Assuming that this does not only work on English words, this is actually really terrifying.

I also don't like the fact that Signal needs your phone number and that the only way to connect to other people is by their phone number.

Yeah I eventually figured that out, hence the quotes. When my HP printer dies, I will replace it with a Brother printer.

Why must you make me hungry at midnight? >:(

Your link, https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110836811082599292%20sup.%20is%20an%20open%20source%20encrypted%20fediverse%20instant%20messenger,%20similar%20to%20whatsapp,%20made%20by%20pixelfed.%20%20The%20beta%20will%20be%20launching%20later%20this%20month,%20and%20btw%20most%20fediverse%20accounts%20will%20work,%20not%20just%20Pixelfed%20%F0%9F%98%89 is broken. I think you accidentally copied the body text as well. Cleaning up the link results in https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110836811082599292, which works fine.

My condolences.

Not to defend HP^[1], but if you look closely at the picture, the sticker has an arrow suggesting you to peel off the sticker. I would still say that the intentions of even putting this sticker there is malicious though.

[1]: I've also been "scammed" by HP. I have a DeskJet 2130 bought more than 5 years ago. (I guess you could say it was from before HP went greedy.) It was under only very light use (occasional school stuff that needed to be printed out). Every time I came back to the printer after not using the printer for several months, the ink cartridges would have dried out. I would swap them out because they wouldn't work even after shaking, none the wiser that half of the "empty" cartridges probably could have been revived by wiping it with a tissue. (I discovered this only 1 year ago when I tried it.)

I personally like MLMYM more, but you do you.

I love openSUSE too. Ended my distro-hopping.

I heard that regional pricing will be available after a few days.

I've also only been seeing the words "sponsored content." By the way, don't know if this is a bug or not, but ads don't show at all (not even the blank squares) when Compact or List mode is enabled.

I agree with your point and really want to upvote it, but to be honest the way you put it was kind of rude. I'll hold my upvote for now.

Please note that the long list of things collected is what Google is known to collect, not necessarily that these are the things being collected. If you click on any other app that is also with Google trackers (practically every app listed on this page), you will find that the stuff listed are the same.

It is their browser. The tracking protection is in their browser and tells Android that it's a VPN.

Discord doesn't have the same issues people left reddit for.

Yes, yes it does. Both Reddit and Discord don't allow 3rd party clients. It's just that Discord never allowed any in the beginning. The arguments of a centralized content silo applies to Discord too.

It's not like people just moved from reddit for fun.

Neither are people moving away from Discord for fun.

By the way, read the edit on my parent comment.

Read my edit on my parent comment. Basically, Reddit works "great" too, yet people still want to move away from it. The same with Discord.

How about we bridge the channels across to rooms on Matrix? That could work.

Yeah I know. kinda disappointed about that.

I agree that not everything has to be decentralized, but why not replace Discord with Matrix given hew mature and nice Matrix is? IMO, this is one of those things that should be decentralized.

Edit: for everyone asking why, read https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord. The main point I care about is that as a free-to-use app with no ads, Discord is not profitable despite the Nitro subscribers. The operating cost to keep up with millions of messages a day is not cheap. They will, at some point, sell our data.

Agreed. If we want to move away from Reddit, why not move away from Discord too?
