I wish they got sanctioned into oblivion.

Apple is getting their butt handed to them in china. Very nice.

Exactly. Proudly presented by https://fedipact.veganism.social/ and https://fedipact.online/why among others.

You can read the human rights abuses that meta is facilitating above.

Oh man… that article is very long but the first 10 or 20 paragraphs make me nauseous.

It has a plex addon. I watch plex on it every day, same as twitch and youtube.

Yeah no. 20 bucks for a pi zero and libreelec. No ads, you can play retro games on it and did I mention, NO ADS!

Oh wow! Thats gnarly. On that note, have you looked at rustdesk? Tried it this week and it runs great. Its also open source.

The reasons are plenty, they are laid out here:

I‘m not a fan of reinventing the wheel so feel free to ask questions if you like.

Exactly! It’s like meta is actively trying to show how right us naysayers were.

Fedipact for the win! :)

Not annoying at all.

I‘m running a public instance on two threads and I think 2 gb of ram. A private instance shared with other services on 6 threads and 8 gb of ram. Make of that what you want. :)

I would probably rent a vps which you could extend if needed but start small. With 2 threads and 4 gb of ram at least.

Anecdotal evidence: I run two instances, a private and a public one. Neither uses a lot of resources.

But I get the database thing. Its spiking every couple minutes and a lot every hour. It’s not a big deal if you have 2 threads at least but I can see how it doesnt work for everyone in every scenario.

I‘m glad alternatives exist and I‘m much more positive on AP alternatives than protocol exiles.

If anything on lemmy has ever been „nottheonion“ material, it is this.

…we haven‘t been sued by our customers for bad code!

Yes thats due to testing.

Can you prove that?

…

In games its on par except a couple niche situations with rootkits and other anti user solutions afaik.

Because they’re the bad guys. Companies the size of nation states are an abomination that should never have existed in the first place.

I really feel like I‘m visiting two dimensions on lemmy. I really like firefox and I use it daily with no complaints whatsoever. But the amount of people saying „it has only gotten worse recently“ seems to be the same crowd for the last 3 years. Its always on its way down, it gets all his revenue from google bla bla bla. I know thats an issue, using chrome is not the answer.

I‘d really like to be able to sue them at the ICC for abusing the human right to not be surveiled at all times.

My wife recently asked me if I‘d ever move to the UK. Fuck no!

Of course, the voice of reason. :)

The interesting bit for me is that if you ask a rando some programming questions they will be 99% wrong on average I think.

Stack overflow still makes more sense though.
