Do services count? Because in that case, ride-hailing. A replacement for services like Uber and Lyft.
Fyi, there’s now a fedi alternative called Faircamp.
I wish people would stop saying that. It might be useful for certain things, but it's not an alternative to Bandcamp. Unless something has changed very recently, it has no means of selling music at all.
Nice to see some of the alternative client apps listed at the end of the article.
I'm especially looking forward to the upcoming new voice chat system: Element Call.
Sadly true. I've been known to warm those meals up just enough to transfer them to a plate or bowl, and then finish their heating. It doesn't undo the plastic contact that happened when the food was prepared and packaged, nor does it help the with plastic waste problem, but it's better than nothing. Meanwhile, I look for frozens that come in paper fiber trays instead of plastic.
When I find a packaged food that I like enough to buy again, I'll sometimes email the company to let them know I would buy more if they replaced their packaging with something less toxic. My voice alone won't make much difference, but if they hear it from multiple customers, perhaps they'll put it on their roadmap. (This seems like a marketing opportunity, especially now that microplastics and other forever chemicals are getting attention in the news.)
Also, there's always the option of cooking/buying a big batch of food and freezing it in single-serving glass/stainless containers. No plastic at all this way, and the food is often better. :)
They don't need to backdoor end-to-end encryption when they can instead snoop at the endpoints (e.g. the apps).
Governments can force service providers to either do that or no longer operate in their jurisdiction.
This won't stop especially knowledgeable people (including criminals) from using encrypted comms, but it will make it much harder to access for everyone else, thereby robbing the general population of an essential safety tool, among other things. It's terrible for democracy and dangerous to vulnerable populations. The article is worth reading.

Is it just me or is it really fuckin’ easy to not connect your TV to the internet?
I prefer not to reward corporations by buying equipment with built-in spyware.
(Also, "easy to not connect" depends on whether the TV nags you, or disables features, or uses any open wi-fi it finds, or includes a cellular or mesh modem.)
Linux was until recently. That's why this is news.
From the top of the change list:

What's next, Elon? Try to trademark the letter x?
No, they are not legit.
Sometimes the keys they sell work, sometimes they don't, and sometimes they start out working but later get revoked. But more importantly...
They are even worse for the developers than pirating the games:

It is better to wait for a Steam/GOG/Humble sale. Price tracking sites like this one can be helpful:
I've seen this "deletion is not guaranteed on lemmy" warning shouted loudly and often by a few individuals over the past month or two, mostly on reddit. It makes no sense in context, because deletion is not guaranteed on reddit, either. Or on any other public forum.
For the record, lemmy devs addressed it in a discussion here.
I'm starting to think it's propaganda sponsored by reddit, hoping to scare people out of leaving.

Seems like a weird headline. AFAIK, the language it's written in has nothing to do with the performance.
