I 100% agree that any interaction with the fediverse is public and this does not stop Meta from creating a minimal instance under a different domain which they probably already do. This act is one of protest.

threads.net is the domain. You can get a head start and block any IP addresses associated with it using the firewall of your choice.
Defederating or suspending will prevent your instance from seeing the content of another instance. Blocking the IP addresses associated with the domain will prevent the other instance from seeing your content by normal means. Meta could spin up a secret instance to spy on the fediverse (and probably already does this) which is impossible to stop, but this act is a means of protest.
If you run an instance connected to the fediverse, use a firewall to block the threads.net domain.
There are many ways to run code at startup. cronjobs and systemd are common ways to handle this. I have also had things start automatically with my desktop environment which comes later in the boot process.
You may be accustomed to the process, but fixing issues in the registry is not intuitive. It is simple enough if you find a guide that tells you exactly which item you need to work on and exactly what the default is and what you need to change it to, but what if the guide isn’t exactly what you want?
In the GNU/Linux ecosystem, nearly every program has a config file. Sometimes each line has detailed comments in plain text around it you what the option does with examples of what it could be. If the documentation doesn’t exist, you can dig deeper and see what that option does in the source which is usually documented as well. Programming experience is not required to search for text and read comments. Such documentation is not equivalent in Windows.
This is a common result of firm firmware and tinkering.
Extra firmware cannot be modified.
Firm firmware might be able to be modified, but documentation is largely unknown.
Silken firmware is easily modified by the user.
These names are taken from tofu packaging.
You were hacked by the manufacturer.
Tax dollars should not be against the interests of those that pay taxes.

The ability to edit titles seems like an obvious feature that Reddit never added.
This is the first top-level comment that hints at the main criticism against systemd. systemd is increasingly difficult to replace as time goes on. I like and use systemd because it has a fast boot, but I wish the project was developed in a more modular way that had choice built-in. It is instead developed as the way that everyone should systemd instead of alternatives. This philosophy gets in the way of distributions that want to provide alternatives (Devuan, Gentoo, Parabola, etc.). Some of the sysadmins I work with closely use Devuan and follow development. I hear the patch set around bypassing systemd grows in size and complexity each year which is worrisome for choice.
I viewed their page without JS and missed their GitHub link. That’s good, but I won’t trust Apple until their OS is reproducible from source. The license is also incompatible with the Apple App store.
Why is KeePassXC better than KeePass?
Strongbox, iOS, and iCloud are closed source so using them places all trust blindly with their developers. Third-party audits are impossible. Their privacy policies are all that users have to go on. After Snowden, privacy policies don’t mean much.
No no no, not Keepass, Strongbox, or iCloud. That isn’t trustworthy.
Use KeePassXC. Only place passwords that will be needed on a device. Don’t upload to a server that you do not own.
The moral of the story is to support projects that you might want to use in the future even if they are not finished yet before you need them. Mastodon and Lemmy have been around for years. When the mainstream alternative suddenly becomes lame, it isn’t an emergency on the devs part.
You can apply this to most alternatives. Support GIMP, Krita, and Inkscape if you are an artist using Adobe products. Support mixxx, audacity, and lmms if you are a DJ. Support LibreOffice if you use Microsoft Office.
You cannot rename a file from webp to jpg, but you can change the URL to .jpg and it will likely serve you the jpeg version. You can also convert webp to another format with dwebp or MS Paint.
