Also … dynamic changing them after my wallpaper rotation every 10 minutes, based on the colorpalette of the background photo … while we’re at it.

Oh … that feels like a relieve …

Cancelled them after wild goosechasing their content:

• Me: Lets rewatch the last season of West World.
• HBO Max: We offloaded that content to Hulu.
• Me: ?!?!? So you dont stream your own premium quality content? Why and which content-manager had that brain-dead idea? Never mind I will check Hulu.
• Hulu: Sorry mate we dont stream to you country (in the EU) and we will be part of Disney!
• Disney: We are glad to bring Hulu into the fold. Check all this new content!
• Me: OK Disney, give me West World on Hulu.
• Disney: Sorry, not that content, can I interest you in some live action fairytale?
• Me … I give up.

You asked why and I gave an explanation where the 27 downvotes came from. So I think there is some agreement within this lemmy about being offtopic.

If that bothers you too much I suggest focusing on something more productive, as I will do.

Not selfhosting AND privacy.

From the sidebar of this lemmy:

“A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.”

So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.

Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.

Better lemmy would be https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy

Nothing to do with selfhosting

No-code goes further then the “configuration” level and its features are very generic, to make endless use cases possible.

Naming things is hard. But if you have a better category name to distinguish from classic cms software I am all ears.

And yes no-code software itself is written with code.

But I dont mind having a name for software in which

• you can add and manage workflows
• you can define tables/data/attributes and views
• that are not scoped to specific use cases up front
• query and scripts are abstracted away by a friendy UI

I just see those foundation onboard / leaves from afar … but isnt the retention rate way to high to do actual foundational stuff?

I know it doesnt counter surveillance but for Android TV very happy with Projectivy Launcher.

No bombardment of ads for media to buy films music or episodes. Just quiet navigation.

I am dutch and spend many an hour at the intersection of IT and Privacy … but this is the wrong community to advertise a local Signal group.

For Android, Universal Debloater is your friend.

When developer mode is possible at least.

I work with a Grub boot for Win11 / Debian on the same disk (work provided laptop without the persuasion to change my employer MS-First policy) but one of the lucky ones I guess. No problem for 2 years now.

Only thing after a big Windows update it forgets its TPM Bitlocker key for its own partition. Must type it like once in 2 months manually.

Came for this one.

Immediately brought back memories of RSS and PubSubHubbub

Luckily this was about Snap.

Smartphone from employer doesnt permit sideloading. ;)

project’s donation funds for personal expenses, like holiday trips

I do have the same overall concerns though and for me enough reason to switch the moment its possible also. But I tend to see the ‘the holiday trips’ as a symtpom instead of a problem. Later on they explained that some developers received 3 months salary worth of pay over the course of 4 years. Putting a lot more time in it during those four years. If I contributed that much for free I also would spend it on a holiday. But the problem is like you said transparancy:

• No openness of financial transactions which I guess showing salary wouldnt be a problem and if everybody was able to see the salary was reasonable. (and I dont care what people do with it in their private live).
• Maybe they didnt organise it that way (paying oneself for labour and tell everyone) but maybe they used it directly for holidays etc, which is a problem for the business entity they have I guess. Like my boss paying my holiday instead of my salary.
• Reluctant to answer questions in reasonable timeframes (couple of months)
