sigh well.

I’d like to know who funded this “study”

Well. Officially you can opt out from crawlers of any kind. Just need to put the right code in a .htaccess file (if this is still standard. I didn’t code any production ready since 15 years).

But I have my doubts about that…

Definitely gone lower.

First of all 1 free coffee for everyone, to make everyone happy. Then increase taxes to a very ridiculous rate.

If it doesn’t work out. Steal the money and do it again somewhere else.

As a kid I ate a rowanberry. Believe that must have been it. Otherwise almost a carcrash on highway, when someone pulled over straight to the left lane, where we we’re to make space, when the vehicle entered the highway.

Yeah. I just know that forums aren’t a thing any more. Old fashioned browser games are rare.

Otherwise a lot of valuable news sites became clickbait ad bloated monsters. Only a few are still good.

But yeah… it gets easily overshadowed

Got ya. You can’t make people always agree with you. Sometimes your opinion is just unpopular. But it is important to speak with each other in a proper manner. Maybe we learn from each other.

Never go the way of people pleasing. Be kind and you will receive it.

Feel you. This is my home now.

Yup. Wikipedia is a good example for an instance that solely exists to support people.

There are plenty sites of this. Take a look at some websites that are teaching you skills without asking for money and so on.

That’s how I remember the internet. Sharing knowledge. Of course bigger sites need to make ends meet somehow and that fine with me. But as you already said - more more more.

Well. Those corporations took their money and threw it in. Basically fusions of different services. Besides that you have a lot of clickbaits and cheap stuff like dropshops and so on.

You gotta be very picky on what services you use. Lemmy f.e. is amazing for me. It does not feel like someone wants to get money off me.

The internet basically became what the analog world was before and it’s anything else than amazing.

Edit: in short terms: Capitalism took the internet from the people.

Lots are here. I joined a while ago on a different server and the content was slow. But by now it’s like always fresh content.

I can tell you the traffic rose up.

Absolutely agree. I am afraid of where capitalism will bring us one day If I am being honest.

Isn’t FFF already globally active?

Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. But it’s a free break :D

I have some huge files I gotta work with. Some access other office programs like Outlook.

Every damn time that thing is almost crashing. Also added that all the files are placed in a shared drive.

Any Microsoft App. Most annoying Excel. I’m working with it almost the whole day and some simple things can break it. Heck, when doing a bit more complex stuff, it brings my work computer to its knees. Like wtf.

Disable it by uninstalling.

Walking helps to get your mind free. I usually listen to a podcast and think a bit about what I’ve read. Trying to understand it.

I’m not a pro, but that usually helps a lot.
