Yeah that’s probably why

I’m all for piracy but the moment you start charging for the content you’re part of the problem and colossally stupid.

Edit: reading it again and it’s actually unclear how exactly the “service” works. I don’t know why I initially thought it definitely involved payment

And usually by “algorithm” people mean a feed that is curated to you specifically based off all the data they’ve vacuumed up. Hot/controversial have a clear set of rules about upvote/downvotes over time and they apply exactly the same to everyone, so everyone sorting by hot for instance on a thread or community is seeing the exact same thing

The scrolling is only made to generate rage if you browse all (your issue) or curate a feed with rage bait 🤷‍♂️ you can fix it in seconds if you want.

Lemmy is not controlled by some sort of curated algorithm. You have full control over the sorting and what goes on your screen in a way that mainstream social media services do not allow.

If you think there’s something addictive or otherwise wrong about your feed, fix it. “The power is yours!”

It doesn’t matter if it’s subjective or objective, it exists.

I don’t need a lecture about Aaron Schwartz and I assure you he wasn’t so childish as to think politics should be ignored and “suck it” in the way you imply it should be. You’re simply inventing your own definitions and separating out things that can’t be separated.

You may as well tell blue skies and green grass to suck it. It exists and dictates your world whether you want it to or not.

Nobody said trying to lead an ethical life was a vacation

I am very comfortable with dmg lol the issue is iOS

Yes I am aware

Ok so you don’t.

Ok… I have a Linux machine too. But I need apple devices for my work as well. I’m asking for solutions not “ditch your phone and computer for different ones.”

I am also rooting for ladybird but yeah sadly not ready yet

Those don’t work on iOS sadly and it’s a bit of a workaround to get on MacOS.

Appreciate the suggestion but iOS. Silly of me to forget that in the initial comment

Do you even understand what this lawsuit is about? Do you understand what the ramifications are if they win? If they lose?

I want you to explain exactly what you mean by your comment. How are they going to win in such a way that we lose?

I understand why people are so mad at Firefox/mozilla but honestly? I just don’t know of any viable alternative right now. Chrome, Safari, edge, etc are all categorically worse offerings because of their parent companies/policies.

Can someone please give me a non-chromium, Mobile and browser desktop suggestion? Firefox has so many QoL things I depend on. I need something that can use major extensions and such.

Edit: iOS is the real issue here for me

Oh my god the responses are so aggravating

It does not fucking matter what we think of Apple. If they lose this case, we all lose.

This isn’t a discussion about what hardware to buy dude jfc take step back and look around you for 2 seconds

You know there are some of us who don’t use iCloud so you can stop assuming all of us are in this boat lol

It’s already gone then. There’s nothing I can do about it.
