People have been saying this shit in the 500s and before

Using something else than Graphene OS is pointless in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

You can't really expect to have any privacy if you're using any online service anymore, so I just stopped trying. Blasting a Samsung phone with all the features enabled and not thinking of going back really.

We can all blame Google for that.

Any difference in remote access? I think you gotta pay plex for that.

What do you use to private watch YouTube? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

On Android try NewPipe, but dont expect algorithm recommendations, just the main trending pages. Same for iOS use "unwatched"

How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Most of them are bots anyway and I really wouldn't want "everyone" to find out about and use lemmy because that would be the downfall of lemmy.

Is jellyfin considerably better than plex for local and offline usage?

Eh BIOS level rootkits have been around for a while. If uncle sam wants to watch you, believe me they will, just the same way uncle china does.

Is it worth getting into video games? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Video games used to be good, now most games are just quick cash grabs. I highly recommend old classics if you're planning to get into it.

Chinese immigrants in the U.S. are running Temu shipping centers out of their homes in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Exactly this. People shit on the Chinese companies, but the American ones just rip us off with the same product.

Some YouTube Premium subscribers complain of seeing ads in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You do see ads, you just don't realize it. There are multiple 1-2 minute videos on your feed usually with the title "Introducing [insert product]" and these are product placements that YouTube is very well aware of. They also had the audacity to tell me that these are ads but they don't "interfere" with me watching videos. So, they are injecting ads into premium subscriber feeds already. Disgusting company.

Discussion on healthcare in the US (lemmy.world)
 

Everyone knows by now, how much the US healthcare system sucks and tries to funnel money from people’s pockets at every chance.

How do you think this will play out in the upcoming years? Is there anything the common person can do to end this ridiculous system? Do we even have the power to change anything by asking for it in numbers?

Pixel 9 models below $600 (lemmy.world)
 

If you go to websites like Swappa right now, you can find brand new Google Pixel 9 models for less than $600. Considering Google is trying to sell these phones above $800, I think the market already decided what this series of phones should cost really.

Best stock ticker widget app? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi there,

I’m looking for an app with a good widget that would let me track the stocks I’ve invested in. The main issue I’m having with the system app is that the widget is limited to 6 symbols and if you are using an app to track multiple stock prices on a widget, I would love to know what you use. So far tried a few apps but had no luck. Thanks in advance.

Reddit ads between comments (lemmy.world)
 

Was recently browsing Reddit and noticed a new type of ad which pops up in between comments now. It used to be a few ads in between posts and you would get an ad as the top comment when you click on a post, but now they’re injecting ads in between comments when you are even scrolling comments lol. When do you think this will start having an effect on regular people? Do you think the enshittification will slow down or come to a halt if these companies start losing revenue due to lost customer base?

Any unofficial YouTube clients? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey folks, there are a few apps in the Android world which I use to watch YouTube without ads. Some examples are ReVanced, NewPipe etc. I was wondering if there is a similar app that I can use to fulfill the same needs such as ad blocking, downloading and viewing on iOS. Figured if anyone knew it'd be on Lemmy. Thanks in advance!

Backup filters/blocks? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey everyone,

Been using Boost for a long while now and I'm wondering if the filters/blocks I've made over the past few months persist when I install the app on a new device. I really don't want to see some communities/instances on my feed and does anyone know if this syncs with my user account? Is there a way to backup these filters I've enabled? Appreciate any response.
