Not to forget the buit in popup showing the shortcuts, similar to which-key, but built in

Samsung phones just sucks.

Switched to fairphone and could root it without installing twrp, there was only one extra app and I could just disable the google apps and switch to foss ones.

I dont expect a decentralised platform to be profitable and also think donations are better than in-app purchases.

But I dont want big instances to suddenly turn off because they cant afford it anymore or the development being behind so much we loose users to missing features.

Looking at the donation pages of lemmy instances there are enough donations for now but it is good to have a plan B for in case we get flooded by users not willing to donate so this platform survives long term. That plan B should be as least Invasive as possible,so no ads,analytics or paywall. Thats why I suggested something that is completely cosmetic.

The hard truth is that long term, we likely need another way besides donations to keep the ecosystem alive.

Fact is, the Lemmy ecosystem needs money to handle the growing server reqirements as more people migrate as well as the development cost of new features (I know Lemmy is OSS but the devs should still get some compensation for their effort).

Seeing how much some reddit users love awards so much that they cant stop giving money to Reddit to award posts protesting the api change, this could be a great way for users to voluntary support the ecosystem. It can be easily ignored by users not caring about them (clients could even add an option to hide them), but users liking the feature can go wild and this time the money goes to volunteers keeping this alive instead of greedy admins, power mods and investors.

Though there would be some big organization questions attached: attached:

  • Which server handles the payment? A centralized one, the one where the post was made or the one where the user giving the award account was created.
  • How will the money be shared between the Devs and the individual instances in a way that is fair but cant be abused easily.

Good to know. Havent used it for years so I didnt realise it expanded outside the browser.

Also you kinda force yourself to stay in the appl ecosystem. I strongly suggest switching to a platform-independent password manager.

Edit: Looks like firefox is platform independent

notates username in case i need an account somewhere but am too lazy to create one

[-] lesnake@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same. I am bad at coming up with good passwords so I just ended using the same for 95% of websites.

Since I started using password managers, life is so much easier and secure. And bitwarden is by far the best option. Its free, premium is less than1$/months and completely open source so I can actually trust it.They also have exelent cross platform support.
