  • Reddit Won’t Be the Same. Neither Will the Internet

    Jump

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

  • Publishers need to stop announcing games that are still years away from launch, gamers agree

    Jump

  • 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.

  • If you could only play one game exclusively, which one would it be?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What type of console form factor could evolve beyond the Switch?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What are you Watching? (July 2023)

    Jump

  • Just finished the season finale of Silo. Can't wait for the second season

  • YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers

    Jump

  • 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

  • YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Millions become a year or two younger as South Korea scraps traditional way of counting age

    Jump

  • Just think of all the presents you have to buy Jan 1st

  • The Password Game. Create a password with increasingly difficult password requirements

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just bars with alcohol, there were establishments for people to consume cannabis while eating, playing board games, and socializing?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • DuckDuckGo browser beta for Windows bakes in a lot of privacy tools

    Jump

  • I have it set to rotate through IPs

  • DuckDuckGo browser beta for Windows bakes in a lot of privacy tools

    Jump

  • 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.

  • DuckDuckGo browser beta for Windows bakes in a lot of privacy tools

    Jump

  • 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.

  • DuckDuckGo browser beta for Windows bakes in a lot of privacy tools

    Jump

  • I've had a private SearXNG instance for about a year. Never going back, if you want no ads and to not be tracked by your searches it's the way to go. I host it on a cloud server to further remove myself from being tracked via IP. It's pretty easy to spin one up and I highly recommend it.

    Here's what my page looks like when I search

  • 'The Beanie Bubble' trailer: Zach Galifianakis and Sarah Snook lead toy-craze biopic

    Jump

  • This looks like it could be Zach Galifianakis's most unique performance. It's a little hard to tell it's even him. I'll probably check it out.

  • I really want to use Firefox, but feels a bit odd

    Jump

  • It has been locking up on me but that's not gonna stop me from using it. It's honestly probably my fault with the dumb decision to install win11. I'll probably wipe and go back to win10 while I still can but it has been buggier than usual on win11. Still love it though, fuck chrome.

  • As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal

    Jump

  • I think it's a little different, but not by much. Yes, it still contributes content and drives users to the site but it's not content they're looking for and it's inevitably going to die down and that's the part I'm looking forward to.

  • There's More to the Reddit Meltdown Than Meets the Eye

    Jump

  • I'm on kbin and haven't figured out/noticed getting notifications for replies to my comments. I've been leaving the thread open in a tab and refreshing every so often. Does kbin do notifications and I'm just missing it?
