I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

I think it’s a mix of the two. There are legitimate reasons, and commercial reasons
Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world’s largest manufacturers.
They’re disabling features
Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.
What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.
What is the 48.4% for Reddit, since it isn’t decentralized at all?
I get comments on months old posts, I’m fine with it since it will help future users
If the person is looking for a discussion (ex. They need help with the software I posted about), then it’s usually better they make a new post
Note that there are two similar sounding products. A friend tried the plant balls and enjoyed them, but then bought the bag of vegetables balls to take home and was disappointed

While it’s still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of “open source AI” are better than others
The OSI one is decent
The format of the post also looked similar to spam posts at first glance. A lot of them are pushing AI things
While this won’t be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back
I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.
Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn’t really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I’ve made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get
This does happen with comments sometimes. I go into a post and someone has already eloquently said what I would have said (often better than I would have). So I upvote it and move along
The Hedge fund is not doing well unfortunately
Good to know, Pixelfed logins have consistently been buggy for me. I hope they improve that over time
Also posting to !offbeat@lemmy.ca. It’s a small community that others might like too
The user you are talking to is on lemmy.ca, which is a Canadian instance.
You are talking to another Canadian
I think it could work great on a dating profile. It’s unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking
Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption
It’s excellent! I think it has the potential to go the way of Blender and Krita, where it becomes the popular choice regardless of free / open source
Yes it’s hard to tell what they’re looking at, but I imagine the less info they can collect from your device the better?
I usually lookup ‘alternative frontends’ and then find a list like this on github type sites. They go out of date often

With the proxy websites, it’s more of an alternative frontend where you still need an account on the platform.
What might be happening is
So if you really need to use it and there’s no alternative, you could do one of
make the real account, ideally from a privacy friendly browser, and give the absolute minimum info you can. Name and email, no profile image, privacy settings to max
make an account on a new device / wifi network, and have it be believable for the kind of person joining Facebook for the first time. I haven’t tried this myself but I’ve heard it mentioned before
Whether you made an account or not, you can keep an eye out for alternatives. Over here there are a few alternatives, and one of them (Karrot) has been growing in popularity
It might enshitify at some point, but it’s been nice so far
Bulleted lists, a weird positive tone, unnecessarily professional, a summary or “but you should check with an authority figure” sentence at the end
