I read it too fast that I thought TorrentFreak was down. 😅

Your voice kinda reminds me of this youtuber which I’ve been subscribed to since old times.

I used a seedbox some time ago to download a specific big torrent (at the time). I payed using Paypal, as I don’t consider seedboxes a low-hanging-fruit for rightsholders to persecute at the moment.

There’s too much redundant data on these services, so if they takedown one user’s data, there’s still lots of the same torrented data on other user’s. I don’t think rightsholders are willing to play wack-a-mole for such infractions.

They’d rather invest their resources on more centralized file sharing, such as big public torrent sites and cyberlockers.

I wonder if emulating the Switch version makes it more accesible to most players.

They should put the gift card through a scanner and send the image. If it’s that easy, charging for it is asshole-ish for sure.

How will this migration actually work? The comments transfer over?

Some banking apps are asking for live-selfies for authentication, so it’s not entirely useless.

So the writing’s on the wall: Imgur will sooner or later intensify its enshitification, so it’s not safe relying on it for image/gif uploads for Lemmy…

Hahaha, nice catch! 😅

If Piped is basically a proxy to access YouTube videos, who pays for this proxy (which shouldn’t be cheap)?

I’m out of the loop on this subject. I know Onedrive previously offered 15GB to free users, then strunk it to 5GB, but kept the larger amount to legacy users.

Have they made another reduction recently?

If I may ask, what’s the difference between those two you mentioned and “Active”?

Perhaps these communities you follow from remote instances are not very active, so your subscriptions from lemmy.world (which tend to be larger and more active communities) are obscuring them.

I suggest you change the sorting order to “New”. I found that the default “Active” sorting always shows the same trending topics for days. Reddit also had this lazy refresh cadence with its “Hot” sorting, but to a lesser extent.

If they’re not clear about this, I’d assume the language their sidebar is written on is the official language of the instance.

Lemmy taking over as a protocol would not be a bad thing, because by design it promotes the creation of multiple federated instances. At least the UI woukd be standardized, lowering the user friction in case he needs to migrate.

I’m more motivated to participate when there’s fewer comments. On Reddit I often refrained from commenting when I noticed the other commenters already covered the point I wanted to make.

Is your phone 100% un-Googled?

Didn’t notice anything different. In fact, I can’t change to “All” anymore (coincidence?). That’s why I’m exploring Connect right now.

What about Lemmy instances which don’t have an URL starting with “lemmy”? How will a typical Google user filter results if he’s interested in all Lemmy instances? DuckDuckGo to the rescue? 👽

Maybe, for maximum damage, they should save this mass resignation for when the IPO happens, just to screw Reddit’s admins. In the meantime, the mods should promote Reddit alternatives in the subs. Nothing too explicit, but some links being mentioned in sticky posts/comments should suffice.
