This happens to me constantly. Just the other day I asked some friends for something and then they sent the literal exact opposite of that thing. Pretend I asked for blue with red stripes they gave me green with yellow polka dots. And it wasn’t just one person it was three separate people who all decided that made sense for some reason.

I was extremely specific too, even more than usual because I know people constantly misinterpret me. I made extra sure to not use any language with vague meanings and it still happened anyway. It’s like we live in alternate realities where words have completely different meanings.

It makes me not want to talk to people at all.

I have actually been seeing some timestamps that are completely wrong lately, maybe this is why.

I also use the Jellyfin+Symfonium combo. There is also Finamp as the free and open source option. And Feishin on desktop.

That’s my experience as well. Now I use a SearXNG instance with Google as the only source and it works well I’d say roughly 97% of the time.

So following your argument further, if we all did this no one would produce anything because they’d never get paid.

You are literally saying this on Lemmy. A piece of software that is developed for free using other software/tools that are free, and run on servers that are hosted by others for free. Most open source projects work this way. People are fully capable of doing things because they want to. Not everything needs to be profit-driven.

If we all did this, what would happen is there would be way less slop and lazy cash-grabs. Because the only people left making things would be the ones who are actually passionate and believe in what they do.

I’ve never seen that abbreviation for it before.

It’s actually in the domain: https://slsknet.org

Just buy them on eBay. Why does it matter where they come from? Again, four of them have to die before it’s no longer worth it. It’s extremely unlikely you’d be that unlucky.

Personally I have 15 drives in my NAS, all of them were bought used and they’ve been running 24/7 for 4+ years without issue. Originally I expected to lose at least one per year but they just keep chugging along. All of them have at least 40k power on hours, with the oldest 3TB ones having over 80k (9+ years)

I use unRAID so if/when one does die it’s as simple as pulling out the dead one, popping in a new one, and letting it rebuild itself.

Especially for hard drives. 8TB SAS drives are down to about $45 a piece.

Brand new enterprise-grade 8TB drives are more around $180 new. Meaning as long as you have redundancy (which you should anyway) then you can lose four used drives before it stops being worth it. Not to mention drives get cheaper so if your $45 drive dies 2 years from now you could probably replace it for $35 etc.

Maybe I’ll just fade away and not have to face CSS

I like lemdro.id because they haven’t really defederated from anyone except for spam instances

I chose them for the same reason, they actually aren’t defederated from any instances as far as I can tell. I would rather choose which content I want to see for myself than have someone else do it for me. Plus there is old.lemdro.id which makes me feel right at home.

Same with Cox, the default is 1.25 TB. I pay extra for unlimited and use around 7 TB per month. Haven’t heard any complaints for the 2 years I’ve had them. I have a feeling the threshold is something like 8 or 10 TB but I’d rather not find out.

So just don’t opt in then? They’re not selling the data, it’s completely optional, and they explain exactly what they’re collecting, how they’re collecting it, and what they’re using it for. This is all completely reasonable. They have to get this information for to improve the search somehow. Even the actual collection component is open source. I’m not sure what the issue is.

The fact that they did SECRET crypto shit should be 100% nuclear.

It wasn’t a secret. By the nature of being open source, it is in the open. They literally can’t do anything secret which is what makes trusting the company a non-factor. You just have to trust that the community stays on top of things which is the same amount of trust required for any other open source project. Think about what happened with Audacity, they tried adding telemetry and was immediately called out for it.

And nuclear? They added a variable in a URL. As far as I know it was only for Binance. It’s not like that’s a privacy concern because all that tells Binance is the user came from Brave… which they could already get from the user agent when you visit.

And you know who else adds variables in URLs? Firefox. Type something in the address bar and hit enter (with default settings). You’ll see ?client=firefox-b-1-d in your Google search. Should they have added the referral code? Absolutely not. But it’s not that heinous.

You mean the crypto shit you can disable in a couple of clicks and completely ignore? Firefox doesn’t have that good of defaults either. You also have disable things like Pocket and change some settings to make it good. It’s why Hardened Firefox and Librewolf exist.

And where did I say that open source = good? I just said it being open source makes it easily to see if they are doing something shady. It’s how they were caught changing the referral URLs a few years ago. If they try to pull anything they would be caught the same way they were before.

If you think the company isn’t trustworthy that’s completely understandable by why does that affect the browser? It’s fully open source. If they’re doing something shady with it people would instantly become aware of it.

Apparently you need to follow your own advice and do a search because it takes 30 seconds to see they are collecting data from their search engine not the browser. So if you don’t use their search (which is pretty shit anyway) it’s not relevant to the browser side of things. The browser is completely open source and everyone can see what the code is doing.

And isn’t using search data to improve search results a pretty reasonable usecase for AI? Seems like a nothing burger. For the record I use librewolf but I find the constant Brave hate to be undeserved.

I think you guys are just discussing semantics. Revanced as a project is the patches themselves, so Revanced is open source. But a YouTube app patched with the Revanced patches is not.

I have enabled multiple lists that aren’t default, have years worth of custom filters, run in medium mode and I have never seen a single warning on YouTube. Maybe none of the stuff I’ve configured is YouTube related.
