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

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

“You will love the cloud and we will sell everything you upload to it. You won’t own your data, OS or hardware when we are done.”

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!

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

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

Nope. I’m here to tell you this is a lie and we need more oil. This post is sponsored by ExxonMobile, the producer of the loveliest sludge destroying your planet and future!

I’ve seen footage!

I’ve noticed that; I don’t know why, but recently the stores by me only have it every third time I go.

It’s not “fancy,” but Old Granddad’s Bottled In Bond is delicious. It’s just a very good, rye heavy bourbon.

Okay so a cursory reading of Wikipedia (yeah I know, not the most credible) shows that you are correct about him being one of the key players in starting the online bank X.com with Peter Thiel and crew.

I concede that point! My apologies for casting aspersions.

Close!

He doesn’t come up with anything. He just got lucky buying into other people’s companies based on their ideas.

I’m sorry, I know this is off-topic, but you mentioned the cyber truck…

…have you seen how ugly and stupid the cyber truck looks? It looks nothing like it’s primo materials; it’s just an ugly stainless steel slab. It’s laughable.
