It's just a matter of time until all your messages on Discord, Twitter etc. are scraped, fed into a model and sold back to you

Well, I'm just starting with serious backups, AFAIK you only need to backup the data which you can't replicate.
Low seeded torrents are just hard to get, but not impossible. Personal photos, your notes, any other files generated by you are the ones which need backups.
I recently switched to ubuntu in a gaming laptop, right now I've been using it just for jellyfin and some other coding tasks, but it definitely runs smoother, more stable, quicker, and cooler than windows did for the same workload.
I was surprised at the difference of even just having the machine idle, on windows it was noticeable warm, now on ubuntu it's almost as if it has been turned off.
It's funny they think 5 seconds of no content is worst of 10~30 seconds of ads.
Windows: you're going to use wsl, right?
Well, not only this data, all activity on lemmy is public since it needs to be federated (sent to all instances subscribed to the community will receive all activity).
Which means any person can track anyone if they subscribe to the same communities the user's instance has.
AFAIK the only activity not sent is saved content, and downvotes from content hosted in instances which disabled them.

And all instances which are subscribed to this community need to receive this information to keep it updated.
I never understood this, it's your selfhosted server but you kind of don't own it and depend on them, so you just have an application which depends on a their service which means plex isn't 100% selfhostable, correct?
if a player deletes and reinstalls a game, that counts for two installs and two charges. Ditto for players installing a single game on two devices.
Wow, I'm without words, I can only imagine the deals to be ended on games in places like Netflix or the Google play pass
I just started using rss for the communities I still want to know about.
You only need to add the reddit name of the community and .rss
at the end in your reader.
For example https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/hot.rss
I didn't even know about core-js until the dev complained about all the sites which use it. https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md
I bet you were really happy seeing that sub at that moment.
Oh, I was only aware of credits where the lender sets the amount to be the total exactly spread over the period, those are the only ones I've seen and taken, so each month I get a charge for the amount needed to keep up with the credit.
For the rest then it makes sense how they make money, since I've had credit cards which don't show or at the very least hide the amount to not pay interest and only tell you the minimum payment.
