Yes, it is still OK to use those services. The law is aimed at the messaging/social media businesses, not individuals, and is vague enough that they won’t have to do anything around their E2EE until there is viable technology available to square the circle of allowing for the checking of illegal abuse content while not functionally destroying E2EE. So potentially never.
I’d been on the waitlist for more than a year, but finally on. I downloaded the app a little while ago to keep tabs on my progress through the waitlist and they definitely have been speeding up the process of getting people onboarded to be fair.
I've currently settled with Liftoff. I got very used to Jerboa and was perfectly happy with it, but the last few updates broke it to the point of unusability for me.
Liftoff isn't perfect, though its pretty good. My biggest gripe is that as far as I can tell there's no button to go straight to the top of the feed, which is really annoying when you've been scrolling for ages and have to scroll all the way back up. Hopefully that will be added soon.
Just given Hive Dark a go and it looks really good! Definitely adds a lot to the feel of Beehaw. Thanks a lot, and good luck with the inevitable v0.18.0 breakage!
The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.
Nor does it take into account that people's views can change, and an outright ban simply for being part of the community only isolates them from the less batshit communities that may help them actually move away from it.
This is genuinely very cool and has made me nostalgic enough to consider trying to get hold of one for my Game Boy! I only wish I had some photography talent, as it's quite a feat to take good photos with something so technically rubbish.
I know there's already a few posts about how people listen to, or discover new music, but I wanted to see how other people get their music. Do you buy CDs or vinyl? Digital downloads? Use streaming services? Something else? And why?...
I've been using Openboard as my keyboard since 2020, and I'm pleased with it. However, I've noticed that the latest update was back in August 2022. Does this mean it's deprecated?...
AnySoftKeyboard Canary (the beta) was updated in March 2023. While I'm hopeful for some of the FOSS keyboards mentioned by others, for the time being I find AnySoftKeyboard to still be the most complete FOSS alternative to proprietary boards.
I use it. Have had a subscription for a few years as part of a CuriosityStream bundle. There's quite a few creators on there I enjoy and will usually watch through Nebula rather than YouTube as I know it supports them more directly. Also enjoyed just browsing and have found some really good content that way from people I didn't previously know about from YouTube.
It's definitely far more select with its creators than YouTube, and I don't see it as a replacement for it, but depending on someone's financial situation, I think giving it a go for a month if you're unsure is probably worth a shot.
Honestly I probably don't make use the other stuff that comes in the bundle as much as I should, mostly just Nebula and sometimes CuriosityStream. I pay half the normal price, so less than $30 annually at the moment, as got it when they were doing a deal. For the discounted price I consider it worth it for Nebula alone though.
It was my bday last week and I was desperate for a good old fashioned lemon top. Alas, even though they sell those at basically every seaside town on the coast of NE England, we apparently picked the exception....
Don't want to derail this as definitely wrong thread - but can personally recommend Aberystwyth (where I went) and Bangor which both supposedly have good accountancy courses and are both good student towns (high concentration of students to locals during term time). Cardiff and Swansea are ranked a bit higher though, and are also good choices if he wants the busyness of a major city.
Don't dox yourself. Try to limit your information to a Maidenhead locator or general area of at least a few kilometers in an urban area and a few dozen in rural areas....
I'm living in North West Wales, by Eryri/Snowdonia. Moved here recently having previously been living in various major cities for work in England. Work is still there, but due to Covid we've pretty much moved fully remote, meaning I can live next to mountains instead of motorways!
Lots of history here as well as lots of outdoorsy things to do, which is lovely. Though bit of a challenge learning the Welsh language as that is most people's first language here.
I've dabbled with Linux over the years, first with Ubuntu in the early 2010s, then Elementary OS when that dropped, and a few years ago I really enjoyed how customizable the gui was with Xubuntu. I was able to make it look just like WIndows 2000 which was really cool....
Same. Pretty much the perfect setup for laptop usage. I just use a couple of extensions like Just Perfection to tailor it a bit more, like removing the top bar which I personally don't find useful when I have trackpad gestures and keyboard shortcuts.

Am I okay to use VPN in uk now or is it illegal?
With UK’s new security bill that seems to more dismantle security rather than help. Am I still legally okay to use signal, VPN, tutanota, https, tor?
Is there a good open source Facebook Android app?

Anyone nostalgic for Game Boy Camera? (pixelfed.social)
There is a pixelfed account that posts exclusively Game Boy camera images. Coolest thing I’ve seen in some time.
