What does their multi-device story look like? Can I use one identity/account on multiple devices, with synced read state etc?
Edit: Looks like it's being worked on. I don't want to use a messenger without this feature anymore, but I'll give SimpleX another look once it's done.
I don't think there is anything to be concerned about.
Sublinks will live alongside Lemmy, just like kbin does today. Some Lemmy instances might switch to it under the hood at some point, but as a user you probably woudn't even notice the change. All the data would be preserved, so your community would still be there unchanged.
It is basically Lemmy written in a different programming language, with more focus on moderation tools afaik. So for users it looks and works just like any other Lemmy instance does, and it's part of the same Threadi-/Fediverse.
The ad blocking on desktop doesn't really work very well in my experience (long loading times, shows ads anyway, ...). What has improved the experience for me tremendously is using an extension that automatically mutes ads.
I use Synology C2 backup for my NAS, but they also have very affordable options for PC backups and object storage.
Please try to request the source code with that screenshot!
But M$ likes to play games with you!
I'll repeat what I said the last time this was posted: NO f*cking way the Fedora guy got past the partition configuration step without pulling at least a few hairs out! I love Fedora, but that UI is just cursed!
Depends on how you define stealing.
If you say it's taking something away from the original owner then you're right, but if you say it's not paying your share of the costs of a good you're using then you're wrong. E.g. if you go to a concert and don't pay the entrance fee then the concert will probably still happen, but you're not reimbursing the artists and crew for their costs and effort.
They don't have to make extra apps, just remove restrictions that make some functionality exclusive to iPhones or Apple Watches. So iPhones get the same access to Apple Watches as other phones, and Apple Watches get the same access to iPhones as other watches.
It's planned to be 100% API compatible with Lemmy, so you'd be able to use any Lemmy-UI with it. IDK why LW or any other instance would change their default UI.
A lot of things are not final and may change, but let's just start with their stated goals, instead of speculating about all the things that could theoretically happen.
