Everyone is still using it. It sucks since i just want everyone to come on piefed/lemmy. I really have no idea what reddit has to do to make people switch. Its kinda like seeing a toxic relationship.

For who? Themselves? Are their lives so miserable they just want to see people suffer?

Its honestly a USA problem. We have HOAs in my country too but they don’t suck.

With all the outrage you see on american social media in regard to HOAs you’d think they would make some laws and guidelines to make it work better.

I don’t get it’s its always wild to me to see HOAs being run by the shittiest of people in your country and apparently they can do whatever they want.

Yeah I hope that happens. But I’m pretty low on hope these days…

99% of the people won’t care and continue using it anyway. The other 1℅ isn’t nearly enough to keep any non AOSP OS alive.

They’ll just block that too. Can’t have a full blown dictatorship without taking away any freedom people have. Better not have a negative opinion about it either.

Holy Fuck 1984 was a warning, not a fucking manual on how to do things.

Gee I totally didn’t see this coming and made a comment about it earlier. Oh wait I totally did.

The peoples republic of United Kingdom.

“The average European household now spends close to €700 (£600) a year on three or more VOD subscriptions. People pay more and get less.”

Lol, not me.

Is that even legal? Just holding your phone while driving can cost you a fine of €. 430 here.

I hate how this community has become mostly politics lately. Its understandable since technology and politics are connected but still.

America in a few years when no one wants their goods anymore and every country outside the US ramped up production since US is the most unreliable partner ever.

I’m not impressed by Proton at all tbh. There are plenty of reasons to dislike them. Here is a nice article about it:

Disclaimer: always do your own research as well.

How the fuck can you be pro censorship/pro big brother? What kind of idiot do you have to be? Do they just get bags of money to spout out this bullshit?

Does having a lot of money exempt you from this shit? I don’t get it. I can understand detestable people being pro things that make the poor poor and the rich rich. But this affect everyone both poor and rich. The only one benefiting from this are fascist dictators.

Yeah apparently that’s a crime nowadays.

The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.

To me the karma system is about quality. Not an “I agree/disagree” button.

For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

The thing is… What alternatives are there? Signal can’t be trusted (on the very same website there is an article about it). I’m not using closed source alternatives, Simplex is kinda shady too tbh and I’m not even sure I could get anyone to use it.

I don’t like Matrix/Element either but sadly its the best open source chat solution we have.

install app

“Do you agree to share your information with 289 of our partners or opt out by going through a list and deselecting them one by one”?

Yeah any app that asks this is guaranteed spyware.

Also, use F-Droid as much as possible. It’s not perfect but still miles better than the play store

Did i end up in some weird twisted timeline where everything is based on a Mike Judge movie? You seriously can’t make this shit up.

Don’t worry, it will all trickle down eventually!

I hope to see free open source, non-big tech Linux OS for phones one day.

I wish phones were more like regular computers where you just buy a phone and then decide which OS you install. Or at least be able to change the OS.
