For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:
What could Russia do today, to cement themselves as the ultimate oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for the rest of the people of their country, that the US isn’t already doing?
Have you tried talking to customer support? I hear they are quite responsive.
I 100% agree. Whenever these companies start with their own projects I immediately get suspicious that their goal is to enshittify down the line with vendor lock-in.
The only reasons why I’m seriously considering a Tuxedo are 1. European brand and 2. Double SSD.
Not a lot of laptops seem to be offering double SSD while being Linux compatible, so my hands are kinda tied.
When was it the last time a Christian did that? Other than JWs who have stopped knocking on doors like 9 years ago.
Btw, I’ve 100% had Hare Krishna’s and other “better yourself” religions bothering me for money. And christianity is a “better yourself” type of religion, too.
There’s so much wrong with your comment that really, all the downvotes you are getting are totally warranted.
Nice. Cheers!!
Understood 🫡 thanks for that. I am generally happy with IONOS however their DNS propagation seems to take forever. I have a new domain I bought a couple days ago and my email provider’s DNS still hasn’t propagated… I thought we were past the 72h propagation era, but I guess not with everyone.
Does their final price already include WHOIS protection?
Hey!
For storage/note taking I use Filen.io (German), pretty cool and affordable. Have no complaints, and they have a Linux native app also.
I found OVH quite confusing. Do they upsell you like crazy (e.g. is WHOIS protection an upsell)? I don’t want to create an account on purpose just to find out.
Its also what you use if you want to have your domain stolen, apparently.
I have a different view.
Have all governments move straight to FOSS federated platforms, so that the billionaire that caused this exodus (Musk) is eaten alive by other billionaires so that they learn that when they fk up, the entire billionaire class loses revenue. So they can experience some class infighting for once instead of laughing all the way to their pedo orgy islands.
If one billionaire’s F*ck up leads to another billionaire’s increase in fortune (Bluesky), then all you’re rewarding is them to keep doing what they do with their manufactured “competition” BS.
There’s no such thing as “target” and “non-target” billionaire, either. They all are targets so don’t let yourself get distracted.
Seriously. I’d be ashamed of being a Trump supporter and show my face in public. So embarrassing.
And even more so now that it’s pretty clear that he’s barely sentient and Musk is the actual poorly hidden shadow president.

Why? So the same thing can happen as with X? Jack Dorsey is yet another unhinged billionaire with problematic views of his own.
Federation is the only answer.
I understand your fears, I really do.
Its just… I don’t think we’re totally lost yet, thank God. I’m hoping people keep being somewhat aware that fascism is not the way, even if it’s being increasingly promoted on the internet.
Let us do our part as well. Keep boycotting the US, keep protesting against Israel and Russia in public. There is little else we can do, but these things are powerful on their own as long as we don’t lose momentum.
I’ve had few problems in the 7 years I have used them[…] one of which is not possible to get back since I’m required to provide proof that I live in Sweden […] Wasn’t the case when I initially bought it in 2018.
Sounds like a severe case of Stockholm syndrome to me. /s
Anyways, you do you buddy. I don’t trust them at all after those reviews. Especially when IONOS exists.
PS: kinda funny that a supposedly privacy-focused registrar demands an official document of your place of residence. Sounds like the promised privacy is just a gimmick (or, something that all registrars offer by default as long as you choose the WhoIS guard option).
I have never received a DM from another user on lemmy despite being more active than OP.
I’m not subscribed to many communities. Maybe linux and BuyEuropean and not much else.
I doubt that’s the reason for the spam.
All excellent recommendations too. Hats off to Proton!
Well, would you say Boost blocks images by default? Because Thunder (the front end I’m using) doesn’t.
Yeah, that’s what I’m concerned about. Getting random CSAM, or Gore, or some f’ed up stuff like that. Images should at the bare minimum come censored before clicking.
I didn’t even have the option to click any placeholders, it just automatically loads the whole thing (but maybe its just the front-end I’m using).
China does everything better than the US. iPhones are made in China.
