- ray@lemmy.mltoPrivacy@lemmy.ml•A New Anonymous Phone Carrier Lets You Sign Up With Nothing but a Zip CodeEnglish28·3 months ago
You don’t even need a zipcode if you use https://silent.link/ then you can pay with whatever crypto and have an esim where the balance never expires and it works in most of the world. I’ve used it a few months and it’s pretty good if you don’t need a phone number.
I posted the nitter link because it’s where they’re announcing iOS is available. The blog post you referred to is older and just says iOS support coming soon.

Obviously, I am not a lawyer, but I believe that part of having a trademark is that you have to defend it and show that it’s just yours. So I don’t think having a trademark and then just saying everyone can use it would really work.
In the US the whole idea of owning a house as your “nest egg” that keeps growing forever in a way that you can retire with is so toxic. And then there’s also the retirement funds demanding huge returns on real estate.
Really impressive to roll your own mail servers and clients! Do you use AI much to help with development?
Looks pretty great and I applaud the efforts. We need more services like this in the space! Pricing is hard but purelymail.com pricing really makes sense and works for me. You pay based on how much you use it and it lets you add unlimited domains. I’m sure it’s not a great fit for everyone but for light users the pricing is wonderful. If you come up with something similar I’d try your service.
This will fix that too! TheY mentioned it somewhere where
For what it’s worth, the developers also said the backup system is completely rewritten so that now backups will work across platform and are incremental. Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45176074

Also one thing I don’t see mobilizon doing that luma does well is handling payments. So that’s also a thing that could hinder use by organizers.

That’s great and much appreciated. I’ve been following this platform for years but there wasn’t ever an instance that quite suited me or did I have a good enough reason to set one up. But as I’m getting more excited about dweb and concerns about tech being used against people I am thinking of hosting an instance but also found the https://mobilizon.us/ is actually running and somewhat active. Maybe I can promote it more about dweb folks.
I agree the UI could be improved but also I hit quite a few UX bugs along the way that are pretty bad like not being able to set the date and images disappearing after upload. That being said the US instance is a few versions old so I’m hesitant to open issues since it could be fixed already.
Luma is a wonderful experience and quite popular here in SF. I think it sets a great bar for how the participant experience could be. That being said, it is venture backed and probably not long before it becomes enshittified :/
So I’m thinking I’ll get more involved but I did already open a few issues and one merge request. https://framagit.org/kaihuri/mobilizon-instances/-/merge_requests/2
Based on their Matrix chat it seems the dev team only spends Fridays working on it right now so things are slow. I guess some more community code reviews and the like are a way I could help.

That’s tragic. Sorry about your loss and hope you can resolve it.
My tip for everyone would be if a cloud provider is offering lifetime plans to be very careful because that doesn’t indicate a sustainable model. Not saying it’s always a scam but it’s not a good sign.
And that’s why we also need mixed use zoning. The grocery store doesn’t need to be so far away if it doesn’t need a huge parking lot and to feed a population from many many miles away

- ray@lemmy.mlOPtoTechnology@lemmy.ml•Microsoft trims more CPUs from Windows 11 compatibility listEnglish31·1 year ago
Maybe not new, but probably some refurbished ones out there.
Though, I was in Bogota and at a Panamericana store selling new computers I was surprised how many of them were sporting Windows 10 stickers. Didn’t look close enough at the CPUs though.
If you really wanna get started with your own domain I highly recommend just getting https://purelymail.com/ setup for the hosting provider. It’s going to be way cheaper than just about anything and you pay for what you use. I’ve been on it for a few years and never had a problem.
- ray@lemmy.mltoNews@lemmy.world•Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editorsEnglish12·1 year ago
What solution would you propose? I assume the main problem is that it supposedly limits Wikipedia’s ability to ban people that would otherwise just make another account? Maybe they could limit VPN editing to accounts with 500 edits or whatever.
In any case now seems like a great time to prod them to reconsider this policy.
Need someone to make an overlaid side by side comparison.
This, and because there’s no number it’s easier for them to not have KYC.
