It's a company who makes them and their partners lots of money, any company you see pushing HP products is just as shady as them. They've been riding their brand recognition for at least a decade.
Then right before their EOL's they push all their old stock for pennies and suddenly everyone has a HP product and they don't complain for the most part cause they got them dirt cheap.
I never thought that either. It's a joke, relax.

I'm not judging anyone for not knowing the risks of algorithmic news, and I get how we got there. Journalism as a whole changed by it, so many news articles are engagement bait now. It's becoming so hard to find uplifting news, that's why I liked reddit and now lemmy too. People make a genuine effort to find uplifting news.
Diversification has always been the answer, proven by a second uprising of RSS.
I'm so incredibly proud of my government for using SolidPods to store citizen data. Something our northern neighbours should've done too apparently. That's a scary article.
GDPR should prevent any tomfoolery, but if I was dutch I'd be pretty scared atm.
I'd add that Social Media kind of took over this role for most regular users
I agree, and that fact scares me tbh. But that's more of a privacy concern with social media and less an adventage of RSS. Some RSS feeds do require you to click through for the full article, having another opportunity for tracking.
I've asked some DJ's what radio they listen too and NTS has been unanimously answered. Very good variety, playlist for any mood and discovery is great as well.
I always wonder if the deepfry is artificial or by natural causes, its like modern day hieroglyphs
Must've missed it, damn that's pretty cool thanks!
Trying to access blocked content is still a major red flag, and there's over 500 instances on lemmy atm. I wouldn't risk it.
Mine is setup like that as well, but IIRC it's only for thumbnails. When you open an image, it's requested from the original server.
Browser pre-loading does DNS requests and sometimes even loads the full page in advance without even clicking a link, for faster load times. So it all depends on your app/browser/instance combo.
Amazing, thank you for sharing. Although since Macklemore didn't censor anything, uncensor that title.
