I did the same using Mastodon for my blog, ended up switching to Disqus (shudders) just because it supports more SSO options for accounts that my limited readership is likely to have

Buy physical, dump the cart and then install it digitally to whatever damn device I please

Number 2 belongs in the trash

I don’t refrain from participating in Lemmy.ml community unless the mods of that community act like the admins do. The majority of users aren’t my issue with Lemmy.ml at least on the non political communities, it’s the admin’s suppression of opposition

I think hexbear started from chapotraphouse refugees when it got banned from Reddit. So it’s leftist but with the toxic culture from that.

Did he just call to say “Hey my name is Tim Cook, not Tim Apple” because I doubt that he would be able to have any kind of conversation more substantive than that with DJT

I buy Nintendo games but I don’t believe they have should have any right to block me from running their software that I’ve dumped myself on any device I see fit. How does that make me entitled when I purchased their software?

If you want, I can DM you. But I think the Lemmy.world defederated list is a fairly good starting point and then just block overly political subs if you get tired of seeing it.

The important thing about the fediverse is that you can federate with Lemmy but use an alternative platform. If you don’t like the devs of Lemmy there is mbin and piefed

Reddit has its own “left-lite” communities (called left lite because they definitely aren’t as far left as grad or ml) that are very popular and hit the front page constantly. The difference is that Lemmy leftists are intolerant of liberals (and vice-versa). Hopefully a bit better balance is struck here but I’ve been able to curate my feed to make liberal-leftist conflict less visible.

The professors in the US aren’t living in their cars because they pay isn’t adequate it’s because of the cost of the huge amount of student debt it takes to become a phd

Anon:

“I’m not going to vote because democrats aren’t communist which makes them basically republicans” - average Lemmy.ml user

Jk it’s actually something more like “I’m not going to vote because I’m European”

For productivity, the iCloud suite is getting up there. It still has a way to go to be as good as OneDrive and Google Drive imo. One important to me feature I like about Drive and OneDrive is that they don’t require you to download entire media files to be able to play them. I basically keep all my media on Google Drive for this reason. Excel and Sheets both have more powerful data formulas compared to numbers (or at least they have much better documentation on how to use them) so I prefer sheets over numbers.

iCloud is definitely getting there and if I didn’t have the niche specific needs I’d probably just stick with the 2TB family iCloud plan.

Yes that’s true. But also that’s the wink and nudge marketing claim that VPN marketers make while everyone knows the real reason you are using a VPN.

With HTTPS, DNS-over-HTTPS, and most endpoint firewalls dropping non-gateway traffic, the risk is a lot less than the VPN ad reads want you to believe

Most VPNs sell themselves on encrypting your traffic to an endpoint that either is in a different locale to get around region locks or to put it out of the grasp of the RIAA so they can’t send your ISP copyright notices.

While remote access to a local network is a good use case for a self-hosted VPN it’s totally unrelated to the use case for commercial VPNs

Isn’t that exactly what “Active” sort does?

Once a thread gets large enough, no one is going back to read the first page. Maybe for communities on Lemmy, “Active” is the sort method that would work the best as you’d describe, but sorting the comments/replies by votes seems the best method to make sure the most important knowledge is visible

Glad I hacked my switch before Nintendo all went to shit. I am done buying Nintendo products. (To be fair I will never have time to get through my back log anyway)

The use case is people who want pocketable, one handed phones. It doesn’t matter to me if they make another iPhone mini or an iPhone flip. Whichever one they release will be my next phone.

The last iPhone mini release was in 2021. I don’t want a near 7” pro max phone. 6.4” is too big in my opinion as well.

My PS5 was a waste of money NGL

I skipped PS4 so I at least got to play RDR2 for the first time. But it’s been a year since I’ve played it. It mainly gets used by 7 year old playing Rocket league and Roblox but otherwise I never play it anymore.

It’s mostly time but also the fact that the games are not good either. I’d never consider paying for PSplus
