Morning coffee.

I block communities that routinely show up that I am not interested in seeing and use a monkey script to block instances of no value to me.

No, simply because I don’t “have to” have content. If Lemmy lacks interesting content, I go outside for a while.

Well, I use a fake name and an email used only for Duolingo, so… ok.

I remember as a kid, seeing a commercial for a credit card where the clown of the ad tried to use cash, inconveniencing the mob behind him and it really stuck with me how unapologetic credit companies were when training their consumers and debt carriers.

Oh no, not 100k. How will they ever scrape up that kind of money?

Perhaps you require more ragebait?

If so, you’re stupid, your thought is stupid and your choice in underwear is stupid.

What did Gizmodo think might happen instead? That everyone, including those that were never impacted by 3rd party app changes, would just abandon the site, leaving it without users? “Peak journalism”.

I use both Windows and linux daily. I don’t have an issue with either.

It really depends on where you live. For instance, in Western NC, I was completely left to my own devices on the trail systems. local IMBA group asked that I just keep track of my hours so they could add to the volunteer sheet that they turned into the forestry service. I was given the ok to take anything out I wanted; chainsaws, mowers, weedeaters, sickles, etc. In my new area, it’s more structured so I joined a FB group for the local club and asked them if I could do maintenance on the trail closest to me. They gave me the go-ahead so I go out to that trail when I want to do work.

I always try to find the most unused trail in the area to work on as I prefer the solitude when being out in the woods.

I don’t know, it looks like it would make for some good toilet paper.

Trail maintenance. I spent over a decade doing work on neglected trails in western NC. Hours upon hours of hiking, weed eating, sawing, taking, etc. It was more exercise than biking the same trails.

I’m struggling with the loss of the mountain biking I’ve loved for a long time. I’m trying various changes out to keep some biking in my life. I’m biking more slowly and for diminished distances. Also my wife bought me an emtb that I’ve been trying out on the trails. Less fatigue means I’m .asking less mistakes while out.

I hope you find an outlet you enjoy. The loss is truly life altering.

That would explain why Lemmy displayed it on the front page of my hot feed.

This isn’t news. This has been Brave’s business model from the beginning.

People fork what’s what they’re using and what’s popular. Chromium has the vast majority of the market share so it’s most likely to get modified and reused.

but it definitely isn’t a way to consume content you actually want.

No, it’s not the way you want. Barring a single instance, it’s literally the way I want to consume the content.

People crossposting to the comical number of same-but-mines-different-communities can shit up a feed pretty quick. I’d suggest cutting down on a few of your tech groups and see how it works for you then.

What’s Twitter? Do you mean X?

UG has gotten terrible in their funding funnel. It’s pretty much just a straight drop into a wallet squeeze at this point.

He may not look like much now but he’s still got it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poGP4ZkEIGY
