Insert South Park Disney Mickey Mouse China meme

Big props to John for walking away.

reduces my loyalty to the platform

Why the fuck would you have any loyalty to Apple? They sure as shit don't have any loyalty to their customers. In fact they piss in the face of their customers and tell them it's raining.

I love that their first posts are just highlight reels of Trump saying dumb shit and other Republicans absolutely trashing him.

This is another wonderful piece of software from FOSS advocate FUTO.

Aside from another method to bypass YT ads, you can watch your favorite creators on a wide variety of platforms, all in a single app. No complicated configuration required like ReVanced. You can export your subscriptions list from Google via Google Takeout, or from FreeTube/LibreTube/New pipe etc. and when you open the file it should automatically open in GrayJay.

You can also perform cross-platform searches.

PeerTube does work but it uses the FUTO instance, which does not federate, so you can only watch/search FUTO videos. Some work is still needed in that area, but it's probably also the least popular platform sooo...

This is a paid app based on the honor system and currently only supports Stripe for payments. It's a 1-time $10 fee.

Futo also makes a casting app called FCast so you can cast videos from this app to your Android TV box after installation.

The same photo is still in use by The Movie DB, one of Plex’s data suppliers.

So someone submitted a copyrighted image to a 3rd-party user-created database and Plex ingested the image.

Seems like the claimant has a legitimate case but it's strange that they didn't sue the people actually providing the image. Not enough money in it, probably.

I've come to the realization that the phone I want is a Nokia 3310 "brick".

  • Infinite battery life
  • compact size
  • headphone jack
  • indestructible
  • no spyware
  • no social media
  • T9 texting
  • no software updates
  • Snake
  • Brick Breaker

It's okay. There will be no Elysium. They'll die on this molten rock right here with us if they're still alive by then.

I think our reality is more like Idiocracy than Elysium.

Hi friends. I switched to Fedora and been using it for several months now. I am now using it 90% of the time but do occasionally have to boot into Windows.

I have run into a space limitation, so I want to reallocate some disk space from Windows to Fedora.

I was able to successfully unallocated space from the Windows partition but haven't been able to reallocate it to the Fedora partition.

Preferably using CLI as little as possible... 😫

Thanks in advance!

So encryption is dead in the UK?

Do they not realize there are messaging services that don't even have a central server or even an entity responsible?

Or companies that don't even have a presence in the UK, and thus no responsibility to comply with their laws?

Pedos will just download and install something like Keet or Signal or Session while the privacy and security of law-abiding citizens are irrevocably compromised...

“I’m allowed to have these documents. I’m allowed to take these documents…When I have them, they become unclassified. People think you have to go through a ritual. You don’t, at least in my opinion.”

This guy thinks when someone hands him documents that they become "unclassified".

I don't even know what to say to that. How was this man ever President of the fucking country... He's a fucking moron.

Tried to use OSMAnd last week to navigate around on vacation. For some reason it seems to be incapable of searching for house numbers, which is an instant dealbreaker. I'm very confused as to how or why this is a thing on such a mature product.

I was able to share a location from GMaps WV over to it to get navigation working, and from there the navigation was awesome!

Currently also testing Magic Earth and Organic Maps but I'm very interested to hear from those with more experience.

I realize that Mastodon is specifically intended not to have any sort of algorithm, and I understand and appreciate that, but it's not what I want, personally. I want to have the posts in my feed sorted by the ones with the most "engagement" as those are likely the most interesting ones.

I'm about to just buy a cheap mini PC and run all my services through the browser on Linux. This shit just continues to get more and more invasive.

E: Hijacking my own top comment: it was a bug. Restarted the device and the keyboard came back.

Funding your project with donations is just not a realistic long-term goal. This is why so many instances fold up shop in just a couple of weeks as their servers are overloaded and no one donates money to keep it up.

Capitalism is a problem but it doesn't mean everything has to be socialism. There can be an in-between.

So, we’ve all had a... time on Reddit lately,” said the admin. “And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been tested, and begin the ‘now what?’ conversation.”

I love how they're just acting like they've just had an argument and now it's over and they're ready to move on after changing absolutely nothing.

It's like being verbally abused at home and you walk out, come back the next day and your partner is like "glad you got that out of your system" and expecting you to go back to "normal" without any sort of apology.

Been wanting to leave the platform for a long time. The Fediverse in it's many shapes and forms has rid me of that desire.

Be sure and check out wefwef.app for a usable mobile PWA for Lemmy!
