I've switched to duck duck go and I'm working on leaving Gmail, but damn it's taking a while to update my email address everywhere, hoping after couple of months I won't have any Google products left in my name.

Totally agree, barely go on YouTube anymore because garbage videos are being pushed in my face, and hate browsing channels because of Shorts, and all the same sponsor segments everyone has, just boring.

Frigate is amazing, that's what I'd recommend. I'm using a 5MP Amcrest camera, works very well. The dev doesn't recommend Reolink.

Yeah definitely noticed that, just feels heavy and clunky clicking on anything, but I'm using Firefox so that probably doesn't help, Google not being the biggest fan.

I only hang out here, been spending way less time browsing online, which I'd say is a good thing. Been playing more video games, and even reading.

Also I'm curious about Discord, when people say they hang out there, do they just find a channel they like and keep up with the chat all day?

Just finished watching Peaky Blinders on Netflix, guess that was the last good show on there, now they keep pushing Beckham and reality shows in my face, like I care about that, can't find anything good. I've cancelled it.

I live in a moderately sized British town which is completely flat and would be perfect for cycling, but it's so car focused it's ridiculous. There used to be a cycle lane at some point but it's completely washed out and no one bothers to fix it. If you cycle anywhere you expect to be killed any moment, because people are annoyed by you and overtake by the smallest margin. Just recently there was this absolute bastard complaining in the town's Facebook group about people doing less than 60mph in the b-roads around town, the same b-roads that are super twisty and barely fit two cars side by side, and should really be 40mph.

Yeah I'll go Proton. Was going to go with Fastmail but then read that they're an Australian company, a Five Eyes country.

Better call Saul is the only thing I've been watching for the last couple of weeks, first time watching it.

I'm thinking that kbin might pick up speed since it's PHP, and the code base seems quite well organised.

It's obvious right, everyone is talking about this and McDonalds is loving it.

I deleted my Reddit account, so I'll stay here. Fediverse to me is how the internet should be, not owned by a corporation, I hope services like Lemmy and Mastodon get more popular.
