A Canadian friend introduced me to putting malt vinegar on my “fish and chips”. Was one of those eye opening “why haven’t I been doing this all my life!” moments.

Try kagi search! It actually has a “lense” or search option that lets you directly search federated services like lemmy: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/lenses.html

Also note that these are spaces and not rooms. They work just a bit different depending on your client.

The link for the main lemmy dev chats can be found in the readme.

This should be the matrix link: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org

If I remember right, there was a pretty big change in how pictrs(photo management) worked with lemmy after 0.19.3. There were a few breaking changes and Postgres updates that would take an instance down for a while as well. Not sure if that’s the reason why but it made my instance stay on 0.19.3 for longer than it should have.

You can search instances and communities with https://lemmyverse.net/communities

As an instance owner and moderator: that’s a horrible way to look at things. Just throwing the onus onto someone else is irresponsible.

I’m all for it as long as people know that posting on something like mastodon and tagging a lemmy community will then make a post in that community. Could make for great discussions, but could also lead to a lot of posts/spam in the communities.

I was a little floored when they announced this product (and Proton Scribe). Don't really see the need for it in the Proton Suite.

 

After many improvements to Proton Wallet during the last year and positive feedback from the community, we are opening Proton Wallet to the world so that everyone can enjoy financial freedom and sovereignty.

The 8bit Celeste music sounds pretty good on the demo!

 

NewsNation has obtained exclusive footage showing the retrieval of an egg-shaped object, recorded during a UAP retrieval operation. The egg resembles UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) U.S. Navy fighters reported seeing off the east coast of the U.S. in 2015.

Copied from the reddit post:

Hi all, last night, a post from last year from my personal X account suddenly became a topic of discussion here on Reddit. I want to share a few thoughts on this to provide clarity to the community on what is Proton's policy on politics going forward.

First, while the X post was not intended to be a political statement, I can understand how it can be interpreted as such, and it therefore should not have been made. While we will not prohibit all employees from expressing personal political opinions publicly, it is something I will personally avoid in the future. I lean left on some issues, and right on other issues, but it doesn't serve our mission to publicly debate this. It should be obvious, but I will say that it is a false equivalence to say that agreeing with Republicans on one specific issue (antitrust enforcement to protect small companies) is equal to endorsing the entire Republican party platform.

Second, officially Proton must always be politically neutral, and while we may share facts and analysis, our policy going forward will be to share no opinions of a political nature. The line between facts, analysis, and opinions can be blurry at times, but we will seek to better clarify this over time through your feedback and input.

The exception to these rules is on the topics of privacy, security, and freedom. These are necessarily political topics, where influencing public policy to defend these values, often requires engaging politically.

The operations of Proton have always reflected our neutrality. For example, recently we refused pressure to deplatform both Palestinian student groups and Zionist student groups, not because we necessarily agreed with their views, but because we believe more strongly in their right to have their own views.

It is also a legal guarantee under Swiss law, which explicitly prohibits us from assisting foreign governments or agencies, and allows us no discretion to show favoritism as Swiss law and Swiss courts have the final say.

The promise we make is that no matter your politics, you will always be welcome at Proton (subject of course to adherence to our terms and conditions). When it comes to defending your right to privacy, Proton will show no favoritism or bias, and will unconditionally defend it irrespective of the opinions you may hold.

This is because both Proton as a company, and Proton as a community, is highly diverse, with people that hold a wide range of opinions and perspectives. It's important that we not lose sight of nuance. Agreeing/disagreeing with somebody on one point, rarely means you agree/disagree with them on every other point.

I would like to believe that as a community there is more that unites us than divides us, and that privacy and freedom are universal values that we can all agree upon. This continues to be the mission of the non-profit Proton Foundation, and we will strive to carry it out as neutrally as possible.

Going forward, I will be posting via u/andy1011000. Thank you for your feedback and inputs so far, and we look forward to continuing the conversation.
