Recently joined the Tuta + Custom Domain gang myself… Can confirm a smooth User Experience!

I’d add that I also migrated my DNS from Squarespace (formerly Google Domains) to France’s Scaleway. Altogether smooth transition.

If you’re out there suggesting political stances can be adequately expressed along a single line, then you’re not doing much better I’m afraid. Engage with the nuance, friend, it’ll build understanding and be better for all of us.

‘Left’/‘Right’ need to go, they’re losing any meaning they once had - instead: “What’s your policy on X”? “How do you feel about Y?” “Do you agree with Z’s policy on A, B & C, and why?”.

Curiosity, followed by grounded opinion, over tribalism.

Now excuse me while I go and try to practice what I just preached 😅

Disappointing that this isn’t the overwhelming response; and shows how dangerously close to fascism a lot of the supposedly ‘anti fascist’ respondents actually are.

To ban a thing, you’d better first clearly define what it is.

Right/Left are poor descriptors of often complex political stances, with ‘far right’ being no easier.

Clearly a dangerous path. Those beying for ‘a ban on far right’ need to take a pause and think, it’s like they’ve forgotten what nuance is.

Better to a) fund the teaching of critical thinking and humanistic morality through the education system; and b) foster domestic economic policies that maximise opportunities for your citizens so they don’t feel disenfranchised in large numbers.

That will help prevent the emergence of tribalistic, insular, moral-absolutist behaviour closer to the root.

It’s a really bad idea - forcing your own political opinions is a key characteristic of the ‘fascism’ you claim to want to ban.

$14 USD/mo… Ironically

I’ve been an enthusiastic adopter of Generative AI in my coding work; and know that Claude 3.7 is the greatest coding model out there right now (at least for my niche).

That said, at some point you have to choose principles over convenience; so I’ve cancelled all my US Tech service accounts - now exclusively using ‘Le Chat Pro’ (+ sometimes local LLM’s).

Honestly, it’s not quite as good, but it’s not half bad either, and it is very very fast thanks to some nifty hardware acceleration that the others lack.

I still get my work done, and sleep better at night.

The more subscriptions Mistral get, the more they’re able to compete with the US offerings.

Anyone can do this.

It should not be that surprising. Many teenagers are really smart, curious and will find their way here. That said I realise your warning is well intentioned; I hope Lemmy remains a more civil place than Reddit became over the last ten years, for everyone; teenagers included.

Same here: Deleted my 13y Reddit account along with every other US tech account except Google, as I need that for my livelihood.

Censorship wasn’t the motivation. Rather; I’m withdrawing my support for the US economy in any way possible, given the shocking geopolitical events of this year and the way they are treating Ukraine.

Besides, the Federverse feels like going back to the internet’s roots and I’m here for it!
