Wastewater Operator. We have an older gentleman at my job who refuses to use computers at all. We still do everything with paper and pen. Nothing is digitized.

It would be far easier to start a populist movement that reigned in corporations. The problem with revolutions is you never know who's going to to end up on top at the end. Most likely the new regime will be just as bad as the old. I think what we actually need is more democracy. I like the idea of a democratic referendum that allows the people to force the government into action.

Can I get YouTube AdBlock and can I add custom filter lists?

I had a Nexus 10 they abandoned after two years. Made me never want to spend money on an android tablet again. Honestly I would probably switch to iOS if I could have ad blockers.

Yeah I think iPad's are clearly better than any android tablet.

Yeah I think In a year or two this will be just as good as Reddit, maybe better. Personally I prefer Lemmy, it reminds me of Reddit before it gained mass appeal. The important thing is now there is a viable alternative to Reddit. Everytime Reddit does something controversial, this site will gain a wave of new users.

I work a union job, most people never leave. Usually the old guys retire in waves though. They've all known each other for decades and don't want to have to have to train the next generation.

I've been using Bing chat allot. I got the extension that lets me use it on Firefox. It's insanely useful, and I feel like it's getting better with time as it learns. I still use DuckDuckGo for search though, although I've been using search less and less as Bing chat gets better.

Yeah to get a good ratio you basically need to get a seedbox which cost money anyway. Might as well just use Usenet. I have one private tracker I use I found the best thing to do is seed large obscure tvpacks. Also porn.
