need excuses to cut down on employees
