how are you only getting 1% battery drain overnight? my pixel 7 w grapheneos drains 10% overnight and battery saver makes it worse somehow

I would like to know your secrets

the fediverse largely prides itself on no tracking, in fact in the past instances that used cloudflare have been harshly criticised.

This is against the fediverse’s core values

what if one wants accounts on say, 3 mastodon servers (one personal, one public, one backup, this is entirely reasonable, but many have more reasons for making separate accounts) and then wants a separate Lemmy account or two, because they prefer the Lemmy interface for specifically that. Or maybe someone wants to separate their work and personal life in addition. Or! They’re a minority and have specific reasons to separate their accounts. Or they’re an artist and want a separate art account

and then other fediverse software comes along that interacts completely differently than content aggregation (Lemmy) or microblogging (mastodon etc). Neither federates properly yet and wont for a while, so guess what, another account

you see how this doesn’t work? it has nothing to do with amassing wealth or voting manipulation as this is a problem across fedi (and voting isnt even a thing outside of Lemmy etc) and more to do with accessibility There are valid reasons to have several accounts to the fediverse, and it goes against the spirit of the fediverse to stop that.

browser fingerprinting is inherently bad for privacy and would require scripts that nobody wants to run

not to mention the GDPR issues with servers having that amount of data

most of my friends (and me myself) have far more than 3 accounts. Many instances I’ve been on have died, leading to me having to move and my old account on dead instances still being in databases. That said, even without that, I have far more than 3 active accounts

sure we dont have hundreds or thousands like spammers would but putting an arbetrary number on “amount of accounts an IP can have” is against what the fediverse is

yes, using spectacle I imagine

I use different software, apparently that matters

thanks!

I will be forced to, but x11 is no longer being developed, so its not very secure to do so

additionally, Wayland is going to be default on kde, and Im not sure if that means that it’ll be default for me too if I update

not to mention that with it default on KDE, I’ll be running into more and more bugs that just, will not be fixed, because “use Wayland” will be the new response to bug reports (GNOME actively does this with a critical GTK4/libadwaita bug)

the point is, Wayland is being rushed and was never ready for default

this worked wonders for me

then bullet journals lost its “new” factor and now its dusting in the corner w all the other calendars, organisers, diaries and notebooks I tried to start

this one hits hard

still frustrating as all hell, these programs just worked on x11

also Synergy/Barrier/etc dont work yet and would need “non standard” protocols. Pretty critical for me

I am an enduser and I just expect things to work, but one of the most critical things of my setup wont

sighh, that sucks

does this go for pretty much all programs, like say an email client too? or is there a limit to this?

wait so you’re telling me I’m gonna be forced to use spectacle on wayland if I use KDE?

I’m told screenshots now work on wayland. The idea was that spectacle would not have worked on wayland because of how locked down it is

that’s something

I’ve heard that synergy/barrier/etc doesn’t work though and that is critical for my daily workflow so I won’t be switching until it is supported

oh I see you’re that kinda person

No means no

can you not do this? lets keep this disingenuous behavior over on reddit

no its not, consent is important

I do not consent to having my bodily waste be enjoyed by my toilet

Every time I learn more about what Wayland can’t do, I learn of even more critical stuff that doesn’t work

no screenshots? really? who approved this trashfire as default. That’s about as ridiculous as no global hotkeys
