I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
Neat
Use all capitals if an abbreviation is pronounced as the individual letters: BBC, VAT, etc; if it is an acronym (pronounced as a word) spell out with initial capital, eg Nasa, Nato, unless it can be considered to have entered the language as an everyday word, such as awol, laser and, more recently, asbo, pin number and sim card. Note that pdf and plc are lowercase.
It’s still FOSS, and you can either download it offline or selfhost the server if you want to use it without paying. Services cost money to run, I’m not going to ask for them to run that for free indefinitely 🤷

This is still confusing, do they mean that you can open other mailboxes on the proton mail app/web client? That would be nice if implemented well
This makes a lot of sense, but it might take some getting used to. I think people are more self-critical and embarrassed about their coding ability and mistakes than they should be, and they might worry about all that being public.
Assuming this is about duck.ai, I didn’t know they got shit for it. People I’ve talked to generally enjoy having that option available. It’s free and about as private as you can get with the current LLM chatbots, unless you self host one yourself.
At least until Confer gets off the ground. Once that happens, I’m hoping DDG switches to a similar model
That’s a bit of a stretch?
People who pay for Kagi likely tried the trial and found the results to be far enough better than google/microslop that they are willing to pay for the ongoing service. Or they want to support a business model that isn’t based around the advertising industry, so that someday Kagi can realistically compete with the incumbents. I don’t need to search for things often enough to justify the cost, but I know people who use it for work and consider it to be worth the cost.
Meanwhile people who bought NFTs thought that they could sell a copy of a digital image for lots of money.
I think they’re talking about DDG, not google
I’m surprised it took this long. The skill argument makes no sense, since you could just as easily try to apply it to any form of traditional gambling.
The article speculates that this isn’t intentional by Motorola. I’ve also seen mentions speculating a compromised library
Secondly, we can speculate as to what’s going on – and that’s what the following is, speculation and conjecture. While many would quickly, understandably, point the finger at Motorola here, my gut says something else is going on, and that it might not be a decision Motorola actually planned out. The redirect through a seemingly fake website and affiliate code of an influencer that has no obvious ties to Motorola is just too bizarre to ignore.
The links are dead for me, maybe it’s set to private? The first one doesn’t open anything, and the second one takes me to a login page
From what we can see on our end, this account doesn’t match the pattern of the other harassment accounts
They’re somewhat sandboxed, likely to be up to date, and it behaves similarly across different machines. It’s nice for GUI programs that don’t need access to the wider system.
I get the vast majority of my GUI programs from Flathub. I didn’t know there was a controversy with it, other than just wanting a different way of doing things.
I’m familiar with the Snap controversy though
Expanding on a few areas that the other comment didn’t cover:
It has a focus on federation with Mastodon, and so you can take advantage of that whole side of the fediverse. For Lemmy, you can tag a community (as if you were tagging a person) and it will show up there. You can’t tag a bunch of communities though, and I imagine that is to prevent spam. If you view a Pixelfed user on here, you will only see the posts that tagged a specific community. I’m hoping that changes in the future. Pixelfed was also exploring their own implementation of groups / communities, but it will likely be a while before that is implemented.
It does have DMs
For culture, you could see the results of a census we ran: https://fedecan.ca/en/announcements/2026-04-03_censusResults#_3-2-pixelfed-related-questions
Generally I would say
That might actually work for a chaotic storyline with an antihero version of Two-Face. The dichotomous nature is baked into the character, maybe even too rigidly
Odd, its a pretty old website so maybe something broke. Looks like they have issues with their certificate or something
When I manually edit it to https, I needed to accept the risk to see it
I remember this interactive game/video where you can try it out yourself
When people hear the word “addiction” they often assume it implies catastrophe intoxication, loss of control, destruction. But addiction medicine describes a process long before those outcomes appear: the gradual shift from optional use to psychological reliance.
Which similar errors did you notice? I didn’t see anything specific, but I’m curious
This space has a larger proportion of non-americans than older social media sites, if that helps explain anything
