In the default Lemmy web UI, there's a report button (flag icon) in the messaging page, so it's not a problem with Lemmy in general.

The far right are well-practiced at co-opting and twisting concepts. It's classic doublespeak.

It's why you have "Christians" who are staunchly opposed to feeding the hungry, or treating the sick. (See: school lunches.)

It's why "capitalism" now represents the complete lack of meaningful competition, when that competition is the only thing that ever made capitalism worthwhile in the first place. (See: Microsoft getting away scot-free after being found guilty of illegal, anticompetitive business practices all throughout the 90s.)

It's why "free speech" proponents are laser-focused on creating new and terrifying mechanisms for censorship. (See: *gestures widely*)

I could go on.

It's sad how little resistance has been made against this corruption. How easily our natural allies have been turned into our greatest enemies.

Does it have access to the same filesystem as Android? I've been looking for Android apps that can do something like dropbox's "online only" feature. Most cloud storage providers offer that on desktop but I've never found one that works on Android. It's just photo syncing or nothing usually, and even that doesn't work like I want.

Also, can it run uninterrupted in the background or is android going to unceremoniously kill it randomly like it does with normal apps?

I don't see how it could possibly be unintentional. It's too bizarre.

If you're interested in other series, you might like Octopath Traveler. Each character has their own job, but as the game progresses you'll be able to switch each character's second job. So you can make the thief a thief/merchant or thief/cleric or whatever, and swap out that second job anytime you want, but they'll always have the thief abilities.

For instance, Mozilla said it may have removed blanket claims that it never sells user data because the legal definition of “sale of data” is now “broad and evolving,” Mozilla’s blog post stated.

Uh huh.

The company pointed to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as an example of why the language was changed, noting that the CCPA defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”

Yes. That's what "sale of data" means. Everybody understood that. That's exactly what we don't want you to do.

FYI, Graphene just released an update that includes the new network location option I mentioned. See https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114076777599414646

I'll try it and see how it works for me over the next week or two.

I wonder if the "never will" part is legally binding. Most companies bend over backwards to avoid making future-looking guarantees like that.

Question for those in the know: does it make sense to use LibreWolf if you don't want to operate in private browsing by default? In my primary browser, I want my logins and settings and browser history to persist.

I've always heard that as one of the big differentiating features of LibreWolf, but I've never really played around with it. Can you change those settings, and if you do, is it any different from stock Firefox at that point?

Considering how poorly their Switch games perform, this is probably the best-case scenario. Perhaps they can make a Switch game that will run decently on the Switch 2.

Hmm. According to Wikipedia you are correct, and the original SEQUEL was simply renamed to SQL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL#History

I'm not sure how much that original SEQUEL/SQL has in common with later publicly-available SQL implementations. I never personally worked with SEQUEL but I was under the impression it was more of a spiritual predecessor to SQL than a direct ancestor. But I trust Wikipedia more than I trust my my memory here, so I guess I was wrong.

Something like that, yes. More info at https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/431329/what-is-the-correct-pronunciation-of-sqlite with links to videos of Richard Hipp (creator of SQLite) pronouncing it.

I actually couldn't find a section on pronunciation in the official FAQ, though I think it was there in the past. Still, they do use phrases such as "an SQLite database", indicating that "SQLite" starts with a vowel sound.
