LostCause

I do use AdGuard on my phone, but it worked for me. Good to know they‘ll be back ty.

Wait, did it die completely? I knew they lost the domain, but did they not change to anywhere else?

Guess time will tell if it would have been smarter to replace the CEO with the chat bot instead.

I went to Reddit for the first time this month to speak up in a relevant thread about it and got a bunch of tone deaf replies about they‘d rather join Threads cause “its popular and you sound like crypto bros with the decentralised stuff” and also some “Lemmy was made by tankies” and so on.

You know what, I don‘t care, don‘t want these short sighted people here, let them get screwed a few more times by the corpos if they enjoy it so much.

I‘m not entirely sure tbh, I don‘t even remember where I originally got this link from, I just think it seems legit due to the updates etc. Maybe the onion link you have is a personal one or maybe they switch mirrors every so often. There is a few copycats around too you can find on Google, but with onion links its even harder to know what‘s up.

In addition to Anna’s Archive, I also use libgen.rs, libgen.is, gen.lib.rus.ec (which I think are all the same site?) as well as zlib (ways to access on: https://go-to-zlibrary.se/#useful_link_tab), I can‘t find more than the core rule book on there though.

It‘s probably going to be the other way around if anything, Spotify eventually doing various moves worsening the experience in an effort for more money. It‘s surprising how long it is holding out (and I‘m still using and enjoying it too), but ever since I learned about Enshittification, I‘m expecting it to worsen eventually.

Spotify, only because they still got everything I need and I don‘t want to bother with building my own music library. If they enshittify the service enough, I‘ll ditch that too though.

Strongly opposed, but instead of writing a way too long comment explaining too little or getting into useless arguments with those pro, I‘m gonna tell you about something which says more and better than I ever could:

“Against Intellectual Monopoly” by Michele Boldrin and David K. Lavine, it can be found to download on Anna‘s Archive, right on the front page too. I think it is part of what inspires this project and others like it.

People I talk to have some excitement about my excitement, but also don‘t get it and are unlikely to change their habits, since they get whatever they seek on the centralised platforms.

I‘m cool though, it‘s like how Reddit used to be way back then, populated mostly some tech enthusiasts and it was nice like that.

I wish I could live in your dream world. I‘m not even kidding, please give me a piece of the propaganda where I can for one second believe that socialism and some benevolent dictator or something is the magic pill to save the climate. It might soothe me. Link something.

Wow yeah the government, judging by your writing style even the US one, which side are they again on? Corporations or people (if they even distinguish)?
Let‘s check: https://www.vox.com/2014/4/18/5624310/martin-gilens-testing-theories-of-american-politics-explained

Or as they put it, “economic elites and organized interest groups play a substantial part in affecting public policy, but the general public has little or no independent influence.”

The only reason they‘d have the fediverse on their radar is banning it in favour for some platform that lobbied them, like say Meta.

Anyway, luckily this is a global and decentralised thing and I for one like not waiting around for a government to think, decide and do anything and everything ever for me. I‘d rather find an instance admin who doesn‘t sell out at the first sign of a dollar.

If that takes me spinning up my own instances to contribute to that and have at least one place which doesn‘t sell out, I guess I will.

I hope people, especially instance owners and devs, listen to this warning.

Agreed, I hope we have more sympathetic and nicer people in charge while we run the world into the ground too!

Since I‘m a woman, I feel like maybe we could let some more women help run the world into the ground too, just a lack of representation there that‘s a bit disappointing.

Totally, none of the more socialist countries have any of these issues whatsoever, completely climate neutral, zero emissions, zero toxic chemicals spills, no overfishing, no deforestation, no paving over everything with more roads and factories.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

Easy to see why. Streaming services went through enshittification just like all the social media.

Well I like it, it‘s fairly simple and that is good for logos.

Well Option 2 is a stinker, easy choice for anyone who isn‘t a spez sockpuppet.

I’m just looking forward to the funny John Oliver edits hitting lemmy and maybe an episode on enshittification of corporate social media.

Ahh I know of it, but too expensive for me. Anyway I am happy to have you and I do hope that such a fashion community can grow here too. Streetwear and fashion advice has inspired me before to try different things.
