    Just means I’ll have the shittiest Chromebook I can buy used, for access to the sites you just listed, and my Linux laptop for everything else. If their non-financial, non-commerce site won’t let me in with my adblocking Linux machine, I just won’t go there. There will be lots of site still, run by us, that don’t do this shit, and they’ll get my traffic.

        They already do that from my Android phone, and I’m sure as hell not going Apple. Linux phones aren’t there yet, maybe in a few years, but I’ll still need an Android phone for the same reasons I’d need a Chromebok, bank apps will never support Linux phones. And yeah, like everybody said, VLANs. I already have one for untrusted IoT devices, I’ll just spin up another for Chromebooks.

            It’s true, but you can say that about almost anything. For example, for the “average” user lemmy is confusing compared to reddit.

            Besides, I’m just talking about how I tackle diseases inside my network, not what the average user should do.

              Creating an account on lemmy.world is not much more difficult than creating one on reddit. Configurating VLANs is another story.

                I have a router that can do it. Then I realized it felt like work to learn it so I stopped.

      Google Exec: “But you did buy it, yes?”

          My thoughts on buying used Nintendo games. Love the IPS hate how Nintendo treats people. I’ll gladly buy the new Pokémon game from you for 2 quid less than retail.

        Also gotta make sure it doesn’t “expire” or be the sucker buying ewaste that’s “no longer supported”
