If you ending up needing a mail client like Thunderbird, consider Betterbird. It’s just a more-polished version of Thunderbird.

Ich spreche sehr bisschen und nicht sehr gut.

Rammstein singt nicht über die Bibliothek.

2,337 days in on learning German. My goal is to understand all of the band Rammstein’s library of work without needing a translator.

No, space daddy told me via ancient text that’s been translated multiple times that there’s nothing waiting on the other side.

and supposedly the afterlife

I’ve got some bad news for you.

I’ve only bought two new cars but don’t consider the depreciation a scam, it’s something everyone knows is going to happen going into it so although I feel I made a bad choice doing it, I don’t blame the dealership. The high-pressure bullshit is also to be expected, sadly.

Used, OTOH, is an absolute scam. On trade-in, they make number adjustments to get the used car basically free and on the sale-end, they dress it up, tell the buyer that it’s been through a 5,000 point quality check and sell you whatever got bought at auction or traded in. They get even scammier if you finance through them. I’ve seen 16% interest rate for a buyer with an 800+ credit score.

The whole thing is predatory in nature.

It’s no more or less a news aggregator than Facebook. You may find something relating to news on lemmy but you’re just as likely to find a drawing of a couple furries fisting each other.

I consider the site an online community where anyone can participate in or create a category to discuss anything under the sun.

Just so I’m clear I also think Reddit is garbage at keeping out the bad apples, and the community moderators on Reddit tend to be free speech absolutists too, but at least on Reddit there is more actual human content.

You could have saved a lot of writing by just replacing everything with “it’s not busy enough for me.” I guess you just needed to complain about the other stuff that you admit also exists at the place you’re going back to but are ok with when it’s at that site.

I guess if the males you’re fucking aren’t altar boys, it’s frowned upon.

I’m offering anyone using the service a chance to fuck right off.

This already happens, no AI necessary.

The negatives of a social site combined with the negatives of an unpopular social site.

Thank you for the clarification. Does having it open source and the source code being auditable help mitigate that risk at all or is there something that can still put you at risk of having your information misused from pages loaded with the extension installed?

I think the question should be “Why is lemmy like the rest of the internet?”

Lemmy is no better or worse than any other social site on the web. You will find communities that are at either extreme end of trans acceptance and you’ll find middle-ground. If you are not in a walled-garden community, you are going to get the very vocal of both ends of the spectrum. That is the same as anywhere else on the internet.

The people that aren’t either enraged or extremely aligned with your post are likely not going to take the time to comment. You get the leftovers and often, those people are not people that represent the average Joe or Jane.

I think it’s good that you share your thoughts and experience but I wouldn’t spend too much time worrying about those that make it their duty to make light of it or discount it.

Can someone use their words to explain the distaste for the addon that the downvotes on this and crossposted communities seem to represent? Is there something bad about the extension?

This is not new. Over 20 years ago, Marines with chronic razor bumps would have to head to the medic to get a waiver for inspections. A couple of them had such a bad case, their waver would allow them to keep a very tightly trimmed beard for their entire time.

In answer to your question, if I’m understanding it correctly, you are still being tracked as long as you use the web. Meta has profiles for people that have never logged into facebook, used their site in a browser or used an app they control.

The profile might not have a name attached but Facebook provides a ton of websites with FB-related statistics, social widgets and more. Each of those services place FB code on the page that phones home with unique visitor information. That gets compiled into profiles that they can eventually tie to an identity when more information is compiled (as an example, your highschool friend from 15 years ago installs a Meta app like instagram and clicks ok on allowing it to dig through their contacts).

Apps and extensions like Privacy Badger, uBlockO and Ghostery help with the tracking code but I’ve no doubt that Meta spends a lot of time finding workarounds for the blocks.
