The ship of “Lemmy must be entirely FOSS” has sailed. You can either invest time or money and even then there are some tradeoffs of things that can’t be swapped out. Datadog and Cloudflare are two of those such things.

Lemmy (including lemmy.world) are at a critical junction to continue to grow or lose momentum. These DDOSs are one such thing that caused it and everyone going “FOSS, FOSS, FOSS!” are another. If they have time in the future there may be a possibility, but when playing the growth game sometimes you have to go with the best tool available even if it doesn’t meet your ideals.

Sync for Reddit is another such tool. I’ve seen so much hate for it because it’s not pure FOSS, pay no mind to the sheer number of people that have downloaded it, are using it and have helped drive traffic to Lemmy and the Fediverse in general.

Nothing is stopping you from using a fully FOSS front end with your own server, that’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you can choose what you want and still interact with others, but don’t get on their case when they select something you don’t like.

It’s probably the most secure,. commonly available, messaging platform right now. They keep a bare minimum of metadata on their servers. Basically enough to link you on the platform. After that, everything is e2e encrypted and they can’t tell authorities anything.

Other platforms are a sliding scale from to/from/time data, all the way up to full messages.

Subscribe to all of them, pick one you like the most to post too. Welcome to the fediverse.

Maybe mentally I’ve already been hit with inflation, but $2 and “significant increase” do not tie out to me.

Pregnant and he was 59?

I did that as a kid in school passing notes!

I’ll look into SetEdit, thank you!

You can change it once connected, but every time it defaults back to LDAC

Publicly traceable and verifiable hashes of the images authenticity. Submitting a hash of the image can prove who submitted it and when and then any altering of the image would yield a different hash which you would know you’re not looking at the original image.

I know Blockchain is always in search of a solution, but is this one place where it may work? Take a hash of the image and store that hash in a chain, that way you can always hash the image and see if it’s been altered?

Side by side test with my headphones showed better speration of the range (including bass) and a more solid connection, especially while flying. Kept having LADC constantly try to bitrate switch on me, and when I set it on highest quality it kept cutting in and out at times. Sample size of 1 so YMMV.

I actually prefer AptX HD but I wish my Android would default to it instead of LDAC

That’s odd. I just went straight to the menu in Firefox and hit install, no problems and it’s my default browser.

Ah Slackware, the first time that I learned software could damage hardware. It has the option to also configure hsync on your CRT monitor, and if said monitor didn’t correctly validate the range it would permanently fuck it up.

Spoiler alert: she didn’t buy it for you to see…

You’re just not going to give up this crusade are you? Going to start comparing salaries of line workers to starving kids in Africa again?

Nah, just not in to martyr type “woe is me” whining. The platform is what you chose to make of it. You can contribute positively and help build a platform, or you can whine and expect things to be delivered how you want. It’s really up to you.

2 is kinda the WIS vs INT debate. You may be able to memorize and recall things but not understand and act on nuances in the moment.

Did they turn out alright though?
