Then I’d say dating apps. Get some pics of you participating in one of your more interesting hobbies, even if you have to beg or pay someone to take the photos.

As in an exclusively online relationship, or finding a real-life date online?

As a cyclist, if anything can convince someone to keep their SUV in the garage for a day I’ll take it as progress.

As a consumer, I completely agree with you. I can load my touring bike with 130lbs of gear, I do my family’s grocery shopping on it, I haul everything in reason. Trailer sounds nice but I haven’t needed one.

Silver lining to everything!

same for me on Firefox, no vpn or anything, but I have ublock origin on. It’s kinda neat.

There’s no safe way to bike to O’Hare airport. 6 lane highways, no sidewalks, nowhere to lock up.

Plex lifetime server owner here. It’s getting harder and harder to give my elder family members access, since plex is burying my server under a mountain of their own programming.

client-wise, is Jellyfin easy for older folks to set up and access? Like people who only have an iphone, or a smart tv?

I’m mostly interested in discourse communities being able to communicate with one another.

I think billionaires have extreme influence over me regardless of what type of money I use.

I’m happy with Thunderbird as-is!

I have a few folders per account (keep, notices, receipts), organized easily with quickFilters. (“notices” I have to set to delete after 30 days, and it includes OTP’s / marketing / politics / newsletters /semi-interesting crap). Inbox is at zero almost automatically.

To see everything all at once, I use two “search folders”: “Personal” and “Business”. It updates as mail comes in.

In just about every way I find it superior to gmail’s front end. If they want to change how it looks that’s fine, but if quickFilters or search folders break or functionality changes I’ll fund a fork.

It would be hard to do a worse job than the big social networks

Congrats!

Larger point is well made, I’m just being pedantic.

Good. It’s boring without them.

I don’t think someone from 1923 would have trouble understanding our society. They had automobiles, screens, long distance communication, etc.

They’d probably be disappointed we’re not further along.

I used to avoid it as much as possible, but ever since ETH stopped being a “mining” coin I’ve begun to use it for digital goods and services, usually with folks in a different country who don’t have an easier method. The fees are ridiculous, but it works.

I don’t ever own more than $100 and I spend it as quickly as I can, in the full knowledge that these transactions are public and easily traceable back to my name.

Searching for federated forum software, and found lemmyBB.

I hold no ideals toward decentralization, ideologically I’m more aligned with a democratically-run centralized platform. That said, federation is still a great feature even on a big platform! Also I like the people more.

The future: richer & rounder.

Should be fine. You may want to follow a guide on installing docker so it doesn’t conflict with whatever firewall cpanel uses.

A bit off-topic, but I note that this community uses Discord over Matrix, and another privacy community I once belonged to Techlore had the largest Matrix channel at one point, but quit and moved to Discord. It’s disheartening that Matrix can’t keep privacy communities.

Never heard of them but after looking them both up, Kagi’s customization features like domain blocking seem really handy. I’d love to never see another Quora link.

All browsers are disappointing, and I don’t think the market is capable of producing a good one.

That’s private

Yes, when forum developers and owners take full advantage of ActivityPub.

You’d be surprised what corporations dump resources into.

Why not both? Replacing their existing Twitter profile with Mastodon doesn’t remove the possibility to integrate AP into their platform. It probably makes it more likely.

I feel like they reduce toxicity by calling it out

Sure, that could be one benefit to an organization.

However, my point was that the organization can control their messaging, rather than following the whims and rules of a conflicting company.

The replies were beyond inept for a social media manager.

The WaPo bans showed that social media should be controlled in-house (or at least appear to be, like email.) Medium is just a bit ahead of the curve. Expect others to follow.

Now do one for lemmy!

The people being poisoned are rarely the people responsible.

In the worst case scenario where discussion is mostly held on a few instances owned by vampires, we’re still better off because federation is a helpful feature.

I wish there was an easy way to connect multiple headphones to a TV wirelessly. Soundbars & receivers rarely support Bluetooth headphones let alone multiple

The user-base. Front page posts of angry rants wanting to destroy Ellen Pao because an anti-fat hate subreddit was closed.
