Hobesrly with the angles of the body cams I doubt anything would be visible. 100% be audible though.

Afaik it’s a limit of how the protocol works. (This is speculation) They tie your whole account to your username, instead of some back end identifier, so it’s not as easy as making account number 7826457(at)domain.com present as a different name, it would have to change the whole account, and copy all of the information over, and then delete the old account

This. There’s not really a big reason to pull your post history, or bring followers over, because you aren’t the point

I didn’t realize Memories had a mobile app, and it has literally both of the features xD Looks near identical to Google photos, and has map pins in the app. Sweet, ty!

username changing

It is technically possible, it is just extremely difficult, you’ll need an admin to do it for you (many won’t know how, and many will be unwilling), and it will 100% cause problems down the line. I wish it wasn’t too, though, I usually change my online name every few years, and having to restart is a little annoying.

Account migration

It’s possible on most fedi platforms, seems Lemmy doesn’t offer it though. Not surprising, given it’s not really the same kind of platform as the broader fediverse is.

There are some softwares that offer it, I know Friendica has regex-based filtering. Idk I’d any of the lemmy-likes do, though

The amount of times I heard "le dollar bean, “sewer slidal,” or “unalived” was part of what made me uninstall the app back in 2020. Got a little tired of willingly participating in the plot of 1984.

Depending on where they are, it’s most likely not enough, and that’s if they can even qualify in the first place. Even people will well-documented disabilities struggle to get on assistance programs in some areas

My own personal experience over the past year with it has… Largely not lined up with that? The install process was easy, I do have gplay enabled but rarely use it, favoring fdroid, and it’s… Been fine? It’s felt mostly like stock android tbh

Ahh, fair. I generally see that as a justification for recommending it to the general public, sorry xD

Email, Nebula, Dropout, Borgbase, a domain name.

I also have humble choice, but that’s a bit of a tossup. I’ve found some great games through it that I still play, but most months it still feels worth it to me

Edit: Forgot Mullvad VPN! Love that thing, 15/10 would recommend. Reddit doesn’t like it, but also I don’t like reddit so whatever

Wasn’t there one that was basically giving away cubes of tungsten for free?

Remember: Companies don’t learn lessons, they react to profits. They’re 100% gonna boil the frog here.

xD It’s one of my omg.lol domains, and everything fedi needs its own subdomain, so I gave it a random one from the diceware list

Yeah… I tend to keep my accounts here as a “Do I really need/want the UI, or can I just do it on my main account?” and judge from there. Like. It’s fair to me that Friendica, Mastodon, Hubzilla, and the *keys share a protocol. They’re all doing the same fundamental thing in a slightly different way: Blogging/microblogging. What the fediverse was built on, largely.

It is weird to me that Lemmy, Bookwyrm, Funkwhale, and to a lesser extent PeerTube are all on that same network. A community-based content aggregator, book reviewer, music hoster, and video hoster on that same network feels weird, and as a result I do have a Lemmy, and a Friendica account. I don’t care to have a Mastodon/GTS/*key account on top of it because they function near identically, but these are all fundamentally different pieces of software. You subscribe to one Lemmy community, and that’s your entire feed now. Bookwyrm functionally can’t use Mastodon posts, and you’re not going to Mastodon for that flavor of book review, etc.

About 3 years in, and same as it has been: Discovery’s kinda ass if you’re not on the big servers. This is both a positive and a negative. In most cases it leads to a lack of content directly, and for services like Lemmy, it leads to communities being more dispersed.

I think giving servers the option to run on a whitelist basis instead of a blacklist for other servers would be good. Federation is cool for a lot of reasons, but if your goal is to be a dick you can do that on a $5/mo server with a few cheap domains. Plus I’ve wanted to self-host some things that I don’t necessarily want federated, like Bookwyrm. I was looking at setting one up as a fanfic sharing thing, and a lot of fanfic authors don’t want their stuff on platforms like Goodreads for valid reasons, and I personally feel like having it federated would kinda defeat the purpose there. While I was typing this out I just had an idea that might have fixed that problem, actually, I’ll test that later

In the same vain, allowing servers to share their blocklists with other servers would help a lot as well. Yes you can see the block list publicly (though some servers do disable it), but manually copying it is a massive chore, and keeping it updated is even worse.

I mean, Mozilla themselves are calling it that, or at least were

Waterfox if you want something that still feels like a modern browser, LibreWolf if you don’t mind having stricter defaults. If you want the nuclear option, Mullvad browser is good, it is very inconvenient thoygh. At least for desktop. On mobile I use Vivaldi/Fennec/Vanadium depending on need

This post, to my reading, is about how desktop PCs are disposable, and my comment is providing evidence to the contrary

I wasn’t talking about a new build at any point in my comment.
