China does everything better than the US. iPhones are made in China.

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?

Yep, this is the explanation. People are still trying to rationalize "why do this in months, its all gonna collapse!" not understanding that collapse is the actual point.

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.

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.

Doesn't Migadu work for calendars? Its a bit finicky, but I used these instructions and it worked for me.

Not sure about contacts though.

[–] Pirata@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Wow. They offer that? Do you know how it works?

[–] Pirata@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Good alternative? Hum, I'll have to disagree with you there.

Firstly, Heliboard it is closer to Gboard than to FUTO, which is closer to Swiftkey. Its actually the reason why I went with FUTO, I need that split keyboard.

Secondly, prediction on Heliboard is just not there. Like, at all. It was absolutely maddening to use, it would predict completely unrelated words even when using custom libraries.

And it actually got worse over time because it started saving nonsense words like "GRT" or "hafe" directly onto my personal dictionary. At one point all I would get was nonsense word after nonsense word. I had to abandon it, it was borderline unusable after a certain point.

Like the commenter above, I too want to sponsor FOSS projects as much as possible, but the offers simply aren't quite there yet.

What issues have you found with FUTO? I'm using it RN and beyond Swype being kinda finicky, it works flawlessly.

But yeah, not FOSS. The FOSS keyboard alternatives are indeed atrocious, especially Florisboard which oddly enough seems to be GrapheneOS's favourite option for a future standard keyboard.

Disable DMs? (lemm.ee)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by Pirata@lemm.ee to c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
 

Is there a way to disable DMs? I keep being spammed by users from an instance called sh.itjust.works promoting some weird out-of-platform personal profiles.

They usually send this stuff and then immediately seem to get banned, but I still see their stuff since images are displayed by default. Seems like a big oversight to allow this.

Is there a way to block receiving DMs? Or at least have some sort of Accept/Decline dm feature like on Reddit?
