Nice, I like it :)

You could add a word or phrase to remind people that it’s being given away for free to anyone that wants to run it. That might get people to think about any benefit they are getting out of it, and how much they want to donate in response.

I’m not sure what is the best wording for that, but just be careful in case someone misunderstands and thinks it might become paid someday. I’ve seen that complaint in the past

For example, this could be misinterpreted:

and if you want to keep using it for free

You can also add a note about the frequency of the messages. Saying that you will only remind people once a year is nice to hear, and that way people won’t dismiss it thinking they will do it when they are reminded the next time

The key is that you need to subscribe to the type of content you want to see. There’s no company here deciding what your feed is going to be.

@BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world, what kind of stuff are you interested in? I’m happy to help you find related communities :)

Cross posted to !opensource@programming.dev, and looks like someone already shared it on !thunderbird@lemmy.world

math requires it, the risk is just too high

I usually don’t check them unless I need to reference something, but I recommend the alternative UIs for looking through old messages. The default Lemmy UI makes it annoying to follow along in past conversations, while Photon for example has a chat layout

You might be better off looking for a community where the moderation optimizes for that kind of discussion (ex. Removing low effort comments, requiring citations, academic oriented, etc). It’s harder to find an entire instance that matches those points, but there should be a few communities like that

Then you can use the subscribed feed only, or block the communities you don’t like

Note, if you have sensitive information in your signal profile, you shouldn’t accept messages you aren’t familiar with

See the “What happens when I …” > “Accept” section

I’m not aware of any other privacy issues past that, but I’d worry about getting more spam by engaging with them

There’s also FTFY, which I thought was a way of throwing offence at the topic and the person that brought it up

This is an awful situation and I hope the people caught up in this make it out ok.

As respectfully as possible, I’m curious what the service and speeds are like for that price

Time to post this on !outoftheloop communities

What app/website are you using?

What you can also try is making accounts on those instances to see what is being filtered. You might notice a pattern hopefully.

Even accessing the community directly on the instance might work

I’m on lemmy.ca and I think I see 40+ comments on that post (counting quickly while scrolling)

The wikipedia seems to keep using words like “it claimed to X”

Also

The shipping date for the product has been delayed for various reasons, but photos from the manufacturing process have been made available. As of early May 2016, the company was months overdue to ship to its Indiegogo backers, with some backers accusing Batteroo of running a scam.

TechnologyCatalyst suggested that the device could be useful “if Batteriser was honest about its product”, not to prolong battery life but to stabilise voltage over its lifetime.

So I think the other comment is reasonable. Rechargeable batteries (ex. People mention Ikea ones and Eneloop) are pretty good now so people that want it can go for those

Yea that’s what I was thinking

“What’s the weather like”

Searching the web for “Whats the weather like” [⬜⬜🔳🔳🔳]

Cool, that makes sense. I dont think there’s a way to search all of any federated system.

I wonder if searching for more content from a particular smaller instance makes it more likely to show up

Cool! How does it work?

It works for me, as well as family members who aren’t as technical / don’t care about why I picked Firefox

Ehh

There’s a clear difference between accepting money from an entity and letting it control things and make decisions. Pushing for a full and clear separation from any potential conflict of interest (while noble) is how projects die.

I’d love for Firefox to be fully funded through small anonymous public donations in an ideal world. As it is, I don’t see an issue from taking Google’s money to do something that most users would want anyways.

If the default search wasn’t google, I’m certain even more users would bail on Firefox. Anyone who does want an alternative search engine is capable of clicking on it during installation.

Yep

There may be a difference in things like pill shape, texture, release mechanism / time to absorb (if it’s not very important for how the medication works)

So it’s ok to have a preference for one brand over the other when one of those points is relevant to your situation. I know some people also prefer the generic brand version over the regular (even if prices were the same)
