The McRib isn’t a limited thing here in Germany

We not out here putting burgers behind Limited Time Events 💀

Once. I thoroughly disliked it

Thing is, they’re not limited in Germany, I can get one whenever

and the mcrib isn’t even good ☠️

if you’re using the official web interface, it should work fine. Third-party apps are a different story

An official piped bot? interesting

I’m surprised, because other fediverse platforms already support adding Alt Text and Lemmy doesn’t seem to. (At least not in the UI?)

with embeds, e.g ![](example.com) you can put Alt-Text directly into the [] like: ![alt](example.com) and it should be recognized

So they only ended up implementing encryption-related parts of the protocol+server combo, like e.g Double-Ratchet or X3DH?

XMPP can indeed be used for some other things

For example, Google uses it to this day for Google Cloud Messaging - the push notifications service in Android.

Just the how is something I cannot answer :/

I will take any and all chances to shit on NFTs, no matter how many reply with “whoosh”

Privacy ≠ secrecy.

I like to quote this from privacyguides.org: "Much like the right to interracial marriage, woman’s suffrage, freedom of speech, and many others, our right to privacy hasn’t always been upheld. In several dictatorships, it still isn’t. Generations before ours fought for our right to privacy. Privacy is a human right, inherent to all of us, that we are entitled to (without discrimination).

You shouldn’t confuse privacy with secrecy. We know what happens in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That’s because you want privacy, not secrecy. Everyone has something to protect. Privacy is something that makes us human."

In that case whatever you’re using isn’t SMS.

SMS has never supported group chats, and as such you should double-check what you’re actually using to text with one another.

I find End-To-End-Encryption especially important, as it protects the things you say between you and others, so I advise you to double-check that

As a matter of fact, WhatsApp has been using the signal protocol since 2016.

well texting people is honestly worse, there is no encryption at all and features are stuck in the stone-ages

For exorbitant fees.

That messaging is one of two things:

1. Outdated (SMS)
2. A walled garden (iMessage)

You either have SMS, which hasn’t benefitted from any of the advancements of the last decade, or you have iMessage which forces you and friends to spend WAY more money than needed because you essentially NEED an iPhone to use it with your phone number.

Please, use Signal

Sorry, we meant X

My Bad, must’ve misremembered.

And even then I still have a worse experience than with yt-dlp and piped

You’d hope they could come up with something better

It’s just sad.

Look at somebody’s setup, check the tooling they use to achieve it (e.g i3+Polybar or Sway+Waybar) and follow their respective tooling’s first-setup guides / install guides

From there, familiarize yourself with the way they work and how to configure them.

From there, you’re already on a good path.

Whenever you have questions, just ask! :)

Sorry to disappoint ya, but the thing that gets stored on the blockchain isn’t the image itself but usually just a link to the image, sometimes with a hash of the image.

You’re not storing the image itself on the blockchain, meaning if the link goes down your NFT is useless.

Additionally, you cannot report someone for using your NFT unless you get a registered copyright for it, and the use of your NFT must not fall under fair use. Considering that there’s so many different variants of the same NFT in most cases, it’d be barely possible to register a copyright as you’d immediately strike all the other variants AND there is a chance the distributor already has copyright on the work.

(ofc, I’m not a lawyer, check local legislation.)
