I’m going insane. I cannot for the life of me find a suitable way to listen to music privately. I’m on iOS, and I don’t know whether to just stick to Apple Music or give up on music in general (I tried, TRIED to go local, but all the apps are shitty). Any way to listen to music and not have your data compromised? Should I...
I’m not defending anything, other than basic usage of the English language. I’m not saying Bluetooth is better, objectively or subjectively, than a wired connection. You’re free to prefer one over the other, but any preference is just that, a preference.
I’ve got no love for billionaires, and obviously this story overshadowing the migrant boat sinking in Greece is infuriating, but I’m really not a fan of the glee so many people on social media are expressing at the deaths of these five people.
Also, on another note, I seriously cannot get over the fact that the late CEO of the company, Stockton Rush, has the absolute perfect team name for a minor league football team from central California.
The Ballpark app requires a ton of personal information, way more than I expected. To wit: Full name, Email address, Password, Street address, Telephone number(s), Birth date, Payment data, IP addresses, Location data, Contacts (as stored in your wireless device), Demographic data, Device data, Usage data, Voice recordings,...
Thank you for this. I actually have this installed and a little bit ashamed of myself for blindly installing. Can’t undo the damage, but can uninstall and not do additional.
I feel that maybe you're reading my question as 'critique of China is inherently support for the west/US/etc' which I absolutely do not mean. I think that it's possible that painting all critique with a broad 'xenophobia' brush (while undoubtedly warranted at times) can prevent discussion in good faith.
My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.
US here. There are, of course, flags flown on at government buildings and those most often also include the state flag as well.
Flying an American flag personally definitely identifies you as someone who leans right-wing, and I think that's unfortunate because I quite like flags in general and would probably have a many different flags to display at different times (including the American flag at times) depending on the time of year.
Sorry if this has been discussed here before, I‘m a new reddit refugee and I just stumbled over this community, awesome that this place already exists again! I always enjoyed the discussion threads on the subreddit throughout a race weekend, so I was wondering if something similar will be done here? On the other hand, this...
I'd like to add, as someone who has to time-shift watching the grand prix, I sure would appreciate not having the weekend spoiled in post titles. I literally had to unsubscribe and even filter out r/formula1 because they'd post spoilers in post titles.
Had a bit of a showerthought this morning. c/books could do a monthly book club pick but with the additional feature of inviting a related community to participate. For example, if the book pick was "Two Wheels Good" by Jody Rosen, !bicycles could be invited to participate. Seems to be a great way to encourage more people to...
I have an instance running (blitzen.org), and right now just two other instances are in my white list (lemmy.ml, lemmy.ca). If I wanted to mirror, say, lemmy.ca’s white and black lists, is there a way to export/import such a list?
I heard once that the case for which instance (for any federated app, be it Lemmy or Mastodon etc) on which to sign up is to choose based on "administration" not subject. That is to say, it is better to experience the fediverse through moderation and other administrative decisions than it is to do so on a server that is "subject...
How hard was it to set up an instance? I'm fairly decent with these things, and could spool up an shared server, but have never used Docker if that's the best way.
just so this doesn't overwhelm our front page too much, i think now's a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let's try to keep what's happening in this thread instead of across 10....

How many of you have pulled the plug and deleted reddit already?
Im working up the courage to. Ill never go back, but it is also hard to delete that much history just for a statement
