the day it got leaked I tried it and I can verify that it works. They probably fixed it already I’m guessing

[narrator voice: it wasn’t “just as easy as” nor did “everything work great”]

how are you only getting 1% battery drain overnight? my pixel 7 w grapheneos drains 10% overnight and battery saver makes it worse somehow

I would like to know your secrets

the fediverse largely prides itself on no tracking, in fact in the past instances that used cloudflare have been harshly criticised.

This is against the fediverse’s core values

what if one wants accounts on say, 3 mastodon servers (one personal, one public, one backup, this is entirely reasonable, but many have more reasons for making separate accounts) and then wants a separate Lemmy account or two, because they prefer the Lemmy interface for specifically that. Or maybe someone wants to separate their work and personal life in addition. Or! They’re a minority and have specific reasons to separate their accounts. Or they’re an artist and want a separate art account

and then other fediverse software comes along that interacts completely differently than content aggregation (Lemmy) or microblogging (mastodon etc). Neither federates properly yet and wont for a while, so guess what, another account

you see how this doesn’t work? it has nothing to do with amassing wealth or voting manipulation as this is a problem across fedi (and voting isnt even a thing outside of Lemmy etc) and more to do with accessibility There are valid reasons to have several accounts to the fediverse, and it goes against the spirit of the fediverse to stop that.

browser fingerprinting is inherently bad for privacy and would require scripts that nobody wants to run

not to mention the GDPR issues with servers having that amount of data

most of my friends (and me myself) have far more than 3 accounts. Many instances I’ve been on have died, leading to me having to move and my old account on dead instances still being in databases. That said, even without that, I have far more than 3 active accounts

sure we dont have hundreds or thousands like spammers would but putting an arbetrary number on “amount of accounts an IP can have” is against what the fediverse is

its not that simple. pushing a full cart could start the pain at which point you’re just fucked, pushing the empty cart back might really just be too much after that

eh, ddg is equally bad with it insisting it knows better than me what my query is and “fixing” it, leaving me to have to either fix it or click a link telling it “yes I really did want to search for that and not what you assumed”

DDG keeps changing my search query because its “not returning a lot of results” or because it thinks I typo’d and it is infuriating to me, sometimes it doesnt even inform me that it did, not even giving me a link to click to get to my actual search query

'also noticed that it got worse around the same time google did

given how often disabled people are yelled at for using disabled parking spots, I would not be as optimistic that we’d not be included

As for how they were able to use it, maybe using it for a little bit is okay but it starts physically hurting after a while leading to them not being able to put it back, that has happened to me before. Or maybe the return cart area is a bit up a hill or otherwise inaccessible

yes, using spectacle I imagine

I use different software, apparently that matters

that’s because that’s what happened. Simple mobile tools got bought out by a company known for exactly that: putting ads and spyware in apps

thankfully since its open source, there’s already a fork in the works called Fossify

thanks!

and yet plenty of stuff still runs in the background for me, eating my battery when I don’t need it to be in the background

I will be forced to, but x11 is no longer being developed, so its not very secure to do so

additionally, Wayland is going to be default on kde, and Im not sure if that means that it’ll be default for me too if I update

not to mention that with it default on KDE, I’ll be running into more and more bugs that just, will not be fixed, because “use Wayland” will be the new response to bug reports (GNOME actively does this with a critical GTK4/libadwaita bug)

the point is, Wayland is being rushed and was never ready for default

this worked wonders for me

then bullet journals lost its “new” factor and now its dusting in the corner w all the other calendars, organisers, diaries and notebooks I tried to start

this one hits hard

It has begun

(ps install the fork versions of the simple mobile tools suite, its called fossify)

still frustrating as all hell, these programs just worked on x11

also Synergy/Barrier/etc dont work yet and would need “non standard” protocols. Pretty critical for me

I am an enduser and I just expect things to work, but one of the most critical things of my setup wont
