Switch to firefox. They're assholes too but at least no google tracking BS and you can install ublock origin

Edit: just saw the other reply after I posted but let's be honest, you knew what you were getting into with lemmy ๐Ÿ˜…

That episode getting removed from Netflix over some virtue signaling bs was one of the reasons I wrote off streaming and started hoarding content.

This looks like those gimmicky android launchers and themes from a decade ago

I'm curious, how long did it take you to come to that conclusion?

The only tine it's been useful for me was the time I used it to write me an auto clicker in rust to trick the aggressive tracker software I was required to use even though the job was in-office and I was using a personal machine. Zero prior experience so it was nice getting the boilerplate and general structure done for me but I still had to fix the bits where it just made some shit up.

Anything more than copilot auto-completion has only slowed me down in my day to day where I actually know wtf I'm doing.

This is dead on! 99% of the fucking job is digital plumbing so the whole thing doesn't blow the up when (a) there's a slight deviation from the "ideal" data you were expecting, or (b) the stakeholders wanna make changes at the last minute to a part of the app that seems benign but is actually the crumbling bedrock this entire legacy monstrosity was built upon. Both scenarios are equally likely.

Holy fuck I just realized I can comission wallpapers ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Whether I can afford it is a different matter entirely

That just sounds like a race to the bottom to me

Try a VPN to any EU country. I find that platforms can get really cooperative really fast when you wanna delete your account and they think GDPR applies

Unless you're already in the EU in which case you could try "Mine" (saymine.com) although it's been a minute and the AI stuff on their site does by fill me.with confidence
