What if getting their images leaked to the public is their kink?

But the admin can defederate from your instance? Then you do not see any content anymore from theirs and they don’t see you. But maybe I misunderstood you.

Lmao indeed.

Sounds like a transcoding issue which AFAIK can depend on the machine you try to play this with. Doesn’t really solve your problem other than next time get something that’s better at playing more video formats, which is a hilarious and silly problem to have these days.

Daaang, I forgot about the 4 (!!!) front cameras. Super creepy. Like, one is already bad and accepted but four…

Nice how they get you to buy two different products.

If you restrict the crap out of the phones so there is not much interesting to do for kids, it will have similar effects. E.g. they complain about YouTube on their kids phones, block it. Complain about games, don’t let them install them.

Children’s smartwatches are a stripped-down version of a typical smartwatch, and they allow parents to restrict app downloads, usage and calls from an approved list of contacts.

All of that you can do with a phone too. I do admit thought the argument of not losing it as easily since its on your arm makes sense.

Didn’t expect someone to agree who lives in a village, interesting and kudos to you! I live in suburbs of a big city with good public transport options. And whenever that’s not enough there’s a commercial car sharing provider at a parking space down the road. Plus cycling of course.

Proton

Well, follow up then, which provider did you choose that is maybe also European? And something where I maybe don’t need to attach my name to the registration of the domain? Not sure that is unrealistic, I just don’t like to have my name publicly shown in some registry when someone would lookup my domain.

Or, if you can, don’t buy any car.

And I know, depending where you live that may not be possible.

I mean, I’m with you, it is nice to support something you use, financially. But you made a one time payment 12 years ago. Your money is certainly not there anymore, they used it and paid something with it. I don’t know, it just sounds like a really weird take reading your post. But maybe its me whose weird, I would prefer one time payment over subscriptions too.

You wonder? What else is going to happen, it now stays the same forever? Just a question of when.

It seemed to be quite effective in influencing public opinion before elections. Which makes it even more disgusting to attach such a price tag to it.

Yeah, that is me too. I tried Mastodon for a bit and it just didn’t work for me. Posting something just drowns you out until you actually have a decent amount of followers, however many that may need to be.

If I post with a new account, 99% of it goes into the void. I had a few people like and boost my posts but they were still gone into oblivion within an hour or less. Not sure how that is appealing? It is like a popularity contest. Like those cliques in schools of the popular kids.

Can you explain what you mean with farming upvotes makes sense? There is no part of the algorithm that takes into account how many upvotes the OP recently got, or is there?

Last time I heard about the possibility it seemed a bit hacky, did it get easier by now?

You forgot my favourite one!

“My working hours are not your working hours, feel free to reply when you have the time” or however else it goes…

That is basically the “but Hitler built the highways” argument.
