The UK moves are very worrying. We’re trying to help people to move away from big tech at our site https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/
We recommend fediverse protocols wherever possible - so I’m interested in the comments here about how that is affected
Great list - thanks for sharing! I hadn’t heard of Inkscape - that’s a good find.
More alternatives here in the Alternatives menus of this site: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/stopusingbigtech.html
wow! that’s quite a serious undertaking… especially if you need to be able to interact with it e.g. create new tasks, change due dates, mark as done/not done.
you sure?
It could be a reducing interest in posting totally public stuff. Perhaps people want to just use group chats in Signal instead?
RSS. And very happy that it is!
As long as software is available in the Software Manager to be installed that way… I don’t care what format it’s in.
But don’t make normies go to the terminal. It’s inhumane, and really does not help the masses get away from big tech - which is a worthier goal than keeping your software terminal-only.
Would SSO every be possible with ActivityPub?
Like if you built a new app (network) on AP and allow people to sign in with their Mastodon handle?
oops. linked now…
It says “Payments are made after exchanging existing money into electronic money with the help of an Exchange service, that is, a payment service provider for Taler.”
Do they say anywhere who that payment service provider is? And are there options for who to use?
What is the relationship of fiat currency to tokens? is it €1:1 token?
We just put some of these privacy alternatives on a map: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/stopusingbigtech.html (scroll down)
What’s missing is anything truly FOSS with no fixed country of origin, but it’s still fun to see how some of the main players spread out.
Enjoy!
Is there not a service like Bandcamp, but for movies and TV?
I want to pay for stuff, so the creators are rewarded, and then I own a copy.
Is Emby totally self hosted (like Jellyfin)? Or do they host your stuff (like Plex)?
If there was a Bandcamp for film and TV, then I would buy stuff there. DRM free.
But until then…
Oh… I thought it meant that those cookie banners were ‘false consent’ and therefore render the data collected to be illegal?
Please provide more info - I would like to learn more about this subject!
That is a great find. Thank you!
Oh wow, you’re right!
I wonder how they set that up? DDG has thousands of bangs but not one for Lemmy - probably because it is not at one single URL?
It would be cool if there was an operator that would force the search into Lemmy content. Are they called bangs? Like starting with !r
Totally. And that “legitimate interest” nonsense takes ages to click through 🤦
Big tech lobbying is behind all this
