I’ve said for a while that platforms that allow you to easily move make me more comfortable using them, and ironically, more likely to stay around.

*full Ubuntu and you can only install via snap.

What’s the catch?

/bin confused me for a while because I thought it meant ‘this stuff is trash, don’t worry about it’.

I started on Unix systems using Vim, so I find Nano to be the confusing editor. A Vim install is one of the first things I do on a new server.

I assume the success of Friday Night Funkin’ gave it some extra life.

Don’t forget the upcoming UK election which is likely ousting the current government!

The A series has been my go-to for my past 2 phones so as long as they don’t fuck with it, I’ll probably stick with it.

Doesn’t Zuck put covers on his laptop cameras?

Perfection is the enemy of good, I guess. The point is that you can federate, even though most will not know or care. mastodon.social could lock itself down for new users harder, but that would most likely just stop people from signing up to Mastodon at all.

TBH Steam feels like a ticking timebomb. At some point Valve is going to get a new shite CEO or something and everyone will go “oh…”

It’s in your heart and the bonds with your friends :)

This place seemed to attract the older tech crowd instead of the Nazis like Voat did.

I’m loving all the replies pointing out their clown makeup.

Why did they make a public post about this? Surely they would just send notices to the relevant parties?

If you use Porkbun, there’s a project that I’ve personally forked and adjusted a bit for dynamic DNS updates: https://github.com/Dasnap/Porkbun-Dynamic-DNS

The original project was archived so I added a bit to avoid pointless IP updates and then stole a Docker image build from another project and combined it in.

I believe they only care about concurrent IPs, not concurrent use in general. If the IP is the same for all downloads then I don’t think they’ll send you a warning. Just make sure the VPN clients have a killswitch though.

They go by a ‘2 strikes in a week’ system to account for accidental misuse. If they see 2 IPs used at once then they’ll reset your API key and tell you they’ll block your account if you do it again in the next 7 days.

I pay for 2 accounts personally because it’s still far cheaper than watching things ‘the proper way’.

If I’m not buying the crap that sponsors them anyway then how does it affect the creator if I skip the section? I assume the success of the sponsor is based off referrals but again, I’m not buying their crap or using referral links.

I’m not sure if OP is privacy focused, or doesn’t want their playlists tied to one service, or something like that; I’m just pulling assumptions out my arse.
