  • Alright, y'all were right, fuck Proton. This was the last straw for me.

  • The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for altering what was previously not a restricted feature. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

    I agree OP has a right to be upset, but this post has nothing to do with privacy.

  • There's no need to get upset. If you truly are having difficulty understanding my feelings on the topic and are asking in good faith, I'll explain it one more time:

    The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for it's services. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

    Whatever mine or your feelings on the topic, it has nothing to do with privacy.

  • It's empty venting, and the topic is not about privacy in a meaningful capacity, it's about a business model.

    Allowing venting/drama/gossip threads in a community over time will push out the people (like myself) who care about the actual community topic. And when those people are gone what's left is a cesspit.

  • Hey mods just saying... I think a lot of us would appreciate having a rule against offtopic posts.

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

  • Although I think I’m doing something wrong and the memory in modern games is just dynamic so the correct location can’t be found with just the memory addresses.

    OK that's the same thing I was suspecting. I noticed the memory addresses had similar names, but there was no way to search for partial addresses or anything.

  • Replacement for Roku?

  • Toyota boot screen! Love it.

  • Nova Launcher’s new owner, Instabridge, is ‘evaluating’ ads, and some users already report seeing them.

  • Not off the top of my head, but I haven't used it in a year or two so it's probably changed a bit since then.

  • The one feature of Nova I wish Kvaesitso had is swiping on icons can do other things than tapping on them. For example swiping on the wallet icon opens a specific card. Swiping on podcast apps opened audiobook app instead.

  • You can adjust it in settings up to as many that will fit

  • I couldn't get Game Conqueror working on Bazzite. PINCE worked, but I couldn't use any existing CE configs, and saving my own didn't work the next time I loaded the game either. That could maybe just be a Silksong thing but I've never had that issue before.

    Not a dealbreaker for Linux, but it was the one time I remember thinking "this is a lot easier on Windows"

  • I am using Kvaesitso which is great, but not Nova.

  • I'm rocking Bazzite and the only time I wanted Windows was when I got stuck on a boss in Silksong and wanted to use CheatEngine.

  • Replacement for Roku?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it sucks because LibreELEC is the only way I've ever got HDMI-CEC to work. There are some nice skins too. In a different life, perhaps.

  • Another US state just signed a harsh new law requiring licenses, insurance for e-bikes

    Jump

  • The law mentioned in the article isn't doing what you are describing:

    effectively lumps everything with a motor and two wheels into a single category, scrapping the widely accepted three-class system for regulating street-legal electric bicycles. That means pedal-assist e-bikes, throttle bikes, and high-powered e-moto-style machines are now treated the same under state law.

    Most people support classifying electric motorcycles and gas-powered motorcycles the same, while keeping pedal assist in a category with regular pedal bicycles. But that's not what this law is doing.

  • Should I delete my existing bad social medias accounts or just let them die by stagnation?

    Jump

  • There is with Reddit! If you browse enough old posts you'll inevitably come across a profile who's history entirely consists of "I've quit and gone to Lemmy".

  • Instagram - posts can still be checked in a browser without logging in. Imginn exists too if you want to browse a profile.

    Facebook - Anecdotal, but I have not had a Facebook account in 20 years and I can safely say I've never once had FOMO or trouble finding information on an event. If it's a private social gathering that's worth going to, someone will invite me.

  • Instagram/Facebook I would just delete. Maybe make a final post explaining why you're deleting and say "find me on Pixelfed" just to help spread the word.

    For Reddit, I love when see people replace every comment they ever made with a link to Lemmy before deleting their account. Reddit shows comments from deleted accounts so they stay up. There are apps that will do this for you.

    For Gmail just hold onto and have it forward to your new address in case someone tries to contact you that way. But also back it up with Google takeout in case Google randomly decides to delete the account (rare but it happens).

  • Someone wants to spend money on a Reddit alternative

    Jump

  • Sounds like maybe they're looking to invest, and expect a return? But if not, they should just pay hosting costs for a Lemmy or Piefed instance.

    What I said is basically the same as the top comment on their post, so maybe they will!
