I personnaly agree with you. If content is not supposed to be searchable, maybe don’t post it online. It is a different problem for writers, artists and possibly even journalists.

But I think it’s a fair debate - unfortuantely one that was one (or the only?) reason the whole reddit API debacle startetd.

On the other hand maybe Lemmy should allow certain communities allow an “only for members” view?

I have not touched reddit since this debacle… I added a bunch of subreddits to my RSS reader, but I’m honestly not looking at it.

Unfortunately searching for information often brings me to a reddit post, but I’m trying to avoid it and so far found the information elsewhere.

evolution works ok, I just don’t like the look and feel. There’s a lot of customization possible … but it’s just not for me somehow. so far the thunderbird beta is quite nice.

If that wasn’t abstract enough … there was Ren & Stimpy.

uh. that looks promising! I heard about it but that was a long time ago and I forgot. thanks @sibloure@beehaw.org :)

I always wished this would be on the 1.st setup startpage of every home router. ever. It would make me very happy

Same. And all I got was the one with 4 colours.

I’d want to love it…

but as ridiculous as it sounds, for something like this to be really useful to me I unfortunately need a mobile app. a web-app seems hard to realize for a real e2e encryption & sync - for my scenario :(

I’m aware how much effort this is already… it looks good but as much as I want to use it, I can’t due to my workflow requiring a mobile device app (iOS in my case)

but it does look really promising!

It might be cheap but it’s also very reliable, intuitive, familiar and all that in even weird conditions… which millions of controllers prove in any gamers household every day. In addition it’s used by military forces all around the world - including bomb squads because it works (mostly its the xbox 360 as far ad know)

the problem is elsewhere - i’m almost certain of it.

Best I can do is spent some of the claps I have left from the generous clapping during covid.

My thoughts exactly. I don’t want anyone to get hurt or anything. but the attention to THIS over anything else that’s going on right now is just wrong.

Good question, I’d love to know myself.

Most chatrooms I see (regardless with protocol or platform) are idled to death by everyone; regardless how small or big the room is - there’s just not much going on. And starting a conversation is often difficult

I guess people are burned out with and by various chats. Work-chat, Kids, Family-chat, School-parents-group-chat …

It’s easy. Stop parking and “unloading” on the fucking bike path. Getting doored is also a messed up encounter… Not recommendet.

Since none of this is going to change … self inflicted wound.

Greed. Nothing else.

If you’re in Europe it’s very easy. A GDPR request is supposed to give you everything you want (and don’t want) from your account. Chats, comments, posts, … everything.

If you’re not in europe… phew. I don’t know. But i’m sure there’s a script on GitHub. Can’t search GitHub right now, it’s blocked in the office network :( (for good reason…)

A major issue in my opinion is cloudflare. It’s horrible…

that option would be very nice, yep. especially on somethign like an ipad etc.

I agree fully, but I want to add that I would not suggest a freerange VPN.

Nothing is free on a free VPN - you pay with your data. It’s always a question of trust using any type of VPN, but a free VPN is 100% going to sell collected information to … whom ever.

Anything else. Yes. Save everything, leech everything. I hate streaming music… it makes no sense to me. A movie I watch once … mh. maybe. Anything else. Load it. Save it. Hoard it.
