Except for porn of course, that instance already allows 25MB uploads

Pretty cool, seems like they're all gpt-3.5 at best but it's really nice to not sign in

User also joined lemm.ee at the same time they crossposted these and neither them or the OP has replied, something is sketchy...

Never knew that was a thing for reddit and now I really want it for lemmy!

Yeah I'll be very surprised if this goes anywhere, are they going to sue cliffsnotes as well?

Oops that's not good, I can't access it either

Nitter is your friend

Yeah this is a great tip, you can get some that can fast charge your phone and plug directly into the wall. You can use it as a normal phone charger and then unplug it and bring it with you for 10,000mAh on the go

I'm guessing it's the patch they did to show NSFW content whether or not the NSFW checkbox is checked.

That's what I'm wondering, how would they enforce these rules for any instance that isn't based in their state?

Nope Nitter is a custom front end for Twitter, here's the description from GitHub Really awesome project:

A free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy and performance. Inspired by the Invidious project.

• No JavaScript or ads
• All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Twitter
• Prevents Twitter from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
• Uses Twitter's unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)
• Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 60KB vs 784KB from twitter.com)
• RSS feeds
• Themes
• Mobile support (responsive design)
• AGPLv3 licensed, no proprietary instances permitted

That and the call screening! Anyone not in my contacts gets to talk to the Google AI, haven't been bothered by spam calls in years!

This is exactly why I'll never buy from Apple, the first problem in addition to the horrible contrast is intentionally caused by them so you will think other services are inferior. Either that or it's your cell provider, I've been able to text and call over Wi-Fi for years.

Google FI also works with networks from all over the world for no extra cost so that's really nice for international travel.

This is great, already use that feature to whitelist my contacts list and love the silence

I was wondering where I took that picture! I knew it was during my drive to Tacoma but couldn't remember where. Had my DSLR on me.

This is awesome, found a tiny instance near me and it's the fastest one I've used yet

This is the first I've heard of LASIM, love that it copies blocks as well. I've been using lemmy-migrate and I don't think there's any options for block lists but otherwise it works really well across multiple accounts

Barred from Louisiana, Virginia, and Utah? I'd take my chances 😂

Thank you! This is helpful. I finally found it and got it to load all the posts.

Yeah I'm still trying to figure that stuff out. I can find my username from lemm.ee but not the community that I made there. Same with kbin, I can find my lemm.ee user but can't find the community for the life of me.

Just out of curiosity I tried getting the server running on my Android phone and it works! Redirect from the UntrackMe app is also working. Not sure how much of a battery drain it will be but I'll keep testing it.

Yep this is the best advice. Block memes, shitposts, and 196 and your feed will look much nicer

Edit: I got it backwards, meaning these are what I'd consider acceptable places to charge your phone.

Airport? Yeah but use a no-data charging cable.

Mall? I don't see why anyone would care about that.

Restaurant? If it's under your table or very close by.

Parking lot? Do they have outlets?

Stadium? Where would they be charging it at a stadium, maybe where the bathrooms and concessions are? If it's out of the way I don't think that would bother anyone.

Your friends house? Yeah unless they're running an off-the-grid setup or something.

The office? Yes fuck the man.

Classroom? I assume they can charge it somewhere while in class, I've been out of there for a while though.

Museum? Eh, feel like it can wait.

Cinema? No.

This is great and very reminiscent of stumbleupon

Hey I know that name too! I use (or I guess used) Untrackme for nitter. Thank you for helping me avoid these terrible companies!

Thanks! It was my first time being that far west and it was a stunning welcome for sure

Really wish we could get an updated Planetbase and some more maps. I love that game

Fair enough, I see your point. I don't take the SIM card out when traveling though, I use dual SIM.

I just think having a standardized messaging service is important, something that doesn't need an app download or login. From what I can find RCS is free to use over Wi-Fi regardless of the country, and sending over data should also barely cost anything, it wouldn't be a 'per message' charge like SMS. And I can't help but wonder how much its adoption is affected by one of the world's most influential corporations deciding to not support it. I guess that's what's so frustrating to me.

I think of it every time I see 'alot', but honestly I thought it was from the oatmeal comics before I looked it up to find this picture. I don't think I've seen the source in over 5 years!

Super cool, didn't know friendica could post to Lemmy communities!

Nitter is like a window to Twitter, letting you see tweets without all the extra stuff like ads or trackers. It's similar to how BetterDiscord makes using Discord more enjoyable. However, unlike with BetterDiscord, you can't sign in to Nitter. This is because Nitter prioritizes privacy and simplicity. When you sign in, you share personal data, but Nitter avoids this to keep your information safe. So, you can view tweets through Nitter, but for things like tweeting, liking, or retweeting, you would have to go to Twitter directly.

I use it because Twitter has a vast amount of information but I want nothing to do with the company itself. And there are handy apps like UntrackMe for Android and LibRedirect for desktop browsers that will automatically redirect to the open source alternatives.

I put a guide on GitHub, not sure if there's a better place to host it.

The problem is that SMS and RCS are the only standardized ones, with RCS having many of the features that services like iMessage and WhatsApp offer. Once again it's Apple that stands in the way because they like their users thinking everything non-Apple is inferior, and they refuse to support RCS.
