Never used google-wallet.
I see many people using their banking app to either pay through NFC or to scan a QR code for an instant transfert. So not sure of the point of google-wallet.
But I am still one of the old one to carry a wallet/card with me
Are you a member of a tenant union, is that even a thing in your country ? When you’re dealing with an individual landlord, a “strongly worded letter” or a “I’ve been doing my part” is enough to get somewhere. With corporation having a huge team it doesn’t work, you need the legal power of a collective.
At this point, the best thing to do is to write down to politician and make-sure they implement some form of “rent control” and other tenant protection laws
Who the hell doesn’t use adblock ? Seriously, it’s been at least 20 years that it’s necessary to browse the web.
Some people like Lemmy admin’s and other fediverse people try to rebuild a free internet where it’s not needed. But unfortunately, in most of the web it’s necessary. Your friend is doing a political statement about adblock there is nothing wrong in not agreeing with right wing people
Free software is free for everyone, and innocent until proven guilty.
Right wing people want to have reasonable discussion on their space? Fine. I am not forced to talk with them, but they can provide interesting contribution to the debate, we lack them on the fedi. Far right people want a platform for non moderated hate speech. (Luckily, I live in a place with hate speech laws) at the point it spreads over the fedi . I would move to an instance not federating them.
That’s the cool part of the federation, just like most Masto instance do not federate with instance posting child porn, you can get rid of neo Nazi by not federating them
It’s actually one of thing which made my brain connect the dots and realize how widespread it was.
Monetize the data.
Reddit is sitting on a huge pile of gold, the user aren’t happy, fine, but they still have their data
There is no Lemmy but that guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbvWn1EY6g and he came back from the dead to give us Lemmy
Don’t forget to make a donation to your instance if you love it. For most of us it’s a bit early but I give my 10 EUR per year to my Mastodon admin. Also, if you can choose instance ran by a non profit rather than a person as it ease the whole donation mechanism and give you the right to check where your membership due go.
Just like on that other website starting by r where nobody let an e-mail address at subscription you’re screwed. On the other hand, on that famous website people had like 3-4 alt account and where deleting their account all the time., so not that of a big deal
But indeed, with the ongoing password hell So choose a password, with 10 character, one number, one capital, and soon one emoji it’s getting very easy to forget if you don’t use a password manager.
Great idea, r/guitar never reached it’s true potential with a lack of clear direction target, I hope that one will work better
This video applies to Mastodon, but Lemmy is also using the activity pub protocol https://40two.tube/w/8a203465-b443-44bb-90a5-7cf5d941899a So in the principle it should be relatively similar
I have the impression that a place like beehaw is defederating so much, that in the end they’ll be on their own.
I don’t need an e-mail to use reddit, it would be a pitty to need one on the alternative.
