What does "cloudflare so who cares lol" mean exactly?

Cloudflare is so good that you don't even have to care about your privacy because they've got it covered?

or

Nobody who uses Cloudflare would care about privacy, and for some reason that's worthy of a "lol"?

or what?

Sobering up before trying to find ways of organising songs would be my first tip.

The British Indian Ocean Territory was formed specifically to prevent the native inhabitants from gaining self-determination, allowing for a joint UK/US military base to be set up. The inhabitants were forcibly expelled in the 1960s, and ever since then the British government have taken active, sometimes deceptive, measures to prevent them from ever returning. You should look it up.

If they were just honest about it and say "this is expensive so we need to put the prices up", I would have a lot more respect for that.

First of all I wouldn't use a pre-installed OS (I would always wipe and install my own for security reasons).

Secondly: Thinkpads (at least when I bought mine, last year) let you buy them without an OS and don't charge you for it.

Thirdly: the linked manufacturers above tend to be either US-centric and/or more expensive than Thinkpads.

That's very useful, thank you @Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com

Just to note if copying the URL you have to strip off the https:// or else it won't work (maybe people just don't copy that these days, but I ran in to that problem anyway).

Out of the loop, what drama?

Good job this is Lemmy then and each instance can set their own rules.

I don't even think you need to go as far as comparing it to emulators and torrent downloaders. It just downloads what's publicly hosted on the web, it's no different from a web browser basically.

This doesn't answer your question properly, but a few years ago when I moved away from the YouTube front end (I use FreeTube primarily), like you I initially missed the recommendation algorithm (more than I thought). But the longer I went without it, I realised that the recommendations were really fuelling a kind of mindless addiction, eventually I started to watch fewer but higher quality videos, usually based on what other humans had recommended to me and I've found that to be a much better experience overall. Remember the algorithm is designed to keep you on the platform for as long as possible, not necessarily to give you the highest quality experience.

My thoughts exactly, and also it makes it a pretty useless thing to DDoS for what ever reason.

I don't think of it as a selfie camera, I think of it as a camera for video calls.
