Yes, you’re punished for saving while those spend all they earned are rewarded. It’s a messed up system.

Microsoft is shoving Teams down everyone’s throats harder than, I don’t know what. Teams is just awful, it’s slow, clunky, and a piece of shit that nobody asked for.

You did see the numbers? I mean, what else do you need?

I pay for mobile bandwidth, it shouldn’t matter to the carrier how I use it.

It would be the same as your ISP charging you extra for going to YouTube website.

Yeah, Amcrest NVR software sucks. Reliable cameras though.

Reolink or Amcrest or any other Ethernet hardwired ones with NVR that you can host in your house. No WiFi and no third-party/cloud storage ones like Ring or Nest.

Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?

TIL if you’re against pointless wars you’re a “right wing loser”. I thought liberals were for peace.

I don’t need a social network in a village, I’ll just step out of my house and yell.

I never buy any appliances with WiFi or any IoT shit, I draw a hard line there. That shit is cancer.

Touche. Not dictating anything, just pointing out the obvious that when you sign up at an instance, the admin still has full control.

Which is why we shouldn’t get instances grow too large as then we have the same issue as any centralized platform.

It would be great if that was the way it worked, unfortunately right now it’s granular to the instance level, not user level. Not sure it’s even possible to get it down to user level unless every user runs their own instance which is unlikely to ever happen. The data has to live somewhere, so we need instances or instance -equivalent to host the data. Maybe if they get it down to where hosting your own instance is super easy one-click ordeal. Then each user would be truly in control.

You’re in no position dictate what an instance should or should not do. If you don’t like what an instance is doing, you’re welcome to join another one or start your own, that’s the beauty of decentralization.

Yeah, it’s great to know we’ll die off!

I agree

Which is ridiculous, the widescreen TV is the ultimate spot where vertical videos have no place.

Correct, as long as the instance your account is in federated with all other instances you’re subscribed to, you don’t have to switch accounts.

Now, defederation is another issue if you want to see the widest possible amount of content. What’s going to happen is ideologically opposed instances are going to defederate each other, so left-wing instances are going to defederate right-wing ones and vice versa. So if you’re a user who wants to see the content from both sides, you’ll have to create multiple accounts in each “cluster” of federated instances. It’s kind of annoying to be honest, it makes it hard to discover communities just because your instance admin decided to defederate from them and encourages echo chambers, but it it’s the best we’ve got.
