Well, it’ll be putting stain on the grid, more than likely.

I wish more people on Reddit and Twitter would recognize that and use more discretion with who they’re creating a product for.

I’d recommend Signal for truly private messaging. I’ve heard things about Matrix, and the warning mentions Element.io, nether of which I’m personally familiar with.

Lemmy.world is a registered non-profit organization. https://fedihosting.foundation/about-us/

It’s easy enough to use the API to scrape the site and use all the posts and DMs for free. It’d be odd for OpenAI to pay for it.

Please do recognize that anything you post publicly IS public, whether that’s Facebook or here. The lack of an API isn’t going to stop places from scraping your data off of Facebook or Reddit either.

Your DMs here are explicitly public. That’s part of the federation between servers. If you want truly private DMs, there are options for that.

I suppose I should mention for full disclosure that I’m part of the (unpaid) staff here representing the Lemmy.World Community Team.

I haven’t paid for Lemmy yet. Well, other than volunteer time.

I guess if we want something where we’re not the product, we have to build it ourselves.

Especially on mobile.

Its Ubuntu 24.04. When I started it, it took quite awhile and then said “there as a problem, please log out”.

Now that I’ve got it started (where I’m posting from now), it still refuses to arrange my monitors. And I have no idea what this 5th, 13.3" monitor is supposed to be.

It looks like my issues are related to this hardware. I guess that’s understandable. I thought this hardware would be transparent to the OS, and apparently it’s not.

If I hit apply here, it will fail and put them back in a line. I’ll also get around 4 fps and no cursor on the additional monitors.

I installed a fresh copy of, I believe, Debian. Wayland, for some reason, couldn’t handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

Not the issue I expected on a fresh install. Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn’t my primary.

I’m currently back to Windows. It was already going to be a rough transition, and missing the ideas I was looking for while also adding complications just hasn’t made it worth it.

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

You can get a RaspPi instead, and after a year or two you’ll have saved enough electricity to have paid for itself.

Important government secrets will be strictly separated from personal/civilian devices. The only classified information being transmitted by personal devices is the location and human knowledge of the owners.

You know what takes up less space? Software on the phone that I’m already carrying.

There have also been occasions where I forget my wallet but still have my phone to pay with.

Paywall

It was a wholesome way to fund the site before they sold out. There was nothing wrong with it being mostly pointless. In fact, it’s better that way. Money gated subs outside of that one meme seems pretty terrible.

You shouldn’t. Reddit was a different place then.

You supported it when it was good, and abandoned it after it sold out. You can be a little proud of that.

They’re trying to market emotion because emotion sells.

It’s also exactly what AI should be kept away from.

I can afford to have a driver if I’m splitting the cost with 400 of my closest friends.

Turning Point.

My passwords are safe.

No, they’re really not. No matter how good your password is, it can absolutely be compromised. If you use a password manager, just look at how often sites tell you that you “forgot” your password, despite knowing you haven’t.

Use 2fa for things that are absolutely vital. Whether you use it for your Blizzard account or Steam account is less important. (Though I’m pretty sure Blizzard has leaked passwords at least once, many years ago.)

For now.
