Dang you reminded me I’m low and there’s severe weather alerts going out in my region…
7·6 days agoAre you sure this is merely mildly infuriating?
1·6 days agoHave you considered setting up a virtual drive throuh RCLONE and use encrypted cloud storage?
tchncs.de runs their own lemmy server along with many other services, at least they seem serious.
2·6 days agoI did one of the subtitle translations a while back, seem to remember it had to be done with open/free use licence. I’d be surprised if you can’t just re-edit the video to make it shorter and more to the point.
6·6 days agoThere are many different matrix IM clients, both for desktop and mobile. I’m guessing you’re thinking of Element, the defacto standard client from the makers of the matrix platform? Some of them are more tailored to the “average user”, like FluffyChat and SchchzshchildyChat (???)
IMO the variety of clients only make it more confusing for people unfamiliar with the ecosystem.
On top of that there’s different instances. It’s about as messy as the ActivityPub-based fediverse.
9·6 days agoOn my way to sue you for daring to type out the trademark “Nintendo” without proper authorization.
Sure and I agree. That’s why I mention that I’m bummed out about not being able to attend big venue concerts any more. But I know why they’re doing it and I understand the cost.
As far as I can se, every person who understand what this means is angry about it. But once one accepts that the vast majority of people are NPC’s, not willing to sacrificy even such a meaningless thing as entertainment… This is what we get.
In fairness with the warped society we have, entertainment has become a value in it self, way more valuable than building a better world for ourselves and those who comes after. A consumer society to the max.
I’ve tried warning, I’ve offered alternatives, I’ve talked about the cost - But instead of people attending no-app-required baseball matches and build a new industry they begrudginly use the app, complain about signing away their privacy and just keep on eroding the world.
What are we to do but try to save ourselves?
Yep. It’s all about what you value the most - Your personal privacy and integrity or watching specific people slap a ball with a stick.
Even if you buy five tablets, won’t you still have only three desktops?

What a henious crime, they might as well have downloaded a car!
They’re waiting until enough work is put in to actually upset people, just as a warning to other potential criminals thinking of doing anything similar.
You party animal, I went to bed as soon as socially acceptable.
Sure, that’s why I self-host or use trusted services from people I actually know for EVERYTHING I can, not just the stuff that’s too awful to accept. I can’t be bothered with being disappointed and jump ships yet again.
>He did in fact not get it
Have an upvote for your enthusiasm kiddo.
Being able to partially opting out of a privacy nightmare still leaves a lot to desire. 😔
