Everything looks cool with confidence!

It makes the account seem legitimate, same as on Reddit.

Anyone else notice the bots with 5 letter names spam posting comics here? Didn’t take long for bot infiltration and karma farming to infect the fediverse.

Thank you. This has been bothering me for years. I’ll stock up on good ones for the house remodel!

Is that you, Salad Fingers?

Nope, but I did move from Waze to Google Maps and now settled on Apple Maps because of increasing enshittification and ad bloat.

Nope, I think our only hope is the EU forcing more openness on the platform. Thankfully there are safari addons now, they’re useful though limited. I just wish we had Firefox and its extension library like android does now.

You’re right about Apple. I hope the EU will force openness into the ecosystem. I’m also hopeful that open and free alternatives will continue to become more viable in terms of user experience; the switch to Lemmy from Reddit has been mostly painless.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Edit: Raivo is perfect for a dedicated Authenticator app in the Apple ecosystem. I’ll likely pay for Bitwarden instead as I want to support their great product.

Any iOS alternatives? Couldn’t find either of these in the App Store.

If you’re only accessing the server remotely via Tailscale and no ports are open, is it necessary to have the server on its own isolated VLAN? I like accessing my server locally most of the time and via Tailscale when I’m out and about.

The second reason for me was advertising inside Plex, and generally a UI focused on what they want me to see instead of what I want to do. Jellyfin isn’t a commercial product so it won’t get enshittified over time.

Have you managed to avoid ads on YouTube? Does it work well for streaming games from a PC?

Collecting the data is necessary for the functionality of the site. Lemmy collects that same data. Sharing that data with third parties and potential ramifications of that is the issue I’m raising.

Sharing and/or selling that data to third parties that do have personally identifiable information… now they know everything about your porn habits et al., that data is more easily leaked the wider it’s spread, you’re more easily doxxed/blackmailed, etc.

Reiverr looks great, I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
