Actual anti-semitic, fascist, racist people and groups who support the ideology of Nazi Germany and use Nazi symbols and iconography to support their cause. Actual white supremacists. Not every conservative or even most conservatives or MAGA Trump supporters. The real right-wing loons.

Did it stop working again tonight? It was working earlier today on my tablet.

While I largely agree with your point, as an Odysee user myself I know there is a visible amount of actual Neo-Nazi content there. That said, such channels are not difficult to block on the user end on the platform so you don’t see them after the first time, there’s not so much that it’s a constant annoyance, and there is still plenty of worthwhile content on Odysee to watch, including various YouTubers who mirror their content to the platform. While the Neo-Nazi content is harder to find on Rumble, it’s more politically focused and feels like it’s more meant to be “right-wing YouTube” whereas you can actually find more of a variety of viewpoints on Odysee.

Even the privacy/security people I follow say that despite Big Tech (MS, Google, Apple, etc) being privacy nightmares, they are pretty solid on their security, or at least no less secure than the alternatives. But when you combine efforts to maintain that security with those privacy nightmares, you get what you mention.

I’m a pretty satisfied Kontact user right now. I appreciate the integration of everything, but the one thing I would really look at improving is the RAM usage of Akonadi server, it eats up quite a lot of RAM for a program/backend meant just to integrate that information. Are there plans to improve that, or will Merkuro improve on that at all?

Sounds like it’s gonna be real cool. When does it hit the Neon User repos?

I live in one of the most rural states in the country, where loads to haul are generally large and the posted speed limit on the highway is usually 75 mph, and the de facto highway speed is usually 5-10 mph above that. No truck that can barely push 70 is gonna keep up with that. On top of that, you’re dealing with ice and snow on the roads half the year, so you’ll need to be able to deal with that too.

Being super smart and super evil are NOT mutually exclusive. Intelligence =|= morality.

I’m slowly converting my dad on it but the rest of my family likely sees me the same way, lol.

IIRC there’s a workaround that involves symlinks and/or copying some json files into the Firefox folder under .var, but I don’t quite remember how it works.

This won’t last long. It’s too public now. Google will find a way to kill it and force their AI on you as much as possible.

Linus himself just seems to give off that “nice guy on camera, exact opposite behind the scenes” kind of vibe. I’ve seen him get a bit riled up on podcast videos and it really comes off like he’s holding back. Perhaps the employee’s story was all too believable from others who get that perception of him. So I could see how the defamation threat would be like him/the company to try to show “we’re really angry and could do more but we’re gonna hold our temper”.

I’ve brought it up before with /e/, that because it’s based in Europe it tends to focus on the European market, IMO too much so. Lots of Europe-exclusive phones supported, barely any US-available phones that support tech like 5G (which is not available in Europe). If you want 5G in the US, you’re pretty much stuck with the Pixel or the Fairphone, and like you said, you also won’t find the Fairphone in a US store (though you can order one from /e/'s website in the US). While I did buy a Murena One (which is a cheap Chinese OEM) in the short time they were selling them in the US market on their website a couple years ago and I’m using it now, good luck finding a US carrier that will support it (T-Mobile was the only one that would) or a repair shop that will touch it if it breaks. I’ve dropped it a couple times and have a large area of dead pixels on the bottom of the screen, but nobody can get a replacement screen for it.

Seriously, if I hear “X, formerly known as Twitter”, one more time… It’s been over a year. If people don’t know the name has changed by now, I don’t know what will help them.

I solved the issues yesterday by building from source, which solved the crashing issue (guessing a packaging issue with the .deb version is one problem) and then after one restart of the app I was able to add my library. Works fine now.

The term “dark pattern” refers to any deceptive practice, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, that online websites, apps, etc use to get people to do the site/app’s desired behavior, such as in this case, not cancel their Prime subscription. Not all of these examples may apply in Amazon’s case, but some examples would be making the fields or buttons for canceling or keeping your subscriptions different colors or sizes, making the default choice to keep the subscription, making you view a bunch of ads to keep the sub or go through a bunch of other pages before canceling, or hiding the cancelation option in fine print in a corner of the site. The “dark” part means that the average person usually doesn’t notice the deceptive nature of the practices.

The eternal excuse of those who profit or benefit from children getting involved in things they shouldn’t.

I found that all I needed to do to add a library was close the app and reopen after the first time opening the version built from source. Built myself a layout similar to the Obsidian preset. Really nice customizable player! I have two recommendations: have some way for the Library Filter widget to show individual tracks so you can add them to a playlist, and have some way to actually view and edit the Playback Queue. Other than that, this is a great player!

Using an Ubuntu (22.04) based distro, I tried installing with the jammy .deb a couple times, which produced the constantly crashing result. I just built from source, which appears to have resolved the constant crashes, but I still can’t add a library.

I tried it out. I like the idea of the fully customizable UI. I can’t seem to get it to import anything as a library and it constantly crashes after roughly 5-10 minutes, though. Am I missing something or doing something wrong, or is that the expected behavior at this point in development?
