Yeah people act like it’s so easy to get a virus but if you’re even remotely competent it’s pretty easy to avoid

Fancy copy-paste bot go brrrrr

As if we needed further proof that that man is a lunatic and a moron.

Genuine question: what alternative would you recommend? I was planning on buying a few for various projects next month with my next paycheck but now I’m not too keen on funding them.

I can’t wait to have to pay a subscription fee for some aspect of it.

No their ads told me they’re the heroic guardians of my privacy.

This is the type of high-brow conversation that keeps me on Lemmy.

“You will love the cloud and we will sell everything you upload to it. You won’t own your data, OS or hardware when we are done.”

And that’s how Twitter was born

I’m gonna third AMG! It’s one of the few review sites that I think has consistently good reviews of a decently wide array of metal. And I’m not just saying that because I agree with them…I’m saying that because they introduced me to Blood Incantation. Which anyone unfamiliar should absolutely give a listen!

That is an absolutely incredible description. Gonna queue it up after work!

That’s what everyone I know who sees them live says! I’ve never managed to get into them, but maybe I need to give them another try. Any recommendations on where to start?

Mastodon managed to just confuse the hell out of me before boring me. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I was never on Twitter. It may be me, not the platform/concept.

Poo poo!

If you make them, he will cum

…that has no bearing on the fact that they’re both bad policy as measured by their impact on this country.

I believe he ruined any such claim with his work on criminal justice legislation long before he endorsed genocide of a captive population.

Yep! As the other commenter who replies to you said, it definitely can. You don’t even have to selfhost it; the app’s developer hosts a cloud sync server you can pay for thays dirt cheap. You can also sync notes without the cloud server. There are a lot of ways you can use it without having to get into the technical aspect of it!

I boost Joplin on here every chance I get, so please allow me to do so again now! I run it with my own sync server and a small userbase of about 6 people on a cheap VPS. I could not be happier; between the webclipper, sharing, encryption, embedding of pdfs, photos, even mp4s, ease of selfhosting, it’s an amazing project! It’s been (knock on wood) rock solid!

No offense, but is this move motivated by a true need to move ASAP? Because this doesn’t really read like it was written by someone in their thirties. Frankly, if it’s not a true need, it doesn’t seem from this post that you’re in a financial position to do this on anything close to a safe manner. And thus: if this is just a desire, no matter how strong the impulse is, it sounds like you need to wait.

I am not trying to be patronizing or condescending: I would just hate to see someone put themselves at the mercy of the world like it seems you may be about to.
