I think it is absolutely fine. Most of the time the communities are on a .ml instance, or modded by the worst people imaginable.

Make many communities and let the inferior ones die. This is good for Lemmy. Just don't copy the same posts to your community, as it'll fill the front page with duplicates, which is detrimental to Lemmy.

4-5 times a day is very normal. And it also sounds like he needs longer walks. Not sure what breed you have but dogs should ideally have around 30-50 minute walks 4-5 times a day. As for the smelling areas, they're looking for territory marking spots. Walks are like the news for dogs. They'll smell around finding what other dogs have been there and leave marks of their own.

Your dog's behavior is very typical, and it doesn't sound like the dog needs to change, but rather that it does need more walks. If you are a very busy person, I'd suggest occasionally hiring a dogwalker. The winter cold is unfortunately just something that comes with having dogs.

Currently at bronze which means it at least starts up, but that's about it.

I still recommend GIMP 3.0 as it has made huge changes that vastly improved user workflow, such as non-destructive editing, multi-layer selection, lower clicks required for each action, etc. It feels much more modern now and non-developer user friendly.

Or you get a windows VM and run your favorite program in that. It works but has a slight performance decrease. You can disable internet access on the VM to prevent telemetry and spyware.

On a slightly brighter note, It will no doubt bring more attention to fingerprinting which in turn will speed up fingerprint obfuscation development and fingerprinting regulation. It will also add more people to the obfuscated user pool. Right now you are essentially helpless against fingerprinting because so few use obfuscation that you out yourself by using it, so google implementing fingerprinting might actually help people already using obfuscation. Non-JavaScript sites will also rise in demand and a debloating will occur.

If it isn't local, then it isn't privacy focused.

Blahaj mods (especially the one modding ghazi, transgender and 196) are the worst kind of mods. They promote blatant misinformation, remove posts calling said misinformation out, and they ban people and label them transphobes despite there being no transphobic words or implications whatsoever in your comments.

Just block the entire instance and move on. There are better instances that better represent the lgbt community.

Source: my ban message is the same as yours, and I have never said or implied anything remotely transphobic.

Just return it. I'm sure they'll understand. And it's the thought that matters.

It doesn't look like it does. It has multiple stackable windows, though.

Yes, finally! I've been using the mobile app, and it has been nothing but amazing.
