I have been using Brave browser with the crypto stuff disabled.
The mere fact that you have to "disable the crypto stuff" tells me all I nee to know about Brave Browser, and it's enough to ensure I'll never install it.

My personal subs that have been private for ages recieved messages saying they will inform me of "further steps" if I refuse to open them up.
One of them is /r/[myRedditUsername] that I use as a kind of scratch pad that I can access anywhere (I've since self hosted a wiki) that they are demanding I open up. Like seriously, no one would ever be interested in whatever is there.
They can get fucked. I deleted all of the posts and comments on all of my accounts and requested GDPR requests on all of them. reddit can get fucked.

in donations
I hate clickbait titles like this (directed at Herald not you OP). They intentionally leave out the "in donations" part in the headline to get people to click their bullshit.
Is there a way to automatically sync bookwyrm to calibre or (shudder) goodreads? I have a kindle and having to remember to go in and add my new books or progress is a bit of a pain.
I just wanted to add, in the official lemmy documentation they say to use a third party as well, not the instance itself.
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html?highlight=images#images-and-video
Note that this functionality is not meant to share large images or videos, because that would require too many server resources. Instead, upload them on another platform like PeerTube or Pixelfed, and share the link on Lemmy.
This also served as a good reminder to look into disabling image uploads on my instance. I can't afford a massive server for it to host other peoples images which is both size and resource intensive.
Oh that makes sense, the supermarkets I go to removed them ages ago. We have reusable cotton bags we use for supermarket items when they are needed.
I'm super glad to hear about the plastic stickers. I vaguely remember hearing about that before. It's a great change.
But then, if anything happened to that service (downtime, billing, ending of free services, etc etc), the images could be lost.
If anything happens to the instance you are uploading them to, they'll be gone as well.
My personal opinion is it's much better to offload images into a service meant for images. A lot of lemmy instances are put on very small servers, with very small resources (including drive space). It's not fair to the owners of those instances to upload a bunch of large images to them.
There are plenty of options out there for image hosting. https://imgbb.com/ or https://imgbox.com/ seem to be highly recommended.
I honestly thought it was already in place. So no new changes for us here.
I'll give you that one. Speaking of which, I should watch it again, I haven't done so this year yet.
I give ~$15/month total to a couple of creators I really enjoy. They put a lot of hard work into their videos for a relatively niche subject, and it's not much to me. It helps them a little so I don't mind doing it.
They aren't third party. They are buying Google Domains and all of the customers that come with it. If you don't like it, don't continue to use them. It happens every time a company gets bought out, the customers are part of that package.
