If someone using Brave gives him money and that money goes in to a homophobic lobby it would be better for consumers to know that so they can actually consent to that. Consumers deserve to make informed decisions about who to or who not to support.

I'm sorry, I'm on the fence. I'm all onboard calling "rizz" and "skibidi" cringe, but I'm never going to stop slaying or serving.

mraaaow :33

I've looked at these, especially LMMS, but in my view they aren't enough (or good enough) to completely escape non-FOSS.

Sample Library plugins, my area of interest, are under two or three banners: Kontakt, Decent Sampler and SF. None of these are appropriately free, although Decent Sampler shows the most promise of breaking down the class divide in this area.

Software for the production of music and audio, like Ardour but for more platforms which more typical people could use more easily, plus plug-ins for that ecosystem. It's a major sticking point how corporate that field is for me.

Eternity doesn't render that fine and neither do any of the websites and frontends I've tried. It's likely Raccoon in specific renders this as you intended, but it is in the markdown spec — that Lemmy mostly follows — that "strictly" two line breaks are needed to render one line break in HTML.

It isn't very "what you see is what you get"...

Do you like your men like you like your software?

I have yet to use a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle for my phone that hasn't gone bust in my pocket in a few months. Probably time to see about a cable for the earphones that terminates in USB-C on the phone end, but that was difficult to search for.

I love my wired ones, and have been nursing some BT earbuds for years, but it's hard to use wired and not to move to BT anymore without buying a phone specifically for the 3.5mm jack.

It's additional because the recommended gesture typing libraries (I believe it's one made by Google?) are closed-source, so an open-source project wouldn't be able to share them within the repository or release and keep the open-source label because a component would be closed-source.

There are open-source gesture typing libraries out there but they're such a bother to set up I just accept the proprietary software. In HeliBoard it took me a few moments to have it going.

You've taken "home screen as self expression" to a new level ~~level 70~~ and I am here for it.

ok well now i just have to know...

...oh my god

If an instance defederates from another instance there's nothing stopping a user who liked that instance that was defederated with from moving to, making an account on or just using (in the broadest sense) another instance which hasn't defederated with the instance they like or that instance itself. I do this sometimes, I go on to another instance I don't have an account on to see the content a defederated instance treats as acceptable and thus the culture it has.

That's one reason I moved to the fediverse: so I could get rid of all of the content I didn't want to see before I saw it. More typical social media like Meta, Twitter and Reddit all have a long history of failing to moderate against anti-trans hate, as with other types of hate, so I moved to the fediverse. One thing that stuck out as a major selling point to me at the time was a lack of an algorithm, meaning that everything I saw I saw because I searched for it, I subscribed to it, because it's local or has been crossposted. Those latter two cases are the only real examples I can think of where a user is served content they didn't actively search for, and even then they're likely to be interested in it because an instance with a specific purpose, like lemmy.blahaj.zone or slrpnk.net, would only host communities that fit with the userbase's interests and communities only share things of interest to that community.

One of the reasons I use lemmy.blahaj.zone as my instance, which Katy also uses, is because the admins do their best to weed out transphobia and that includes Threads because Meta has poor moderation. It's already fairly well established practice to block or defederate from instances with poor moderation (sometimes including open registration) because they pose risks to an instance's userbase. If my instance federated with Threads I would feel at risk from Threads users attacking my posts or my private messaging inbox, so I would leave. We have already seen "aggressive" or "troll-ish" behaviour like this from instances which are far smaller than Threads is.
