I think there's a setting to bring back the buttons, if you want that.

Settings -> System -> Gestures -> System navigation

Just use Firefox? Available on desktop and Android.

It even has adblock extensions on Android!

All piracy is ethical because Intellectual Property is a lie.

I will pirate from megacorps and indies, anyone who sets up a demand based distribution system for products.

The only products I will not pirate are those that have a needs based distribution system and are finite.

Pretty sure this is just the apps adding up all the upvotes/downvotes you receive and not an actual Lemmy feature.

Really expensive over here, so people only buy them for status basically. Having an iPhone signifies that you're well off enough to not worry about price.

I had a friend who said exactly this. She was just buying it to show off basically. She didn't even believe me when I said the back was glass for some reason lol. And when she got it, she had to get used to counter-intuitive behaviour like the power button cutting a WhatsApp call. She did this multiple times on a call with me, it was pretty funny!

Another friend kinda regrets buying it now because he feels locked in to the Apple ecosystem.

Personally, I don't think I'll ever switch because F-Droid is a huge part of my phone experience. When my Pixel runs out of support, I'll probably just root it.

It's a great phone. Solid hardware, good software. Just not for me.

It's interesting to see the perspective of non-Western/global south audiences compared to a Western/global north audience.

Running a Pixel 6 with default OS right now.

Will change to GrapheneOS when it's no longer supported.

Why did I choose it? Because there's no real choice besides Android in the phone world. Apple won't let me install the things I need and is unnecessarily expensive. Plus, the camera is really good.

I used to, but then they removed crypto because of propaganda efforts by reactionary idiots masquerading as progressives. Now, I have no way to donate to them.

I'm in law school.

Yup, I joined in 2021 too and it was a ghost town. Just seeing hundreds of comments on posts is a shock.

Expected.

Done!

That would be:

Dota 2

Warframe

Path of Exile

Skyrim

Mass Effect 3

Dragon Age: Origins

Apex Legends

Gonna say that comment sounds very nationalistic and xenophobic to me. Would I ban you for it? No. But you'd definitely get a warning if I was the mod.

Unless you're doing the same thing for anyone flying the US flag, that's just standard hypocrisy.

I don't think Lemmy supports Russia. It's very anti-imperialism in general, which is a good thing! But, Americans advocating for violence exclusively against other imperialist symbols just smacks of double standards, ya know?

There is no need for all businesses to be cooperatives. Just require that majority voting shares be held by workers in a business always. Other people can buy shares to sell if they go higher or for dividend payouts. This would secure worker ownership of a business while still allowing for markets.

While banks should be part of the funding structure, disallowing VCs would have to mean disallowing any person from investing in anything, since that's what VCs are, just a bunch of people getting together and putting money into things.

They're the same for me because my account is 2 years old when lemmy.ml was the only instance with the bare minimum activity!

I'm finally part of the 1%!

You don't have to sign up to different instances. You can just join the sublemms and it will show up on your feed.

It's like having an email and signing up to different newsletters through other sites.

Yeah, the original creators ask you to pirate it instead.

Honestly, they are pretty well funded and don't need the money. I just redirected my money to SciHub and Lemmy now.

Well, the badge can be displayed only after the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain. Easy way to verify and prevent spam awards.

I'm from India and it's about ₹120 ~ $1.4.

Cis is not a slur lol

India here. I can drink tap water without boiling, it just has a slight chlorinated taste. That's why we prefer to filter it, rather than boil.

You know, I did have this problem like a year ago. Except, it was a problem with saving the database. I don't know what happened but haven't faced it in a long time now.

You don't really need Lemmy to change anything. Just have the user fill in a wallet field in their profile and Lemmy to have their own wallet address. Now, you can tip a user and have some of that go to Lemmy as well by specifying the ratio in the contract or even having it being customisable by the donor.

I think people have already answered your question. Just to add on, think about stuff that happened before the creation of an IP regime. Were people not creating things back then?

I would also like to clarify that I'm not talking about forcing people to reveal their secrets. If you want to keep your thing a secret, you're welcome to. But, there should be no state prosecution if that thing gets made public.

And I do buy things if I enjoyed them and want to reward the creators. When I was a poor kid with no funds, I pirated a lot of videogames. Now that I'm a slightly older kid with some funds, I buy the games that I enjoy and my game piracy has gone down a lot. Without piracy, these future sales from me would have been lost because I probably wouldn't care about videogames. Not a justification, just my feelings.

Ah even leftists have these views? Those are common anti-establishment viewpoints.

I went through the same process you did. Created this account a long time ago. Revisiting because reddit is being weird. And, the cross instance functionality and UX really needs an upgrade.

Almost done with Control right now. It's a really good game. A little too creepy though!

What wrong with it?

Then they never believed in it to begin with. Freedom comes with a cost.

It's not surprising that people who have unacceptable views seek out the freest medium to express them. That's always been the case.

You need the crazies to be crazy for alternate media to exist.

Thanks for the tip!

  1. There are managers that will store them on their servers and others that are local.

  2. You can sync it through something like Google drive/Nextcloud.

  3. You should back up your password vault.

  4. Your device may be compromised, but your vault is still encrypted. Really depends on what kind of hack it is.

  5. You don't really unless they're an open source one like Bitwarden.

  6. Yes. Instead of remembering a lot of passwords, you remember the master password to your vault

  7. No. Because randomly generated passwords gated behind one secure password you remember is better than reusing the same/variations of one password.

You can try Bitwarden if you want a hosted solution that's easy to use. Or, use KeePassXC and compatible mobile apps while syncing it through a cloud service. I do the latter.

Can't you just download the file from the repo and install it?

Lineage or Calyx should have you covered.

Never used a Macbook, but most software companies love them for some reason.

Probably should also get it on the Google Play Store! F-Droid is a pretty niche market and Android has the widest audience.

I was using this when I first signed up for Lemmy and it definitely felt better than Jerboa.

I think this is concentrated in the West. In Asia, the sentiment ranges from huh? to ooh that's nifty.

Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore are quickly rolling out the red carpet for crypto businesses and coming up with actually feasible regulations around them.

You know what? I didn't think about that!
