I’ve been using threadiverse, but I prefer forumverse

It’s immediately clear what it’s referring to, and it leaves it open to other compatible platforms once they implement activity pub nicely. Being able to subscribe and post to official support forums from the forumverse would be a cool promo point

Also people refer to many things as “threads”. Conversations, comment sections, discord has threads. Forum is much more clear

Or “aggressive”

It stopped doing that a few months back, but it still randomly asks every now and then. I wish Android could deny permanently

The autofill popup has always been unreliable for me on Android (with Bitwarden)

I use the quick settings tile most of the time instead

This is good feedback, I’ll note them down for the next set of changes

Bulleted lists, a weird positive tone, unnecessarily professional, a summary or “but you should check with an authority figure” sentence at the end

I think it’s a mix of the two. There are legitimate reasons, and commercial reasons

Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world’s largest manufacturers.

They’re disabling features

Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.

What is the 48.4% for Reddit, since it isn’t decentralized at all?

Someone ate a bee 🤔

While it’s still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of “open source AI” are better than others

The OSI one is decent

The format of the post also looked similar to spam posts at first glance. A lot of them are pushing AI things

While this won’t be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back

I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.

Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn’t really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I’ve made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get

This does happen with comments sometimes. I go into a post and someone has already eloquently said what I would have said (often better than I would have). So I upvote it and move along

The Hedge fund is not doing well unfortunately

Good to know, Pixelfed logins have consistently been buggy for me. I hope they improve that over time

Also posting to !offbeat@lemmy.ca. It’s a small community that others might like too

Yes it’s hard to tell what they’re looking at, but I imagine the less info they can collect from your device the better?

I usually lookup ‘alternative frontends’ and then find a list like this on github type sites. They go out of date often

With the proxy websites, it’s more of an alternative frontend where you still need an account on the platform.

What might be happening is

• your device or IP address is flagged from your previous attempts
• they’ve connected it to your real name / shadow profile somehow

So if you really need to use it and there’s no alternative, you could do one of

• make the real account, ideally from a privacy friendly browser, and give the absolute minimum info you can. Name and email, no profile image, privacy settings to max

• make an account on a new device / wifi network, and have it be believable for the kind of person joining Facebook for the first time. I haven’t tried this myself but I’ve heard it mentioned before

Whether you made an account or not, you can keep an eye out for alternatives. Over here there are a few alternatives, and one of them (Karrot) has been growing in popularity

It might enshitify at some point, but it’s been nice so far
