Don’t. Either order from a big chain or don’t order at all.
Choose a different restaurant?
Just walk to the store and order in-store?
Why? Why would anyone do that?
Use uBlock. Sponsorblock. DeArrow. Privacy Badger. Peertube. Yt2009. Ytdl. Vanced. Newpipe.
Append site:reddit.com to the end of each search. Use udm14. Try ddg or searx or any one of the many search engine alternatives.
Sir this is the internet. It’s always been this way.
Image credit and culture of copyright and corporate capitalist scum are to blame for most shitty things on the internet, defending this shit makes you deserve the misery you helped create.
2002 called.
Not your problem.
Cuckold.
Ewww. Imagine corporate social media unironically.
Networking as in, computer networking? Depending on the exact application there may be tons of FOSS alternatives.
If not, then stop being a corpo bootlicker and don’t “”“network”“”. Problem solved.
Uhmmm, why would you do that? Rarbg exists for a reason. 1337x. Rutracker. VLC. Wanna go fancy? NAS or a simple old dell optiplex or a laptop. Debian. Qbittorrent-nox. Docker. Jellyfin. JBOD of old scavenged HDDs.
Firefox & uBlock Origin fixes this issue on Android.
Find a different recipe. This shit was always mostly ctrl+c/ctrl+v spam. Use a waybackmachine.
Turn automatic updates off. Never a problem on android (Pixel, not reskins).
Alternatively: Don’t use a phone.
Don’t use Gmail.
Don’t use TVs.
I thought GenZ/Millennials were past owning TVs?
Don’t use it.
Don’t use it.
Don’t.
No.
So fat,
they put her
Use 12ft.io. archive.is etc etc.
Turn off notifications for shopping apps. Block all ads.
Most of the internet is American, most websites are American, most people speaking English are American. Us stinky euros will always be secondary characters. It’s Pax Americana age baby, I’m sorry you were born in the shit (I’m UK atm so def true for me).
Why not just have them send it to you as text files? Screenshots? Why are they hosting it on a paid third party website if they want it to be accessible? Why not self-host?
Or just download it?
All problems are user’s own. Yes enshittification sucks. You’re free to disconnect as much as you can.
Wait, is rarbg back? It was taken down a while back, did someone actually resurrect it?
It sucks and I like it that way!
Blaming the user and saying there are alternatives really doesn’t work.
If you don’t stand up against Pixel phones getting enshittified, then Fairphones are also going to get enshittified. If you don’t stand up against U.S. airports getting spying facial recognition, then U.K. airports are also going to get spying facial recognition because they now know that nobody will give a shit.
Now Firefox is also getting enshittified, because just look at the most popular web browser. Google Chrome is literal spyware and they get no actual pushback, and are instead getting rewarded so Firefox copies it.
So, for example, instead of saying “Stop moaning about Netflix and torrent your movies even though you might get arrested if you don’t have good opsec in countries with strict copyright laws.”, push back against those changes. Boycotting works, telling your friends and family how Netflix is fucking them over without putting the blame on them works, even a Mastodon post works. But a half-assed response to an obscure article that blames the user doesn’t work.
It doesn’t matter, there were plenty of people who gave a shit about a law in the UK that made protest legality be at discretion of the government and it still passed. The people are increasingly powerless, and most people don’t understand and don’t want to understand anyway.
They’ve been getting pushback since like the 2010s. It hasn’t changed shit.
Doesn’t matter they’ll pass anyway because most people just take it.
Lmao. Isn’t that literally what I’m proposing too though? Boycotting all that tech, hoping that en-masse that’s enough to stop the tide?
Spoiler: they don’t care
No normal person has left twitter.
Most people aren’t even aware how shitty Elon is or what he’s done to the platform quality and algorithm wise, they stay away from politics and scroll memes.
One of my normie IRL friends was trying to prove to me - a trans person - how twitter is actually good and hasn’t changed much. I never used twitter much but I had a blocklist 10k+ of shinigami reds by the time I abandoned ship.
Imagine explaining to that same guy the more nuanced slow early stages enshittification of Reddit.
The man doesn’t even get Reddit, I don’t mean he doesn’t like it but I think he straight up doesn’t understand it. His perception of it is that it’s some kind of nerd platform where people write long paragraphs about stuff and the surface level understanding of “argue on the internet” and that’s lame and he’ll go all “redditor” at seeing a video longer than 30s or more than one paragraph of text, though the irony of him also using it for every Google search doesn’t seem to bother him at all.
The fediverse is beyond most people I reckon. So are all the things I said. So is the concept that some corpo is fucking you over or the concept of free software or the free and open internet. It’s all over, the dream is over.
Being a doomer is good and all but it doesn’t accomplish anything either. I agree with your points too, and am aware that what you’re proposing is boycotting, but the way you propose it is not the way, as per the video I linked.
At this point, I guess we just do what we can do and try to have
blindoptimism.I don’t really give a shit what Rossman thinks and I don’t owe anyone “good activism” and especially not according to his opinion. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good dude and all, I have nothing against him.
But imo, the time for “activism” has long passed, if people weren’t onboard with it after the past 10 years of “activism” and things have only gotten worse I don’t see much point in it. I’d rather scream into the void, harmonizing with the faint echo chorus of downvotes.
Okay, I guess. Have a great rest of your day.
You too.
Unfortunately, you’re suggesting some technical workarounds for the non-tecnical problem.
You instantly lost me at order from big chain. No thank you.
Why not? I’ve never really had any serious issues with them tbh like the order experience is always fine and it’s usually cheap as hell (£12 for a large pizza here in the UK from Dominos or PJs, obvsly no tipping either and tax is in price), and if they don’t deliver you can always get a refund. All the smaller restaurants are usually immigrant traffickers or ghost kitchens here nowadays.
You’ve never eaten a real pizza if you’re listing domino’s
I’ve had tons of independent pizza, idk maybe it’s worse in the US because it’s only Americans that seem to say this but Domino’s is fairly uptown here
(USA) Having eaten at Dominos, Papa Johns, and a large selection of local places only one local place was worse then Dominos. The rest were all light-years better.
Either US local pizza chains are unbelievably good, or your dominos is HFCS crap
From AU myself. Domino’s pizza is bland, dry and tiny. The only people I see eating domino’s is foreign exange students
🤷♀️ everyone eats it here honestly
