Anecdotally, I only keep services that require an account to get past the landing page on my VPS. (I’m very new to self hosting and haven’t figured out ways to stop bots/scrapers yet.) So I think if nothing else, that’s a pretty easy starting point.
Didn’t IHOP do something similar by claiming that they were going to change their name to IHOB?
“IHOb also issued a press release about the change and still used the original “IHOP” in its footer, suggesting the switch was a temporary promotion.”
Seems so. Source.
Well, this abstract says it’s about 20% effective over not advertising but this is a meta analysis and isn’t focused exclusively on internet ads.
The baked in biases being that the authors are “a German chaired professor of marketing at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany” and his research assistant.
Android only? Desktop client stopped working last night. Did you do anything special?
Ahh, Manna.
Thanks for posting that. I was looking for confirmation or debunk and this adds some clarity.
My favorite personal fuck up was when I accidentally locked myself (and literally everyone else in the company) out of the CRM I was working on by disabling the login pages and enabling SSO before I had finished setting up the SSO inside the CRM’s config, and it logged me out as part of the procedure. Whoops.
My biggest use case has been in data formatting. “Here’s a big list of numbers, output it back to me as (String) (Number) (String) (break) (Number)” stuff like that. Before AI I made a little python program to do stuff like that for me but I lost it on my old work computer pre-COVID and never whipped one up again. Writing it out now, I should do that again lol.
Oh, I know. No preaching required. I’m from pre-internet days. That’s why I agree with you. Being this dependent on the internet is not good for me or anyone else.
It would be a big struggle for me but I still agree with you.
I’ve got my copy of wikipedia saved away and have been downloading/archiving stuff steadily this year. Even tampering aside, I fully expect things to start to get pulled down and go missing.
I didn’t know, thank you!
Was really hoping to see better discovery/searching/browsing of instances.
A salute to our community mod then for the hard work!
How come I never see people recommending Waterfox? Is it just not popular or is there some major flaw?
Very thought out write-up! I generally use Freetube, as I’m primarily a desktop user, but since it’s been down, I learned how to use yt-dlp, and picked up some GUIs that sit on it to try out. It’s been a little surreal watching everything as a self contained file, but almost nostalgic in a way too.
That said, I look forward to when things get patched up on the Freetube front.
