with the armband as well it seems like kind of a dogwhistle

cool can you point me at the repo for their server software then? and the f-droid reproducible build of their android app, or the sideloadable iOS app?

total snakeoil

this cold war propaganda belongs in a museum

if you think that a videogame with a gay character is “promotion of homosexuality” and “grooming”, but you don’t think the same about a videogame with a hetero character, then I would ask you why, and why you think that isn’t textbook homophobia.

I’m --><-- close to just deleting OARS completely

Don’t threaten us with a good time Hughsie

the definition of enshittification is absolutely about money, it doesn’t just mean “making things worse”

totally fair to be upset IMO. spare a thought for my friend whose gym rolled out mandatory fingerprint scanning for entry, then mandatory facial recognition a few months later (they cancelled their membership)

i chose to read the 41 words of your comment instead 😌

yeah with this much effort folks could set up a jellyfin server and an entire piracy stack jfc

if only Facebook had started in 2004 and not 2024 we might have some historical evidence about how the company handles moderation or community safety or protecting user data or…

if only threads wasn’t launching literally today and we knew if they’d enthusiastically welcome hate accounts like Libs of Tiktok https://www.mediamatters.org/libs-tiktok/timeline-impact-libs-tiktok-told-through-educators-health-care-providers-librarians

last time I checked, IMAP/SMTP required not only a paid account, but running Protonmail’s proprietary bridge app

protonmail is also proprietary.

that said, gmail is surely a terrible recommendation

The entire concept of “quantum” is that it’s the smallest possible unit.

A “quantum leap” is the smallest measurable change in electrical charge.

The Planck length, based (it’s a long story, links below) on that smallest possible charge, is around 1.61×10−35 m. (That’s 0.00…00161, with about 31 more zeroes). Which is about as much societal/technical progress as I think Apple has made.

it’s a “quantum leap” only in the original scientific meaning of “the smallest distance something can possibly move”

Wikipedia is hilariously biased, especially on any politics or history topics.

here are extensive lists of complaints of bias, from both left- and right- wing alternatives:

not the person you’re replying to but yes, anyone on an unpatched server is vulnerable

all of your downvotes - many more than the person you’re replying to - are for trying to claim that a system that’s functioned as a pyramid scheme for most of its existence is not a pyramid scheme.

how much cryptocurrency do you have?

sure, I wouldn’t say no if airbnb instituted a global 2-address-per-person policy 🤝

but not everyone’s “inhospitable for over half the year” is the same, I know more than one person whose local community has been basically destroyed by second home owners, there were plenty of people wanting to live in those places full-time but they were priced out.
