I’ve lived in a couple of apartments in Norway where they had a genius solution to the problems you mention (except the jet engine sound): it sends all odours to your NEIGHBOURS who have their kitchen right above or below yours 😎

(warning:it works both ways. So if your neighbours are cooking you better turn it on, and you better set it to superjet mode, because the strongest decides where the odours go.)

Sorry everyone but you’re all missing the obvious. You see that APPARENTLY there’s no WC in the bathroom? Well there you go. When you’re done, close the door, and it’s nicely mimetized as a drying cabinet 😎

This is an interesting take. Could you share some resources or links to follow this line of reasoning more in detail? Especially resources that are somewhat “noob-friendly”. Cheers.

I said 'fuck you" to Slack for similar reasons. Going to same the same to Discord now.

Thank you for finding this gem!

Absolutely, don’t take my post too literally as I’m not very acquainted with the Fediverse yet :)

Thank you for the update!

I see, I didn’t know about that, thank you. May I ask: is the instance where the community is hosted that should do this, or the instance(s) of the subscribers?

Please feel free to delete my post if it’s pointless then!

Great info especially about the movie, thank you! would have missed that.

The shadows are wrong too. The people at the front seem to have a strong light source from their left (but not all angles are correct); the ones at the back, from ahead of them.

Had never heard of this show before, but from what I read in all these comments it’ll be enjoyable - thank you everyone!

Culturally we’re going back to the Middle Ages…

As Netflix and producers of toilet paper know well, people in the end are happy to pay for things they like or need. But Google and its like have discovered that instead of selling stuff to me, it’s much more profitable to sell me to others.

No thanks.

Indeed, that was my thought!

Oh, I didn’t know about the drama and TB-team connection.

Thank you, I didn’t know about EDRi, which EFF refers to!

Hey @MaxPower@feddit.de @Blizzard@lemmy.zip @anteaters@feddit.de @cwagner@lemmy.cwagner.me @DavidGarcia@feddit.nl @tal@kbin.social @perviouslyiner@lemm.ee @Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org @JamesWords@lemmy.nz @library_napper@monyet.cc @grue@lemmy.ml @p0ppe@lemmy.world @DJKayDawg@lemmy.world @neuromancer@lemmy.world @RobotToaster@infosec.pub @t0lo@lemmy.world @finder@sopuli.xyz

THANK YOU so much for all the very useful links. I understand what @cwagner is saying, it makes sense. I’ll look at some organizations in Europe and Northern Europe.

What I hope is that these organization maintain an active dialogue. It’s true that laws and political situations change a lot from country to country, but it’s always helpful to exchange ideas and have support, even if just moral support, from other countries.

I hope people will keep on posting relevant links and foundations.

I tried "Better"bird for around a month, a year or so ago. Until I hit a bug and submitted a bug report and got this reply:

That’s best reported as a Thunderbird issue with exact steps to reproduce.

and later this:

As a first step, we suggest to install the current ESR 91 version of Thunderbird in parallel and see whether the issue exists there.

I personally don’t see what’s the point of using an email client, if it refers to another email client for submission of some bugs, or if it asks you to install another email client to solve them. I told them and they explained that they’re a small team and that

BB is a TB downstream project (fork) and we cannot possibly fix all 14.000 upstream issues.

The turning-point for me was that they simply closed my bug report and, when I told them that that was a let-down, they said:

Users like yourself, who refuse to cooperate or support the project via a donation, are a total let-down indeed, especially if they feel entitled to get a fix.

which was unfair because I do recurring donations to all software I use regularly. But OK, I can simply donate directly to Thunderbird and use that directly.

So I went back to Thunderbird and have been using it without problems since then; they fixed that and other bugs in the meantime. Thunderbird supports all major forms of authentication from what I’ve seen, so I use it for my work account and other free accounts, all in one.

Mozilla:

Mozilla opposes this proposal…

I wish they took a stronger stance like Brave:

We won’t be shipping WEI support

C’mon Mozilla, show some gonads.

Thank you ALL for the great advice and guides! I’m writing from behind a laptop firewall now, and don’t notice anything :) It was smoother than I expected. In the end I used UFW because it was already installed, but I’ll take a look at firewalld too in some days! I don’t have any incoming ssh connections (not a server), so I didn’t need to worry about that :)

Really great people here at Lemmy :)
