Promotional posts require community participation or they will be removed. No more than 10% of your posts or comments may be self-promotional, or your post will be removed. **F/LOSS Exception**: If your post is about a project that is completely open source & without any paywalls, it will be exempt from this rule.

To me, this says, if you're posting something behind a paywall (F/LOSS or not) they're going to look at your post history. If you're a shill, it will be removed. If you're someone who self hosts and just wants to talk about self hosted apps, you're fine.

Said another way, if all you do is post promo content it's not welcome here. If it's a one off then post it.

Look, if you don't like the rule, make a suggestion to the mods on how to make it better. The spirit here is we all love learning and using new tools paid or not. If you want to share something new to you, like Plex, I'm 100% sure its fine. Post, promote what you love, start a conversation around Plex. The problem is if you only ever talk about Plex and promote it. It gets old FAST and it's not a community I want to he apart of.

Self-promotion posts advertising their product requires community participation, or they will be removed. No more than 10% of your posts or comments may be self-promotional, or your post will be removed. **F/LOSS Exception**: If your post is about a project that is completely open source & can be self-hosted *in full* without payment, your post is exempt from this rule.

How about

Promotional posts advertising a product requires community participation. If more than 10% of your history is promotional it will be removed. F/LOSS Exception: If a project is completely open source and can be self-hosted in full without payment, it is exempt.

Edit: we've come full circle. Let's just do 'don't be a shill' and be done with it....

Symfonium is another paid example. Amazing app. Even with the new rules we can post about them. With that, I don't understand your original complaint.

If you're not pushing your paywalled stuff, it doesn't affect you, does it?

Yeah, I understand that. I was suggesting saying the same thing without the exception wording. In the end, it doesn't stop us from talking about paid software. I use Plex, etc, etc, it's the promotion that's the problem.... That being said, maybe I've misunderstood non_burglar's complaint. Unless they are a closed source dev looking to promote.

I think that's the important distinction to make. Maybe get rid of the f/loss exception and explicitly call out the paid aspect. If you're here to promote software that's pay walled you get the 10% rule.

ETA: I'm fine with the new rules. Just trying to find common ground.

Navidrome and symfonium(paid) have been amazing to me for the last year. I'll never go back.

This is horse shit. My ~8 month old son was put on all the lists in our area when my wife was a month pregnant. The only one that we have a chance with he's 11th and its $1800 a month. We didn't make the short list for next school year it seems.

More money to the $10 a day program is horse shit. $19 a day, $10 a day. None of it matters if you can't get in to ANY to begin with.

On the $10 a day lists we're over 100th in line. We got on as soon as we had a positive test.

On the daycares that don't join the $10/day program, they are 1500++ a month. We're still 30+ on some lists and 11th on one.

Charge us whatever you want, nothing will change that I do not want to become the 51st state.

We'll make new friends who went to kindergarten and have learned how to make friends and share. You're quickly becoming background noise already.

Amazon employees who refused to relocate near main offices of their teams were told they either have to find a new job internally or leave the company through a “voluntary resignation.”

How dumb does he think people are? This just makes me angry because they're probably going to get away with it too.

Starting from the home screen, your main home page on Apostrophy OS is called the “Domus.” It’s a grayscale page with shortcuts for the Aphy Store (Apostrophy’s own app store), your calendar, contacts, Apostrophy’s VPN service, your files, email, and more. You can’t customize anything on this page, and everything you do here is run through Apostrophy’s servers for maximum security.

So far, not so good...

The last paragraph feel more like the authors opinion, which is a bit weird on an Android website.

I agree with the EU on this one though, I hate walled gardens and the EU is doing good work.

"I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada," Trump said.

I'll take that as a complement from you. Thanks!

We’re taking care of their military. We’re taking care of every aspect of their lives, and we don’t need them to make cars for us,” Trump told Time. “In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.

Then stop importing and we'll see how long before it's a problem for the people.

But the pedo is the one who will bomb them, and its clear he doesn't give a fuck.

These people have balls. I wouldn't be there. I think it'll give him more reason to bomb them. Fuck this sucks.

I never really understood the "I have nothing to hide" mindset. I've always been for privacy. I self host everything I use, and when I don't (e-mail) I PAY someone to do it for me. No Google services in my life, no apple, etc, etc.

However, more and more I'm wondering if what I'm doing is worth it. Really, the people who "have nothing to hide" seem fine, nothing bad has happened, and it seems far more likely my information was leaked from a hack (credit carma I'm looking at you). Credit cards know where I am, what I buy.... Its endless. Plus now I have stress about my self hosted services going down.

So these guys who share their location and just live in blissful ignorance, are they on to something? I think life would be 'easier' for me on their side...

I think "stomping down" is the wrong phrase to use. Regardless, I have a couple in my family... Asking them "how do I change your mind" or "what would need to happen for you to even consider the other side" has shown me some people can't be helped.

I wanted to vote NDP but I felt I had to vote Liberal to negate their PP vote. My riding is liberal this time and I'm super happy.

I was under the impression that he said Americans would never have to vote again. Does that mean there is no 3rd term, just a really long second?

I'm so tired of this shit.

The one and only time I was put under I said "you know what you're doing, eh?" And he just put me out. I didn't mean to say that, I was just nervous. I did see a nurse laugh though so that's nice.
