It got my OS right, but browser wrong. Tested both Librewolf and Vivaldi, which it sees as Firefox and Chrome.

Is it trying to download the install files? That requiring a login makes sense.

The best part about that meme background? It’s from a yugioh card.

And not even one from the actual card game. It’s only appearance was in the anime, once, 17 years ago.

The world will be fine.

Humanity on the other hand…

Kahn Academy is neat. And free. I discovered it back when Brilliant was being shilled everywhere online years ago.

No, this is Patrick!

Those keys are usually gotten via stolen credit cards. It’s much more ethical to just pirate the thing.

Running scripts from a random comment is risky if you don’t know how to check if the script is safe (and someone asking how to activate windows definitely doesn’t). Better to just link the massgravel Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS), as the top comment did.

They’re probably talking about Geiru Toneido, a clown girl from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice.

shrug Part of doing what they want is moderating how they want.

That’s the beauty of federation - if you disagree with an how instance’s admins do things, you can just use a different one and block their communities. Though we’re still missing the option to block an entire instance rather than just specific communities, hoping that feature gets added soon.

Mine now has a “2” on lemmy.world due to blocking cloudflareinsights. The cost of DDOS protection I suppose.

Those were advantages, not drawbacks.

You’re using an apple product, you didn’t have any privacy in the first place. Browser choice isn’t going to change that either way.

dealing with ads

Just use an adblocker. It’s basic internet safety at this point. I recommend ublock origin. If you’re on mobile, android’s version of firefox can use it as well.

That #1 is close to my own reason - a few small communities I’m part of, with very little fediverse activity.

Always using an adblocker of course, having one is basic internet safety, and it reducing reddit’s profits is a nice bonus.

I’ve also got 300, no clue what to do with it. Maybe give out 3 random silvers? Not that it does anything.

If “socialism” means holding companies accountable for their actions instead of letting them do whatever they want, sign me the fuck up.

Problem is, you don’t become a billionaire without massive amounts of exploiting people for profit, and someone like that isn’t going to support Lemmy since there’s no profit to be had. There are no left-leaning billionaires, only neo-liberal billionaires.

Not a fan of that argument. Twitter/Threads/Facebook/Reddit/etc are big enough to be considered a public forum, even if they’re being controlled by a private entity rather than a government.
