I love Newpipe!

You’ve been paying the Apple Tax!

After Snowden’s efforts at showing what America was capable of nearly 10 years ago, I’m not at all interested in letting that country have my data

What a shock to read. I love his books, his story, what he achieved and how he did it all. The world was a better and safer place with Kevin in it.

What a sad day to lose someone like that.

I’ve never heard of this, but I love podcasts.

Isn’t this similar to the totally free AntennaPod from f-droid?

Agreed with this.

A few years back it seemed better: fewer people meant recognised faces, regular chats, and almost a community feeling. I was in some kind of Linux instance.

Being much younger than most threw people off though, and I ended up feeling a little…on-the-outside and left.

I hopped on a week back and it feels so different now. Less community-oriented and all I find interesting is searching a hashtag and leaving.

I don’t know, maybe reddit (before the death) and lemmy have spoiled me, it just seems like random thoughts above all now.

Anyone else just using whatever is FOSS feom f-droid?

Of course the more apps the merrier, but personally open code = a more trustworthy use for me

Here is a site which removes paywalls for you, for future reference!

In my case, the biggest sub I help moderate has one mod who made the whole thing. From the ground-up, a great community of people, very few fights and a ton of people subscribed. It really is like a ‘model’ example of how the communities should work.

They jusy can’t understand how we’d be willing to throw it all away over a company’s stupid move. I guess in this instance, it is well over a decade of making a great place. And I can see why he feels awful.

But to me that is the only power we have…having people who will burn it down to make a stand.

I won’t be there after this month ends and my 3rd party apps go.

Why am I not surprised?

What annoys me the most is the stance he keeps trying to project that reddit is just a a ‘poor lil company, never any profit, just a little fish’.

Hearing that he wants to bring in the ability to oust established moderators by votes?

Good luck, who wants to literally give their time and energy to this company now for free? Not me anymore.

What a sad, sad interview.

I found that so curious in Tokyo, even some hole-in-the-wall food shops would use the ticket system when the attendant is standing right next to the ticketing machine!

But, it is ubiquitous over there.

Weirdest thing I saw over there was deep fried sparrows.

Or the garden shop I went into had a (poor thing) monkey in a large cage who jacked off furiously and threw it at me.

Oh Tokyo, from one extreme to the other!

SmartTube on my TV and NewPipe on my phone make me realise when I watch something on my Xbox just how bad regular viewing can be

Agree with this wholeheartedly.

We shouldn’t use that word or the meaning behind it as a slur for anything.

You can be better than that.

I’m done.

The subs I moderated have either gone dark, or are going dark in the next ciuple days.

And with that I let the mod teams I was a part of know that I am moving on. I hate what reddit did to the community, and my time feels better spent where it will be appreciated.

Well that was amazing! Here’s on for you in return
