The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS.
Brave would definitely not be my choice 😂

The two most upvoted comments on any Lemmy instance are on Feddit.dk, but you won't see them on your own instance
Its not really a "not playing well" with each other, it is just the mastodon works. That is the reason why most toots in my mastodon timeline have 0 favourites (upvotes) and only a few boosts... I don't know why they do it, because at the minimum the followers of that user should be notified about that like...

Mbin is a fork of kbin: a decentralized content aggregator running on the Fediverse network
Reply in thread
Hi there, mbin dev member here. I do not know melroy personally, but I have never gotten the vibe that he is egotistical or wants to make the project his own. Never heard that he contributed to Lemmy...
Btw. we do not have a lead dev. He is the repo owner though
The core problem I had with kbin was that Ernest is just the kind of person who likes to work alone and in his own ways. That is just not a good fit for a project that gets contributions from the community (which I think he is not interested in). For example: I implemented a subscription panel in June/July 2023 and it got no reply from ernest for months. Then he replied once with the things he wanted changed and I did, then no reply anymore. I think it is still not implemented, but I lost intered. After I opened a PR about adding the same code to mbin I got some replies, answered them, changed the stuff that was complained about and voilá it got approved... It is just not encouraging to contribute to a project where your changes get accepted after a year if you're lucky. Mbin is just more open to people contributing.
But yeah the start was rocky as can be seen here: https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/610675

Did you actually try mbin? Because we fixed a huge number of federation issues kbin had/has. Sure a bunch still need to be worked on, but we do our best and improve it with every release

Signal introduces usernames and phone number privacy.
I think its great. Its for people who simply don't want to share their phone number with other people which is a huge privacy concern, as you can find out a lot about a person by looking up info connected to their phone number.

EV that does not track my every move

That said, your phone shares all that data already, it being shared by another device is not really much different than coming from one source.
That is imo neither here or there. It is about the car. "Another device is also bad so its irrelevant" is just not a good response.

Uh interesting 🤔 I will probably just wait and see if that is actually the case and working. Right now I have an xbox one controller with the wireless dongle for which I need to compile a kernel module to work and I'd like to get rid of that 😅

Wie viele "Totalverweigerer" es beim Bürgergeld wirklich gibt
Ich finde das echt interessant dass die Kürzung des Bürgergelds überhaupt in Ordnung geht. Es ist doch gesetzlich beschlossen dass das Bürgergelddem "Existenzminimum" gleicht, aber wie kann es dann rechtlich ok sein das Existenzminimum zu kürzen.....

Yeah you can work around it, but it is still intentionally restricting you from just using it with non-steam games. I don't want to have to play every game through steam, even though I intentionally bought it from GOG for example

Mozilla is NOT SELLING your DATA! (But they did mess up…)
Reply in thread
If what they have been doing for a while, is now legally "selling your data" in California they just cannot state "we will never sell your data", as the definition of what is meant by "selling data" exactly is not the same everywhere...
They should not have deleted that statement and just clarify it instead of their absolutely messy changes...
