Hey Boss -

Ever since TV remote was invented, you don't even walk up to the TV to change the channel - why the fuck you need to call us back to the office and breath over our necks? Unless you are a pervert (a lot of you indeed are) - you don't need to stare at our faces (or our asses) to assess our work, learn to embrace the zoom age !

You reportee (who is still hanging around because the pay is okay, I can work from home, and don't have to bear your shitface every morning)

I should have mentioned that I already have theluddite.org RSS in my reader, and I do enjoy your articles. Thanks !

I am not playing this Chicken until the Game crosses the road... Ah shoot..

For torrents, a VPN might be the best bet as others have pointed out. But for direct download, just DoH should be enough.

That lawsuit simply says : "acquire me, acquire me, O Holy Musk, acquire me..."

Musk got sued? Yeah, probably one out of the hundreds of lawsuits that bozo sees every day, and he's going to weasel his way out of this too, because he is stinking rich.

Good.

I do not support providing any more traffic to Reddit (which is why I blowed out my 7 years old account last week) - but there was a time during mid-July when I was still keen on giving Reddit a last chance, and I was exclusively using old reddit with "Old Lander" user script via Tampermonkey, which made it a terrific interface for mobiles.

You might give it a try

https://github.com/OctoNezd/oldlander

But in the end fuck spez, and I am a lot more peaceful now after deleting my Fuggit account.

PS : I did not write Old Lander script, I just found it to be awesome while I was using it.

I, too, do not have answers to these questions.

What I do know, is that - "The internet is as Transient or as Permanent as you want it to be".

Public resources like Community funded open source projects - e.g. GNU Project and Linux have long been established names - while inspite of being backed by heavyweight Corporations, people hardly remember Entities like Orkut, Myspace, Digg nowadays.

Yes, indie servers may go down more frequently than their heavyweight corporate competitors, but there will always be new minds cropping up who believe in FOSS philosophy and sharing - because lack of Monopoly is what makes Fediverse a nice place.

I have to agree with you on this. What the Fediverse is sorely lacking is a way to "port" our profile to another instance, or at least back our stuff up and restore our home in another instance in case the current instance blows up for whatever reason.

I guess this proposal has been floated already in GitHub but let's see.

Now that makes sense.

Why not leave on my own terms instead? Lol.

It's like quitting smoking - it's the easiest thing to do, smokers do it 5 times a year./s

with keys held by individuals

Emphasize on the plural.

These "individuals" are exactly that, independent individuals who maintain their own instances, but being federated would mean that the content in each Lemmy instance is visible by other instances (unless they are defederated, which as I understand happens very rarely, and only for irreconciliable differences between instances, which is serious).

And these independent "individuals" spend effort and money to run their respective instances with a common goal, share the info. That's what Fediverse is all about.

Unlike the "individual" at Reddit (singular - looking at you creepy Stevie or whatever Board of Directors Fuckers you report to) - where the decision making powers lie really truly at an individual level.

That's no good.

Lol

Happy to be able to inspire someone to leave that shithole !

Thanks. But I don't care anymore. I did all I could to get rid of my contents, but those will somewhere be on the internet (at least on wayback machine) - nothing on the internet is lost forever.

Thanks, kind stranger !

I did go through a phase ( late August through early September) when I could not bear the sight of Reddit as a platform / corporation, but couldn't deny the fact either that Reddit is a treasure trove of valuable content.

(Although in the end my hate for Reddit's greed took over, and also the quality of the content there deteriorated slowly due to lack of good moderation - but I digress)

If you are going through such a phase - I might recommend giving Stealth app a try. It's FOSS and available on F-Droid (I am obviously assuming you are an Android user, please ignore if not) , it is one of the most beautiful apps I have ever used, and if someone asks what that app is about, I say "Stealth is to Reddit as NewPipe is to YouTube".

PS : I didn't develop Stealth. I just liked using it when I was still giving Reddit a chance ( but fuck spez )
