"that option because just goes to desalines"

Who is the developer of the software. How they choose to develop Lemmy is up to them - you do have a choice though. Support them or don't. What no one who donates has a choice over is how the developers choose to use the development funds they receive.

Not the point. The issue OP has is with the instance .ml - if they are donating to the developers then they're contributing towards development costs which affect both .ml and every other instance. If that's too much of a hurdle for them, maybe they could switch to donating to their instance admin.

I doubt a lot of Lemmy users have got those apps on their phones. Although I am curious about how it would affect people who, say, used Island or similar (leverage the Work profile) to install them as I have seen that suggested in privacy communities before. Would Meta only be able to access other apps installed to that profile - if you had a browser installed in it too for example?

I think he's confused the US with the UK. Over here, companies (not individual employees) can be legally forced to introduce backdoors and legally prevented from ever mentioning it.

Apple recently got around this by 'accidentally leaking' the fact the UK gvmt were ordering them to break encryption.

If they had developed a centralised bit of software such as Twitter or Reddit you'd have a point. In that case you can't support one without the other.

On a decentralised bit of software you can support the developers and spend your time on an instance they have no control over. So supporting the developers for development is not the same as supporting any particular instance - thats why a lot of instances accept donations too.

Americans when a country surrenders to a heavily armed death machine: lol, surrender monkeys!

Americans when a country surrenders to a diaper wearing fascist old man: USA! USA! USA!

All these billionaires stockpiling in their secure bunkers have clearly never heard of the word 'siege'.

Probably not federated across yet. BTW - you're better using the right structure for linking to communities in post:

!communityname@instancename.tld

And most of all, a gargantuan ego that refuses to believe anything bad can happen to them.

I'm around your age and whilst I have friends who are around your blind dates age, I would never consider a romantic relationship with someone that age. Its not the number of years so much as the generational thing. I have kids older than that and that's where it goes into weird territory.

Everyone's different and you do you etc but I'd ask your daughter at the very least to inform the other half of this date how old her date is going to be.

Yep - just about every XMPP client for example.

Gonna be that guy and mention an alternative - Schildi Chat available for web, desktop and Android. Its based on the Element apps but with some extras. For example if you use the 'Next' variant of the Android app, Spaces work as intended.

Guess I'm lazy but there's no way I'm copy pasting message after message after message from any messaging app into Kleopatra. PGP is great tech but awful usability.

You're a bigot who is on a platform that doesn't tolerate bigotry. Off you fuck.

I read an interview with someone at Adobe a long time ago that talked about how they knew very well Photoshop was the most pirated software on the planet at the time and in fact they even did their best to track how much it was pirated and factored that in to their estimation of prevalence and reach.

I'd be surprised if the publishing industry doesn't do something similar in order to get an idea of just how popular a title and/or author is, which will of course factor in to any decision to keep publishing new work by an author and thus make them all more money.

Thats just the main instance, there's a list of public instances there too. I don't think development is stopping, just hosting an instance

I know why - Martin can't write complex characters and confuses shock value for motivations. They're all caricatures, not characters. Its just a medieval soap opera.

Maybe uncharitably, my first thought when reading a post like this is "what shitty thing do you want to say?".

But I don't know you so maybe I am being uncharitable.

But you have to realise the fediverse in general is not owned by capitalist orgs with high priced legal teams. Its mostly small teams of private individuals. If someone posts something illegal, including defamatory, in their legal jurisdiction (which is probably not the USA) then they might be on the hook for it too.

Even if you run your own instance if you're enough of a dick it'll get defederated or you'll be banned from multiple instances/communities.

Learn to play nice in other peoples yard. Its hard sometimes but just walking away and blocking is the best option. Sometimes I need to make more effort to do that too.

So yes, you are. Got it.
