It is indeed a hacker news mirror on lemmy afaik. And that being said lemmy isn’t really an average user crowd either.

Hackernews isn’t really catering to average end users.

Different tools for different purposes

Deleted my 10 year account a few months ago. Haven’t looked back. Once in a while my google searches will point me to some reddit thread, and I’ll check it out, but I have logged in for the last time.

I think there’s a lot of good old moralization going on out there. «Young people are getting lazy» etc. Especially from old rich people who got everything handed to them.

Tech is probably the 1%

Like you have a choice in 98% of workplaces.

Because not every movie and episode that I want to watch is already released. Radarr/sonarr lets me subscribe and downlod the correct movie/episode when available in the quality profile that I want.

Also automatically sorting everything in a useful structure when I share my plex libraries with friends and family.

You guys are not using radarr/sonarr?

Ignore /c/all and be selective about the communities you subscribe to. In addition to other unfortunate browsing behaviours I also started lifting weights and climbing, so something good came out of it 😄

Awesome work :)

Correct. But a VPN provider can also build a profile on that metadata, and transparency is often lacking in the VPN business. I live in a country with fairly good privacy laws for now and much prefer my ISP to have my metadata than someone else.

A boycott is rarely comfortable.

Almost deep fried jpeg

Deleted my 10 year account with hundreds of posts and thousands of comments. I have to admit, leaving reddit has created a sort of vacuum in my life, and I have been spending more time scrolling on facebook, news sites and other shitty services. I’m happy to finally have landed on lemmy, but it has been a bit bumpy with the instability on lemmy.world.

I trust my ISP more than a random VPN provider. I use HTTPS for everything anyways.
