This is Beehaw and we aim to be a nice place, right? So to me is kind of pointless this kind of discussions and I just meant to say that your comment sounded very judgemental and it could be written in a nicer way, that's all.

Edit: Check OP's new comment on the post.

Templa , 1 month ago to Privacy in Instagram locked my account and forced me to appeal and send a picture of my face, so I sent a picture of Shrek. They deleted my account

I've had this happen and did upload the selfie but I think it happened because I was blocking some extra stuff that it was flagging my account to be automated

If you phrased your initial question differently or asked more details about OP's use case I think it would be completely fine. For example, they might be the "sys admin" where they live but their family members would be extremely annoyed if they tried to push Linux.

Just kind tired of the "you cannot ask for FOSS alternatives if you are using something proprietary" and ended up venting because of your comment, that's all.

I knew I was going to find a comment like this and I am disappointed that I did.

It is hard for people to make transitions specially because they probably used Windows their own life. If they are asking for a FOSS firewall they most likely know they should transition to Linux at some point. There is actually no need to be the questioning person.

I use arch btw

Templa , 1 month ago to Technology in I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun

The only reason I stopped using my iPod was because I lost it. 🥲

It was my companion for many many years, I think I lost it in 2016 or something. I recently started considering getting another one, but I honestly wouldn't like having to install iTunes just for it.

Templa , 1 month ago to Privacy in Why people don't talk about Google Maps' privacy issues

I always try to keep in mind there are a lot of people that are simply unable to transition to alternative apps because they lack knowledge and time to do research on such things. What we see through videos isn't the majority of the people, it is people that make content for the majority.

People have hard times getting into more technical stuff already. Expecting people that are struggling to survive in capitalism to spend their free time learning about underground alternatives or to turn into sys admins and host their own stuff is out of touch if reality in my opinion.

Edit: just wanted to add, I wouldn't say the problem is on the people, but on big tech that predates on them

I think it is weird they didn't say anything before, considering Dorsey deleted his account 8 months ago.

Templa , 2 months ago to Technology in Bluesky confirms Jack Dorsey is no longer on its board

Are you assuming he was the one behind the decision of not using ActivityPub?

Templa , 2 months ago to Technology in What do you personally use AI for?

I tried using ChatGPT for making cover letters a while ago but the results were terrible, I do better just writing them myself.

Templa , 2 months ago to Privacy in Is Mull a good private browser for android?

I stopped using it after I was having many crashing issues (it was from upstream, but at the time upstream was already updated and it took weeks for them to release an update). Since Mull is just Firefox with a few settings changed I decided to use regular firefox, but it seems that on Android if you are really rad about privacy you should be using Vanadium (which unfortunately is Chromium based)

Even before all this I always used to prefer traveling through Embraer planes. I have an irrational fear of flying after an awful turbulence I've experienced.

There's this air company in Brazil called Azul and their fleet is pretty much a mix of Embraer and Airbus.

I'm surprised Embraer isn't more popular.

My biggest issue with Logsec is the CLA signing. I still use it but don't feel like contributing to it anymore
