Ce să vă zic, mă, bine ați venit? bine ați venit, rău ați nimerit. La locu’ ăsta îi zice șerpărie, de la șerpii care umblă pe-aicea. Dracu’ știe cum au ajuns…
@user68k I think this will be the first GTK3 app that will have an actual options menu instead of a tucked away hamburger menu with options. I think it’s gonna be interesting.
@Powderhorn These have been the norm in my country already for quite a while FWIW, haven’t tested if they change these prices often or not however.
@gencha No reason at all. It was probably wrongfully flagged by Google’s AI based on some stupid wrongful training data. At least that’s what I think though, because folks at Pushbullet (remember the app?) seem to be having similar problems about “not mentioning that they upload user data to their servers” even though they clearly mention this when the app is opened for the first time.
@0x815 as the saying goes in my country: The bowed head - the sword won’t cut it.
@0x815 Madlads.
@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted I don’t think CSD would be a big nuisance on a mobile phone or tablet, pretty much all apps nowadays have it.
@imblue A bit late I think? Wasn’t Qt also available for Android since a while ago? I mean, there are some apps that I know of.
@0x815 as a fun fact (probably losely related to this but anyway), this is the modern version of what the (former) Kingdom of Hungary did in medieval times with the Szekely and the German speaking minorities in Transylvania (in today’s counties of Covasna and Harghita) - only that they also recruited these people into the army.
Fast forward to today, this is why we have a substantial minority of Hungarians in the geographical middle of the country.
@alyaza That will be a lot of useless personal data that their government already has, since everyone can be an influencer of some sort.
@tardigrada It sure was a successful campaign after all that goalpost moving that Putler did ever since the invasion began.
@graphito f* u spidey!
@CasualTee I think both models (i.e. allowlist/blocklist) have their own perks and drawbacks and are all necessary for a healthy and enjoyable internet.
The reason why this is the way it is, I think, is that most of us are both in a minority and a majority at the same time. Take for example me: I am a cis white Romanian, just like the majority of the people in my country. I do however tend to hold some more progressive views, which puts me in a smaller group (e.g. I do think that LGBTQIA+ folks should be allowed to marry each other and adopt children). I do support Ukraine and hope it wins the war, which is what most people do, and I also believe climate change is real, and that it affects our daily lives (you might find that surprisingly maybe that I call myself having a majority view like this, but most people like me are old enough to remember the snowy winters pre-2015). Yet I am totally decided to spend as much of my life possible without owning a car, and trying to do all sorts of things to be more eco-friendly. I am also an atheist, which, it seems, is not so much of a majority view, as most of the people declare themselves Orthodox (and many more are believers in a different religion - Muslims, Greek/Roman Catholics, Judaists etc.) - and the list goes on and on.
I am sure many of you find yourselves in a similar position, and again, that’s okay. You don’t have to fight against the wind if you don’t have a reason to.
What the Fediverse tried, however, was to take the control of social media from the hands of the few, and put it in the hands of the many - and it is partly succeeding - it’s just a much better way of managing the online social interactions, free of any censorship that would go against our views (and Beehaw is no exception, congrats, team! 😁).
Now that people are fleeing to the Fediverse, we’re just gathering our tribe - and this is a natural phenomenon. You’ll never talk and interact with anybody on this planet during your life, not even in your country or even your city if it’s large enough. But you might have friends that have friends that talk to certain people or others, and so on. You might also agree to communicate with any of these people at some point, or maybe the way they view things is just too different from yours that you might choose not to see these people ever again.
Even back on Facebook I found some people that I was (and still am to this day) dead sure that they outright blocked me, even without doing anything bad. And I also blocked others myself.
So yeah, the Fediverse is more representative of life as a whole. And that’s a great thing.
Not on Lemmy nor on Mastodon, if I trust the recent communications around moderation and instance blocking.
GoToSocial, to my knowledge, does have an allowlist mode btw.
And Hubzilla uses a different protocol, that allows for Nomadic Identity. Not sure if this will have any type of impact on moderation, however.
My trust in police is generally low because they fail to address the actual crime sometimes, but it’s not that low to depend on people snitching my every move when I’m out and about.
I mean, if Google and other large data collectors would disappear overnight, the advertisers could simply ask these people anything about me, and get a reliable amount of data (half /s).
@possiblylinux127 Some eldery people like to stay and watch the world go by, then gossip around about what happens in every single detail. If you live there, they also like to ask questions about every thing they notice, to the point it just gets super annoying (e.g. Who is that person you brought here last night? Where do they live? Where are they working? Etc.).
Also see the other comments for examples.
@Wiz I don’t know either 😁
I know about it because that’s where I get all my Linux customization stuff from
Well, one would imagine that was probably the way US athletes were preparing for the Olympics.
@theangriestbird he probably showed him the sanctions are in fact working.
This is 2024 Russia. Actual reporting counts as espionage, while propaganda reporting is considered fine journalism
@clark I used Notally at first, but I wanted cross-device syncing at some point. So I discovered this app by a developer called Bill The Farmer, which this is insanely small (just a few KB). I keep my notes in pCloud. I’m not sure how private it is, but I am thinking of storing them inside a veracrypt container, synced with pCloud instead, and I am also keeping an eye on other options that have the ability of storing notes as Markdown files.
I’m keeping an eye for now on Quillpad ver. 1.5 but I’m open to other options as well. 😁
@alyaza Quite well 😁 Looking forward for a few employment processes, hope I get a positive answer to one of them at least.
I got into the rabbit hole of YouTube videos about iPods, iPod refurbishments, upgrade and other media players in general. It’s so fascinating that there are devices designed just for listening to music, especially since even the old Nokia phones came equipped with music players or had music playing capabilities. In fact, I used my phone to listen to music even before getting a smartphone (yes, I know regular mp3 players were a thing, but it was much easier to view what you were playing on a regular color LCD screen with an actual UI). Even more fascinating is seeing people actually upgrading these devices with more storage, larger batteries and new capabilities like wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity (to connect them to wireless headsets), even making them able to stream from youtube.com/watch?v=ZxdhG1OhVn….
In fact, I am surprised that as of speaking, in 2024, there is still a market for music players, some even being Android based and with Google Play Store access, so you could install Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music or whatever you can find out there (be it a streaming service, music player or whatnot).
This, along with the fact that (as I said) I never owned a dedicated media player myself (none of the likes of an iPod at least), I think is what made me to pull an older phone out of the drawer and try to repurpose it as a dedicated media player myself. And so far, it has been a success for the most part. I don’t know how will I use it outside my house in the real world (even inside the house as well, as I already have the bulk of the music on my PC), but it’s just so fascinating. If you’re interested, I can create a separate post on the DIY community so you can get some ideas.
