I noticed this a few days ago. https://stgraber.org/2023/07/10/time-to-move-on/

And non-disclosure mentioned. Will they be wanting participants to sign an NDA?

I joined back in April (then forgot about it...) so should I consider myself an early adoptor? Anyways, I'll spend some time familiarising myself again.

Same issue here. I won't pretend to understand the reasons behind it, only panic because I saw the error 😔 pop-up.

Keep us updated how this goes. Are they even governed by EU law if they are in the US?

Please disregard, I see there's already a thread about this.

According to this article in The Guardian, they lost out by just 15 votes. So close.

Hello. Been here since April already. I'm a late Baby boomer, dad to one, granddad to four. Quite introvert and reserved (unless alcohol is involved) but if you poke me enough I might engage in conversation with you. Self-deprecating sense of humour. ::: spoiler More...

Most of the time live in the UK but my SO lives in the US and I spend a couple of months a year over there, she spends time here too. We'll eventually settle in one place but for now we both have active jobs so this has been a good compromise for the last 15 years. Add step-dad to one and step-granddad to two.

Religious beliefs - confirmed atheist - but I respect others' beliefs if that's what they choose and they live by their convictions (not just the one hour they attend their place of worship a week.)

Sexual orientation - I am a heterosexual male, however. I strongly believe that others may have different preferences, or be uncertain what their preferences are and I respect and accept this. I also encourage others who have narrower views to do the same.

I currently work in a technical support role in Civil Aviation, where most of the systems are now at the trailing edge of technology.

I feel that the Fediverse is a good thing and I hope it succeeds. But I do feel I've been here before with Fidonet and BBSs (bulletin boards), Usenet (internet newsgroups but before they were polluted by the Google Groups interface) and of course #IRC. Big Tech turned the internet into a consumer and business tool and monetised it by capturing the users in their walled gardens (yes, F.., T.., R.., G..,) Some of these I do still use to engage with less tech-savvy family and friends.

Updated to add my Mastodon link

I lose interest and it becomes work

I know that feeling all too well...

I was going to overwrite mine after 14 years but a significant event made me hold off. My home city in the UK has been in the news for all the wrong reasons and r/nottingham is useful to keep up with events without having to trawl through the mainstream media and all the right-wing trolling that follows them. Maybe next week when I get back home and things have calmed down.

I am having a similar issue here at beehaw.org. I can't see anything from @lemmy.link listed in the communities.

Long time Fastmail user here. Where is it failing with respect to privacy?

Yes. I would send for The Cleaner.

Most of the time I just use the Fastmail web browser interface. I can access it over IMAP with Thunderbird butt it's noticably slower. Depending who your email provider is you may find they have an acceptable web interface.

This one. I need to use Farcebook occasionally and this allows me to stay logged in without getting tracked elsewhere. Same for my Google account.

If you have the choice, I encourage you to choose to avoid these companies. But for those of us struggling to make ends meet, we’re stuck having to give business to companies that not only help create people like me, but depend on our need for them. Please remember that when there are calls that everyone has to stop using them.

Principle comes at a price not everybody can afford.

And this is the way they get big and grab their market share because they can afford to undercut the more ethical competition. When that competition ceases to trade, then they'll bump up their prices. This is capitalism (at least, as I understand it.)

I have tried the search, for example !space@lemmy.link doesn't return anything - but if I try @space@lemmy.link or space@lemmy.link I get the response not found. Maybe I need to wait longer for the search to query the remote instance @lemmy.link?

My profile showed these subscriptions listed twice. I unsubscribed, clicked once, waited... and repeated. Now successfully subbed to both.

An air force pilot amongst other things. Pursued a career in electronics/Comms instead and ended up working on aviation ATC ground systems.

Same issue here. I've sent feedback to Developer. It was starting with a minimum version warning but now I see the changelog screen briefly before it crashes and burns. I guess that's the price of living at the bleeding edge of the fediverse ;) In the meantime I'm back to Vivaldi mobile.

Blogs, local news sources, weather sources. Some gov.uk reports. Although I've tried several clients I keep falling back to Thunderbird and Aggregator (simple Android client).

Wow. What a mess.

I also have two subscriptions on other instances that are showing as Subscribe Pending. Specifically - uk_politics@feddit.uk and rss@lemmy.ml.

I used Baconreader on Android but I may have subscribed to RSS at one time too. 14 years but not so much recently.

I'm not familiar with your reduced content. As you say Capitol I'm assuming the US? Did they restrict any particular albums or just some tracks/songs?

It's probably worth mentioning their compilation double albums too - 1962-66 ( the red one) and 1967-70 (the blue one). These after i wore out a 45 of Penny Lane when I was 7 or 8.
