I know the response will be what you already said in a previous comment about companies saying “trust us bro” so I’ll take the L on this one.

This is such a Lemmy take, good god.

“Cloudflare has been around for over a decade and doesn’t do anything nefarious with my data and have never shown any intention of doing so… but, consider this for a moment… what if they DID?”

My friend ordered an omelette without the eggs before, and it worked. A server wouldn’t sell me a double shot of Jager because it was “too much alcohol” but had no problem selling me two single shots at once.

All depends on how accommodating your server is.

Don’t forget about DeadJournal for the emo/edgy kids!

This feels like a hasty “solution” to an invented “problem”. Sure, Wikipedia isn’t squeaky clean, but it’s pretty damn good for something that people have been freely adding knowledge to for decades. The cherry-picked examples of what makes Wikipedia " bad" are really not outrageous enough to create something even more niche than Wikia, Fandom, or the late Encyclopedia Dramatica. I appreciate the thought, but federation is not a silver bullet for everything. Don’t glorify federation the way cryptobros glorify the block chain as the answer to all the problems of the world.

Sir, this is Lemmy. Everything bad past, present, and future is the fault of capitalism.

Oh yeah, everything bad is the fault of cars too. Almost forgot that one.

GDPR is no joke. Storing a handful of comments is not worth the penalty if they get caught.

Note that I speak from experience as part of a company that needs to comply with the regulations. We do it because the risk of violation is 10000000% not worth it no matter how annoying and arduous it is to comply.

I don’t think they’re problematic, but as a slightly above average height American male, I feel like my hands skew towards the smaller side of average which makes a difference. I have no problem with the joycons attached to the console, and I’m also a big fan of the pro controller. A friend of mine who is notably much taller bought me pro-like third party joycons for Christmas and they hurt my hands to use in contrast to the OG that don’t bother me at all.

With the way federation currently works, it’s impossible, sorry. It’s one of the pitfalls of a decentralized system without consolidated ownership: any of the nodes could fail at any time and the responsibility of bringing it back up is the sole job of that node owner.

The post title is editorialized. The actual article had nothing to do with Linux.

Again, naive. People in underprivileged communities would struggle to even turn a computer on properly. Using Linux? Nice ideal, but not gonna happen.

Imagine paying for bigger uploads on Discord when Mega is free.

Antiperspirants use aluminum. Standard deodorant does not.

To be fair, infinite rare fish also means this, maybe even more so.

Sir, this is Lemmy. The correct terms are “fuck cars” and “capitalism bad”.

You mean fuck cars, fuck capitalism, look how cool Lemmy is?

This fuckin’ guy.

Vivaldi is my daily driver. It has the best tab-management, dark website-mode (hidden function), build-in tracker, pop-up & ad-blocker, RSS-Reader, e-mail client, site-hibernation and much more.

You forgot excessive RAM usage 🤮

Those many stupid people are paying for your gmail.

The true reality from someone who works in this space is that every company with an intelligent marketing department uses an email service specialized to help market to a customer file filled with email addresses with preferences tailored to each customer, and marketing campaigns are designed days or weeks in advance and scheduled to go out on a rolling basis. Email addresses that get queued up for some sort of email campaign are already “locked and loaded” to some degree and are not designed to be unraveled to remove one random unsubscribe request. Since the email providers receive client updates perhaps once a day to fill campaign lists, your unsubscribe as a rule will not immediately sync to be removed from any future campaigns you’re not already signed up to receive. On top of that, syncs can and do fail, however infrequently. This means that if there is a technical issue with the connection of some sort, it can take a day or two to resolve. A heavy marketer may still send a couple emails to a customer that unsubscribed while that sync issue is being repaired.

tl;dr: Most companies remove you from email campaigns within a day. 7-10 days is CYA language in case something goes wrong.
