Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.

If you’re already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you’re not bookmarking constantly.

If you’re doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).

I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced

We found that browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge are susceptible to this form of browsing history leakage in both default and private browsing modes. Brave browser was unaffected by this issue due to their blocklist and the blocking of requests to the localhost; and DuckDuckGo was only minimally affected due to missing domains in their blocklist.

Aside from having uBlock Origin and not having any Meta/Yandex apps installed, anyone aware of additional Firefox settings that could help shut this nonsense down?

But I thought Edge was so crucial for the system to function it can’t be removed? That’s what MS told me at least, and I definitely trust them

Never used pocket, how does this differ from just having a bookmarks folder called “stuff to read while you’re taking a shit”?

If AI is going to be crammed down our throats can we at least be able to hold it (aka the companies pushing it) liable for providing blatantly false information? At least then they’d have incentive to provide accurate information instead of just authoritative information.

But also it’s super easy to manipulate a mentally ill person. Just keep whispering in his ear that he’s totally right and oh by the way he should be upset about this other thing too, and he will take the bait. Every. Time.

It’s the same Americans who mourned the loss of Queen Elizabeth, some people just like to make celebrities their whole personality for no real reason.

The fact that you posted a link to this video from YouTube not peer tube says a lot.

Or, hear me out, just eat more veggies. Much lower risk of disease spread (though yes, as I’m sure others well be eager to point out, they can carry pathogens, would you rather take your chances with a raw carrot or a raw chicken breast)

Idk who went for the down vote here - such a mythical system sounds lovely (and someone clearly hasn’t read the news)

“Worth” only according to its owner, who paid himself to buy it from himself under a different org. Good luck finding an outside investor willing to spend $30B on it now that it’s turned into a hate pool with a shit revenue stream

Came over during the great 3rd party app API debacle. It didn’t even make the list. Am I old now?

Like all Google products, they will still make a halfhearted attempt to make it as useful as they can before absolutely destroying it with ads

I assume that’s why there’s a 95% rejection rate, they’re just fumbling to find any mechanics that haven’t already been used in other games.

I was like “Wow, did they roll it back already?”

Waiting for the reviews to come in on this system’s N64 performance

Don’t forget the rise of the 60+ GB “Day 0 Patch”. You buy any physical game and you have to download the whole thing anyways when you get home.

They’re going to holistically synergize the market capitalization to optimize a paradigm shift for shareholders.

They expect it to bomb and they’re going to flood it with microtransactions and vague “AI-enhanced fetch quests” or some bullshit.

They’re not trying to make a better user experience, squash bugs, or polish the story, they’re “extracting value” - I’d stay far away from this one folks.

Who else is ready for four more years of “President makes vague statement to sound tough and refuses to clarify any specifics” headlines every few hours?
