I think they are referring to the point that you want your personal votes to be kept private. Some say it is a form of "cowardice" to not vote publicly.

Personally I see your point is very valid and at least this should be more actively described when signing up for Lemmy and that obviously your instance admins can see everything and you should be very careful (e.g. VPN) if you'd like to participate privately in a conversation. Maybe this is not the right platform for you then ufortunately. Everything in life has its pros and cons and certainly Lemmy is not perfect.

Not sure why u only mention iMessage, but it also works fine in Signal and other messaging apps 👌

that is how I started 6 months ago, but then I noticed how awfully outdated all the packages are. As I wanted to use it for gaming I'd like to have the latest drivers and latest Steam, and a modern wayland window manager etc. which is why I am now on Fedora and am very happy so far. Good luck on your journey.

I agree but it's still in an early development state. Not really usable for everyday work let alone most people never heard about it 😅 But yeah still cool to mention it under "modern" browsers. I wish them good luck with the first alpha next year. I hope it'll be successful.

I have Pixeld Android 16 and there I can still diasable every pre-installed app directly in the app settings. Also you could just go to the "open by default" settings of the app an set it to back to "browser" this way yt videos you click will not open the app anymore but the browser.

I think when you disable yt you can even got to the NewPipe app settings and enbaled it to be opened by default for each yt link and many more are supported by the app.

Also the youtube app is very usable with premium obviously. So in case you want to try it out but want it cheaper you could try the vpn trick an buy premium from a "low cost" country. Unfortunately google is fighting is actively and for most countries you'd need a credit card from that country. However Poland still worked for me for example and it't still almost half the price therr.

luckily u didn't suggest to cut the cheese 😅 cheese is life, I can eat less beef but not my cheeeeeese 🙃

I mean ladybird certainly would be lowest tier, considering you first have to compile yourself 😂 also it's pre alpha state...

But it'll be interesting to see how far they've come on 1 year

Well actually: "It was originally an initialism used in U.S. Army paperwork for items made of galvanized iron.[2] The earliest known instance in writing is from either 1906[3] or 1907.[2]" Also later on re-interpreted as "government issued" etc. but I guess today it just means US army soldier
