I don’t think citronella actually does anything.

You need to clear your cookies for Lemmy.world

I have thought that way before.

But nowadays I have a different perspective. I’ve got everything I need to be happy, and that’s enough for me.

You’re not going to be obsessing over all your career achievements on your deathbed, you’re just going to wish you had spent more time with loved ones.

Which would be pretty important if we want to keep monetization as unobtrusive as possible on Lemmy.

That said, I do think we need to figure out image hosting at some point.

Could you even tell?

After all, we are in the era of advanced LLMs.

I really like that idea.

It would absolutely demolish the risk of a community turning into a meme sub, or one of subs where people just post pictures of their Raspberry Pi in some retail case over and over again.

And as long as pictures are disallowed on the main post, people could still be free to post links to guides or other important content that contains pictures.

It would be nice to interact with my own family and friends

That’s a straight no from me.

We can already interact with our friends and family anywhere we choose, but Lemmy is one of the only general discussion areas left on the internet that isn’t full of the stupidest people on the planet.

Bringing our family here will just result in real identities taking over and limiting discussion to what’s acceptable in all our little social bubbles.

Motherland if I’m not mistaken.

Plex DMCA’d my private server a few months ago.

So I cancelled my Plex Pass and moved on to greener pastures.

They seem to be doing everything they can to get rid of their foundational userbase so they can attract… Ad supported free TV watchers?..

What morons are running the show in Silicon Valley?

The only thing you can’t do with an open API is exploit every dollar of value that passes through your service.

The main difference between a Silicon Valley API and a FOSS API, is the SV API is trying to get tons of people rich as fuck by exploiting you. The FOSS API can live long and prosper by simply asking for donations every once in a while, or engaging in very light-handed monetization.

There are like a million little nuances to this whole issue, and the lack of nuance is what Silicon Valley relies on to convince people that they must pillage their users, but that’s the gist.

What about port forwarding opens Mullvad up to more scrutiny from law enforcement?
