On your Lemmy instance, go to Settings -> Blocks and just block the entire instance. That's what I did.

I just ended up banning the whole instance from my account so I don't end up posting there accidentally. If they want an echo chamber, they can have an echo chamber.

I'm more concerned that it requires Accessibility and Screen Recording privileges to do the same job that Hidden Bar does without any of those.

Not that I don't trust the author here, since the source code is open after all – I simply do not have the time to audit it myself. And even if I did, I'd have to turn off auto update in order to prevent a similar switcharoo sneaking by without my knowledge.

Fair point I guess, although like everyone else ITT I haven't watched the videos so we're all just speculating here, aren't we.

Also, earning five grand a month is not exactly what I'd consider "poor". In fact, it's just a grand shy of a median household income in the US.

Hey, it's a free country, you can believe whatever you want to.

Yeah anyone can be successful if they aren't paying for shit.

You sure about that? Because there's plenty of people living on welfare who never make it anywhere.

If he did give away all of his money then by definition he did not have a safety net to fall back on, no?

Unless you mean being able to call on friends when in a bind. I must admit to not taking the time to watch all the videos, so I don't know what rules he set himself for that, but I suppose it could also count, if it was allowed.

But I mean, proving that theory was entirely the point, wasn't it? He didn't try making his first million from nothing, he already made it once and tried to repeat it. Of course he'd have some sort of relevant experience to fall back on, and generally, almost everything you've done once is easier the second time around (unless you get thrown an unexpected curveball like he did).

There's a bunch of videos in that article, so if you have the time to watch them, you'll probably be able to answer most of these questions yourself.

In the middle of a pandemic, no less.
