I think they're scared by the growth of kbin haha

No but for real, Federation is about being open in my opinion. We have modlogs, everything. Then please provide information about why you exclude x from doing y.

I've been boycotting Reddit for three weeks so far but I did come back today. I deleted my content and commented about a possible GDPR (DSGVO in German) lawsuit if they bring back my content. I recorded my user page pre deletion, while deletion and after deletion. I have the exact date and time in the global menu so there is no fracking around from Reddit. I'll happily contact the German agency responsible for GDPR complaints.

Ich hasse es so sehr, dass ich diesen Pfosten so fühle.

Ein wehrunangenehmer Pfosten mit der feinsten Vermeidung sämtlicher Anglizismen - so mag ich das.
Statt "du H*******hn" benutze ich ganz gern "du Sohn einer Mutter". Sorgt immer für ganz lustige Blicke haha

I do NOT understand how zip is still the default. I use .tgz wherever I can.

I agree with all of this, as long as video will be allowed once there is a useable player for it.

EDIT: LONG POST, my opinion are backed on years of interest in the topics as well as first hand experience.

I'll go Windows x Android first:
Windows is a privacy nightmare. You can try and fight it but you can and will break things along the way. So I'll basically advise you to use anything else.
Android in the other hand has some options to flash custom ROMs and thus you can change what's running. But you're stuck with /e/ OS if you want real privacy without giving up on almost everything Google, banking apps, etc. There are other Android forks but most of them focus on security, features, gimmicks, etc. So at least there you have a good amount of control. You can use Android with KDE Connect for actually good cross device features in my personal opinion.

macOS iOS:
These are fully controlled by Apple. Sure, Apple goes hard against 3RD PARTY tracking, but does not tell you you need to switch off 1st party tracking within multiple settings pages (own experience). There have been some reports about macOS sending hashes of photos from a local account with no iCloud login, but that was fixed quickly, even though I've been skeptical. But this video by Techlore actually explains things really good.

MY conclusion?
I'd say the most private would be Android x Linux with KDE Connect.
2nd place is iOS with proper settings x Linux with KDE Connect. (For real, this tool gets you cool cross device sync.)
3rd place would be iOS x macOS both on privacy friendly settings if you, like me, rely on proprietary stuff. Xcode and iOS development can only be done on macOS and thus I'll stick to this combo. Fedora will always have a special place in my heart and on my SSD though.
So which level of these you want to pick definitely come down to how much you rely on what software and what you can afford. I hope I could help.

Na, nun sprüh doch nicht den Teufel an die Wand

Oh woh. Well I agree on Reddit being in need of making a profit. I uderstand he found Reddit and does not want it to die. But the problem is the "fuck you" price. I would be totally fine to pay Reddit Premium to keep using 3rd party apps. I would have been okay with paying 40 bucks a month instead of 20 to the 3rd party app so the dev can pay the API fees.
But what u/spez is constantly doing and showing is driving me away from being nice and respectful to him. He blackmails 3rd party devs, he falsely accuses them of saying things that never happened. If he just said "I do now want 3rd party apps anymore" I'd be frustrated but I'd forgive and forget. At this point u/spez just seems to fight with the mindset of a preschooler against the community.
Oh and he is sympathizing with Musk and his moderation and way to run a company. These two things already made me say FUCK NO to Twitter.

Edit: he also fucked with long time, loyal super moderators

Ich bin in diesem Bild und ich mag das nicht

I think it might be because there is no "this is a Lemmy domain" in the HTML header and thus the Jebora Dev needs to register every website it can open manually and separately.

Kbin is by far not a finished product. Please do not forget this. Ernest is working super hard on kbin but he is literally ONE MAN running all of kbin with a little bit of external help.

That's because they are very different technologies and approaches. They share the content through ActivityPub but that's mostly it.

I for example almost always append an "Edit:" note even though it initially is Reddiquette not Fediquette. Also you could use Mastodon for kbin content, it shows edit notes and edit histories

I can only repeat what I just commented somewhere else:

I built Swift apps and Mastodon or Discord are NOT a proper format to get help, Discord being crappy for archiving, too.

I have a hard time getting help by people that really know this stuff because Swift is made by Apple, and the Apple bubble tends to stick to Twitter and the likes. If enough migrate, I can finally say frick off, Reddit

Das ist ein potentieller Offensivinternetbeitrag

No. Kbin is the same everywhere. Some things are just in slightly different positions.

Ich will endlich mal verstehen, warum die Masse der Leute so funktioniert. Das macht doch alles keinerlei Sinn!

You can do it on iOS using Siri Shortcuts.
I don't get how they add all these formats to Shortcuts but only Zip into the file app...

Yeah Proton and linux gaming will only get better over time. Valve is heavily invested in getting this really good. And regarding the Android experience, I can only tell you that Google keeps trying to cripple the non Google experience even further. They just tried getting rid of Aurora Store and thus of getting Play Store apps without the Play Store. I just hope Aurora can keep operating just as it did until now.
