The app is intentional, with browsers they can't control which extensions you run, and therefore can't force their ads on you. With the app they can control the environment and you are legally not allowed to modify their app because trademark....

Hey, hey...pssst you forgot to update the template to the your current crypto!

Also, it might be annonymized for this dataset, by adding more 'annonymized' datasets stuff can be correlated

I'm happy to dunk on musk as much as the next guy, but that title is bull.

Lightyears measure distance not time, how can they mess that up?

Those where more, how should I put it, 'visual' and 'tangible' threads. Now it's watch out or someone is aggregating all your infornation about you and will use it for some neferarious things...
Which I find is a much wider issue, but is also much more dificult to warn and protect.

Also, there's usually no reason as a user to pay monthly for a feature in a self-hosted application.
The Dev has no monthly costs for that feature. Let me buy the application/feature, and if you need money for a new feature, create a feature that is worth buying again. No need to bully the user into a monthly subscription...

Yep just swapped over from a self hosted solution with gitlab and sublime.. But that was to restrictive and the overall experience wasnt really good...

I then found a post somewhere on lemmy a post abotu PKMS and what people are using... One was obsidian... So I tried it and I'm really happy

Edit: I saw some comments about some missing self hosting. Since the notes are saved as standard md files you easily ca sync them with whatever you want... I set it up with my synology NAS and DS Drive, but any tool which can sync two-ways should be fine

There are always two opinions: mine and the wrong one

I once had a valid office key... But since I reset my computer to often the amount of "free activations" was used up... There where so many hoops to jump through to re-activate it that it was easier to get a cracked key to activate my office version... That's just sick

Also, most banks (and other service provider) add additional fees for counter service, since you can do it online...

Not talking about the "opening hours"...

The problem with ads is not a few ads here and there, it's how it negatively impacts every interaction with those sites:

• ads that load in later than the rest of the page, because they first need to finish the auction of who gets to show their ads... And bam I again missklicked the link because the whole fucking page got shiftet down a notch
• needing a short guide how to do something? Yeah first look at these five (5!) ads which are longer than the guide you want to watch, except... The freaking algorithm favors long videos, so the 30 second guides get padded to over 10min...(with more ads inbetween)
• these ads we show you, yeah they might contain some java script... So you screen them, correct?... Nonono, we can't do that at this scale!
• hey google where can I download this free tool?... Here is a list with download links... Ehh, the first five are ads and lead to some crazy scam site. Don't you check what you deliver as ads.?.... Nonono we can't do that at this scale
• look at this ad for this shady mobile again for the 25ths time today... But youtube that game doesn't look at all like in this ad!.... Thanks for your report... Here's the same fucking ad again!

There was also a report recently that google also screwed their customers (those companies who pay for the ads) where google showed ads as in-stream ads in some auto-running videos in the background.

The whole industey is just broken. Present me with non-intrusive, static ads served from your own site and nobody bats an eye (also ad blockers are a non-issue then)

Tut sie ja, sie hat die LG als kriminelle Vereinigung klassifiziert, ermöglicht ihnen diese fiesen Terroristen besser hinter Gitter zu kriegen... Die beste Regierung die man für Geld kaufen kann
