Fun fact: internet explorer was originally built off the File Explorer.

I kinda stopped following programming for windows a decade ago. But in sure there is some ancient code from 30 years ago that is holding some critical files together.

You nailed it!

What grosses me out is that to get all those features, I have to be okay with my video data potentially landing in the hands of some company using it train AI or something.

Eufy was caught recently doing that. (And it's my current solution for remote home camera system)

It's built off of OSM. Which is how it should be.

On Reddit, there was a post that outlined why this rando voted for Trump that had thousands of upvotes.

The major complaint was the constant noise about things like BLM, DEI, LGBTQ, defund the police and hating private prisons.

I can understand if this racist hates the first half. And I can understand if they also love sucking off cops.

But why the fuck would anybody support a private prison? Literally a company that makes money off of people being punished?

I say "Damn, Gina!" after the 90s Fox sitcom, Martin.

This is the way.

Finding other ways to get your media that doesn't blast you with ads.

Or if it always blasts you with ads, find a way to block them.

Don't let the terrorists win.

OP was asking about Normal people.

Of course non-normals ad block.

But I've seen my parents use their phone and ignore the 60% of ads take that over the screen.

I tip my bank teller, the canvasser with the clipboard in front of the supermarket, and the traffic light for turning green.

I didn't even notice the rape joke.

I read it as getting knifed.

I self-host and dabble with this stuff. Im an engineer for more than a decade.

But I really struggled to find a solution that has a really high uptime with minimal maintenance. Ive set up some raspberry pi projects, including cams. Why would I want video to transfer to some company?

But the trade offs were significant. Every few weeks, there was a new problem. Maybe my router. Maybe my internet. Maybe the Pi. Maybe something else. Maybe it's my VPN when I'm trying to dial into the network. Maybe it's my phone app no longer seeing the device. Maybe a update broke it. Maybe God hated me that day.

After six months and spending 2-3 hours a month maintaining it, I burned out and just bought an off-the-shelf solution with a mobile app.

Of course, I only use it for security and it doesn't exist in the house. It grosses me out, but it's been two years of plug-and-play and just working without setup.

You literally cannot search for Mastodon without getting a weird ass 2-paragraph manifesto about The Fediverse.

End users just want to use shit.
