FYI the link you shared causes a modal to appear showing your full name and a picture of your face.

If that was intentional, carry on - but, if not, you might want to delete this post/re-upload with a sanitized link (if that’s even possible)!

Might need to find more active communities?

The spam thing is annoying, but is a result of anyone being able to join a room and just upload images.

Really wish the large rooms would just disable image uploads, or use a bot to police new users a bit.

Sorry, I don’t use proton mail. It sounds annoying, but please understand that I am not talking from the perspective of a person who uses the service and is directly affected by them.

Hmm, guess I was wrong, then - that would be very annoying; especially if you’re getting pop-ups for a family plan you won’t ever be able to make use of as you’re a solo user.

Ah, you’re right - that is very annoying.

They mentioned that they bought premium, so they won’t be seeing ads. Edit: Multiple people below are telling me that purchasing premium does not remove all ads, so that’s actually quite annoying.

As an aside, I really don’t get the logic of using a service like e-mail and just expecting it to be free - it’s very bizarre to me.

If it’s something important to you (as I assume e-mail is), pay for it - or stop whining about ads/nagging pop-ups.

And if you can’t pay for it, download Dovecot and try doing it yourself - it’s a fun experience, and will make you appreciate the work done by email providers. Spoiler alert: it’s a massive pain in the butt.

Run not one, but two electron based apps? 😅

All jokes aside, most desktop apps and web browsers, nowadays, use ungodly amounts of RAM. The pessimist in me blames Chrome and electron, but in reality it just comes down to programmers being more accustom to having access to more memory than they need.

I say relax and enjoy the lack of slowdowns - having too much RAM is not a problem, but having too little is. Your only concern should ever be trying to avoid the latter, and with 32gb of RAM you should be good until the next big Discord update. (slight /s on that last point)

This might be right up your alley.

An Amazon Fire Stick

Try Baikal, it’s a pretty lightweight CalDAV server!

Any client I use it with supports notifications, however it should also be able to send emails for you (e.g. Its scheduling feature).

One thing to add, it looks like Flipboard is all in on the Fediverse: they’ve announced plans to support ActivityPub in Flipboard itself, turning it into a federated service.

I think that’s really cool!

It would, yes. But, the argument is that a person who wants a higher quality of life than “simply living” would be expected to work.

The right to life is, this way, protected - the right to a quality life, similar to today, would still have to be earned. This is in addition to the social pressure to work.

Yes, funding UBI with raised corporate taxes is absolutely not optional, I agree completely.

At the end of the day, simplified, UBI means: massive cuts to the workforce, in lieu of technology that can perform the exact same tasks more efficiently, for less; all the while paying people money at the same or similar levels of what they earned before.

It would be insane to assume the former would just grow wealthier over night while the latter is relegated to being financed by - in this example - wishful thinking. The money’s gotta come from somewhere, and it makes sense it be the same place it’s (supposed to be) coming from now.

Isn’t this the primary argument for universal basic income? If you’re keeping unnecessary jobs around just to give people something to do, you’re not actually keeping them for contributions to society… In the long run ubi could probably even be cheaper than paying to prop up obsolete and wholly unnecessary industries.

This is good news. Say what you want about MS, link for Windows is great. I use it pretty regularly for calls and screensharing.

It’s great stuff, but I don’t like having to support individual shows - I want to just get the bundle and support all the big ones. :/ So bizarre that it’s not available in every state.

I’m an avid reader and listener of NPR (and I do support my local station - fingers crossed we’ll get the NPR+ bundle soon), and I have yet to see any article that even remotely seemed to be written by an AI.

What do we do in this case?

Correct. The level of entitlement I’ve seen here on Lemmy is generally astonishing.

These companies have dozens of members of staff who absolutely deserve to be paid for their work. They’re not allowed to run ads, they’re not allowed to ask to be paid, what the fuck else are they supposed to do?

Fuck, even for YouTube - if you use the service, either pay, watch ads, or just don’t use the service at all. It’s not that hard.

I personally use Matrix, but to each their own!
