I’ve moved to using my time to watch more movies. I plan on reading but it’s a process to get me away from a screen at the moment. I check kbin maybe two or three times a day for about 30min increments. I used to spend hours and hours on reddit, but I like not having to constantly check it. I’m not really active on any other social media site, and reddit was basically my one and only. Now I just pop on kbin from time to time.

I hadn’t heard of this, but I feel like this is the case with most big social media companies atm.

Scrubbed and deleted a 12yr account and haven’t been back.

PSA: Don’t use Chrome, or any browser, to save passwords. Get a password manager like bitwarden. It’s very easy to see what your password is with the browser saving them.

edit: for the people downvoting, it literally takes 30-60 seconds to get your email password if you save your passwords in the browser. Once that’s done none of your passwords are safe.

I also wouldn’t use lastpass personally. They’ve had some very concerning breaches and I don’t feel like they take security serious enough.

Reddit, for all of its flaws, is still one of the last true communities on the internet.

I’d rather get the news from leaks when it’s actually in production instead of a title screen 3 years before production really starts.

I’m generally a lurker but have been more active here on kbin. Lurking for 11+ years on reddit I’ve seen a lot of changes. It was only getting worse for years by the time this all went down. I saw the same thing over and over and over and over. I’m liking this space a lot more but I don’t feel like my life has been disrupted, at least in a negative way. I do spend less time on “social media” but everything feels more organic here, at least so far, and I’m happy with my choice to delete and move on from reddit.

My initial thought was something like Elder Scrolls or Fallout, but I think I would be happier in something with a robust building system. Minecraft would work but something like 7 Days to Die would work too and add a bit more challenge. Maybe Valheim, I haven’t played a lot of that but the building system seemed good the little I played?

Edit: I think I would choose No Man’s Sky, actually. Endless exploration and a semi decent building system.

Nintendo likes to come out of left field with some weird shit sometimes. Unfortunately they’re also usually not on par with current consoles even when released. They like to play it safe in respect to specifications while coming up with wild ideas. I do kinda like that they don’t try to go hardcore on the latest and greatest as it does make for a more stable platform that people know how to work with.

he idea is to destroy the relationship between the “click through rate” and “conversion rate” of offending sites/ads.

Ah, I didn’t think of this part. I was going of off click through rate but didn’t think about it destroying the conversion rate

One thing that worries me about this approach is that it’s still generating ad revenue. Sure you don’t actually see the ads but it’s still an incentive for companies to continue running more and more ads.

same, it kept telling me it was an illegal move and that it was white’s turn. I WAS TRYING TO MOVE WHITE. There’s also the possibility I was just doing it wrong.

Just because one person doesn’t want to go to something doesn’t mean they shouldn’t exist. You’re basically saying one person’s opinion/choice outweighs an entire group. If those choices constantly put you at odds with the group it might be best to find a group that aligns with your values more. There’s also nothing wrong with being friends with the people that want to go to things you don’t like, just tag along when they do things you do like. You also don’t have to have one set of friends, you can have multiple groups that like to do different things. I’m not pro banning things for the sake of others that can choose not to participate.

…that’s why you would only go to a place like that if everyone is down. Having them for people that want to go is fine, no one is forced to go.

I have it set to dynamic IP so it changes

I haven’t even heard of it so I don’t have an opinion on it. If it works for you then great! Technically my private searxng is a paid service since I host it in the cloud but it does have the option to be free if you host it locally.

I’ll also add, with a private instance of searxng you know for a fact nothing is getting saved.

Every time it makes a query to one of the selected search engines it does it as a “new user” so there’s no history for it to track.

edit: that’s also why I host it on a cloud server, just to add that extra layer. Not to say someone determined couldn’t figure out who I am but it stops the passive layers of trying to track.
