You forgot Ultra

You left out the part about Honey charging sellers to hide coupons.

It’s more expensive in remote areas and areas without competition.

Lemmy may be free to access, but certainly not free to host. Am I paying for it personally? No, but someone is.

“Someone” is paying to host every website. The point is it’s free to you.

Exactly my point.

I don’t understand what any of that has to do with what you or I said.

or is the logic that they’re giving a discount because they can make the extra money with the data.

Yes that is what I said.

but now it’s the norm and they can charge more for it and still make more money selling data.

They still have to compete with all the other TV manufacturers.

I did read and didn’t see anything about archiving pages.

is actually cheaper or the “dumb TV” is just overpriced?

I don’t know what that means. I don’t know how old you are or where you are getting your perspective from but before TVs were “smart” they cost waaaay more. Back in like 2012 I paid ~$2k for a 50" plasma TV. Still have the receipt.

Why wouldn’t I just use the bookmark manager in my browser?

This is just a way to inflate the price of the TV

It’s not. It’s far more valuable. It’s a data-mining tool.

Quite the opposite, actually. The “smart” part gives you huge discounts because they expect to make it back on the data they collect.

Lemmy is a text based social media

No it is not. It is a link aggregator. Can be text, can be images, can be video, can be news, etc. etc.

That makes no sense. The problem is not that an extension is tampering with tracker links, it is that it is falsely attributing itself as a sales representative.

I don’t care what Google wants.

Good, me either.

Maybe a search engine shouldn’t be competing using vertically integrated services?

Maybe.

Or would you defend them when they remove links to non-Youtube-video platforms, and anything else that competes with their products

Did not and would not defend them about anything.

We don’t have to sacrifice healthy competition and functioning services to the wants of corporations.

Agree

That was cringey as fuck but I guess get the word out in whatever way works

There’s a Frigate app within Home Assistant.

They also could just have added more choice to the interface but they rather wanted to remove it to show their users “how bad the EU is”.

Or maybe they just didn’t want to actively support competing services?

I’m sure it is extremely impressive. That means nothing when you’re paying $3500 for a device that has no practical use. It doesn’t even support any VR games, which is the only realistic usecase. Maybe they could rent them out for a few weeks because after that time you get bored of it immediately.

I think it’s pretty clear their intended use was “spatial computing” which is apple marketing speak for a computer with floating displays. But they were fools to think that anyone wanted to walk around with this thing strapped to their face, much less that they would pay such a wild amount of money for it. Or that they would use that floating keyboard on a daily basis.

I used to really enjoy Facebook. It was a great way to keep up with old friends and made new ones. For me it was a springboard for IRL relationships when I moved to a new city. But now it’s just so riddled with advertisements and I’ve learned a lot about their extremely shady data collection practices that I just use it to “post and ghost” for my business.
