As if there weren’t enough money behind Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft is about to buy them. You might as well wish for the oceans to dry up.

What announcement? Your Nitter link doesn’t work

Are you talking about accepting payment, or a card for use as a company spending account? I think most answers so far are assuming you’re talking about accepting a card type as payment for your goods and/or services.

But all the Musk bros told me he’s a “free speech absolutist”

Pretty sure it’s an old businessman thing. “Go for (my name)!” in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.

Right? That’s like giving your age in days. “Oh, I’m a little more than 15,000 days old.”

Brave users remind me of Joe Rogan bros. I wonder what that Venn diagram looks like.

1Password is good from what I understand, but yes it’s expensive compared to the competition. It just… is, and they don’t mind because they’re going primarily after enterprise business.

BitWarden is pretty much the leader in the field and has been for some time, not counting self-hosted only apps e.g. KeePass.

Not to mention, the Premium plan only costs $10/year or $1/month. I used the free version for sharing passwords with my SO for years until I wanted to start storing TOTP codes, which requires premium.

Don’t get me wrong, a pihole is good to have for anyone who has the competency to set one up. They’re not the answer to stopping people from sharing AMP links, is all.

Because a pihole doesn’t stop people from sharing AMP links, it only prevents you from viewing them. So it’s probably not a good answer to give when someone recommends that other people not use AMP links.

Would you then advocate that no one should ever use the words “idiot”, “moron”, or “cretin” ever again? What about “dumb”, or “stupid”?

(edit) - People are fun. They actually believe that no human should ever want to throw insults at another human ever again. Fascinating.

Does having a pihole somehow stop people from posting AMP links?

Correct. Ultimately it’s up to each person how much they want to extend themselves into the Fediverse. You really can’t follow everything everywhere all the time, so you need to pick what you want your feed to consist of.

I’ve subscribed to any redundant tech / IT security related communities no matter how many of them there are, because I always want to stay current on any news that could impact the network environment I manage.

On the other hand, I like seeing some memes, but memes@lemmy.ml will absolutely flood your front page if you subscribe to it, so I stick to a few smaller meme subs like starwarsmemes@lemmy.world, risa@startrek.website, and lotrmemes@midwest.social.

Everyone’s going to say No, and “just subscribe to the most active one”, but if you’re a ‘Fediverse completionist’ and want to ensure that there’s not a single thing you miss anywhere at any time, then the answer is Yes.

I feel like this post is basically saying “our hammer isn’t a hammer because we put a really nice grip on it and it’s being wielded by a very nice person”. At the end of the day, it still drives a nail.

Just because there’s a cultural difference doesn’t mean it isn’t the same type of social media tool. Simply call it a better form of Twitter and be done with it.
