These three points you make here completely validate my decision to start to mainly use this instance.

1. One thing which is probably important to note here is that I tend to view Lemmy instances as infrastructure, rather than as communities.

2. I do not want to end up in a fragmented Lemmy network, where users are required to have accounts on 5 different instances in order to be able to access all their communities.

3. Communities should always be free to set and enforce rules which foster healthy discussions. On top of that, instances should always be free to set and enforce rules for all of their users and communities.

These adress the majority of issues I have had when trying to switch to using lemmy in the beginning.

Thanks for the heads up, see you on the other side o7

Hey, no problem. I was just procrastinating doing actual work ><

I also just found the original cat png so I added it here. Its a bit more detailed and would probably print nicer.

Sure, why not?

Imgur again, just in case

Here is my cleanup attempt. I tried to make it work if printed centered on A4 paper,

Imgur link for insurance

Edit:

Just found the original png[1] so here is a version with more detail

What is lesswrong and why should they avoid linking it? It looks like a forum of sorts with a somewhat pretentious code of conduct but nothing to avoid on principle.

Best thing I did for my phone induced stress is get an old Pebble smartwatch, choose the few apps/contacts I want to get notified instantly to vibrate on the watch and set my phone itself on silent permanently.

We set the threshold of sensible protections provided by the app (signal) itself differently.

On desktop having a gallery app, as you say, or running an application like windirstat for example I expect the user to understand that anything stored on device can be “seen” by the app and that, if they dont trust it, having sensitive files deleted or sandboxed might be prudent. Messages are stored at least somewhat encrypted (albeit with the key in a config file) so a random (non targeted/malicious) scan would gt blobs there.

On mobile due to how opaque the os is I am thankful for the extra encyption and I would consider it a much more critical flaw. On desktop less so. Still I appreciate your point of view and a passkey to encrypt at least messages on the desktop app would be a welcome addition.

Hm, but wouldn’t such an application be malicious by default? Having protection against attackers on your device seems of out scope for a messaging application, at that point I would consider something like Tails. Though this may be a rare case when moving to an appimage could help matters.

You can’t critisize them, only if you solely view films as products to be sold and judged on profitability. It is ironic though coming from someone who, 2 sentences later says:

“Part of our strategy is to try to balance our output with more sequels. It’s hard. Everybody says, ‘Why don’t they do more original stuff?’ And then when we do, people don’t see it because they’re not familiar with it,” he said. “With sequels, people think, ‘Oh, I’ve seen that. I know that I like it.’ Sequels are very valuable that way.”

as if regurgitation of ideas just for familiarity’s sake is any better.
