They look better and more quirky than the "usual" ones. Also, sometimes they might be even cheaper

The software provided as is. Period. They never agreed to be support boys for someone, and the amount of work doesn't really correlate to the amount of money they get from donations unless they both live in a third world country.

It's just a matter of not being entitled, that's it. All I'm asking for is so that people would be more polite to FOSS devs. If they stop doing their work right now what are you going to do? Implement the mod tools yourself? Then go ahead.

They are correct, but I wanted to address the attitude towards the people doing basically free work.

Because Lemmy is free and provided as is, nobody is obligated to do shit.

It would have been different if they simply pointed this out, but they specifically aimed this at the two people doing a ton of work for free making it available for everyone. That's simply rude and ungrateful, in my opinion.

The only thing that could have prevented this is better moderation tools. And while a lot of the instance admins have been asking for this, it doesn’t seem to be on the developers roadmap for the time being. There are just two full-time developers on this project and they seem to have other priorities. No offense to them but it doesn’t inspire much faith for the future of Lemmy.

God, lemmy.world admins are something else

HoloCure. It's on itch.io and Steam. For free.

Cryptpad has worked good for me so far.

I was talking about scrolling when using a touchpad or touch interface. Scrollbars are different, of course and shouldn't be inverted.

I don't understand people who don't use inverted scrolling. That's just so counter-intuitive.

I subscribe to all of them. It costs me nothing and helps keep Threadiverse decentralised

This website looks like Bad Take Central

So many downvotes. It looks like they thought this is an unrionical meme

I just tried it and played for ~3-4 hours. This game is amazing

It's the Fediverse that I have been searching for.

Somebody on Lemmy made this quote I really like:

Twitter is people you care about posting content you don't care about. Reddit is people you don't care about posting content that you do care about

Twitter-like Fedi never clicked for me. I made a bunch of accounts over the course of two, maybe three years, each starting with the intention of maybe making new friends and having a good time. I met a ton of cool people but we never became good friends because I never got really invested into it, simply because my feed was never something I hoped it would be, something exciting.

Lemmy gives me exactly what I was searching for. I didn't use it prior to thr Reddit migration because there were too few people but now I am very happy

uBlock Origin has filters to block cookie pop-ups. I consider the extension a must anyway, no need to download another one like IDCAC or Consent-o-matic

I'm mostly trying to keep my own community alive [email protected]

I've replaced Flameshot with Spectacle on my system because it is preinstalled on Plasma, has almost the same set of features and, in my experience, work snappier. Also, Flameshot can have issues working on Wayland

Insecure by WHOM? Same imperialist who say NYT is news and TASS is "Putin propaganda"?

Yes, exactly. I only use a VPN service that was personally approved by Joe Biden. By whom I mean in general, no matter where I looked people were suspicious of such services. For example, telegram channel VCHK-OGPU wouldn't let you message them from your Russian email, because, as they claim, data from Russian inboxes can be very easily purchased. I'm in no position to claim I've personally verified every Russian service so that's why I suggested you showing me some trustable one

Your claim about Russia being too poor is almost offensive

I don't consider it offensive but deeply saddening. Years of the rule of bourgeoisie made the gap between the richest and the poorest huge.

Russian Federation government uses Kaspersky AV to defend against NATO cyberwarfare units which are best funded in the world so then I trust it.

AV wouldn't help them to defend against NATO cyberwarfare units, because those would most likely use 0-day exploits

If anything, US-based services can afford to be worse because they are not targetted by US government in same way and already have backdoors for NSA.

Source? NSA is really nosy, but I don't think they bother with backdooring every VPN service in Western countries.

I looked up transparency reports and they cooperate with zero governments for personal datas.

If the US says they are the good guys you wouldn't trust them, yeah? So why are you trusting Kaspersky claiming they don't cooperate with governments? Telegram claims they don't cooperate with governments, yet it does. Often. Can you find any info about third-party audits of Kaspersky VPN? On the page you linked it literally says there are cases when they will cooperate with governments. Do they do any precautions to make that data useless to be used against its users?

However even if Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Xi Jinping were personally viewing your data, who cares? Russia doesn't send death squads to kidnap you from your home for being communist anti-imperialist. It is the USA and its NATO pals who do this.

So who cares if Joe Biden was personally viewing your data? Don't make me laugh, if we think in that terms then anything goes because nobody is going to send a "death squad" after you for posting on a ML instance of 13k members

Russia doesn't send death squads to kidnap you from your home for being communist anti-imperialist.

Why was Boris Kagarlitsky (marxist philosopher) arrested? Why was Kirill Ukraintsev (trade union activist) arrested at the start of the war? Why do Russian marxists have to talk very carefully about their own views, in order not to provoke their countries' gendermerie for being a communist?

Your last paragraph is hilarious. There is one small issue with your point — Russia is still a bourgeoisie country, it doesn't like marxists. It only likes you for as long as you support it and not its enemies but it wouldn't fight for you and the very moment it gets rids of its enemies the bourgeoisie state will go after you.

None of Iran Russia or China cooperate with (US) eyes though. If the rest of world is compromised then maybe time is now to look for places. The world of cyberspace is still dominated by US Pentagon but it is no longer totally hegemonic in the ways it once was.

Russia doesn't cooperate with Western countries but Russian services are generally considered not secure. It's not like Russians can't make good services, it's just that nobody bothers making secure services for poorer population when you can do the same in the West and make more money. Russian three-letter agencies might help but their service is not open to the public

As for China, I'm not sure. It's similar to Russia but to a lesser extent. Also, I don't think they would risk their asses and economic ties to the USA to protect some random person. But you are free to prove me wrong and find a trustable Chinese/Russian VPN service that wouldn't leak your shit to the public because of poor security policies, or sell your data

It's not like you're going to audit everything yourself to ensure a service isn't compromised. You have to put some degree of trust into some entity like that anyway. Also, the community is really nice, you can join their Matrix room or a forum and ask why a specific service is listed, if you want to know more
