Android users do this as well, they just normally have to squabble with Apple users rather than feel they can punch down on someone else. I don’t have a smartphone. But unlike them my phone is cheap to replace if it sinks while kayaking.

I also don’t like iOS or Android

That is work devices though rather than personal ones

Depends on the platform surely, couldn’t a lemmy instance just ignore the UK? Not block, ignore.

I am sure I saw that smaller platforms are seeing a surge in popularity because they are not doing it while pornhub saw a large drop. How many switched to a VPN and how many use another site?

Oh yeah heard about him a lot from a bunch of people that insist they are not racist.

CatB40 and Pinephone

I don’t have android or iOS because they are shit

Several shops here are already sticking Christmas things

Yes and no, I heard about it in the UK but it didn’t mean much. I was about 10 at the time. Usually when people talk about it online people of a similar age in the US seem to have had more of an impact.

It wasn’t something we talked about, teachers didn’t put it on or have a talk with all of us about it. Just heard about it on TV the next morning as the TV was on and oh that’s a thing.

Easy. Currently I am probably saving close to 35% of my income as I don’t really know what to spend it on and already live pretty frugally, but I have to work still. So just stop the spending on savings and live like I do now.

Earning £26k so nothing special but a bit over minimum wage. Can save at least £500 a month without trying after paying my half of the bills and mortgage. Would probably save more if I didn’t buy so many cat toys.

A large user base of gullible morons is exactly what advertisers want though

Don’t buy minimalist things, just don’t buy things.

Half the games I play are 2D, the other half are not overly demanding either. Wonder what you would need to run deep rock galactic at 8k 144hz? Probably one of the more demanding games I have played lately. But if I was to spend money on better equipment for that game it would be sound equipment.

And hot water bottles for when you can’t, plus its nice to have anyway. Method to boil water using a different fuel source is probably a good idea too.

Those poles that screw into each other to extend and have attachments to help unclog pipes? Yeah those are handy, next door have them which saved me a lot of money the other day when I lifted the drain cover and a couple hundred litres of sewage was backed up.

The poles are about a tenth of the minimum cost of calling someone out to fix it.

I pump my bike up to 60, they are rated for up to 65 so I go a little under

Lemmy uses an open one though and isnt it just based on upvotes and time?

yt-dlp, it can be used to download playlists and also only download new videos in a playlist

Videos from YouTube

Automated Youtube pirate server that streams to your TV with UPNP?

It used to just work. Then it only worked with a funny work around. Now I don’t care because I pirate their content instead.
