They deleted my Reddit account for me long time ago, I'm ahead of all of you.
newzit.com for international news, Polsat News for Polish/sport news and Slashdot for tech news. I add them to RSS whenever possible.
I use them constantly on laptop with GNOME. It makes it easier to switch windows with touchpad. On desktop I don't use them so often, because I forget about them.
Most sites still send domain name in clear text. You can see it in Wireshark or PCAPDroid. You need VPN if you don't want your ISP to see the sites you visit.
It supported torrent for ages, but it has only one tracker that doesn't really have very much content. Now qBitTorrent or something else supports it out of the box.
I2P is very slow, slower than Tor. Maybe after more people join, it will be faster. Last time I tried it was painfully slow to even load most eepsites.
If you don't buy no-name brand phones, you will get at least one major update. Even chinese brands such as xiaomi will provide updates. You can also install generic LineageOS image if your phone can be unlocked some way, official or not. It works on most devices.
But many smart TVs become useless very quick. When I was using 2015 phone in 2020, TV newer than that already loaded the lightweight Google version for unsupported browsers and vast majority sites/apps became unavailable. It used browser that was already 2 years old when it was released and never released an update to it. But when there was root vulnerability, they released a fix after long time of being basically unsupported.
I was using Flatpak and Toolbx exclusively until I discovered Nix. It's much better than using those two.
Nothing. Everything your instance has is your IP address (mostly useless) and password hash (also mostly useless). Everything you have here is public. Maybe except your settings, like light/dark mode.
I use Gitea as project hosting and personal wiki. I also host Nextcloud for files and news and Jellyfin for movies and music.
In this order.
If there's no such thing as authentication when you view posts, you have no privacy anyway. Everything you post online can be seen by anyone and archived anytime. It's not like you have privacy when you post now.
Only real threats of Threads federation are EEE and server overload. Not the people from there or privacy. If someone wants to see some content you don't want to see, like some opinion you don't like, they should be able to see it. I don't understand why there would be such list, it would be pure censorship and waste of time. I have heard Threads has a pretty good moderation, so that solves this problem anyway.
I don't get what would defederating with Facebook-federated instances gives you, though.
But you know, it's literally #1 on the charts and it has AI. I must try it!
How else manage resources? You want everybody to be equally poor, like under communism? Maybe except the ruling party. You have no alternative.
On lineageos also just pegasus. Only thing that makes it better than stock android is that you have more chances for security patches. Dumno about graphene, it has some additional protections, but still susceptible to some vulnerabilities of android.
Pulling out the plug would certainly work, and not just for vim.
On kbin it counts as two upvotes to the reputation points and it shows the posts you boosted on your profile. Dunno about Lemmy.
Enough people are used to the proprietary apps, so it doesn't matter for them. 0,01% of users flowing to other protocols for just part of their conversations isn't going to hurt them.
I think that for Lemmy and Linux the problem is actually in the people using it. Without people using it, they won't be many posts/good software support. Without the posts/support there won't be many users. It's not some UI being different, or anything else. It's the main issue. When you see lemmy.world frontpage (All, not Local), there are 15 threads about Reddit and Lemmy, 2 about Twitter limits and the rest is about tech. Meanwhile, on r/popular you have variety of communities, still mostly memes and videos but there are also other posts.
It's more about reddit that reddit is. You can't make it long-term with this type of content. On other instances it's more bearable, but it's still not enough to keep people here.
Most of them aren't profitable, especially twitter and reddit. YouTube is also doing it now, they're going after adblocks. They even threatened invidious recently.
But tbh discord change is for good. It's easier to invite someone, especially if they have special chars in nickname.
@hyperspace You have the icon on the right of the header bar. It shows a bullet list. Hover it and click "Subscribed".
Kbin (and Lemmy) needs something to combine several magazines into one. Currently, there are many magazines spread over several instances. There's no way to just view or subscribe to them at once. You need to check them separately. If there were multi-magazines, new user could just search for someone's multi- and don't get confused by the ten other communities that often are empty.
Is there a chance that it will be ever implemented? It's one of kbin biggest blocks from getting popular.
I requested account deletion and it's on queue now. How do I cancel if, when it's still not processed? I didn't get any email about that, so I think it's not about mail confirmation.
Why isn't the deletion automatical process? Like on other websites, where you just click "Delete account" and it's done? From what I understand, on kbin it's manually reviewed.
When former Samsung executive Choi Jinseog won a contract with Taiwan's Foxconn in 2018, he tapped his former employer's supplier network to steal secrets to help his new client set up a chip factory in China, an indictment by South Korean prosecutors alleges.

Prigozhin defended his so-called "march for justice" by insisting he had no intention of overthrowing Vladimir Putin's government - and claimed it was abandoned to avoid bloodshed.

Open-source ChatGPT client for Windows 3.1 and later (16-bit and 32-bit). Works natively, no proxy required.
How do those projects write open-source drivers for proprietary hardware legally? I know that there's "clean-room" reverse engineering, but is it really a requirement? From what I understand, you can write docs about how the hardware works and then the other team can write a software based on that documentation.
What if the new software is just implementing the necessities for compatibility and other than that is a different product? Is it still illegal for just one team to do that?
