Reading the tweets underneath that video clearly shows that all the smart people left Twitter..

Discord actually has "Forum" channels that work like Reddit. You can create posts and search for them. So if you use Discord right you could more or less recreate Subreddits inside a single Discord server.

Not a fan of them moving to Discord instead of Lemmy, but anyway, fuck Reddit.

Ist doch super, Wohnungen draus machen und schon sitzt man im ehemaligen Büro im Homeoffice :)

Wohnen ist eh viel zu teuer, mehr Angebot ist perfekt.

At first I never used it, always thought typing with two fingers was the fastest (and actually got me the result I wanted).

Nowadays I swipe 99% of the time on my Android phone and it is a lot faster. Especially when your phone learns the words you like to use. It's not perfect of course and you will have to correct some words down the line (it still sometimes refuses to swipe "Fuck"), but overall I'm faster with it.

Also super comfy for long and complex words when you just roughly swipe it and get the full word written there without errors.

Overall though I prefer to touch type on a proper keyboard on the PC, that's still the fastest :)

It's also a shitty take because it hypes up Meta. Which basically took Instagram (handling billions of users posting text, images and videos) and creating Threads by turning images and video off. It's the same user accounts too.

That's like Google creating YouTweet by taking their YouTube platform and reducing it to video comments only. Then praising them that they managed to launch a text based service in 2023.

Why not actually talk about Mastodon instead?

Ever heard of .bat files? There is no need for admin rights to steal company and user data. All it takes is opening the wrong file. Windows is also terrible about file names, per default extensions are hidden. So you can have a file named "report.pdf.bat" for example and it will show for most users as "report.pdf" with a funny icon. It's a terrible default setting security wise.

Btw. you're still comparing a desktop OS with a phone OS. You have to compare Android with iOS. Or Windows with Linux and macOS.

That's a weird question, you are comparing a desktop OS with a phone OS (except you are talking about Windows phones, but I don't think you are?).

All it takes to kill your Windows installation is double clicking a random .exe file (and being unlucky that Windows doesn't warn you about this particular file). And nope, if it is a custom program your antivirus won't detect it either. Every time I hear of a company getting a crypto locker on their systems it was over a Windows PC (mostly by email). I haven't heard of your average company getting compromised by a phone yet (but those phones usually don't have network access to shared drives..).

Android is relatively locked down, a lot more than Windows. Even if someone sends you malware per email, there is no easy way to execute it on your phone. It's also not true that you can just install a rogue APK in two clicks, you have to do the following steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
  2. In the Settings menu, tap Apps.
  3. Tap Special app access (or Advanced > Special app access).
  4. Tap Install unknown apps.
  5. Select an app to use to install an APK file—your browser and file management apps are the best option here.
  6. Tap the Allow from this source slider to allow APK files to be installed via that app.

Definitely not something that happens by accident :)

Overall for your average user I'd say Android is safer.

From the view of a small team that actually paid for GitLab Bronze: Their pricing is a mess and they keep changing things. We went with GitLab at first, Bronze tier, everything was great.

Then they removed Bronze tier (which was $4 per user per month) and only offered a premium tier from then on, $20 per user per month. Which is insane if you look at GitHub pricing.

So instead of paying that much we went with the free tier afterwards. Then GitLab limited free tier repos to 5 users max. Which was yet again annoying and we had to act on that.

In the end the company moved to GitHub, all we wanted was a stable solution we pay for and be left in peace. GitLab kept messing with things and wasting developer hours (Damn meetings with management). GitHub still has a $4 per user per month tier, GitLab.. wtf.. just raised the price again to $29 per user per month. Are they insane?

Once in the morning (with a tongue scraper beforehand), once before bed (with flossing and the tongue scraper beforehand).

Seems to work well enough so far. Oh and an electric toothbrush is a must.

My first reaction is (like it was back on Reddit): Fuck, what did I do?

Either I made a good comment or something really controversial, either way now I'm stuck with replying to everyone.

[-] Vlyn@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Use one of the scripts that overwrites your comments first. Just deleting doesn't help one bit.

They also rate limit you to one action every 1.5 seconds or something.

Cross community censorship: For example on Reddit you wrote a comment in subreddit A (maybe even a negative one for that topic!) and then subreddits B, C and D permanently ban your account. If someone starts with that crap again they should be shunned.

Oh and verified users only communities, that sucked too.
