Oh no, somebody who might be Russian took a family vacation to go fishing with their loved ones!? What an orgy of indulgence! The audacity!

This list is... fine, but unfortunately missing a number of good FOSS alternatives. Still, it's good info for most of these categories.

Having said that, it's eternally frustrating that infographics like these so often don't recommend actual alternatives for YouTube specifically. It's always just "keep using YouTube, but with these apps instead" which, that's "fine", but not exactly degoogling. It's not even really a step towards degoogling, because you're still tied to watching content from Google, so when that frontend stops functioning, you're highly tempted to go back to using Google's YouTube apps.

The public out there on the streets of LA this weekend are certainly doing substantial things. Why the defeatism? Go join them and help.

I don't understand the concern, domain names are cheap and easy to get, they can just keep using new ones. Why does it matter if they lose the ones they have?

Piratebay used to do the domain dance all the time back in the day (and maybe still do).

Single digit temperatures. One can always wear more clothing to keep warm, but can only get so naked in triple digit heat before dying from exhaustion or dehydration.

FYI, bots and crawlers can simply ignore your robots.txt entirely. This is probably common knowledge around these parts, but I've run into clients at work who thought it was a law or something.

I do like the idea of intentionally polluting the data robots will see, as suggested by this comment. There's no reliable way to block them without also blocking humans, so making the crawled data as useless as possible is a good option.

Just be careful not to also confuse screen readers with that tactic, so that accessibility is maintained for humans. It should be easy enough if you keep your aria attributes filled out appropriately, I imagine.

Respectfully, I think the inverse is true. A kid is going to use the words anyway, all you're doing by trying to prevent them from using them is signaling that you aren't a safe person for them to be themselves around.

Teaching my kid not to use certain words sometimes was easy and went something like this: "Some people (like grandpa and when you're at school) don't like to hear words like 'fuck', and it's good to be nice to people, so if you aren't sure whether someone wants to hear 'fuck' then try to avoid it."

I looked at the comments on a few of your posts, and people are telling you exactly why they are annoyed by them.

Your posts come off as low effort spam, almost like you're treating Lemmy communities like a Discord chat room. Also, you post very similar kinds of things about the same couple of games on the daily, and people probably get tired of seeing samey stuff in their feed.

I've noticed that you're making hyper specific posts ("what do you think about X mission in rdr") in a general gaming community. Try posting those hyper specific questions in the communities for the actual game you're asking about, where people who want to nerd out about some random mission are more likely to be.

It's cool that you're trying to engage people though, I think you just need to get some more practice at reading the crowd here. Lurk more, maybe. Lemmy isn't the other site, we don't necessarily resonate with all the same kinds of content here.

Yes. (Or rather, gender neutral.)

If someone needs/wants to use AI to do extremely simple things like plan their date activities, that's a good indication that they are an exceedingly uninteresting and unengaging person overall. They can't even do the simple things, so the hard stuff in life is going to be insurmountable and they'll be a massive burden on their friends and partner(s).

Where's the incentive to "give them a chance" in this scenario? The books at home are the better option by far.

Ignoring fascists and hoping they go away is one reason why fascism is having a resurgence right now. Immoral behavior should be challenged as widely and publicly as necessary to make everyone aware that it's inappropriate. People don't stop doing immoral things unless there are social consequences for it.

It was a revelation at some point in my young life when I realized that CEOs (and any other executive position) are not the highly trained and capable leaders with grand business acumen that I was led to believe they are. Literally anyone can be a CEO for a few dollars and their name on a business registration with the local government, no training or capability is required.

Horrifying in retrospect to realize how many people lionize executives simply for adopting a title.

Why does public infrastructure need to be commercially viable? There's plenty of good reasons for people to need to travel aside from engaging in commerce.

The justification should go the other way round; infrastructure is for public use, and commercial entities ought to be taxed extra for utilizing public resources.

When your family member's privacy is compromised, so is yours.

This is not how jobs work. It never has been.

Do more than expected, and that becomes your new expected output. Get the same money, over years, which doesn't keep up with CoL and translates to a pay reduction. Jump to another job, maybe, if you can manage to do so after exhaustion from working "more than expected" and then going home to take care of life responsibility.

Oh you mean like is currently happening right now without socialism?

KDE Connect should fit the bill; despite the name, you don't need to be using KDE (or Linux even) since there are clients for every major OS, even mobile.

Among many other cool features, it lets you easily and simply just send a file from one device directly to another on your local network. I use it all the time to send photos from my phone to my desktop without plugging anything in, for example.

This kind of confusion illustrated by Telegram users is exactly why it was the right thing to do for privacy when Signal removed support for SMS because it's not encrypted. People still whine endlessly about it, but most users are not very savvy, and they'll assume "this app is secure" and gleefully send compromised SMS to each other. All the warnings and UI indicators that parts of the app were less secure (or not at all in the case of SMS) would be ignored by many users, resulting in an effectively more dangerous app. Signal was smart to remove those insecure features entirely.

I think OP is referring to Fog Panther, I just saw this yesterday in Flathub: https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/com.fogpanther.FogPanther. It definitely appears to be some jackass selling a blatant GIMP clone.

It is probably a good idea to mention what Redshift actually is, since it's far from the top result in a search, and a lot of people associate that word with an AWS product by the same name. Wikipedia describes the Redshift you presumably mean as:

an application that adjusts the computer display's color temperature based upon the time of day.

It also mentions that gammastep is a more recent fork, but it has not had any commit activity for 2.5 years, so gammastep might be abandoned as well.
