Also has a great deDRM tool I used to remove kobo DRM!

Encouraging people to be safe and care about their privacy on the internet is not victim blaming.

I’m sure their privacy policy gave the standard promises about storing their private data in a secure way, which _they did not do. _

This is what people want to warn others of. The developers of Tea are hardly the only offenders. Definitely not an example of victim blaming.

A group of people with the intention of privately sharing details of people in order to track their behavior is definitely going to lead to doxxing. Maybe I’m getting the wrong idea, but it sounds like they are sharing the names of people they went on dates with. I assume that would include the city or town the date occurred which would infer where abouts they live. Given enough “reviews” of a single person I’m sure there would be sufficient info to call it doxxing.

Thanks I fixed it

I agree 100% that women face many more dangers especially in the dating scene than men. I’m all for having resources available for them to remain as safe as possible.

I don’t see how a Rate My Professor type app would work well for dates. I feel like people would only spend the time to rate poor dates. If you had a really good date with someone, you would presumably start dating them so why would you let everyone else know they are a good person to go out with? I have no doubt there are some awful people out there that others should be warned about, but this type of app is a bit too risky to justify that in my opinion.

The background check feature sounds much more legit, but I don’t think a group chat feature needs to exist along side it.

All that being said, anyone enjoying the doxxing of others is just an asshole. There’s definitely nothing fair about it from either side.

I 100% agree that it isn’t relevant to the doxxing. I dont think the doxxing is warranted at all from either side. Most of what I saw about the app is just from various social media users as well as the Google PlayStore reviews. Personally I find it hard to believe the app wasn’t made with the purpose to dox people just based on the name alone. The ads make it seem like a safespace for women and if that’s all it was meant to be then it for sure had a very unfortunate name.

I’m all for groups of safe spaces for women. Especially when it’s designed to keep them safe while dating. I have my doubts that Tea was that. Even if it was advertised as such, “tea” is slang for the word gossip. I’ve heard stories from several sources that it was used to dox people as well. Not saying what happened to the users is right. I think some users here are just feeling smug that this might cause the app to fail or shut down.

Considering that “tea” is common slang for gossip I’m not convinced there was many of the latter former.

Which is not a good reason to upload photos of drivers licenses.

Didn’t realize the N word was family friendly lol

I saved a few hundred dollars on textbooks with Z-Library. I’ve been impressed with their mobile app too!

I haven’t tried super hard, but season 5 of Tim and Eric’s Aweseome Show Great Job is the only one I can’t get. I found one torrent, but there are no seeders.

I did this with a portable version of Turtle WoW and it worked perfectly, even with mods.

I’m not a developer but I believe it was the Voyager dev that explained Lemmy currently can’t do this. Apps only reach out to Lemmy servers while they are open. Push notifications would require the developers to run their own servers that the apps would reach out to while running in the background and no one wants to pay for that especially since most apps are free. I may be explaining this wrong.

It’s by far been one of if not the best way to reach their audience for well over a decade. RSS feeds might be well used by lemmy users, but you don’t really think most people get their news that way? Or even know how to use RSS, or what it is. I’ve got friends and family members who have never owned a personal computer, but they have accounts on all the biggest social media platforms.

I agree with you there. I’ve personally found it very interesting to try new programs and figure out each one’s layout and work flow, but I’ve found many people absolutely hate doing that. I get it, if you want to just use the product for what it’s intended for maybe you don’t want to waste time learning the differences. All of that in consideration, I don’t think gimp is that bad

It used to be way worse. I first tried gimp 10ish years ago and instead of the program running from a single window it was like the canvas, the hierarchy tree, and every other toolbox had its own separate window. I think they updated that a while ago now.

Thanks for the link! Should I be using a VPN while using this program?

A sales person was trying to sell me a timeshare with the ol “only the cost of a cup of coffee per day” tactic. The conversation got real awkward when I told them I couldn’t afford a cup of coffee everyday

When I create a world for the first time it might take a couple minutes, but after the initial creation it’s really quick to load up a game
