It’s one of those “it depends” things. I’ve been working on a pretty data-dense webapp and as time goes on we’ve been shaving bits of padding off and instead relying on elevation and borders to signify the UI hierarchy of the app.
For normie apps where there’s hardly anything to present, I think all the spacing helps people not get overwhelmed as much.
There’s a PR open (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/214) but I’m assuming Ernest has a million other things going on right now too.
Just in case users really wanted to see some hate speech mixed in with their regular discussions?
about the Lemmy devs
I mean, the devs haven’t made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.
Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs “in charge” even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.
There’s also not really any penalty for making extra accounts at different servers. I signed up for both kbin and lemmy.world before I settled on kbin.
They’re extremely pro-China. They deny the Uyghur genocide, by saying it’s just as real as “white genocide”. It’s mostly criticisms that I would say are valid except that mixing in the Chinese propaganda kinda spoils the whole thing.
My expectation is that some people will just use it as an excuse because they actually enjoy Reddit turning into 9gag with NFTs. If it really becomes an issue, Lemmy will be forked, and new devs will lead it.
(There’s also still kbin.)
I don’t mean that it’s not old, I mean that it’s still got some more room for improvement. Passkeys, for instance, are an attempt at improving the user experience.
but asking for back pay is a stretch
I don’t think anyone’s denying that. Lawsuits in the US always follow a “throw everything at the wall” approach because there’s no downsides to it. The actual worst case for including it is that particular claim gets rejected and the rest of the suit continues.
If your service works with Wireguard, you can use the first-party Wireguard client instead of the VPN clients. iOS may be an exception, I’m not sure.
Just that I will never trust any company who spends as much on marketing as they do.
IIRC free tier on ProtonVPN blocks whatever peer to peer traffic they can detect.
I wouldn’t worry about privacy within the contents of the VPN though, as a lot of their services do require money so they should have quite a lot of funding through the paying users (like me.)
They do what they can to promote as much privacy as possible, but email really doesn’t lend itself well to that just in general. I would always suggest accessing any clearnet site through a VPN or Tor if you do sensitive work online.
It still defends against one failure mode (the website gets hacked but you’re ok) but yeah, obviously if you get hacked and the hacker knows how to get your vault out then you’re 100% screwed.
My suggestion is always hardware 2FA, even though it’s not as mature as the other systems. Personally I have two Yubikeys (in case one breaks/gets lost) but it does mean that I need to add TOTPs to both of them each time I add a new 2FA.
I guess it kinda matters in that people like me certainly won’t be giving any code contributions, which for an open source project can be critical to its long-term health.
But devs also tolerate and use tons of code and the licenses that Richard Stallman wrote, even if he’s a huge creepball that a bunch of other free software orgs had to back away from.
So we’ll see. I also wouldn’t rule out a fork of it just so that it’s officially ran by a less controversial group.
If people really care there’s also kbin, which is the same content just with a different (imo better) UI.
It’s the voting system that does it imo. When everyone just shouts random thoughts into the void hoping it goes viral the overall quality tends to be low. It makes for a decent RSS feed, but so do RSS feeds.
Minecraft had tons and tons of issues until Microsoft finally got Notch to stop writing code for it.
Yeah, I still can’t figure out what sort of mentality makes that seem like a good idea.
For Musk there’s at least a chance of some sort of thought process going on there. Narcissistic people tend to think that everyone else is just like them (although maybe a lesser version of themselves.) Musk has had a very serious addiction to Twitter for a long time, therefore everyone has a very serious addiction to Twitter, therefore we can charge people a ton of money for their Twitter and since they can’t leave they’ll have to pay for it. And legal repercussions? Why, he’s never seen those in his life!
Maybe spez is the same, just with a bunch of alt accounts so that he can post in /r/jailbait or whatever. I can see why he might want to turn reddit into 9gag if that’s all he’s ever used it for himself and isn’t capable of understanding the concept of other people having different uses for it.
But at some point he must notice that it’s not been going well? Right?
At least in the US, if something is very obvious in how it’s going to be used, an implicit license for that purpose is given.
What counts as obvious depends on the judge, though.
I guess my only worry is that if they do add something like a BY-SA-NC 4.0 license, then technically all the old posts aren’t under that license.
$70 is typical for that, except it’s 30GB of data for the month before they reduce you to around 25kB/s.
