Yeah people act like it’s so easy to get a virus but if you’re even remotely competent it’s pretty easy to avoid

As if we needed further proof that that man is a lunatic and a moron.

Genuine question: what alternative would you recommend? I was planning on buying a few for various projects next month with my next paycheck but now I’m not too keen on funding them.

I can’t wait to have to pay a subscription fee for some aspect of it.

No their ads told me they’re the heroic guardians of my privacy.

This is the type of high-brow conversation that keeps me on Lemmy.

Mastodon managed to just confuse the hell out of me before boring me. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I was never on Twitter. It may be me, not the platform/concept.

Poo poo!

Yep! As the other commenter who replies to you said, it definitely can. You don’t even have to selfhost it; the app’s developer hosts a cloud sync server you can pay for thays dirt cheap. You can also sync notes without the cloud server. There are a lot of ways you can use it without having to get into the technical aspect of it!

I boost Joplin on here every chance I get, so please allow me to do so again now! I run it with my own sync server and a small userbase of about 6 people on a cheap VPS. I could not be happier; between the webclipper, sharing, encryption, embedding of pdfs, photos, even mp4s, ease of selfhosting, it’s an amazing project! It’s been (knock on wood) rock solid!

No offense, but is this move motivated by a true need to move ASAP? Because this doesn’t really read like it was written by someone in their thirties. Frankly, if it’s not a true need, it doesn’t seem from this post that you’re in a financial position to do this on anything close to a safe manner. And thus: if this is just a desire, no matter how strong the impulse is, it sounds like you need to wait.

I am not trying to be patronizing or condescending: I would just hate to see someone put themselves at the mercy of the world like it seems you may be about to.

Darknet Diaries is so good! I love his show.

Like VPNs. Pretty simple.

Downside is it will push teens to free VPNs and those are almost always malicious.

Absolutely assinine regulatory decision brewed by people that do not understand how the world or people work at all.

enshitification of everything intensifies

That writing on the wall is actually the reason I asked. Thank you for the follow-up; that link makes it sound like a very nice hike!

Hey OP, do you have any details on this, as in, is there a backstory? Is this just open to any camper that wants to use it? Is it just abandoned and you set up camp?

I once saw one in my apartment building called “f-u-Mike” and I’ve always wondered which Mike in the building the owner was mad at and why

You wanna have a couple of bevvies with the boys?

I’m convinced this is a marketing ploy.

Either that or it’s a good faith question that I’m worried will be scraped by some desperate studio that will then force feed us a Netflix algorithm style “please everyone until the film means nothing” movie lol

Oof that bad huh? I had considered getting it if goes on sale in the future just to see if it is as bad as people say but…damn.
