You’ll also hear a lot of stories from people in the service industry about cops expecting not to have to pay for food/coffee when they go out to shops, and getting indignant when they are still asked to pay after flashing their badge.

I’m really liking Memmy for iOS.

Makes the app almost entirely unusable. I’m assuming there’s more to this story that we’ll probably learn over the coming days, but somebody dropped the ball.

It’s only a matter of time. If they don’t release it, someone else will release something comparable.

I don’t think the original MegaUpload site hosted encrypted files, at least not in a zero-knowledge way. They also encouraged users to do things like upload their entire music libraries and had a searchable database of them called Megabox. They weren’t just a file hosting provider, they were in many instances encouraging their users to upload pirated content and had all of the tools to see what was being uploaded and what was infringing.

Right, they don’t close the library at night because they have some moral objection to people checking out books at 1AM, it’s just a question of how to allocate their resources. I believe some public libraries, such as Salt Lake City, are experimenting with staying open 24/7.

If you don’t have the time/interest in setting up NextCloud, CryptPad replicates a lot of the functionality of Google Docs/Drive, though to get more 1GB of storage you will have to subscribe.

I do wonder if it’s entirely disabled or just on the default web interface. The Mlem app still gives me the option to downvote things.

I don’t even necessarily disagree with the sentiment of not having downvotes on a platform, but it seems weird to give that up as one server on a federated network, considering anyone from other instances could presumably still downvote posts on here.

It looks like the lemmy.one instance disables the downvote button. My other account on lemmy.ml has it enabled.
