Doesn’t look like it, but you can be the one writing one.

Why do people still host their stuff on github if they know its illegal?

How would you play a DRM-free game bought through steam without steam? (Genuine question)

Mullvad is the most private a VPN company can get. They literally accept cash by mail.

Mullvad is RAM only for a few months by now, no log since forever and regularly contributes to privacy related topics.

The thing is: you can’t trust a company when they say they are no log or RAM only. But you can trust what info you give them. Mullvad only has my IPs. No info about who I am otherwise. I send them 30€ twice a year and that’s it.

BUT: they don’t allow port forwarding anymore, if you need that, so they are not perfect.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

1. Embrace:

They implement ActivityPub and connect to all the available servers. A load of new users will see the content here and all the communities here will be absolutely flooded with new content and users.

2. Extend:

ActivityPub will be extended. Many new features will be added, that don’t really match the standard, but they are mostly useful so some developers will try to add them to let’s say Lemmy. They won’t be blr to develop new features on their own and some stuff with threads will always be broken or half baked. Threads users will belittle the users here, some will maybe go there, cause it just works and is otherwise the same.
New users at the same time will most likely go directly to threads cause it’s backed by a giant company, always works and has more features.

3. Extinguish:

They will cut the federation.
Communities here will feel empty and most users will just leave. Only the hard core will stay and that won’t be sustainable. The fediverse becomes even less attractive for new users and will devolve into a niche community.

Sorry, but Looper is like the worst kind of time-travel movie. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

What is your comment supposed to mean?

I can’t speak for the country but those people were awesome!

If they were assholes, would you just bomb their country? Wtf?

A rental car from Sony?

Are you in the wrong thread? (I mean I responded to you but still…)

Yeah, but renting is not purchasing.

(Yes, I am fun at parties.)

Yes, and the farming industry is getting its dick sucked all year long. Each year they get money for their shitty returns because it was unforseen and animal rights get ignored.

A typical pig farm is controlled ever 30 years or so. Germany has like the most fucked up animal rights in the EU and exports their cheap meat (produces by exploited workers from other countries btw.) into the rest of the EU.

It’s a disgusting system really. Fuck those “poor” farmers. Yes. Their life is shitty, but they should just stop exploiting the planet and do something good instead. Maybe or politicians and the industry would then learn something.

I have rephrased the text.

Okay, I actually never tried that. Thanks.

Okay, I am intrigued and did not find anything right away. Can you give me a link?

Yeah, but I want to get rid of my wireless keyboard in favor of a small website/app for my phone.

Can I run Jellyfin on my laptop, but close it up and choose the video to watch via a different browser on my phone?

Of course. I donate to the Lemmy developers, Wikipedia and a few others.

But donating is kinda hard sometimes because I would really like a system, where dependencies also get some.
Take Lemmy for example. It’s built with rust and uses lots of crates (libraries). So why not give like 50% to Lemmy and the other half to the used crates. And those also split with their dependencies.

I don’t use obsidian. I use Joplin. It has nextcloud integration and works flawlessly.

For the rest (e.g. Tasks, Collaborate Office) I use DAVx5 and the nextcloud App to sync.

Doesn’t Nextcloud do all this?

I don’t really know, why it really HAS to be all that. I think that not a lot of people will have those specific set of requirements.

Also I really dislike the section about “solving not wanting to self host by making it federated” that is not how that works. Please host stuff yourself. Please support those who host your stuff. This part makes you sound cheap and stupid.

Earth just had its hottest year on record - and higher temperatures are to blame

Although I mostly agree with you, this is not true:

The “worst” they do is stop you from using windows update

The worst they do is practically force you to buy a windows license with most laptops and even some pre-built tower PCs.

Yes there are some vendors/manufacturers who don’t force you or ask, if you want an Ubuntu/Mint/Pop_!OS or smth. but most just don’t give a shit.
