The keyword here is “modern”. Some people use older hardware, like DVRs with ancient firmwares.

Most people, nowadays, use cloud services instead of USB sticks, so I guess it’s preferred to focus on supporting legacy devices.

The real problem may be external hard drives. Those are commonly used by media creators. Unless they know that they should format to exFAT when buying, they will learn it when it’s way too late.

I may be on the later category. It was ~15 years ago, and little Jimmy (me) got his first external hard drive. However, he didn’t know about formats, and that he couldn’t copy 4.5GB movies to his new toy.

Back then, it was either 4GB file size limit (FAT32), or it only works on one platform (NTFS, ext2, whatever Apple was using, …)

I mostly use Librewolf on Linux, and Fennec on Android. When I specifically need a Chromium-based browser, I usually open a Chromium guest from nix-shell on Linux, or Kiwi on Android.

I stopped following Thorium when some questionable pics were discovered in its repo

They said National Geographic, not Discovery Channel

Did Google ever offer an open source client for the email?

I use Tutanota for my email

It has been time for that, long ago. Why did you have to wait for everything to go south?

You could theoretically host a Piped API instance, and use it to get channel info. I guess you are already using your own SSL certificates, judging by what you are trying to accomplish.

This is the Piped org btw: https://github.com/TeamPiped

It is a YouTube frontend/proxy.

Edit: I made a post on Piped’s community, so we can discuss it there: https://discuss.online/post/16448014

The question is: do we want people to leave corporate services, and join the fediverse, or not? By showing such hostility towards such “crybabies” we will never get any traction.

We are facing a problem. “Crybabies” are arguing about lack of content and/or difficulty on signing up. People on Lemmy are arguing that they don’t want such users in their communities. Other people, thinking of onboarding, may not join after seeing hostile users like you.

I wish I could. However, the device belongs to the company. And sometimes we need the cameras. We used to have Thinkpads with built-in switch-like mechanism that blocks the webcam, but the newer laptops have their camera exposed.

It was an honest question. I have seen various other horrible features, like Glassdoor allowing paying employers to remove negative ratings, so I freaked out a bit in case Teams has hidden features as well.

I know this is shitpost, but since there was another indication of such feature existing (although untrustworthy - the Brave Search’s AI summary), I wanted to confirm.

Since the answer of the AI seemed misleading, I asked here to confirm.

I don’t blindly trust AI responses. However, that was way too concerning not to ask about it, considering that I work from home and that we use Teams.

Is this legit? Brave’s AI summary claims that Teams indeed gives this option to the host. However, it points to a Teams documentation page that does not mention such feature.

At least they cens0r€d their username

That’s how protests work. Just because you are not affected, does not mean you should not participate. Any subreddit participating is probably trying to show they are anti-nazi, and/or they support the efforts of the others in the platform.

Of course it causes trouble for users, but sadly that’s what Twitter has become and it deserves this hate. None of this would have happened if Elon truly advocated for freedom of speech, instead of using his power to push his right-wing beliefs.

I am proud that there are still some mods in Reddit that take the risk of protesting. I was afraid they got removed on the previous Reddit protest, about pricing changes.

Adding to that, not caring about politics probably means going with the flow and not reacting. Which, in today’s capitalist world, usually means supporting big corporations by using their services, just because everyone else use them.

This looks great. I have been using Nextcloud and FileBrowser for that.

We trust our medical records to insurance companies, that hire big consulting firms, that don’t know how to protect data or promote affiliate services. I love this world.

I work in another big4 company, and I have a strong feeling that your claims apply to us as well.

It’s funny though that before joining the company, employees are forced to sign some documents about anti-corruption policies.
