Meta trying to blame and put responsibility on someone else? That’s a first 🙃

Hey, we have 5 cars, let’s buy a sixth one! Wow…

But also, I hate the “you need to buy a car so that I can use it” approach so f-ing much…

The issue with Friendica, compared to Lemmy/Mastodon/etc, is that you’d need your friends and communities to also move to Friendica, which hardly happens

I wonder how the EU is gonna like those two options

For some reason I expected this to be a pun or a dad joke…

Yeah, clock app crashing is an interesting one… 🤔

Wasn’t YouTube unrelated to Google at first?

I believe (might be wrong!) there was literally one guy working on it so anything in their personal situation could be the reason

It’s hard enough to find a good alternative, let alone a FOSS one… So sad to see KC and SUMO go…

Someone should then probably let them know 🤷

I think it just auto-discovers federated instances and randomly shows them on the page unless explicitly disabled…

2. You don’t 🙃

/s Sorry, I had to 🤣

Man, I stole your meme

I guess that depends on the instance and its admins, rather than Lemmy as a platform.

Obligatory xkcd link: https://xkcd.com/927

The website that you visit (as in your Lemmy instance) does log your IP address to fight abuse etc. Afaik it’s not sent to other instances, so unless the server admin sells it somewhere (which they shouldn’t but I guess you never know - that’s why some folks host their own instance), it shouldn’t leave the server.

Obviously that doesn’t mean your IP is not logged by external services embedded in the Lemmy UI you’re using - be that ads, video players, etc

Sorry bot, but you can’t just skip the FBI Operation name on this one…

Considering there is a Debian 12 based version available and the latest Ubuntu-based one is 22.04, it does look like they’re moving towards Debian. They don’t seem to be the only one to do it, I’ve heard Linux Mint team is supposed to make LMDE their main distro at some point in future as well

I believe some instances already defederated them?

I can see and install Island from Play Store (just did that a minute ago) so idk what’s the issue…

Why do you need a browser on a PC to install new OS on your phone?
