The Trumpster, as usual, has no idea what he's talking about; I remember, I think it was in one of the debates he was asked about the nuclear triad and he clearly had no idea what it was. Always comforting to know that someone like that has their finger close to the button at all times.

Yeah, I know, I had to keep myself from writing something along those lines as part of my initial comment. Hopefully Mrs. E won't see this, as she has a somewhat fiery temperament and is quick with the rolling pin...

Mrs. Erinaceus loves it, after fleeing Xwitter and being disappointed with Mastodon. However, in this Wired article/interview (which I read some time ago and might not remember all that well), Bluesky's CEO comes across as being, well, a CEO. Judge for yourself: Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet.

I continue to have good luck with FreeTube, FWIW.

That's why, when I have to email someplace to request account deletion, I write "Please delete my account and all the information associated with it." Probably doesn't make a difference, but worth a shot I guess.

I would really like it if Chris Smalls ran for political office.

Basically what it says in the title. Too many sites make you jump through all these hoops to have your account deleted, and sometimes even then don't do it.

I know about justdeleteme, but unfortunately that doesn't cover a lot of things. Threatening legal action with my state's attorney general—in one case, anyway—didn't work. Maybe the EU will pass some legislation that will carry over to the US . . .

Anyway, don't mind me, just griping.

EDIT: Sort of like the "unsubscribe" button you get at the bottom of some emails. Did they have to pass a law to get that enacted?

I have to disqualify the SoundMAGIC E80D Digital USB C Headphones because it looks like their 90° plug won't fit with the rather thick otterbox case I have on my phone.

Any other suggestions? Would be using primarily for phone but also for laptop, if that makes any difference.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who responded 🙂👍Looks like I've got several good leads to follow, so I'd better get started!

Does Murdoch smell blood in the water? (Murdoch owns the WSJ) He never liked Trump, despite being largely (in my view, anyway), responsible for laying the groundwork for his presidency through all the propaganda, hate, lies, and filth spewed forth by Fox news. Trump is a monster he can longer control, and perhaps now wants to add to a death from a thousand cuts?

(Sure would be nice if I could post this on GrapheneOS's unofficial sublem, but anyway . . . )

Using Graphene, I made a local Seedvault backup on my phone that I would like to upload to the cloud, specifically with/to Filen, but I can't seem to do this, and I'm not aware of any of my other files having this issue. Is this a permissions issue with Seedvault, or is there something else going on?

Musk is an idiot of course, but he does (presumably) have the money to set this up, and parties can be taken over, can they not . . . ? ☭😉

Seriously tho, I think the Coke and Pepsi parties have a lock on the system, so I'm not sure any amount of $$ could break through it, but we can dream, can't we?

Was just about to post this before @yogthos@lemmy.ml beat me to the punch. 🙂👍

Why are so many projects still on Microsoft-owned github? They should follow OM's lead.

Why why why don't they just do like Wikipedia or the Internet Archive does and just come out and ask for donations instead of trying to sneak all this advertising shit into things?

EDIT: Another idea, which I'm sure they'll never consider, is to host actual @thunderbird.net email addresses which could be paid for. People at this very minute are looking for Proton Mail replacements, and this could be one of them . . .

Hopefully he'll end up in the same circle of hell as Kyrsten Sinema (if I remember my Dante correctly, this means that Satan himself will be nibbling on their heads for all eternity alongside Judas, Brutus, and Cassius).

Do you need to go back? What exactly are you going back from? Is it not serving your needs? There are plenty of alternatives to Google services; I'd be happy to provide some suggestions, if you'd like, having been through this ever since The Snowden Affair.
