Removal of piracy communities
  • So, in order to subscribe to those communities I should create another account in a different instance that either has them or is federated with them, right….? Any workaround for that? This sounds like it’s going to be a real chore to follow and will push a lot of people out of lemmy in general Edit: As it seems some people don't understand, this is not a threat, just a fact. It doesn't matter the justification, doesn't matter that lemmy.world is run by volunteers, it doesn't matter that it's piracy (or weed, or shrooms...) that's blocked. It will be a chore for everybody to have to manage multiple accounts in different instances and that will push people away from lemmy in general. Reddit wasn't important because of it's technology, it was the massive userbase and the content that provided. Pushing people back into reddit will harm lemmy and the fediverse. And all for those comunities which didn't do more than just saying "this game has this DRM" or "there exists a cracked version somewhere for this game".

  • I always thought that VPN (or any other means of hiding your IP) is a necessary but not sufficient step to prevent online tracking. Is this not correct? I don't think that using GChrome with a VPN will do much, in the same way as using hardened browsers without VPN will do much. It might depend on the thread model.

  • I haven't seen Nord being recommended in a privacy focus forum in forever. Not sure about their relationship with law enforcement, but I had the understanding that they would benefit from selling your data. Might have to research a bit more before my protonvpn renewal comes.

  • What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?
  • Let's keep the upvotes to the post/comment only, do not show the overall of a user and don't take it into account in any algorithmic decision. Let community managers see the 'karma' of the user in their respective community maybe, but beyond that it's a feature that only had negative implications on Reddit

  • Pasting images in Flatpak applications, what permissions are needed?
  • Thanks! It now makes sense. I still have an issue where I can't paste a screenshot directly (I can paste the file, but I can't just take the screenshot and paste it as is) but it's now much more convenient at least.

  • Pasting images in Flatpak applications, what permissions are needed?

    I have installed a few chat applications through flatpak (teams with Edge and "Whatsapp for Linux"). In both cases I can't paste images or drag files. I can paste text and I can upload files through the GUI. I imagine this is likely due to a permission that can be set through Flatseal. Anybody can help?
