Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

MacOS.

Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.

Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.

I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.

Even if they were to revert every single poor decision in the last 6 months right now, the damage is done.

They showed their true colours, and everyone is done with the platform.

Long live Lemmy.

This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.

The word nuclear in general just scares people.

Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.

You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.

I remember when the female dating strategy sub did this rather successfully.

They were about to get banned anyway for the incel-like behaviour and took it upon themselves to switch platforms.

I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.

Just be thankful it’s an 8 minute video and not a 2 minute tic tok full of weird facial expressions.

I miss the Wild West days. It built character.

Children today never have to see this kind of shit anymore.

I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.

Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.

This post is 2 years old lol

Because they aren’t really volunteers. They love the power they wield and would do anything to keep it.

The real volunteers already quit.

Yes that’s true. That’s why I can confidently say any browser because they are all the same.

Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.

So anti consumer it hurts.

This is the true final blow to third party apps.

I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.

Uh no, you can’t. It’s like any game with DRM.

You can’t play most games on steam without logging in at least once.

Just use TLLauncher.

It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.

For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.

In a nutshell: corporate greed. The only part of the game that was live service was the paid cosmetics.

At launch, their entire idea of more ‘content’ was just visual cosmetics. If you look at their communications at the time it will all make sense.

They constantly referred to an internal ‘live service’ team separate from the rest of the game, and that team was effectively the ‘cosmetics team’.

People talk about contractors, but this was the real problem. They thought they could get away with barely adding any real content and selling tons of cosmetics.

I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.
