This threads got lots of good answers, but I haven't seen it mentioned that snaps sometimes mean reduced functionality.

Use the docker snap? Sorry, it can only access your home directory so no -v /some/path:/somewhere for you

Use firefox or chromium and keepassxc? Sorry, your browser plugin won't be able to talk to your password manager

And the updates.... dear god. In whose mind was it a good idea to show a "firefox is updating, exit now to avoid issues" TWO WEEKS im advance. Closing the app does precisely fuck all unless you manually snap refresh it

Containerised applications are a fine idea, but snap is a horrible implementation of it

The Sun publishing sensationalist lies? Never...

I don't think Edwards has necessarily acted as one might hope - it sounds like he was less than pleasant - but the fact the Sun published despite the 'victim' having contacted them to deny it tells you all you need to know about how much The Scum has changed since Hillsborough.

The GPL requires that you do not put additional limits on a user's rights to redistribute.

Saying "you have the right, but we'll cut ties" isn't really in keeping with the spirit of that.

I suspect, if it ever ended up in court, they'd agree yhat there's no guarantee of access to future versions, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a shitty and cynical take that flies against what FOSS has traditionally stood for.

You definitely can.

You just need to login to reddit in a browser quickly and make a private subreddit.

Third party app and NSFW access restored: they seem to have excepted mods from the changes

Lemmy uses a SHA256 digest for its TOTP codes.

Basically every other service (and therefore most authenticator apps) use SHA1.

So although you provide the right secret, you get a different code because it's derived from a different hashing mechanism

If you're self hosting (i.e. running it for yourself, your family members and maybe some friends), your use would fall under GDPR's household exemption

does not apply to ... the processing of personal data by an individual in the course of a purely personal or household activity

Thats Article (2)(2)a.

Of course, if you're taking money or making it available to the general public it's a different matter.
