You don’t have to even disable it, just turn off voice commands. You can still activate it by pushing a button. Personally Ive been using Bing chat over Google assistant for a few months now.

Wastewater Operator. We have an older gentleman at my job who refuses to use computers at all. We still do everything with paper and pen. Nothing is digitized.

There’s no data in Central New Jersey where I live

It would be far easier to start a populist movement that reigned in corporations. The problem with revolutions is you never know who’s going to to end up on top at the end. Most likely the new regime will be just as bad as the old. I think what we actually need is more democracy. I like the idea of a democratic referendum that allows the people to force the government into action.

Can I get YouTube AdBlock and can I add custom filter lists?

I had a Nexus 10 they abandoned after two years. Made me never want to spend money on an android tablet again. Honestly I would probably switch to iOS if I could have ad blockers.

Yeah I think iPad’s are clearly better than any android tablet.

Pixels give you 5 years now same as iphone.

Isn’t threads a Twitter clone? Will it even effect Lemmy? For me personally I don’t use Mastodon, but I might if threads is successful. I use Twitter to follow famous people I like. If famous people move to the fediverse because of threads that will only make sites like Mastodon better in my opinion.

Yeah I think In a year or two this will be just as good as Reddit, maybe better. Personally I prefer Lemmy, it reminds me of Reddit before it gained mass appeal. The important thing is now there is a viable alternative to Reddit. Everytime Reddit does something controversial, this site will gain a wave of new users.

I work a union job, most people never leave. Usually the old guys retire in waves though. They’ve all known each other for decades and don’t want to have to train the next generation.

I’ve been using Bing chat allot. I got the extension that lets me use it on Firefox. It’s insanely useful, and I feel like it’s getting better with time as it learns. I still use DuckDuckGo for search though, although I’ve been using search less and less as Bing chat gets better.

Yeah to get a good ratio you basically need to get a seedbox which cost money anyway. Might as well just use Usenet. I have one private tracker I use I found the best thing to do is seed large obscure tvpacks. Also porn.

This was the guide I used. https://blog-harveydelaney-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/blog.harveydelaney.com/configuring-your-usenet-provider-and-indexer-with-sonarr-radarr/amp/?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From %251%24s&aoh=16884082633644&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.harveydelaney.com%2Fconfiguring-your-usenet-provider-and-indexer-with-sonarr-radarr%2F

I don’t think so, Lemmy is just going through growing pains. Those instances are already talking about refederating.

That’s the hard part, getting in. You basically have to beg and jump through hoops to get an invite. I’d rather just pay for Usenet, lol.

I use signal and uBlock, lol.

I gave them some money after I graduated college. I had used them so much it felt right to give back a bit.

I’m entitled to leave to another instance. One of the main things to look at when choosing an instance is who they are federated/defederated with. I would never join BeeHaw Lemmy.world, or Sh.itjust.works because of their feud. I’d rather join a third party instance and have access to all the content on all three.

I use it. I got a Usenet acct and just use torrents as a backup.
