XMR, Kaspa or LTC with mweb

Check trustpilot, Paypal is universally known to be a dis-functional piece of junk. People perma banned for no reason, scammers still using it without issue, transactions are a hit or miss, you need one account by country (if you happen to go overseas and have a bank account there). I used it like 4 times: paid for goods twice, received a salary, sent my wife some money during covid then we got both perma-banned with 0 reasons given.

(I didn’t want to name names so we will not have 79 levels of replies - “actually …” 🤣)

Yeah, there are massive projects that serve as a frontend to a subset of ffmpeg features.

cool, now I have to worry if coffee is hallal or not too

Did you read them? somebody is spreading fear for no reason. It almost feels like they want people to use something else.

I had the same thought and I don’t understand why you are being down-voted. All those “security issues” are a minor inconvenience at worst. I went through them twice and I am fine living with them in my publicly exposed instance (publicly just for myself and my wife wherever we are).

went there and down-voted everything

Yeah, in addition to the other million benefits. Like being much lighter, isn’t a giant spyware, decent scripting engine, covers all features that office has and more (it had PDF export way earlier), … My bachelor degree dissertation was in libreoffice in 2013. Since then, nobody can convince me to go back to Office.

Tell how chatgpt 2.0 isn’t enough to replace these people, save a lot of money since they are overpaid & rid society from scumbags? You don’t need to wait for chatgpt 17 to replace everyone else.

I agree with this. What would make people jump from an evil corporation abusing its users and creators to another evil corporation abusing its users and creators.

It s a good start ngl.

What about taking a different route altogether and not be greedy? what about charging a flat fee (your costs plus some profits to run the infrastructure like yearly or monthly). What about not being evil?

There is a huge business opportunity IMO to do just that. Have a store, charge a flat fee, add whatever percentage wire transfers take (1-3%). You make money, you out-compete everyone and you are the good guy.

I do agree. Maybe we could normalize having bots that duplicate the good posts from there and discuss them here. But yeah, it’s not so obvious how to measure a “good post”.

I remember the millionaire who wanted to prove that he could rebuild his wealth if he started from scratch again. He cheated a little bit because he used his friend apartment for free.

Fast forward, he gave up after a couple of months and understood what the rest of us knew for ages.

Wealthy people are delusional and no amount of reasoning will work with them.

To me it’s a feature and not a problem to have less people. I had more online human interaction in lemmy than I had anywhere else (except maybe facebook in early times). Look at Reddit now, good luck interacting with real genuine people. Everyone is shilling something and nobody is honest, plus the low quality posts count growing.

I saw some studies a few years ago on how people are less interested in traditional social media and more interested in instant messaging 1to1 and small group chats. Also something about how group chats become dead after they exceed a couple hundred members.

Just to say, I am more happy with the way things are in lemmy. I appreciate all aspects of Lemmy really.

You are not wrong. But there are things you can do to make a point. Make Reddit as a 2nd class citizen and drive people to lemmy, mastodon and the others. Like add posts with no comments, just relay bot, … Make it clear.

Same with GitHub, it’s mirror to my Gitea instance. You can see stuff but you have to move somewhere else to contribute and report issues. Not a terrible thing to use these proprietary services and yet make them 2nd class citizens.

I came here to say at least it’s not discord then I saw your comment. Yes, there s mattermost, matrix, IRC, … I am not installing Discord, I am not opening an account. I mean what s next? host your community in Skype?

I am curious why not docker? it s pretty convenient in my setup (docker compose + traefik). If I need to migrate it s really simple, if I am to nuke a service just bring it down and delete the path.
