I thought google messages does have end to end encryption? It's the one thing I am jealous about so I stick with Molly, SimpleX, etc. instead and avoid SMS as much as possible.

That's weird, I use summit and it renders like the screenshot. I don't use connect but maybe yours needs to be updated. Only one or maybe two apps had a 10 originally before the post but it has been updated since then to reflect changes devs have made after the post.

I don't consider free with ads or buy for no ads on the same level as the rest of the free Lemmy apps. I hate ads, won't tolerate them.

The best apps for rendering are: Alexandrite, Connect, Jerboa, Photon, Quiblr, Summit, and Voyager. Sync and Boost are pretty poor at it despite being paid apps.

I hate that simplex is like this.

It was account level, if I went offline then the other person would get a notification from steam that said something like "Hooray, X's shared games are now available for you to play!"

If you're talking about the new steam families beta then yes that is when it was changed to be game level not account level.

Maybe, but I was thinking how back then if I wanted to borrow Spore or Oblivion from a friend then I could physically trade the discs with them. Nowadays it is more acceptable for everyone to have their own computer or gaming system assuming there aren't financial constraints. My new problem with the new Steam Families is that it limits you to one group of 6 people and you have to wait an entire year after leaving a family to create or join a new one. Supposedly what initially made me pissed off enough to pirate again has been fixed.

I think you misunderstand family share. I've used it and it's basically if you share with someone else then whenever you are online and playing any one of your games then the other person cannot play any of your other games. So you're playing game A, well the other person can't play game B, C, D, E, etc. from your library. That's what anon is talking about. Steam is introducing Steam Families that is supposed to fix it but I haven't tried it since I gave up on family sharing long before it was announced, I went back to pirating to share games.

I prefer end to end encryption, like in Matrix, Signal, SimpleX, etc. So I don't use Lemmy for PMs since they are not actually private, hell I went quite a while where I stopped using Lemmy because it is not meant for someone interested in their own privacy despite the irony of having multiple privacy focused communities. If someone doesn't want to host instances dedicated to CSAM I could see them wanting to defederate, but so far I've seen defederation used as a temper tantrum. It's always over some stupid drama. If you don't want to host whatever then what is the point of opening your instance to other people? I fail to see why someone would bother going through this trouble and then say no you can't view this community meant for modifying your nintendo switch. Even reddit does not care as much as the instance owners on Lemmy do. It's just baffling. Also good luck deleting your posts and comments. Ugh this convo makes me hate Lemmy again.

I also would rather manage what I block or federate to. I hate that Lemmy enables instances to have too much control over its users, deciding what you can and cannot see and admins can see your PMs too. I got fed up with Lemmy.world because of their federation fuckups, why would communities that talk about piracy but don't link to anything cause an admin to get sued? They won't, reddit allows more piracy talk than Lemmy.world does lmao. Obviously Nintendo searches through the fediverse for anyone even saying they pirated stuff, right guys?! Nah I just don't care for their admins. I usually dont agree with whatever their admins say, I even saw someone from world complain about Lemmy.world policies on their thread and the user got their account deleted by an admin with a nice smug response from them. I can't have my own instance since I don't have the money to spare, otherwise I would since it is BS that Lemmy doesn't allow users to have the same control over their feed as an admin.

I have to agree. I considered Standard Notes but I would have to pay for super notes in order to use images, even if I self-host. Same for code blocks, organizing notes into folders, spreadsheets, web clipper. Have to get the most expensive plan for offline access and being able to have local backups, although it is discounted if you self-host completely but why still pay a sub at that point? I would rather pay once and then be able to self-host using their super notes without paying more every month.

I liked Obsidian but wanted encryption that works on my android so I went with Joplin.

Same but I went with proton.
