Virtual Insanity

Here I am on my phone. I do not desire this format. And nothing you have posted suggests that anyone wants this format.

All it shows is device, not preference.

Anytime something is recorded wide screen my wish is that it remains in that format, regardless of platform I am on.

If I’m on my phone it takes less than half a second to rotate my screen and view as intended, on my desktop I can’t do that.

Also in this case quite a bit of the original was lost, seeing the YouTube version is much better.

That’s a massive wall of text to say “sorry we got caught”

Only for places not worth working for. If Louis Rossmann saw this he’d probably offer her a job immediately.

I’d disagree with this.

VPS is opposed to a dedicated server, and actually is a kind of shared hosting because as a VPS user you a allocated a ‘share’ of resources on a machine where others also have a ‘share’ of resources.

Shared housing more typically refers to simpler web hosting where multiple users have their website servers from shared hardware.

The person that made the claim never responded. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

However I did respond, when I could.

So point stands, an accusation was made without evidence, and that accusation is still there, and now mine and one other post responds to that accusation… that again is without evidence.

My issues is, when I made that last post, why was I asked for a source, but no one asked the person making the claim against DDG for a source?

If the people asking me for a source had also asked the original claimant for a source I’d have no issue.

The practice of asking the counter claimant for a source and not the claimant is rife, unfair, unreasonable and needs to be called out.

If seems far too common to accept a say so when an accusation is made online.

Asking for a source isn’t unreasonable in a more important setting.

It’s more an issue that no one asks for source for the original accusation.

It’s the kind of action that lets baseless and faulty accusations get more traction than the truth.

Is it fair that I have to post a source when someone criticizing doesn’t?

I’m just a passing stranger that just happens to have good knowledge about a significant misunderstanding that happened a year ago.

I don’t walk around with ‘sources’ to all of the knowledge I’ve ever gained hanging out of my back pocket.

This is why “source?” posts are stupid and unreasonable, double so when in response to something where a source was never provided.

Now… that all said, I do have a moment now that I didn’t have previously to provide additional information.

This article… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31490515 …Is a starting point, and more info can be found with your own search.

The basic gist was that it was claims DDG pass user data that could identify a user to Microsoft from searches, however this was never the case.

I have to allegiance with DDG… they do an ok job. But I do indeed think it unfair they get continuously accused of wrongdoing, even still to this day as evidenced here.

This is just another case of bad, negative or incorrect information getting more publicity than the facts.

Nothing. Just a misunderstanding that blew up.

Run? WTF you on about? Dead men can’t run and no one is surviving that dish.

Melbourne can go either way for Christmas Day.

This year pissing rain and thunder, top of 21c and 75% humidity round my area.

I’d rank it 3.6

Not terrible, but not great.

At this point I’m limiting what I access and where. I’m targeting a more 1990’s internet experience. I love learning and technical stuff and would miss it if I went off grid, no matter how tempting that is.

I’m actually really trying to play devils advocate… But I’m struggling.

I came to get away from the main stream socials.

I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

I came to find other like minded people.

These principals alone are shared by quite a few I guess.

If we end up hooked up to the machine we were trying to escape from then coming here was near pointless.

They’re both terrible. Why should anyone have to support either? Does it have to be a choice?

The biggest thing killing Lemmy for me is needing a seperate account on every single instance if I want to participate in anything on an instance.

I thought this wasn’t how it was supposed to work.

I saw this post on another instance and tried to reply this exact message but got an error saying I couldn’t.

Using Liftoff if it matters.

Came here intending to post about this. When you have a few accounts it gets tricky. Looks really strange to my church group when they see me saying how pretty a naked lady looks.

I also see it and agree with your theory.

If that is the case it would be nicer if it could be handled better.
