I thought the issue was they wanted search engines to be able to see the content, but not non paying viewers? Hence slightly shitty paywalls.

That's a fair point, other than I do need to work at home on occasion!

I'll have a good think about it.

I keep seeing these " time to move to Linux" threads. For my work I have to use super proprietary software which I know for a fact is Windows only. Not only that it's GPU intensive CPU intensive and niche. I'm sure there's a way to run Windows within Linux but I can only imagine the pain in trying to get proprietary shite to work.

On top of that I need specific CAD software, Photoshop and Illustrator. I don't think any of these daily used programs support Linux.

From the outside, Linux just seems like an absolute ball ache to get working with all of the things I currently do without even thinking about it.

I'd love to do it. Not sure it's going to work. Am I wrong?

Just rented a Tesla on holiday. None of it works while driving.

Have to say though I do like the car!

I also can make up statistics.

The concept of f droid is great. The UI and UX absolutely suck.

However it is functional, it is free and isn't run by a limitlessly budgeted mega corp.

I run some windows-only proprietary software. Realistically what's the performance like with Wine or whatever it is that emulates windows?

I run a lot of GPU accelerated CAD

Maybe the journalists that levelled the accusations public ally should contribute?

CGNAT is certainly becoming a real issue. In the UK at least legacy providers have millions of IP addresses in the bank and new disruptive providers do not have access to these except at extremely inflated rates.

When I changed one of these new disruptive providers I was unaware that CGNat would be imposed and all of my security cameras were no longer accessible. Fortunately they did move me off CGNat when I asked but they said it may not be forever.

Like always I don't think this will be dealt with in any speedy capacity, unless we get lucky and some correctly positioned legislator can't do what they want to do with their internet connection. Then it might get expedited.

I watched it with my kids and felt uncomfortable. This sort of video is not the same as elephants toothpaste.

I don't suffer through rober videos so my kids can now worry people want to drop bombs on them at a stadium.

Thanks mark.

This all works until Google cut off API access to a competitor right? Relying partly on a Google API is surely suicidal for a Google Search competitor...

I use Sync and don't pay anything. It's brilliant and the ads are basically invisible and rare.

Literally was the best Reddit app and it is a fantastic port to Lemmy.

You can choose to pay the dev if you want to. I haven't yet, but likely will if I spend more time here.
