this is the first time a post from these meme trends has had me in tears from laughing.

FeelThePower , 4 months ago to technology in Lemmy helping Lemmy World browse the web

Waterfox on my laptop, using Rehike for YouTube, uBlock origin, and DuckDuckGo privacy essentials not because it does much more than uBlock, but because of the built in unlimited email aliases. Incredibly useful feature.

On mobile I use stock brave since waterfox for iOS isn’t out yet, and it collects no directly identifiable information unlike Firefox which for some reason does.

FeelThePower , 4 months ago to asklemmy in What do you think about the Gemini protocol?

I was an early adopter of Gemini and even hosted some stuff on there years ago, but ultimately I don’t see a point when things like gopher exist and Gemini is a wasteland when it comes to interesting stuff to browse. Though admittedly the concept of an encrypted gopher protocol is pretty nice to me. I feel a lot more of the old internet feeling on there, i.e everyone else using it is a like-minded hobbyist with no corporate overlords. But even then things like activitypub that we are using right now also have that so idk.

California and Oregon? I’m honestly shocked. I’ve accidentally walked into plenty of protests downtown here.

it’s so, so sad what’s happened to Florida in the last 4 years.

FeelThePower , 4 months ago to technology in Reddit says it's made $203M so far licensing its data

if you request your data from them under CCPA, and it shows the edited comments as gibberish, you’re good. I did the same thing but I left the comments to simmer for a long time like months.

FeelThePower , 4 months ago to mildlyinfuriating in I know how much you dudes get off to pushing YouTube Frontends so here is YouTube recently replacing the comments section on desktop, Cheers

I see. Well, at least my local rehike front-end won’t break then. but still that’s so bad. I hate the new trend of every desktop site pretending you’re on an iPad in terms of layout.

if they actually remove comments, I’m done. the API scandal got me off of Reddit and the comments being gone will get me away from YouTube. I only really watch it while I’m eating as is.

FeelThePower , 4 months ago to piracy in Users with personal music libraries, how do you decide what to download?

I go crate digging through soundcloud and bandcamp every so often, once in a while ill play a mix on youtube. Even if I only really like one or two songs on an album, i usually still download the entirety of it because sometimes i like just having songs on in the background if they fit a vibe i’m feeling. This is especially true for me with vaporwave, probably wouldn’t bump it on my commute for example but it can really make me drift mentally if i have it on in the background while say, browsing lemmy or something. And of course for my absolute favourite artists I tend to have almost if not the entire discography.

how do companies NEVER learn? I seriously can’t fathom watching industry failures time after time and still thinking “this time will be different”.

I love making this as a little protein snack sometimes.

FeelThePower , 4 months ago to lemmyshitpost in Data contamination expert 👌

FWIW, I requested an old reddit accounts data the other day under CCPA and all the contamination was in there. My guess is their backend updates every so often. i guess i made a good call to edit my comments and leave them there to simmer before i deleted them along with the account. perhaps this is the way?

FeelThePower , 4 months ago to technology in Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

back when I made my Lemmy account I used a tool called redact to masse edit my Reddit comments into gibberish and then after a few days of making sure it got them all, I deleted them all and then my account.

FeelThePower , 4 months ago to piracy in Sources for sample packs and other music production resources?

As a music artist myself, i can say that most sample pack trading is done on private communities and kept way under wraps. I used to begrudgingly use discord servers for this but i’ve managed to stockpile so many by masse downloading that I left them all in the end. though if you just want drumkits there is rdx.overdevs.com/subreddit.html?r=Drumkits
