This is or was part of their anti-spam/flooding protection.

That’s the official explanation. A phone number is a nice way to attach a real world identity to the data (which of course is sold to advertisers/data brokers etc).

It’s all Fediverse. You can follow things on lemmy on mastodon and vice versa and so on.

Not the same thing. With session saving I don’t have configure anything.

KDE + wayland on Tumbleweed gave me this experience.

Wayland has at least one deal breaker for me. It doesn’t remember where my windows were at logout when saving the session. I have six virtual desktops and have specific windows in certain desktops. Putting everything back where they belong after each login, no thank you. Until they add that I’ll stick to X11.

X11 can be easily forwarded over ssh. You do need to have at least the application you want to forward installed on RPI, possibly X11 as well. You also need a X11 server on the other side.

On a related note. Why would creators add sponsored segments/other sponsoring/patreon etc if YT pays them enough?

Even youtube doesn’t pay the creators that much. Lois Rossman in a recent video showed some of his video in YT that had over 200k views and generated ~100 USD of income.

Nebula pays creators, and you pay to Nebula.

Even university students studying computer science don’t have this basic knowledge anymore.

It’s good to keep pounding this info to normies. Maybe they’ll understand one day.

Java is baxkbone of modern web app and a privacy and security nightmare.

JavaScript. Two very different things. Though Java can also be as it’s used in backend quite a lot.

they emulate just the OS

Containers don’t emulate anything. They have an OS installed within them. Typically you use Alpine Linux which super minimalistic and lightweight.

Doesn’t have a significant impact. Using Telegram (though third party OSS client called Forkgram) and Signal without Play services on pixel as well.

New year’s Magic :D. This community in not that active so it was still on the first page of posts.

Been using Fastmail for like 10 years and their service has been superb. Planning to move to a provider within the EU. Probably Mailbox as Tuta doesn’t, at the moment, have a move your stuff from a previous provider service.

In no particular order: Fastmail, Tutanota, Mailbox, Proton mail.

If you also enjoy Diablo there’s a mod for Grim Dawn: https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/mod-reign-of-terror/35347.

Great game. They also update it regularly with new content for free. There’s a new paid expansion coming soon.

Edit: Currently have played it for 740h.

Enabling DoH with max protection probably solves that.
