I know that, and I hate it. Yet, I do not know any other way to meet hot singles in my area (or not in my area).

Now that DuckDuckGo is out. Give me your search prompts and I'll answer them as best I can. That includes images (based on what I have saved on my PC). So what is it you wish to know or see? in c/[email protected]

I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Perhaps you are interpreting their request to not use username and site name and instead use email, to instead use a long form Lemmy username?

No, I was saying to use their Fediverse username and their Fediverse password. Sorry if I got misunderstood. Nothing to do with the actual email address used at signup.

To do so, there would need to be a centralized or federated list of all accounts

Why would there be? The app would just search for the domain name first (let's say "aussie.zone") and then your username (in your case "hitmyspot"). That's kinda how email works as well. What centralized database would you need to interrogate a server on login? It's no different than the current implementation, only that you do not need to remember the website first, just enter the whole username in one go.

It's not really hard to type a website, it's rather hard to remember it. You remember your username. Okay. But where were you? mastodon dot what?

When you use your full address, it's not that hard to remember it.

A while ago I posted a thread back on the

spoiler
spez
website, with a personal opinion on why the Fediverse seems a bit complicated. It basically goes like this: Mastodon (and pretty much every Fediverse project out there) is based on the idea of using multiple websites.

This is not really a problem on the desktop, as you're using the browser to log in to the Fediverse. You go to mastodon.social or lemmy.world, maybe bookmark these, and you log in as normal (if you do not check the remember me option at login). Same goes with Facebook, with Xitter, with the

spoiler
spez
website etc.

Alright, but the newer generations (not everyone, but many folks part of them) rather use apps instead. And what do these apps do? Present a login screen with fields only for the username and the password (at most).

What are the Fediverse apps doing? They are also asking for the website where they would log you in. So you go open e.g. the Mastodon app, then type the website that you need to access (which in many cases it might not contain the word Mastodon in it), and only then you can enter the credentials.

What am I asking now (especially app developers): Wouldn't it be better (if doable) to take some cues on how actually email (and XMPP for that matter) works, and ask the user for the username and the password instead in one go?

Like, everyone knows how to use email, everyone is familiar with that. And as I mentioned, XMPP is also doing it as well:

Gajim account login screen

Wouldn't it be doable?

What does a post-piracy world look like? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

No, I don't think it will go like that.

But if piracy would go away, then it would mean we live in a great world:

  • Software: FOSS/Freeware/Donationware software prevails. People want to use this kind of software, and this is the go-to for any appliance. People would be deeply affected if they could not use free (as both in freedom and/or money, as mentioned before) software - gone will be the days of everyone needing Adobe products or MS Office for their professional work, and the year of the Linux desktop would be in the history books.
  • Movies and TV shows: They would be available anywhere, on demand, in any format. Or there would be this website where you would go to and watch whatever you would, without ads. It would kinda be the same with music.
  • p0rn: I don't have enough knowledge in this field, I just go to certain websites when I need. Guess it would be like on the previous point? idk.

As long as those points are not achieved, there will always be a need for piracy, and people will always find new ways to get their content. So far, I do not see us being somewhere even close to that ideal world, so there are plenty of reasons for piracy to exist.

I personally try to pirate things more ethically, for example I try to buy music and games whenever I can, but I know several people that pirate stuff just because they can.

In your area/country, did you have a word or phrase to describe the static white noise on a television set not tuned to a channel? in c/[email protected]

Something like that. I always heard it from my parents and grandparents that "it's with fleas" or "you can see with fleas" when that happened. I never knew what was the link between those, but it sounds funny all the time, lol.

For those that lived under a repressive regime and now no longer do, which are the funniest jokes that would have risked your freedom or life? (kbin.social)
 

Mine goes like that:

In a classroom, the teacher asks every kid to bring up a 10 lei note to donate for helping people against the poverty in Burundi. The next day everyone brings the money, except for Bulă.

  • Bulă, why did you not bring the money? Asked the teacher
  • Dad said there is no poverty in Burundi.

The following week, the teacher asks everyone to bring 10 lei to donate for helping people against the famine in Burundi. The next day, everyone brings the money, except for Bulă.

  • Bulă, why did you not bring the money? Asked the teacher
  • Dad said there is no famine in Burundi.

The following week, the teacher asks children to bring 10 lei in order to support the Communist Party in Burundi. The next day, everyone brings 10 lei each, but Bulă brings 30 lei. When asked why, Bulă said:

  • Dad told me that if there is a Communist Party in Burundi, there might also be famine and poverty as well.
