    Is lemmygad for real?
  • They have legitimate stalanists. Some are critical of stalin some, for some reason, support him uncritically. No one wants to discuss things in good faith with them even if they are respectful, just call them tankies. So why do they need to feel like they need to be bastions of debate? If you don't like their community just block it.

    Steam Summer Sale 2023 Recommendations Thread
  • Workers say the lead and creators were dicks, tough to work with. Investor and largest shareholder bought out a majority share, is now currently fighting to keep the IP and excise the lead/creators under the guise that they weren't good for company culture.

    My personal view, disregard it if you want to make your own judgements, it doesn't matter if the guy is a dick, this is what they created. Saying it's what was best for the company seemingly only seems to be best for one guy. You don't get to use being a piece of shit to work with, even if 100% true, as a reason to conspire against and force everyone out of the company. You open clear cut dialogue and boundaries, then make compromises. This youtuber's video that goes into much more depth and eloquently explains my position.

  • Here's the link for anyone interested. I have watched that video and still firmly believe it was a hostile take over.

  • I've never used obsidian but the people who make thousands of anki cards, release them for free, and allow the community to add important ones of their own has saved me many times.

  • Community search (all) not working
  • We updated to the newest version, 0.18.0. I feel like we should make an issue report megathread. For some reason lemmy.one is showing me old posts from 2020, but isn't doing so on lemmy.ml.

  • Four apps and counting, how is everyone else doing?

    When will Lemmy.one update Lemmy to v0.18.0?
  • same here. also sort by hot on lemmy.ml works now on 0.18.0

  • Questions about "don't use vpn services"
  • This is my personal takeaway as well. The article seems to insinuate that because VPNs by themselves don't do anything meaningful for privacy, they're useless. It seems defeatist, since one could take measures to mitigate fingerprinting. But like you said they're only one of the important parts of maintaining privacy.

    I am not more technically proficient than the average user. I have little experience in hosting anything, let alone hosting something that will tunnel all of my internet usage. I'd rather put my faith in my current provider to take the proper precautions and put more effort into things I feel comfortable with. It seems better to me than trusting an unknown VPS provider, my own skill and/or my awful ISP.

  • Questions about "don't use vpn services"
  • I just don't want to be tracked and profiled, especially for ads. I only sign into accounts with personal information for absolute necessities and browse websites without accounts. Plus my ISP openly tracks and sells history to third parties. It's not viable for me to use tor for daily usage.

  • Questions about "don't use vpn services"

    gist.github.com Don't use VPN services.

    Don't use VPN services. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

    Don't use VPN services.

    Came across this controversial link where someone says that a VPS would be more secure than a VPN provider. From my understanding:

    -Wouldn't the VPS provider just see everything instead of a VPN provider? -Wouldn't fingerprinting be straightforward, even if you use a hardened browser, since you have a single IP traceable directly to only one user?

    ytcombinator doesn't seem to take it seriously but I'm curious to hear what you all think about it.

    Will I be banned? Looking to migrate from Reddit, but only if free speech is paramount.
  • Freedom of speech doesn't mean you are allowed to say anything you want, everywhere you want without consequences. It just means you won't be jailed for your opinions. Even if you get banned you can join an instance that allows it. Probably would be one that is de-federated by virtually everyone though.

    Just a thank you to the privacy guides team

    Can't count the number of times a privacy related youtuber was recommending questionable tools due to sponsorships. Refreshing to see reasoning and user input taken into account when deciding what tools are recommended. In a matter of weeks I've been able to transition to a much more private and secure lifestyle that would've been a pain without the site.

    Coming from reddit, Lemmy isn't great

    I appreciate the decentralized architecture and the privacy that comes with it, but it's organization isn't great.

    I'm not sure if I understand why certain instances can choose not to federate with other instances. It just seems to limit the content that is accessible to me. I don't want to have to switch between 4-5 Lemmy accounts that I switch just to curate what I to see. Its impractical.

    I'm not happy with the changes on reddit and will most likely ditch entirely soon. Lately I've only been using it for tutorials. But at least I wasn't closed off from viewing anything and everything I wanted without sifting through instances. I hope great things come for Lemmy, competitors are great, but in its current state it just seems doomed.
