Alternativeto is a great resource but those summary paragraphs can be ignored. Scroll down a bit and you can see user reviews for each suggested alternative.

5 different websites telling me this doesn’t seem like good cybersecurity either.

Didn’t realize the N word was family friendly lol

We can circle back to this debate when anonymity is the weapon in a mass murder.

Plenty of people do that with their personal information on full display.

In what way is anonymity bad on the internet?

I have never heard of this, thanks for sharing!

So I went to bitly’s website to see if I could find anymore info here. It looks like most of bitly’s paying customers are businesses that generate QR codes and links that can use custom domains. Since these businesses are already paying customers, anyone using those accounts shouldn’t see ads, but those businesses’ customers probably will! Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems like bitly will inject ads into their customers’ customers screens. If I was one of these business owners I would be pissed lol.

I’ve no doubt most if not all Lemmy users will never buy into a paid bitly subscription. But does anyone here at least know of someone who does, or has a similar subscription? Who would need that? Is bitly so essential to some people that they would pay for an ad free experience? I’m not programmer but I had an interest in it once. Building a URL shortener is one of the most basic programs beginners can get into. There must be hundreds of services for shortening URLs. I know that’s a lot of questions but I find this so intriguing.

I won’t share it because it could be used to link my Lemmy account to my real life identity, not because you could use it to access my account.

Is this also not a good reason to not set up auto pay in the case of data breaches? Sure it may not be connected to your lemmy account, but does no other personal info about you link to that data?

It costs the landlord to take online payments

No, it costs the tenants.

Good to hear. I tried to start with 1, but just can’t do with those controls.

Looks like Publix

Walking Dead season 3 was weird because Clementine went from being a sweet and timid kid to being a shoot first ask question later, fuck everybody kind of person. She’s very hostile to the player character in 3. You don’t see any transformation as to why her personality changed so much. I kind of get it, she’s growing up into a teenager in a post apocalyptic zombie infested world. But then you start the 4th game and she’s much closer to who she was in the first 2 games. It’s hard to imagine anything she did in the 3rd game as being canon

I love Turtle WoW! It feels like one of the last MMOs that really encourage working with other players

When I create a world for the first time it might take a couple minutes, but after the initial creation it’s really quick to load up a game

Your UI looks like you’re using iOS. In the app store, at the bottom of the page for each app is a list of items available for purchase in the app. You can look at that list before even deciding to download anything. Sometimes the listing’s are vague and just say something like “membership”. In that case, for a language learning app, you can assume it is to unlock “certificates”.

I’m glad it’s going easy for you. Unfortunately after 3 hours of trying I still haven’t gotten mint cinnamon installed yet. Bitlocker has been a pain to disable. I’m determined to get it working though, I’m really tired of microsoft

Reminds me of The Office when Michael Scott implies he brushes his teeth faster than a guy in a wheel chair lol
