I absolutely disagree about all fediverse devs being problematic. @ernest is the dev of KBin, and everything I've seen of or about him shows he's a good person and a gem.
Also, there's a vast difference between being a bit of an asshole sometimes, depending on your point of view (like Linus Torvalds), and trying to justify genocide (lemmy devs).
To head off potential misunderstandings. The "disabling it permanently" in the post meant something like somehow replacing the function with a noop so even if it gets reactivated, it wouldn't do anything anymore.
And by "deactivating Adaptive Brightness" I didn't mean just manually changing brightness and then being annoyed when it adapts again. I mean going into the Settings and disabling it, but somehow it gets reenabled randomly.
Nope. But my problem isn't that disabling it again is too bothersome. It's that even if I go into Settings->Display and turn off Adaptive Brightness, it turns on again without asking on its own randomly while I'm using my phone.
Protonmail accounts are free. Just make one and use it for bug report signups.
I just blocked the entire instance. Does that not work in lemmy?
Apparently Elon has a thing for the letter X. SpaceX, naming his son "X Æ A-12", and now renaming Twitter.
That's giving him way too much credit. More like an Austin Powers villain, and even that is questionable.
Just my first uninformed guess at how long you might take 😉
I managed to get my immediate family (and my sister's husband) onto Threema, the extended family is on Whatsapp with zero chance of switching away.
On the other hand, one cousin's husband can't stop spamming the group chat with pics of their daughters. Not just "special event, here's a pic of each at their best" or whatever, but multiple. fotos. daily., sometimes videos too... As a consequence, I've permanently muted that whatsapp group and only occasionally take a peek at it.
lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml are run by them, the former is explictly a tankie haven. While lemmy.ml is supposed to be a general lemmy instance, the admins (which are the same as lemmygrad's) have spoken in favor of genocide and removed posts on lemmy.ml that are critical of the CCP, especially in regards to the treatment of the Uyghurs.
Most instances have defederated lemmygrad, some have defederated lemmy.ml as well.
