Not OP, but it's still lack of hardware support for me. I tried to daily Linux on my laptop and gave up in frustration after several months because a few key pieces of hardware are not supported and seemingly never will be.

Take a look at Meta revenue numbers, they can afford billions in R&D investment just fine. I'm not sure what market share you're talking about but there's plenty of money for them to afford the VR research they do.

NextDNS - I use it on my router and all mobile devices.

I pay for mine, not sure how it differs from the free version but you can turn logging off, or if you have logging on you can specific how long to store logs and what jurisdiction to keep them in (I keep mine for a few months in Switzerland). You of course have to place some trust in NextDNS the company that they are actually doing what they claim to do as far as respecting user privacy but I trust them more than Google and Cloudflare, which is what I was using previously.

I sort of miss the screws too but it's so much better when a cable accidentally gets yanked and it just comes right out instead of transmitting the force into whatever it's attached to.

Why do you believe "the process must start elsewhere"? I've literally had YouTube start feeding me this sort of content, which I have no interest in at all and actively try to avoid. It seems very obvious that YouTube is a major factor in inculcating these belief systems in people who would otherwise not be exposed to them without YouTube ensuring they reach an audience.

Hey I'm sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy. I was wondering if there was any way to sign up to these things whilst limiting the data they have access to. Would it be enough to sign up with fake details and never use...

That's part of the fun. Sometimes you get someone else's fuel points too. It's kind of like gambling whenever you fuel up. Over the long term it probably evens out, or at least I feel like I get a fuel discount pretty often with it so I don't worry about it. Worse case I'm helping someone else save a few bucks, it doesn't feel like a problem.

I heard you guys have recently told Beehaw to quit using Lemmy, is that not correct, or how does this square with what you are saying here?

ultranaut ,

I know the devs can't control who uses the software but apparently they want Beehaw to quit using Lemmy. It seems strange to me, especially after reading this comment, that's why I asked.

This has some screenshots: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

Beehaw has just published a thing explaining their current situation and it includes some conversations with Lemmy devs where it looks like they are being told to fuck off and stop being a part of Lemmy: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

Characterizing the concerns they have expressed as "whining" seems uncharitable, and "code or shut up" really doesn't sound like a good response.

ultranaut ,

From what's in their essay it doesn't seem like they are dictating what the devs prioritize. Regardless, I don't see how they could dictate anything since they lack power over the devs. You keep characterizing them in negative ways, what's that about? I feel like I'm missing something here.

ultranaut ,

I believe they mentioned that in their essay I linked to in this thread yesterday, they looked into starting a bounty system for new features but the Lemmy devs told them not to do it so the idea was abandoned.

ultranaut ,

I didn't read the whole thing but I made it to your quote and I think their point is intended to be anti-racist. They are saying films have a sort of universal human experience or perspective or whatever you want to call it that's been "white" by default but shouldn't be.

This has been annoying the shit out of me recently. I use several different computers so I keep running into this dumb shit. I feel like I'm in an endless fight to not use Edge. Microsoft knows I don't want to use it but they keep shoving it in my face again and again regardless. I really wish regulators would step in and put a stop to this nonsense.

The one that ripped open while flying was only 3 months old.

I blocked it with nextdns, my Roku shows no ads at all. Instead there's just a blank space where the ads would be, which is so much better and less obnoxious.

ultranaut ,

You don't have to, nextdns on my router handles the Roku.
