If you want a more comprehensive overview of your traffic and the ability to set firewall rules to block specific sites, I found Safing Portmaster to be a great option.

You also get filter lists, ability to tweak connections made by different apps, and, as a paid option, connect to a Tor-like network where every app van be designated its own exit node, at the speed of about 60mbits/s last time I checked (currently not using this option).

Exactly my thoughts lol

It’s insane how much people are self-limiting with all those stereotypes. In my own relationship, I often help my loved one untangle a lot as well.

Happy to know I’m not the only one thinking this way!

Exactly! And I think being part of united community helps better understand the circumstances of others, which ends up helping everyone.

Yeah, unfortunately, in the later years the term has been widely used by a lot of bigots to push something very different from the original idea.

Even Wikipedia now mentions both.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masculism

I only mean it in the original sense, and am happy that quite a few people agree that this community should have its place.

Happy to have you there! Feel free to post what you find interesting as well!

Masculism is a movement against gender-based discrimination of men.

It may take many forms, and, unfortunately, some of them are clearly misogynistic and often appropriated by people who are into patriarchy. Similarly, some forms of radical feminism do get misandric.

Those are not the flavors of feminism and masculism I talk about, and those are clearly against the community rules.

Among those feminists and masculists that call for true gender equality, however, contradictions are unnecessary since the end goal is exactly the same.

!mensliberation@lemmy.ca is:

1. A community about men (!antisexism@lemmy.today is about everyone)
2. Openly focused on the feminist perspective, which, in my opinion, is limited because it only takes one angle.

Think of !antisexism@lemmy.today as an attempt to form a wider group (men, women, and nonbinary) exploring gender inequality from different angles.

Confirmed, can see it from lemmy.today!

Congrats!

Mint is fairly secure by default.

That said, nothing listed in the article is bad for your security, all pieces of advice do make sense in certain scenarios, but this is generally considered an overkill for home use.

If you’re an average user, don’t bother yourself with it.

They can be offered to choose.

Opt-out is always bad because it is meant to exploit users who are not aware that a certain feature can be turned off. Even among those who do, not all are confidently going through settings.

Startup on boot:

In Windows: cool and normal

In Linux: who the hell do you think you are?!

And I love it. Going Linux helps to focus on what you actually need, and adds so much to the peace of mind.

Is that a thing?

Yes. It’s not common for Americans to come to China, but many in other parts of the world do. Currently living in Russia, I personally know a few folks, primarily from IT sector, moving there for new opportunities.

Aside from suggested communities, make sure to filter out content by keywords.

You can do that on many mobile apps, while in the web version it is commonly done through uBlock Origin functionality.

After that, Lemmy gets quite nice

Looks like you’re all set to repeat that

They are trying hard to block all known adblockers. And if they ever do, this will become a serious problem.

I see, thanks!

Fedi is mostly hostile to the idea of crypto, which is why such projects are commonly a no-go for this audience.

6 years is a fairly long run, so I hope tokenomics was somehow figured out.

Advertising is something commonly rejected; I too see this as a strong negative. Paid boosting of genuine content is not great, but I’ll take it.

Question: what advantages does it have over hosting your own fedi server? Anonymity? Not having to invest in hosting to get more control? Not having to build federated connections and rediscover communities?

True

Reading more about it, I see it’s based on a blockchain, with Pocketcoin token serving as a currency to incentivise node operators.

So, do I understand it right that every action and piece of media is distributed around all nodes, which are incentivised by crypto to keep going? And that user doesn’t normally operate a node per se, but has an account, similar to a crypto wallet, on this blockchain? Also, do node maintainer rewards come from users or the emission pool?

For now it looks to me like a terribly scalable and wasteful system with potential for monetary enshittification. Also, financing is unclear: if it’s on users, barely anyone is gonna pay for everything they publish. If it comes from the pool, even if it is diminishing like with Bitcoin, what would generate demand for the token? Governance?

But I might not see everything
