The developers of Lemmy also run lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml, the former being a hardcore communist anti-everything delusional conspiracy crapshoot of a platform, the latter a tiny bit more relaxed, but moderated/administered by a bunch of dicks that are essentially also tankies (= hardcore leftists) and Russia fans/apologists.

They (the devs) recently asked for funding to support their work, and in doing so, disclosed that part of the funding would be used to run those two instances, thus giving users no alternative to support without cross-financing extremism.

Piefed is developed independently and has none of those links to moronic ideologies.

Piefed as a platform uses the same underlying protocol as lemmy, mastodon, etc. (Activity Hub), so users can seamlessly interact with one another.

With a VPN. They might know you are using one, but everything you do remains obscured.

infosec.pub

No need, they’ll do it for you in a few weeks…

infosec.pub

I love it on infosec.pub, doesn’t defederate from most instances unless they are particularly hostile, doesn’t censor in itself, and hosts mostly tech/nerd communities.

Yes. And what exactly does that have to do with my question?

Which flavor of liberal are we talking? We’ve come a really long way since the mere word had any decisive meaning.

Hmm… Clockwork and fluorescent arms?

Drill a hole and get an analogue clockwork, done.

Mullvad are Swedish and the most privacy respecting out there, so that’s an excellent choice.

What file types can’t you burn to a DVD? Or in case you mean a file format that can be played natively on a DVD player, just get an authoring tool like dvdstyler that will convert any format into something you can play directly.

On the other hand most DVD players newer than 10 years will also just play mp4 without any issues.

How exactly can I see who downvoted? Can’t seem to find it in the regular view, and the debug info only shows the vote count, not the voter.

There are other integrations, those were the two I used so I could remember them.

Certainly wasn’t cheap, but I do need to take quite a few notes during meetings with my engineering team, clients, shareholders etc., and being able to sketch something out real quick and project it over onto the screen in our meeting room with two clicks is pretty awesome.

My company even offered to pay for it, but I wanted it to be mine.

The reMarkable 2 has built in sync capability for dropbox, google drive and a few others. That device is seriously awesome.

Kill ads on the cheaper one would be my main if not only use case.

Installing an alternative reader that can read other formats is mentioned a few times, but honestly, with Calibre that became a non-issue decades ago. Need to transfer them via cable anyway, converting in the process takes a few seconds at most.

They have servers tagged as p2p enabled, those work fine. Only in the paid plan though, free is not meant for that.

Proton and Astrill are very good as well.

Yep. I quite enjoyed how lemigrad and lemmy.ml used to be the forerunners of lemmy and then quickly got kicked to the back because nobody in their right mind wants to interact with tankies.

Federation = replication of content across multiple servers for the sake of preservation and accessibility.

It does not equate to freedom of speech or freedom from censorship.

If you want an instance that allows just about everything, I repeat: Start your own, nobody is stopping you.
