I already knew that we're fucked. But scientist said more around 2050 or something. The way things are progressing right now the next 10 to 20 years are going to be dicey.

I actually did that for a while (on my PC at least). Major pain in the ass unfortunately.
Of course it's good to block that crap, but usability takes too much of a nose dive. I do live in the EU though, so when it comes to data protection things have gotten a lot better in the last years.
Install Firefox (also works on mobile!), add uBlock Origin (also available on mobile!), done.

Google says that's roughly 120 hours, oof.
I've been playing video games for the last 27 years or so. If a game isn't starting to be fun in the first few hours it's usually not worth sticking with it. For example anyone saying "The game starts at max level!" totally missed the point in my opinion, if everything before that is shit, why have it at all?
Btw. if you do slog it through ARR, what happens if you make a new character to play a different class? Do you have to go through it again?
Considering you don't find Discord server logs on Google I'd say: No.
Discord is its own thing.
Google results have been down the drain for years, the only reasonable results I found were by appending reddit or site:reddit.com. Now even that is gone :-/
Sheesh. I heard FFXIV is really good later in the game. But you first have to get over a 60 hour bump or something?
I did try it out and barely lasted a few hours. So many boring cutscenes, so much running from NPC to NPC. And barely any combat, the quests were like "Run 3 minutes over there, kill 3 enemies, then run 3 minutes back to the NPC". It was tough :-/
Discord actually has "Forum" channels that work like Reddit. You can create posts and search for them. So if you use Discord right you could more or less recreate Subreddits inside a single Discord server.
Not a fan of them moving to Discord instead of Lemmy, but anyway, fuck Reddit.
If they had just recreated a no-bullshit Twitter, got all the companies and celebrities to switch, it would have been a slam dunk. At least for 99% of users (I'm not touching a Meta product with a ten foot pole if I can avoid it).
Get all the users, have a decent Twitter clone, then ramp up the ads and sponsorships afterwards.
Instead they pushed it out half baked and shitty on purpose so they can shove ads into your face right away.
Who wants to bet they got Russian money in their pockets?
Good joke.
You know what happens if a customer complains your website doesn't work in Chrome? A bug ticket is raised, goes to a developer and they fix the "bug" so it works again.
If the developer is good they'd also make sure their "fix" doesn't break the website for Firefox and Safari. But there are plenty of developers who only test Chrome and call it a day.
Chrome is the default browser nowadays, if it doesn't work in Chrome you have a problem. The developer might blame Google, but the user and management won't care.
