You guys make this sound like some kind of doomsday movie.

I'm not downplaying how bad things are, but if you really have the several thousand dollars you'd need to actually uproot your entire life just sitting around, good for you. Most people don't have that kind of free money.

And good luck moving if you have pets, or have family members you care for. Have you guys even been to your "target" countries? Do you have plans for how you'll make income? How does healthcare work in your target country?

If you have all that figured out, and have nothing to leave behind, then good for you, I really do hope you end up better off. But this panicked response of "What are you waiting for, run!!!!!" is way more entitled than people seem to think.

Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They're just trying to reach as many people as possible.

They have to restrict themselves to pickpocketing roaming NPC fascists.

What? Fascists? RuneScape doesn't have...

Oh. HAM, I almost forgot about those guys.

OF requires strict government issued ID verification in some jurisdictions. Patreon does not, at least in the US.

That should be your deciding factor already. No one should have their privacy invaded just to send you a few bucks a month.

What do you mean? RPCS3 is an excellent emulator. It's not completely hardware accurate, almost no 3D emulator is, but it's still pretty good.

The guy you were replying to is saying "People hate GrapheneOS because it requires a Pixel," they were not saying "everyone in the world should be using a Pixel" as you seem to have mistaken.

You're getting very fired up and heated in the comments here... maybe take a break?

He did not really step down, it was just a symbolic public gesture. He's still actively contributing to the project, check the GitHub commits and comments. He just stopped having so many Twitter meltdowns.

Before it got enshittified with an update a few years ago, I used the RealVNC Android app to connect to a few of my own VNC servers. Wasn't interested in any of the fancy features, I just wanted a good VNC app.

Now I use AVNC. It's solid, performs better than RealVNC used to, and it's open source! You can get it on FDroid.

It should still work!

I only go back and make changes to LED if something breaks with a major Lemmy update, but Lemmy hasn't had a major update since January. Lemmy v0.19.4 isn't released yet, but when it is, I'll make sure the deployment is up to date.

Note that it does not have any advanced features that a major instance might want, such as storing images on S3, exporting data, or image moderation. If you intend for your instance to grow for 100+ users, this isn't for you. This is only intended for beginners who are overwhelmed by the other Lemmy hosting options, and want an easy way to host a small single-user or small-user instance.

I don't think I've been banned, but I did a similar thing. I requested all my data from Reddit, then used that list of comment/post IDs to mass-edit them. I think I'm in the clear because I used the official third party API, with an official "app." If you used the private API or instrumented this via the browser, that may be why you were banned.

Anyway, if you or someone else wants their full history, Reddit will give it to you via a data export request.
