As someone who started his tech career in the mid '90s, this kind of hurts to see put into words so well.

While you wait, I've found a solution which works perfectly for me. I use the firefox extension Redirector with these settings. Now I don't have to ignore every video on lemmit that's hosted on Reddit because I don't want to give them pageviews, I can just watch them on RDX instead! get all the Reddit content I want without ever actually visiting Reddit.
Maybe too good to be true, but I'll ride that train to the end of the line! As for comments, it's not possible, and anyway, I think it's better to start our own conversations here.
I use lemmit. That way the reddit content comes here to Lemmy, and I have everything I want here in one place. I just started using a browser plugin to redirect any links that direct to reddit from lemmit to direct to RDX instead. This was only an issue with some videos and stuff that were hosted on reddit, normal links would skip reddit completely by default with lemmit. Now with RDX, I can really avoid reddit altogether!
I'll pay for a few streaming services that can keep something I want to watch in stock year around. For the ones that can't, their shows go onto a seedbox with plex and sonarr.
Good riddance.
Ah yes, spoken with the surety and confidence of someone who has never navigated the waters of raising kids in the modern world. It must be nice to live in a perfect world inside your own mind.
Do you have kids?
I miss the days where you could just buy something from Logitec or Hayes or Gravis or CH Products and know it was not garbage just because the brand could be trusted. Finding a trustable brand these days seems super hit or miss. You'll get a great item and then the next one will be some cheap china garbage that dies in 4 months.
I wish that all the damn news sites would band together and make a Spotify for news. Or just let me pay a few cents for each article. I'm not gonna go subscribe to 50 news sites.
