I think what “god” does mean for me, you and others are different. Also same goes for “believe” and “you”. I believe, these kinds of topics are way out of our minds’ league and even we could comprehend and discuss those things(god, reality, logic etc.) we still would be using wrong tools like language and our current logic system. So both the tools we use, and our intelligence is not enough to answer this question.
But still, if you want a yes or no answer; I would say no without hesitation.
Why YSK: There is a recent update in Youtube that force user to turn on history to see videos in recommendation/home tab. You can get over it by turning the history version ON and then watch a video and make sure it’s shown in the History tab. And now you can turn off the History and you will still see the recommendations/home...
Just because of this I have got in the habit of holding phone 45 angles when I open it, and this really puts me in weird situations in morning around people
Communities on different instances about the same topic should have the option to essentially federate so a post on one appears on all of them and opening any of them shows you the comments from all of them. This way when lemmy.world is down its not a big deal because posting to any news community federates to all of the...
If all federated communities could decide upon to regulate same rules, every one of them could be moderated by their own moderators. But the problem I see here is the things that’s being federated is in reality server itself which means it would be impossible(not sure but at least not necessary) to do such a thing. But anyone can easily build an app to collect posts from same communities, it does not require to play with activitypub, just lemmy api.
I am using tildes, and compared to lemmy it’s community is small. But I love it because of this. Since community is small I feel like I really am a significant part of the community.
They have no idea what they are down voting. They do it just because it is against sync. You are just stating we should support foss devs. They literally are just bunch of fucking idiots that probably came here just by following others. It would be awesome if they could just fuck off from fediverse and go lurk in reddit.
For every single way that you may be using to reach out the internet, there will always going to be an exit node which won’t be able to hide out itself. You may still use ssl or whatever you want (cant think of anything else that widely used) to encrypt the connection, as you normally do on your computer every time like you try to reach out a server with https. But I still take some actions that are not being encrypted between me and other side which I don’t want to be related with me. So basically, I don’t want some of my traffic to be exposed to ISP or any possible other threat. In order to provide that, I find a vps provider which has enough internet traffic to not use ISP to access internet(like many big tech companies do), and buy a vps from there anonymously(of course my ip is being exposed here but it is also being exposed on other vpn services and I am not doing something that important to make my ip so much important to hide). Afterwards I setup a wireguard or openvpn (depends on your needs) server and connect it from my pc. Which basically works like a vpn service that many people subscribe.
As far as I can see(if I am not mistaken somewhere), if you have a problem with this kind of protocol, then you have a problem with vpn services itself. And if you have a problem with that, and need more anonymity, you can connect to a public wifi and then a vpn and then a distributed network like tor.
I can fall asleep almost anywhere. I routinely fall asleep in the break room at work. Once, I was helping a friend fix his car, and I fell asleep on his garage floor when he went inside to get water....
I am gonna be honest with you here. Some of us born with a gift, given directly from god. They can sleep, without thinking embarrassing memories, without using any medicine, without finding comfort itself. But you and I… and many others… we are not welcomed to this dream world of easy sleepers. We are not gifted.
Once I was exactly like you described: “people who want FOSS everything but they contribute nothing”. Indeed, it was really bothering me to not contribute anything, but the reason was I didn’t have much confidence about my skills. I slowly break that barrier of lacking confidence.
If there are people out there like who I was, please just go and commit anything on any project, whatever it is, doesn’t matter.
Right, then we hope to get a feature to be able to ban communities. I guess there is no issue opened for that(as far as i can remember), it would be great to open a issue for that.
It bothers me a lot. Also considering OP and the ones with the same thoughts are using lemmy instead of reddit but still support fucking sync, i realize all of them are hypocrite or just stupid.
We are using lemmy, because its foss, because it doesnt commercialize anything, because its decentralized; if thats not the case for you just use reddit, there is a lot more content over there.
Sync is making money over fediverse, closed source, and collects data. So now, can you see the point?
If you are saying i dont give a fuck about privacy policy of company, ideas and believes of company owners and other shit; if you are saying just give me content and better ux, then it seems that we are not same. cant argue with that.
If you dont use becuase what i have listed, there is no reason to stay here, just go where the content is more, and you can easily pay for api key and use custom interface for reddit.
Instead of spending your time with raging to a random stranger on internet, just ignore or logically discuss with me.
If its closed source, have a subscription model, and collects data i would rather not use that 3rd party app. Those things come before UX for me and if you are someone who came from reddit(like me) instead of payin for an api key and still use 3rd party app you must have the same side with me or you are just lying to yourself or dont know why left reddit(i expressed this situation with stupidity).
As i said, there is a lot more content on reddit, go over there pay what you pay to sync for lemmy and use reddit. Same thing with lots of more content.
If you care more about your experience, then go pay to reddit and get an api key, then use some 3rd party app that suits you. Also reddit has a lot more content and more active
Because you all mentioning about ux again and again, which is all about interface and content for a forum platform. Before 20 years tracking and subscription models werent around but now they are everywhere and people slowly became ignorant(especially post-millenial people). As a result we now dont give a fuck about free, open sourced, private things. Thats why i am judging, but if there are things i miss please dm me, i would really like to hear where i am mistaken.
I hopped from arch (2010-2019) to Nixos (2019-2023). I had my issues with it but being a functional programmer, I really liked the declarative style of configuring your OS. That was until last week. I decided to try out void Linux (musl). I’m happy with it so far....
