No, don’t rrmove it from the list. Make a note acknowledging the issue so others see it


One of the big takeaways I’m getting from this is that if I ever want to dodge surveillance, I need to cycle through a bunch of silly walks


My point is that you’re arguing that Russia (which is currently ruled by a genocidal, authoritarian regime and is trying to force all of its citizens onto state-controlled social media to monitor everyone) would be a good ally in the fight to keep E2EE alive.

The amount of cognitive dissonance in your comments is disturbing



I have to wonder if this a large portion of this is due to the monarchy being a significant part of theur national identity. While monarchies aren’t necessarily authoritarian, the two concepts are frequent bedfellows


The Mihon dev team has already announced that they’re going to get authorized and continue their work.

It’s… an interesting choice given what they’re working on, but they also took steps to stay legal


Not only that, you don’t need to provide any identifying information to them during signup. You can even pay them by sending cash through the mail




The inconvenience of switching and learning a new thing is the largest deterrent.

Honestly, oftentimes it’s not evem that, it’s the perception of learning being difficult.

I have some friends decided to pay hundreds of dollars to hire a plumber for something pretty simple to fix. As in, it’d take $50 and an hour once you factor in learning and practice runs. And they’re always complaining about not having money, yet they got mad when I told them how easy it was



It’s not letting me register. When I have my VPN turned off it can’t conbect to servers, and when I have it turned on I get swamped with recaptchas and the veriification code doesn’t send



Someone needs to develop an open source replacement for android auto and really stick it to Alphabet


And by doing so you’re normalizing your kids to surveillance, which is a big part of why privacy is being eroded


Firefox still doesn’t support tab groups on mobile. That’s a non-starter for me. Hopfully Ladybird has their shit better put together than mozilla when they finally release their browser



Maybe that will finally kill off the giant amorphous blob of human rights violations known as FIFA


Wireless android auto hasn’t worked with VPN’s for years. It’s because the service is now baked into the OS, preventing it from split tunneling.

Switch to wired and it’ll work



I’ve personally found the behavior of ‘clear’, spacing of buttons, and lack of customization capable of fixing those to be rather annoying. They’re the same complaints I have with Fossify’s calculator app. I’m currently using OpenCalc since they don’t have those issues.



Or do the sensible thing and minimize how many accounts you make on various sites because they’re bullshit, which also has the added benefit of giving you a small enough number of accounts that you can remember the passwords


Ah, yes, because self hosting is feasible for everyone

/s if that’s not obvious


Single point of failure and a separate entity has all of your passwords and you have to continue paying them or lose access to everything. Sounds like a terrible idea to me




If you have multiple TVs and are already considering a Jellyfin server, you could make it a Sunshine server as well. It’s the open-source replacement for GeForce Now, with Moonlight as the client-side software


Are you only wanting to emulate games with PCSX2 or multiple different emulators? If the latter, have you tried the automated install process of Emulation Station or EmuDeck? I haven’t dealt with PS2 games through it yet, but maybe the automated installers and configs will help?


I comment on Lemmy.World all the time via a VPN though. Maybe they don’t allow it for accounts on their instance?


OP is peddling misinformation because it’s not true that “Proton took the stance” of anything.

Except Proton’s official Mastodon account made another post afterwords doubling down on the CEO’s comments. They ended up taking down the post due to getting a ton of backlash




Most of these people probably only know of Linux from memes about needing a PHD to install a web browser.

And Linus has a tendency to feed into that misunderstanding instead of fixing it


I tried it last night and couldn’t get it to find specific addresses, particularly in rural areas. Any tips you’ve found?


Gotdamn, back-paddle buttons? Now I regret buying the Kong Pro 2 controller a year ago




The Lemmy data proves this - a minority of people may react in the heat of the moment but over time they will migrate back to the platform that everyone else is using.

Except it doesn’t. Whole sole people dropped off after 2-3 months, most of the active users stayed here.

Whether or not Lemmy has had a slight uptick in growth over the last couple of months was never the point I was making

You were claiming the Lemmy was dying and hemorrhaging users. That’s what I responded to, because the data shows otherwise.

If you make 3 claims in a thread and I refute claim #2, my response isn’t invalidated just because I didn’t address your other 2 points.

if you’d actually bothered to read my original comment or used your brain

Again, you’re over-relying on ad-hominem attacks. If you’re going to be like this you may as well go back to Reddut
