It's been a long time since I pirated over sneakernet. I shared a lot of music with friends that way though. I had an mp3 player with a big hard drive and it had a USB host port, so you could plug in a flash drive and copy files.

I doubt that will be true anymore. 12 will probably have even more spyware and ads than 11.

Anyone with a NAS will immediately notice that they are on 2.4GHz because it will take several times longer to transfer files.

SponsorBlock takes care of the sponsored segments in youtube videos. There are addons for blocking sponsored search results on amazon too.

You can do almost anything with a website that you could do with an app. The only reason they are pushing the apps so hard is because they can collect a lot more data than a website can.

Almost every Lemmy instance blocked threads.
