I've never had ads in Sync for Lemmy, never paid a dime either. Started seeing a couple of ads since the last update.

I used to have the same issue. Turns out, it was fixed by a firmware update on my motherboard.

Hmmm I don't really know. You can try with this tutorial I found.

The way I did it, is I checked my motherboard's website, and saw they posted a recent firmware update.

I used to have some similar issues when playing games, and the cause of it was my motherboard's firmware. Maybe check and see if it is up to date?

Congrats on exercising even though you didn't feel like it!

Imo that's a very good way to get used to doing it, and in turn a way to get in shape (or whatever your goal is). Keep on keeping on!

To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you're using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels... off.

“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a "where have you clicked" report.

telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

There's just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.

this seems like applying the same rules to everyone equally

Though it can seem fair, applying the same rules to everyone equally can be very racist.

From what I understand, Cloudflare can block some DDoS attacks, but not all of them.

The attacks on Lemmy have to do with poorly optimized SQL requests; these are requests that shouldn't take long to execute, but do due to some oversight. By spamming these requests, the attackers can bring Lemmy on it's knees.

Actually, wouldn't this attack better be categorized as a DoS attack ? What's so distributed about it ?

If we were /c/World news, yeah the title would have been too US-centric then.
