  • That must be the coolest thing about Kash Pastel, tbh.

  • Are they in love with it? Did it have a "she" name? Remember the guy in Colombia, full on cocaine, claiming to be the best engineer ever, but still amazed about the AI he created? The one Linus rejected his main contribution to the kernel...?

  • YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!

  • That is good is up to you, as the user. I wouldn't use their service at all without avoiding those ads, so, it's not a good "free" service for me.

  • Of course, but it's a bit misleading. I thought it might be helpful to add that comment.

  • SmartTube is for Android, as is NewPipe. You need a Smart TV with Android TV. Other TVs do not have a way out.

  • Easy, I'll just switch to... Oh, right, it's a monopoly, who would have thought they'd offer a shitty service for "free"?

  • Sounds like the chlorine dioxide nonsense, tbh. Dangerous stuff.

  • With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready?

    Jump

  • You do you. Good luck.

  • There are apps without public repos at all. Here's a report of trackers and permissions the app may ask, but again, you don't need to grant it more than just network access because is for Reddit.

    I can't give any value to your guarantees. There's the code, there's an analysis of trackers and the history of the app. Moreover, I can't see a concrete reference to your claims. These things, on the other hand, make me feel rather secure about using it behind a VPN as I said, but that's me.

  • People who have been on Lemmy since the very initial reddit API debacle, or before even that, how much do you think it has changed?

    Jump

  • Well, good luck asking for it.

  • IDK what personal info could it be sharing. You don't need to login, it doesn't ask for permissions and it's a GPLv3 app. Where did you get that idea?

  • Yes, it's fair to say Lemmy used to be more friendly, but it also was more homogeneous. I think, for the quantity of people around, it's still pretty civilized. I just admit, once, the author of some kind of "fuck you" message was me, and, while I still stand by that message, the moderators, probably the same person I replied to, banned me of that community. Fair, I guess.

  • Do you think it's fair to ask someone to migrate their account just because you hate pro-China and/or pro-Russia bots, assuming they exist?

  • Five years here. Not sure if that qualifies as 'the very beginning', but it's a while. I never used Reddit as a conventional user, always disliked the voting system and always used throwaway accounts. My accounts always had positive comment karma, I wasn't a troll, but inevitably, my opinions collisioned with the mainstream's. Reddit is mostly American idiosyncracy. They like their mobs with forks. If someone posted a video of something looking a bit bad, they are fast in condemning it and feeling themselves better people instantly. Reddit was about roasting everybody else, point fingers and be judgmental, enter the mob.

    If you kept your cool about something, as I used to, you could end up being accused of being a protector or defender or collaborator of Nazis, paedophiles, patriarchy, molesters, etc. The voting system would let it be clear you were not appreciated in the community. A lot of people, sometimes even me, deleted their messages, their opinions, just because they were harshly judged. I don't think auto-censorship is a good thing at all.

    At some point, I would stop commenting. The mob ideology, the collective "we are better" attitude would be too much to bear, so I deleted the account, and after some detox time I'd go back with a new throwaway. After the API debacle, I just picked up my old Lemmy account. Same things happen here, but to a lesser extent. Also, I deactivate the voting visualization and try to be loyal with my point of view. If I comment, I try to do it only if I can keep a durable conversation. I don't need to like to strangers on the internet, their morals are not mine, I don't need the anxiety of good or bad karma.

    Lemmy has changed a bit. When there were just a couple of instances, things were pretty much the same in each. Now, instances seem to have attached ideologies. That's why I also hide user name's instances, so I can treat everyone the same, no matter where they come. These instance wars are pretty lame and disheartening, but so much better than Reddit.
