As a techie, I would say rather stay away from browser extensions. A lot of them do add great functionality but browser extensions are much more difficult to verify and it's a lot easier for them to be malicious without you knowing

Lately? It's been bad for years though

Some suggest matrix, others simplex. Not sure which one would be better honestly

How is this not bigger news?

Hi, not a bot, just mostly a lurker

This is the best

Definitely love that it feels like a nice quiet corner of the internet

Same. Migrated to Lemmy with the API changes, haven't looked back

This is the most excited I've been in a long time!!

No I'm literally just asking, I don't understand why people use that platform, it's mind numbing

 

I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

As per title, I'd like to know if there are any third party apps worth it still?

I'd ideally like a web app that scrapes the shit out of Reddit causing more harm than good. Anything like that available? (Even if it's a website that scrapes I'll be happy)

 

As per title, I would love a toggle option to allow in app links to open in my default browser automatically.

 

So I'm curious with the whole Ledger seed backup controversy, are Ledger devices actually safe? Should I continue to use my Ledger? I don't have much so I'm not too concerned, but I'd like to still sleep peacefully at night regardless.

 

I read a post about it but the post was deleted and I can't find anything on google. What I gathered from the post before deletion was its some kind of religious thing but it scares most people?

 

As the title says, lemm.ee is defederating instances that are allowing thousands of spam bots to be created on them. Will we be taking similar action? What is the game plan here?

 

I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

 

Hello world, I'm looking for motorsport reruns or recordings, specifically F1 and MotoGP. I'd like to watch the entire race but not live, maybe 2 or 3 days after.

Are there any resources like this?

Unhappy with Lemmy (sh.itjust.works)

I'm really not happy with Lemmy so far. Its a great community and a cool concept, but the amount of bugs I am experiencing is really starting to put me off.

The site constantly updates / glitches, when I try click on something it moves just before I click so I end up clicking on something else. If I open a post, as soon as I go back the entire home feed is different and my sorting preferences have been reset.

As someone coming from the refinement from Apollo this really is offputting and makes me want to use Lemmy even less.

The people here are great, the federation is cool and I like how decentralized it is, but I think I'm going to log off now and I don't expect to be back anytime soon.

Ps. A functioning app I can download directly from the app store would be great. I'm not interested in progressive web apps or testflight betas, I want something that just works and is well refined.

Edit: I understand its early days, I'm not faulting devs for not being able to keep up, all I am doing here is expressing my opinion. I'm also sad about losing Apollo so that definitely adds to my disappointment quite a bit if I'm being honest.

 

Title says it all, my favourite subreddit is now on Lemmy

Welcome everyone, thank you all for being here! That is all I have to say <3
