this seems equivalent to banning a cybersecurity community because encryption get used by bad actors sometimes, so discussion of staying anonymous online needs to be banned

using your analogy; it’s like banning access to a piracy community because sometimes pirates use it…

pirates sometimes use meme communities too, but those aren’t banned, and .world isn’t completely defederated from db0, so that’s not it.

so discussion of staying anonymous online needs to be banned since information about staying anonymous online is “sharing the tools and techniques” that could be used in assisting criminal activity.

staying anonymous online is not a crime though. copyright infringement is a crime. that’s why the analogy doesn’t make sense.

scenario is: people are linking to law-breaking content in x-community. therefore, .world is choosing to ban said x-community that facilitates it, to prevent legal liability.

I understand the need to draw the line at actually sharing copyrighted content, but discussion of lockpicks or linking to sites that sell lockpicks is not equivalent to going around illegally picking locks, except it seems that is exactly the case when it comes to piracy but no other topics.

you’re right, while lock picking can be illegal, it’s not always illegal. however, copyright law violations are always illegal.

this law-breaking content happens to be copyright infringement/piracy material. another example a host might ban would be a community that is linking to CP, or a community that is linking to Identity theft sources, etc. even if it’s just users posting links to this sort of content, I can understand a host not wanting to expose themselves to any sort of legal liability.

hmmm, not sure if chrome has this, but for Firefox I use the “Open in App” button, since I have “Open links in apps” set to Never.

Though I can replicate your issue, clicking a lemmy link in Discord brings me to Firefox, whereas clicking a YouTube link in Discord takes me directly to the YouTube app (technically the ReX app)

Android Settings -> Apps -> Sync -> Open by default

I mean, they’re somewhat right, if they’re talking about RS Classic -> RS2…

but yeah, he left before RS3

Nintendo would stop them. If yuzu devs want to go to court, they can continue development.

Yuzu devs could do it anonymously, but that’s gl on not doxxing yourself, at risk of lawsuit.

The people still choose reddit/Facebook/google. I don’t know we’re supposed to change that without actually removing people’s freedom of choice.

In my opinion/experience, it’s for a few reasons. People are marketed these centralized platforms, typically they’re very/fairly simple to use, and those platforms already have an established userbase. Combined with the other factors, the userbase will keep growing, which also incentivizes Even more users to adopt the platform.

For most people, there’s no incentive to use some small random forum. And these small random forums aren’t typically run for profit, meaning people aren’t paying for ads for their niche forum or hobby website because it’s just a hobby, not a business run for profit. Whereas people will see countless ads for Instagram or TikTok. Typically, people who don’t block ads, and use these sorts of media didn’t care enough to bother looking for alternative platforms, they couldn’t even be bothered to set up an adblocker.

most cryptos are pseudonymous. so, nobody knows who you are until you inevitably tie that pseudonym back to yourself somehow. like if you attempt to cash out, or use that pseudonym (wallet) to pay for something that could be linked to your real identity.

tbh it’s better than their previous UI

Old Reddit > Current New Reddit > “Old” New Reddit

any benefits of this over Spicetify? does SpotX also support theming?

Ads are ads, just because it from the same ecosystem is moot.

so should Steam not have any game discovery features? Is it bad for Steam to display “trending games” because it’s technically advertising them by showcasing them?

go to your library there is ads for updates for your games.

I have no problem with patch notes

what kind of apps cant be updated through playstore/fdroid?

it’s not that they can’t be (maybe some apps I use can’t) but rather that I don’t like some things about F-Droid. One of the big things being unreliable app updates. They are often significantly outdated compared to GitHub releases.

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/android/#f-droid

“Due to their process of building apps, apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates. F-Droid maintainers also reuse package IDs while signing apps with their own keys, which is not ideal as it gives the F-Droid team ultimate trust.”

• Simple Gallery for your gallery (just purchased but there is an emerging fork I’m blanking on the name of)

https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery

Simple Gallery was bought by ZipoApps and will be soon flooded with ads and tracking garbage, FossifyOrg forked the whole simple mobile tools suite, and will continue development independently of ZipoApps

Obtainium is great for updating apps hosted outside the playstore, big upside being you don’t need to bother with FDroid releases

I just think it’s quite funny that in their justification, they project their own arrogant judgemental attitude towards those they justify their own behavior against.

[it’s justified because] best case scenario, [the reason why] you don’t [have social media] is probably from having some sort of arrogant judgement value about people who do

seriously? I think that’s where people disagree.

it’d be different if they said:

a single woman setting up dates is going to use what limited info they have to avoid stalkers, cheaters, red pillers, and anti social people. That this might filter out perfectly normal people along with the creeps is the cost of maintaining safety and not wasting time, which is pretty much par for the course in dating

but that’s not what they said, and that’s not what people are responding to.

Imagine if some guy said:

“honestly, dating women who have social media is a red flag, at best they’re probably attention whores, but there’s also a good chance they’re a cheating slut.”

now imagine if someone responded to the “rustled jimmies” with

well, obviously they meant ((something else))

same thing, they should’ve said that then

I can only think of one extension that I’d really like on mobile right now (nitter redirect), but this is great for the future of Firefox

Managing a digital library is not appealing to 99% of people.

I wouldn’t say that’s true. Probably 99% of people who use a streaming service still manage their library on that platform in some capacity (playlists, etc.)

Now if you’re talking about “owning and managing your entire library” then yeah, I’d say most people probably don’t care or are too lazy to bother with it. (and I don’t mean that as an insult)

Still, for people who like or listen to music that isn’t included in their primary music streaming service’s library, owning portions of their library will often give them the capacity to mix in the rest of their music to their platform of choice. I wouldn’t say that’s irrelevant when talking about streaming services. Sadly, Apple makes this process more difficult than it needs to be.
