I have notifications on when someone joins and maybe 75% of the time after I see the notification their account is "deleted" because they changed the privacy settings.

It's not the end of the world but I do wish more people wouldn't automatically pick the maximum privacy setting so that we could actually, yknow use it

Foolish for sure but not as bad as trusting random unsourced claims on Lemmy!

You're backing up 4tb for $6/mo? I looked into B2 for a 2tb drive and it was double that.

Yeah, and a lot of the screenshotted comments don't even read like bots, they read like someone in a developing country that doesn't speak english as a primary language.

No need for an alternative, it can be self hosted and (for now) the original repo is still up: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

Honestly the entire notion of caring about "ratings" at all is stupid unless you are trying to sell ads. Reviews are great and reviewing art is an art form of it's own. But taking a bunch of reviews and smoothing them together and averaging them out in order to pretend you've reached some sort of objective truth about how "good" a piece of media is is a stupid thing to care about and will only bring you sorrow and a more shallow life.

Linux on ARM is developing rapidly, however it will be many years before it approaches the usability of iOS or Android and will almost certainly never have some features like nfc payments.

Oh nice,for some reason I thought that was only the 5. Surprised we haven't seen more media center OS for it besides Kodi which is pretty meh these days.

I'm assuming you have a CEC dongle or use second remote?
