I dont want everything from the same provider… Proton is still a company looking to make money off me. I use their VPN, use their email. Everything else is fluff in my opinion which they should polish and fully realize first, before adding yet another mediocre service

If you are familiar with the term tankie, hexbear is the china-fan tankie instance and lemmygrad is for those lusting after Stalin and the soviet union.

Lemmy.ml is a bit more low key about it, but equally authoritarian communist when it comes down to it, as evidenced by the op.

Especially the hexbear users have an extremely argumentative instance culture and will even brigade comment sections critical of the great leader, so most users and even instances block them outright.

I dont know really, I haven’t played any sony titles since the ps2 days and looking at their catalogue there is nothing that really interests me. The only exception being helldivers, though I would have refunded that if the psn crap went through. It is also more an arrowhead than sony game.

I dont think I have steam friends playing actual sony games either, perhaps my perspective is skewed but I believe you overestimate the pull of the console franchises for people who can choose out of an enormous selection of games on steam, with plenty high profile ones available.

Even more than that I want them to add the windows version functionality to the skeleton that is the Linux VPN client. Seems absurd that I can’t make it remember the login password

Also, please give mailbridge autostart options, I really dont need to see the window at all unless the connection isnt working.

I am also very new to Linux (on a PC, but with a distro that also relies mostly on flatpaks for its software selection). Could you explain what makes them un- or less trustworthy? Or alternatively recommend a link to read? I know next to nothing about the different software distribution methods used on Linux.

Already did, and it works, thank you though :)

Interesting, i didn’t get one myself. Perhaps because I am a somewhat new customer?

I would be happy to, i also want to remind them to provide a themed android app icon for their mail. VPN has it, mail doesn’t, and it drives me crazy.

You might want to provide a link to the survey right here though, I rooted through the video description and comments but no survey in sight.

Got it, just switched over myself because I liked the differences in the description. Thanks for letting me know!

Am somewhat late to the (third) party, why are most people here using a newpipe fork? Is the original compromised somehow?

Not gonna defend corporations here, but valve isnt public. They are privately owned by the bosses and employees, valve has one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry. It is quite difficult to get a job there for that reason. So they are actually quite beholden to their workers.

Not sure if that is an option for you too, but I have a scanwatch light myself. It is a hybrid smartwatch, being a classic analog watch with a small black and white display in the background.

The scanwatch products are health focused, allowing the user to track a variety of health stats like heartrate, activities and sleep analysis. It is very energy efficient, requring a a recharge about once a month in my case.

It is noteworthy that the hybrid concept makes some cuts to the smartness of the watch, for example replying to messages from the watch is not possible, only reading them as they come in. It doesn’t have touch functionality either, instead you control it with the bezel.

You can configure in the smartphone app which apps are allowed to relay notifications to the watch, giving you the option to filter out most noise that is not relevant to your mom. You can also set up activity plans to track and/or remind her to engage in some moderate activities like taking a walk.

Do note though that the watch asks for a subscription for some premium functions, like workout plans and more in depth health analysis. I don’t have that myself either though, being able to generally monitor my activities is enough for me. The watch also relies on the paired smartphone for its gps functionality, without the phone it would essentially be reduced to a classic wristwatch.

Their terms even stated that a psn account would be optional for PC users, right up until this debacle. Then they quietly changed the wording to “some games may require it”

Yeah, I’ve been on the discord yesterday for a while, and it is a constant torrent of nerd rage and hateful messages for the community manager. While I have requested a refund myself as well and am also really pissed about this change, I realize the poor schmock who is paid to talk nice to the players isnt at fault here but gets all the shit.

Thanks guys, let’s hope I can figure it out (have only used the DL with GUI)

Way to go. "Technologiestandort Deutschland“ wie er im Buche steht.

Ah fair enough, that makes more sense then. Read it as an argument for the free market

You dont have those things not happen any more because of the stock market, you dont have to endure those things any more because regulations prevent it.

I can guarantee you 100% that if corporations could use child labor again, or dump rats in a meat grinder and sell it, they would in a heartbeat.

This is a great example of overreaching self censorship. I looked at the mod because I was curious what the fuss is about, and apparently it is two tiny, only very mildly suggestive pictures of her. Nothing scandalous to see at all.

I recommend a rice cooker, they are fairly cheap and very handy. Rice is really cheap in bulk and neutral enough to work with almost any dish. With a cooker you can make quick low effort carbs (filling) to accompany whatever else you have at hand. Dump it in a pan with some veggies, heat and stir. Perhaps add an egg or two, seasoning of course. A quite healthy and cheap meal, which is also very easy to make and can be adjusted to your tastes no problem.
