I rolled back the app to an older version before this was required and blocked it from network or updating. The only feature I use is the gps data over bluetooth and remote shutter. Canon can go F*** themselves with this nonsense

Exactly that. State into the void and let my thoughts wonder

I hate to say it, but i kinda saw this coming. Ever since they went public, i lost trust in them as they become beholden to profit maximizing shareholders. I switched away 3 years ago. The part I didn’t expect was the lies and insolvency.

I switched to StorJ, which supports S3 and works as a drop in replacement for a lower price.

Another good drop in alternative that speaks S3 is scaleway. Their based in France, but it’s a bit more pricy, especially with the US$ taking a nosedive against the euro.

I think I get maybe half of those, but can someone explain why Ohio is on the list?

It doesnt look real but Quokka’s exist. They live exclusively on a small island off the coast of Perth. Rottnest island. It’s Dutch and it translates to the rat’s nest.

Has the stock android experience really gotten this bad? So glad I switched to GrapheneOS. I’m not even aware of all the places there trying to shove ai crap into. All these big companies must be really desperate to justify the billions of dollars they spent developing this stuff.

Its does, but its less annoying and actually has an off switch

I think the trick here is to not use Google. The Wikipedia page for the movie heat is the first result on DuckDuckGo

Tailscale is how I access my server. I’ve got a domain name that points to the internal tailscale IP address, but that’s not really necessary

I run uptime-kuma on a cheap VPS and have it ping my external ports on the home server. If the house loses internet I still get alerts.

People who micromanage, either directed at me or someone else

League of Legends by far has the most toxic community I’ve ever encountered. I left in the middle of a match due to toxic players and got a temp ban. Never went back.

It defaults to the highest quality available. Tidal gives you a flac file

DoubleDouble let’s you download from all the major streaming platforms just by giving it a link to what you want downloaded

I hope this company remembers their roots and keeps trying to minimise costs for the end users. Since their IPO, they’re expanding aggressively and built 2 new datacentres and are operating at a loss. Being a public company now they are beholden to share holders and will eventually seek to maximise profit.

Hardware virtualization is often disabled in the bios by default and probably just needs to be enabled. Called something like AMD-VT or INTEL-Vd

Cars=freedom

There’s a reason why in the game you could never put a portal on a moving surface

and we were also first in line for things like the COVID vaccine, because the companies could make so much of their profits here…

We were first in line because the US government paid billions to fund the R&D to get the vaccine out. Then when manufacturing started in limited supply it went to the highest bidder first, which again was the US. We paid for it twice . I think that kind of thing should not be patented, we the people paid for the research and development, and the pharma companies got all the profits. If other companies and countries were allowed to manufacture the vaccines, we would have squashed COVID much faster.

I switched to Nebula its affordable and has lots of interesting content from YouTubers I most often watched. Their business is sustainable, pays the creators fairly and has no ads or recommendation algorithm.

I’ve also tried out Odyssey and had the same issues with it. There was one or two channels I would actually watch, but I think the crypto stuff attracts a certain libertarian type. I don’t think it’s sustainable long term.
