I honestly don’t see how I’m contributing to anything when I’m running Whatsapp with tracking turned off. Those are facts.

As you are as well by being on Lemmy. Just stop with the fear mongering. You claim ads. I don’t see ads. The goal posts keep moving.

Or just do your job according to employee guidelines.

Btw, my PC has 32gb of ram where WhatsApp is using 320MB.

I don’t have Facebook or Instagram. I use WhatsApp to communicate with my family that are a mix of iOS and Android. I have never seen an ad. As I posted, my WhatsApp uses about 320MB of ram. I have nothing to be outraged about.

I use Whatsapp every day and I’ve never seen an ad. There’s no need to be so condescending.

How is using Whatsapp for free funding anything?

Can I at least get my bait back?

I have found every single PC of mine has benefitted from running Win11. Even those that don’t meet the criteria. It’s a solid OS.

I run 32GB and I still run a swapfile. My ssd is still going after 3 years, but everything dies.

It’s something I’ve always done. I pick an app. ie: Firefox but then at some point I’ll go to the alternative to see if it has something I might have missed. This way I can evaluate it myself rather than rely on someone else’s bias. I’ve been using Edge for about 3 months now, and it really isn’t that bad. I’m going to try Brave next.

As I mentioned earlier, I use the free version of Claude to help me with automations and dashboards in Home Assistant. It really is an incredible tool.

I don’t know what that means. How much TEAM my PC has? You saw what Edge was using. This PC, which basically is a boy doing a man’s job, has 32GB of RAM. It runs all of my ‘ARR’ apps.

I just don’t see the issue with Whatsapp. It runs perfectly fine of my crappy HP I7 7700 PC.

Explanation of ‘Yacht Rock’

But they’re not all BS. Yacht Rock is complete BS. Rick Beato says it far better than I.

Your friend has disabled the swap file. Never a good idea.

The screenshot is from my $300 HP Elite Desk 4. It doesn’t support Win11, but I installed it anyway.

Oh, you meant Claude. I use the free version to help me write automations and dashboards for Home Assistant. I have never given Anthropic a dime.

I have a chamberlain (also crap, but for different reasons) that allows Amazon drivers to deliver packages inside the garage.

Canada Post usage is down to less than half. An average household receives two pieces of mail a week. The service, as it is currently funded, is not rational. It is over staffed and hugely overpriced.

I’m just saying someone that educated doesn’t typically speak like that. I think (like, an opinion) the story misquoted him.

My last house had a community mailbox. Current house has door to door. I have setup an automation using a window sensor that sends a notice to my phone when I get mail. I’m sure I’ll survive without that.

It was a joke, I also get notices for real estate sales in the area.

Just look at the numbers. People don’t use CP anymore. The service needs to be rationalized to stay relevant.
