Where could I follow up on this story?

Maybe Go, haven't messed with it at all and it looks interesting enough to try. Other than that I could do C#, since that's where I have most experience. Maybe node.js if I would want to suffer a bit.

Dunno, it's fine for me. As a messenging app it moslty gets out of my way and lets me communicate. It has all of the important functionality and creature comforts. Also, it already has some bloat (stories, whatever that crypto payment thing was/is). And the UI / UX is perfectly fine as is.

Although, as a dev myself, I hate UX work, it's just boring and unfulfilling. I get why UX is often an afterthought. First it has to be functional, anything beyond that is secondary.

I'm pretty much the same. Although my e-reader supports generic epub files, so I go to whichever book shop site and look for ebooks.

When I bought my e-reader, I specifically looked for one that wouldn't lock me into their ecosystem too much.

I've been using Kobo Libra 2 for more than a year now. It's good for me as I mostly read books. It's black and white and has adjustable (intensity and temperature) backlight. One thing I'd recomend – get a case as well. The screen is rather soft and scraches easily.

Other than that I can't recomend much else since I haven't had anything else. It'll depend very much on your use case: do you need a collored screen, what do you intend to read, comics, PDFs, regular books.

Reading regular books screen size does not matter as much as for PDFs and comics. And for comics colored screen might be a better choise.

My general recomendation: an adjustable backlight is a must, both intensity and temperature, deside on a size and color requirements and start looking for something in your price range. Kobo and Onyx were the brands I looked at first, but there are others.

So there is a thing I kind of pirate, but not entirely – e-books.

But thing is, our public library page has e-books and some of them are available to be read online. Now I cannot officially download them, however opening a network tab on browser console shows me a request to download the whole .epub file. So what I do is copy that request as curl and just download it via terminal.

Is it piracy, probably, is this resource publicly available for me to read, definetly yes.

Other than that I don't really pirate much else.

Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still fuction?

Transferring /home directory without reinstalling Linux?

I would say yes and yes.

Best way to partition my / and /home directories?

While I didn't do it on Fedora with KDE, I did it on Ubuntu GNOME. I can't imagine the process being much different. You basically just need to set up a partition, mount it on /home and copy the files, after all /home directory is nothing special, it just contains files.

Now my setup involved setting up an encrypted partition and then mapping it via LVM. Your milage may wary, but the process should be rather straigthforward with some google'ing and messing around.

I mean technical problems require technical knowledge. I don't see how this is that much different from adding a drive to a Windows system and then having to format it so that it works properly.

    What you're describing is an issue with all of social media. While your concerns are valid, I don't see your arguments as privacy issue. I honestly prefer post and comment history being transparent and accessible. It's much like Reddit and this format fits much better with an open forum style of platform.

    Don't post private information and it's a non-issue.

    Also, can't you just delete posts and comments like on Reddit?

    mr_satan ,
    @mr_satan@monyet.cc avatar

    How would you ensure other instances are not sharing your content?

    To me this seems to be a question of ideology. I came here from Reddit because this is an open forum with transparent history.

    Federetion by design ensures that accessibility (as far as I understand, correct me if I'm wrong). This design principle to me is the core. If that seems like an issue maybe this style of social media is not for you.

    mr_satan ,
    @mr_satan@monyet.cc avatar

    Oh, I see

    mr_satan ,
    @mr_satan@monyet.cc avatar

    Makes sense, when I think about it

    mr_satan ,
    @mr_satan@monyet.cc avatar

    In this context, it's an open public digital space. Noone is obligated share anything.

    The part that is discussed as a privacy issue is a design element. It is by design post are visible to everyone, it is by design that comments are visible to everyone.

    How is it a privacy issue when the user desides what to post for everyone to see?

    If you are looking for a different design ideology then maybe you need a different social media platform.

    mr_satan ,

    I've never been on Twitter. Besides Reddit I really disliked all other main platforms. So answering your question: I don't care, it's a different platform for different style of social media interactions.

    the Internet is forever

    My position has nothing to do with this sentiment. Internet forgets, and often.

    I like federated nature of Lemmy, I like that there is no "private" accounts. This is a feature not a bug.

    I'm not trying to argue against privacy, but what you are describing isn't a privacy issue or an issue at all. It's a design element. And it's this design is why I like it here.

    As someone here has said, at some point the responsibility has to fall on the user. You don't need to share anything. As long as the nature of the platform is clear (and it's a separate discussion) the is no issue to be fixed.

    If to you that is seems as an issue, well then maybe you are at the wrong place. And if the platform changes in the direction I don't agree, I will leave.

    mr_satan ,
    @mr_satan@monyet.cc avatar

    How is this conflicting? You are a private person same as I, I don't know who you are, you don't know who I am.

    How is selective hiding of post and comments privacy?

    If you don't want it to be seen – don't post it.

    mr_satan ,
    @mr_satan@monyet.cc avatar

    And that is the different premise for the social network.

    You do have the equivalent choice here.

    If you want Facebook, go to Facebook. It's not worse or better it's different.

    Well Facebook is worse, but the reasons are corporate not design issues (it's more complicated than that, but that's beyond the point).

    Chromium has a mirror on GitHub and it’s fine. While it feels a little strange to have just one mirror (on GitHub), after moving to git entirely, nobody is stopping to them from hosting a GitLab mirror.
