I prefer it TBH. things are easier to reach and suit a phone better than what was essentially the desktop app squeezed onto a phone.

So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍

Imagine thinking Jon Stewart of all people wouldn’t talk about certain political situations. Apple TV + looks like it won’t last long if all their content is pandering to Winnie.

Disclaimer: pretty new to Lemmy a federation (older than this account though).

From what I gather, defederation is supposed to be a function of this whole system, but intended to cut off whole instances that refuse to moderate or are active cesspools. In saying that, I don’t understand Beehaw cutting off two of the other biggest instances. I know they have a weird mentality over there of no downvotes and saw some odd conversations condemning someone’s political views while admitting to not know the person at all (dafuq?).

It seems to me it would make more sense to block a single community rather than the whole instance.

Maybe they want a walled garden, but as new people come in and want as much content as possible to show that this is a better venue than Reddit, to me they give off the wrong message.

Am I mistaken somehow? Anyone able to enlighten me?

This is good, but a bit late for me. I already moved to Bitwarden for passwords and 2FA. I also don’t expect this to work on my Linux PC.

Having read this, I get what they’re going for, but also question the venue a bit.

With Lemmy being about federation, it sounds like they want to have a de federated mini Lemmy to themselves where they can decide who is allowed in or not. Not that that is a bad thing, if there’s a demand for it, but I think it’s different than what every other instance is about and maybe would be better as something like a Discord server (or FOSS alternative).

Again just my 2c, I just know I’m looking for a better quality alternative to Reddit, and an isolated instance isn’t my cup of tea.

“It’s not personal, but several spineless ass lickers want to impress a 4 time indicted, civilly liable rapist wannabe dictator, so we are holding the fate of your people to ransom”.

This seems kinda scummy. If someone breaks TOS then ban the one account. I’ve seen for years now people bringing up jellyfin, knew it was coming when I saw this headline. I never tried it because I have iOS devices and an Apple TV, but now I see there are 3rd party apps for jellyfin on iOS/tvos. I may try it out, move if it satisfies my needs.

Of course this is possible. Is it practical? Nope. There is already so much data harvested by the likes you Google and Facebook that they can tell what you like, what videos or articles you read, what you share, in some cases who you talk to. Importing a shit ton of audio data is pointless, they already know what you like.

Wow, it’s almost like those free channels the put all over my Plex that nobody wants was was a bad investment. Still love Plex as a service but I find it hard to see any value in FAST.

Why ISPs need to be neutral. Musk was never elected or appoints be a general. Otis not his place to decide what strikes happen or not. The blood of the people those ships have attacked are now on his hands.

What more can you need?

I still think Starlink can be a great service for rural areas, but it seems they need to improve their capabilities first. Which in a way makes a chicken-egg scenario. If they expand servers to handle all those people, they should be eligible for a grant, but they don’t wanna do it until they get the grant.

They probably won’t ever stay fully out, since anyone can make an instance, just up to mods and individuals to block them and not federate with obvious natzi communities.

As someone that really enjoys his videos, I hope they’re not gone forever. I somewhat doubt they will be though. Maybe he will go back to an upload every 6 months or year after his break. I do also enjoy his Lateral podcast, if anyone hasn’t checked that out yet. Some pretty well known YouTuber guests.

She has no porn, and needs people to send her some, clearly.

I got a $600 projector and have about 90 inch display ( can hit 120 if my apartment was bigger). No need to go to a cinema, overpay for drinks and snacks, and I can pause and pee whenever I want.

I’m part of a private tracker site. I’m pretty anon to them. They have an email but I use a VPN all the time. They had a requirement of having the same IP, so I just used one specific server.

I have never heard anyone say “Grandpa Google”. I have heard more people say “Bing it” than someone that didn’t use “Google” to mean search.

I’m new to Lemmy, about a week or so ago I discovered Mlem and thought it was great to have a proper app, even if it was a beta. Today I found Memmy and I’m very impressed. Both have the basics pretty well done, although i can’t find search in Mlem still now, so I’m using Memmy primarily for now.

Thank you to everyone that works on these apps for us.
