Jitsi is unencrypted

Not true, jitsi does have e2ee which you can enable in its settings, but it only works on chromium based browsers or their desktop app. Element call on the other hand has temporarily disabled the e2ee option.

lol? i would say the exact opposite

Yeah fedora has some issues out of the box, when I first installed it most videos failed to load, including youtube. Only to realize 30 minutes later that the issue was missing codecs… they also modified firefox to not install h264. The repo’s are also quite limited due to their extreme stance on OSS.

These issues are easily solveable at least: codecs, h264 and for the repo’s ticking the rpmfusion toggle boxes in gnome-software.

Other than that I’m very happy with it, I just wish it wouldn’t be so pedantic out of the box as it just pushes beginners away.

I’d personally recommend mass editing comments to “moved to lemmy/kbin” or something, rather than deleting, as that way some others might switch as well. Redact supports doing this.

redact, which was shown in the pic makes an archive of deleted content inside the app.

Commit: Fixed maximum recursion depth exceeded error

oh fuck we’re in a recursion meme

+1 for openwrt, its great

without permission

But that’s the thing, you were shown the option to opt out during setup, if you ignored it that’s your fault. This is the proposed toggle in the setup screen, it’s not like you were unaware and data was collected without your consent, you were shown the option before any data is sent.

Eh, i don’t consider this true “opt out” telemetry. It won’t collect any info until you explicitly finish the initial setup screen, where there’s a toggle box to opt out of telemetry. It’s not like it’s collecting this info in the background where uninformed users are unaware of their data being sent, they were shown the option during the setup screen. I don’t see what the problem is here.

For reference, this is the proposed option during the initial setup screen

+1 for scoop, always use it when I’m on windows.

your meme

*a meme longer than a phone screen is not a meme

I don’t doubt it, the fediverse will absolutely self implode if this insanity continues, you have instances de-federating with meta, you have instances de-federating with instances which chose not to de-federate with meta, its putting massive walls between content/and fediverse users.

If things continue as is, some people will have no choice but to use meta’s official instance and applications rather than a mastodon/kbin/etc instance, as they would’ve blocked meta. I’m sure that’s not what everyone wants.

privacy is but one concern

Privacy is no concern. Privacy will only be harmed if your instance de-federates with meta as you can longer communicate with meta users from privacy respecting apps/instances, and will be forced into installing meta’s apps/using meta’s instance.

i use kbin, but not really because of the lemmy dev’s views, rather that I find it more polished.

I honestly don’t care about the developers opinions as long as they’re mentally sane, they can have whatever views they want, i use their software, and thats all. The same applies to linux, for reference, richard stallman has some extremely messed up views i do not agree with, however i dont take that into consideration when using gnu/linux. His software: gnu is incredible, and that’s all that matters. Not his views.

The only threat i can think of, of the lemmy dev’s views is potential censorship on the official instance (though i don’t believe he’s done this yet), which doesn’t really matter either, since there’s many other instances.

It is nice that ernest is a great guy, unlike the lemmy dev, but thats not why i chose to use kbin.
