Is there a single instance that allows using apps, other than the api test instance? PieFed is a good idea for desktop, but the mobile website is cumbersome to use.
I signed up with piefed.au several months ago now, but every time I try, I’m getting error 400 “alpha api not enabled”.

I love it on infosec.pub, doesn’t defederate from most instances unless they are particularly hostile, doesn’t censor in itself, and hosts mostly tech/nerd communities.
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 day ago:
Xubuntu is stable, lightweight, easy to install, and requires no tinkering. No idea about gaming, but I’d choose it over Debian and PopOS at any given time.

Fuck this shit.
- Comment on YSK you can permanently hide entire domains from your search results with DuckDuckGo/Google/other engines through this user script 1 week ago:
It’s a separate thing, open source and actively developed. You can either get it from github or directly for Firefox here: addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/…/ublacklist/, that way you’ll get automatic updates as well.
- Comment on US Border Patrol detained a nursing mother and separated her from her infant daughter to the point that she needed medical attention as a result of not being able to nurse 1 week ago:
The US is a no travel zone for me, on par with Russia.
- Comment on BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered 1 week ago:
He was until 2021 and stepped down to avoid a conflict of interest. Don’t spread rumors.

My wife is Chinese and we put copious amounts on almost all dishes, plain and raw. Never got any stomach problems - have you tried again to check if that was really the issue? Might have been another ingredient after all.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 1 week ago:
If I don’t want something, I give nothing. Most fundraisers are pure extortion, and I can’t be bothered to check if something is legit or lining someone’s pocket. “No” is a full sentence.
- Comment on Kneecap member charged with terror offence 2 weeks ago:
Nah, it’s the right thing to do. While the law was initially put in place to control nazi flags and other extremist display, using it to take down banners of banned terror organisations is justified.
Or how would you feel if your neighbor started flying an ISIS flag, for example?
- Comment on Putin’s dream of a state-controlled internet is becoming a reality 2 weeks ago:
Let’s see if they can pull it off. Russians are extremely well versed in tech, and quite a resilient bunch. And the internet had already arrived at peak maturity when they retired to fence it in, making it way harder than in China where they managed to contain everything before it was too widespread.

Yeah because people love to be forced out of their homes. Does the amount of money really matter? It’s gentrification, plain and simple.
- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 2 weeks ago:
I’m not so sure about that, they studied Starbucks’ quasi-monopoly for quite some time and then decided to beat them with better coffee.
So at least they had a plan, unlike KFC with their “me too” approach. That stuff is so bad I’ll rather risk headaches on a 10h flight than to refuel with that garbage.
- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 2 weeks ago:
McDonald’s coffee is much better than Starbucks. Still not great, but better.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 weeks ago:
My assumption would be that the display is not related to operating the elevator, but rather displaying information about businesses on the respective floors. I’ve seen those a fair few times, and since they run on isolated networks or even fully local, there’s little risk.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The issue is that the USD is the main trade currency in the world, and all transactions in USD need to be cleared by banks in the US. Since Cuba is banned from trading in USD, they need to trade directly in their import/export partners home currency, which exposes them to additional currency fluctuations, and complicates the whole settlement process.

That doesn’t mean he can afford the taxes?
If you buy an affordable house somewhere and external developments drive the price up, it doesn’t mean that you magically have the means to afford paying 5x as much for something you already own.

Oh nice, maybe it’s time to switch after all. It’s been a pending feature on Sync since forever.

All it takes is claiming to have moved to the EU.

I switched to outlook in browser only because their native windows software is so terrible. Wish I could leave that shit OS entirely.

As good as it gets, if you can’t get around using Windows.

Unfortunately that requires a full reinstall, I wish there was a way to upgrade from 10 pro to 10 enterprise.

Yep, agree. Heat Signature was also fun, but getting rather repetitive.

- Comment on Is there any lemmy instance that's truly liberal enough to tolerate a completely divergent point of view ? The EU norms are not for me, and I'm also far far away from the MAGA politics of USA !!! 5 weeks ago:
Yes. And what exactly does that have to do with my question?
