Really don’t think it was made to be useful or practical in any way, just seems like some dude making shit that looks cool for funsies and trying to fund it, plus i mean its culturally relevant and stuff like that is in tons of media

“Most notorious” illegal shadow library sued by textbook publishers [Updated] in c/[email protected]

every dollar prevented from going to cengage or pearson is a win for college students

but their online homework and grading subscriptions that they tie in with textbooks is definitely making it harder, especially the way they pay off schools to push their texts and curriculum on professors in stem fields, it’s awful and puts students in a position where they’re forced to pay for a textbook regardless

Search engines compared in c/[email protected]

anecdotal but i ended up switching from ddg and searxng to brave because of how much more relevant and well structured i found their search results to be so i’m not sure i agree with the findings for that column

absolutely hate the company and am skeptical of their practices, but even considering all that their search toes the line of privacy and functionality better than some others, at least in the case of a daily user who needs a service that lies somewhere in the middle of those 2 extremes

How did you guys use reddit and discord? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

lol the absolutism of people in privacy communities can be really be so unhelpful and tonedeaf at times

For discord there’s a couple things that can increase privacy to some degree, OpenAsar has some options related to privacy and tracking and will speed up load times, no clue how effective the anti-tracking feature is though. You could also use modded or 3rd party clients, I remember hearing about Powercord back when I used discord more and Replugged seems to be the continuation of that project. I also remember hearing of clients that basically simplifies the app to an IRC client with a super basic gui, I’ll edit if I remember the name

Not at all, from my experience they teach you how to use the websites and programs needed to complete assignments and nothing more, same went for teachers and faculty who would have no idea how to do things like change inputs on displays, turn on projectors, tell the difference between online and local versions of software, etc
