their point is not the custom domain usage, who cares about that, for that you need a domain to begin with and its not that common to have a personal one. but that you can’t set up automatic forwarding without continuously paying. that makes switching considerably harder for the everyday people.

Recently I learned that it does not work anymore with lemmy.ml, so its probably because of that

why don’t you/they just block meme communities then? downvoting memes because they are memes does not make any sense when they are posted to communities made for that reason

using? having! better uninstall them all, confine them into firefox if you still need them.

don’t forget to get rid of the 3 iconless meta apps either that are installed to lots of phones from the factory:

• Meta App Installer
• Meta App Manager
• Meta Services

you can only see these in the settings, installed apps list, after finding the hidden option to also show system apps.
App Manager or similar tools will also show them.

a loaded gun, sure. is that what you also think about the billions of windows users?

I mean with something easier than OBS, but which works on KDE or any other desktop. something like OnTopReplica on windows

sure! I use the libredirect addon: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension/ works in firefox on desktop and mobile

it redirects various privacy invading services to privacy preserving alternative frontends that are ran by volunteers. by default it only redirects youtube, so you would need to toggle on reddit too. Currently it only uses 1 redlib instance by default, you may select more to be used in the addon’s settings.

redlib and other frontends are distinct projects. their project page often has a list of public instances. here is redlib’s page: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
but you normally don’t have to look at it because libredirect updates its instance list automatically

sometimes an instance is temporarily blocked by reddit, if that happens you can quickly switch to a different instance in the addon’s menu.

redlib and other frontends usually have some cpnvenience settings, be sure to check them out. but they need cookies allowed, and they are not synced across instances.

Probably. I think they may fine homeserver operators in the EU, maybe even raid their homes or jail them. But to me its unclear whether hosting it, or also using it will be a criminal offence.

Hopefully neither, and we can jail the real terrorists, those who want to get this implemented.

isn’t it possible with some external utility? OBS can capture individual windows with pipewire, and it can render that to a new window, so it must be possible with something easier too

once I noticed failures on my ventoy pendrive because a specific bootable system had unexpected bugs each time I booted it. after I have rewritten it from backup, it was working fine again.

but bitrot works this way not just on pendrives, but SSDs and HDDs too. the system won’t know unless it tries to read the file. SMART selftests may help. but even then, what good it is if it does not let you know actively?

are you sure that it has that access?

on my phone the “select file to open” button just opens the system built in file browser, which is used to grant apps access to individual files or directories.

I think internal storage access was behind a permission too for very long, if not always. and I mean a toggleable permission that is default off.

I don’t think re-registration is a problem for most of us. we just don’t want to go there on a daily basis anymore. especially since all apps have been kicked out other than that garbage, data mining official app.

nowadays if I go there, I only do because I’m following a link, and then I always use a redlib instance to view the content

you don’t need the whole usb drive to fail. It’s enough if a sector or two went corrupt, and you won’t be able to open (or even see) a directory, or copying a file will stop in the middle. maybe files disappear too, and then at best they get recovered to FOUND.001 or such directory without path and name, maybe also just partially, or interleaved with other lost or deleted files’ fragments

but surely microsoft keeps multiple copies! they are infallible!!

“The key is to retain water where it falls,” wrote Polish Waters.

Problem is, it does not fall.

more feature rich? According to the store description and screenshots, it has less features.

I have heard less about phone chargers failing catastrophically. They also handle much less power (except the fancy ones), and I haven’t seen a hot phone charger adapter yet, but plenty laptop chargers of which some were just very warm, and some so hot just on its outsides that it was uncomfortable to hold it in hand.

this is why I’m more worried about laptop chargers

I still don’t understand why is it so essential to connect everything to the internet

I would assume that landfill laptop manufacturers are trying to minimize costs even harder on the charger.

but what timeframe do you mean with “anymore”? laptops made in this decade, or the last 10 years, or something else? there’s plenty of old laptops that fitinto OPs category.
