At some point, there was this shift where the technology was no longer being designed to benefit the user, but to benefit the creator. The problem is that the creators are now trillion-dollar multi-national organizations who also lobby against my wellbeing and safety in areas of rulemaking and regulation. So now I am fine foregoing the "technology" whenever I can.

You're just being so needlessly confrontational. I hope you're not trying to convince people or change their minds, because all you're doing is causing people to be less receptive of your ideas.

For reals. This is the browser equivalent of being concerned that your car only has 14-way adjustable seats instead of 16, or whatever the marketing team dreamed up last year.

Right? What kind of wildly niche activities are people doing where FF doesn't work? All of my stuff works, and I've never had any weirdness. I browse art, shop online, do social media (a little), check my email, use auction sites, and watch Plex and other streaming services.

There must be an entire corner of the internet I don't even know about.

This is a list of people who's creations I'd like to avoid, if at all possible.

It's obvious for several people on this list, but how do I boycott someone like the Oracle guy? As a non-tech guy, it just seems impossible. I don't even recognize several of these people, tbh.

Yep, also had a "bad" experience recently with divorce. Still not feeling back to 100%, but I know deep down that a happy, functional relationship is just around the corner. I could meet them at any point, and if we're true partners, we'll find a way to be happy with eachother. It's a little tough to remain optimistic, but it's dramatically better than giving up and being cold and pessimistic for the rest of my life!

What are the dating apps?

No good reason to support a monopoly. Sure, I know we can't help some monopolies (grocery stores, internet service, etc.), but this is an entertainment thing.

There are unlimited ways to be entertained nowadays and YouTube is not a necessity. Let's see how well YouTube gets by if we all stop watching for fun, and instead only watch when we have to, such as when we're trying to learn how to fix a car the one time a year we need it.

I will continue to never give Nintendo any of my money on account of their litigiousness.

 

I've found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I've been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn't puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast--not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more (who wants to keep buying can openers? lol).

I'm looking for a manual handheld can opener. I've always had the type that opens from the top, but a little bit of Googling shows that there are types that open from the side. I'm in the USA if that matters!

What does Lemmy think?
