I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
The article is nice, but I’m not sure if I’d send it to friends that aren’t familiar with the fediverse. It seems to gloss over some problems and focus less relevant ones
It doesn’t touch on the issues with Blueskys protocol and makes it sound like an equivalent choice (or worse, a better choice). In the downsides section it touches on racism in badly moderated instances, and the difficulty of setting up an instance. Those issues aren’t relevant to the vast majority of users who will join a large instance that has defederated from the bad stuff.
It’s a nice article for those who are already somewhat familiar, but a bad first impression
Very cool, thank you!
This is both really cool, and really unsettling. I wonder if this research might help in the other direction as well, such as with transplants and grafts
Others have commented on the issues with Vivaldi, but do you have points on what you like about Vivaldi? People might suggest non-chromium browsers that do the same things
sarcasm is already hard to understand online, even harder for generative AI
I know sometimes I would take a peek at the person’s comment history to see if they were well informed / a shill for the product. The AI can’t do that
I’ve seen some dashboards around, is this what you’re looking for?
At the same time, the variables in that calculation might change over time. If it becomes easy enough for them to support it, or the costs of not supporting it get too high, they might change their minds.
Alternatively: wean yourself and your friends off of snapchat. In my part of the world, snapchat isn’t popular anymore. It doesn’t offer anything new and so barely anyone uses it.
Another side I haven’t seen mentioned
It might be easier to track users in Chrome. If even a few users open it in chrome instead of Firefox, that’s a benefit for them
Anyone dealing with issues: try setting the user agent to chrome to see if this is Google’s doing
Oops, should be fixed now
Thanks!
Looks cool, I like the lists of games in the sidebar
Feel free to promote on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca as well
Oh I didn’t know there was a new app coming out, is the original one being rebuilt?
I think updates like that would do well on Mastodon, it’s the most popular right now so it has a wider reach / support. Similar to what would have been posted to Twitter before
I like !privacyguides@lemmy.one because the project is behind it
Whenever friends ask about resources, I always link them to the privacyguides website. I should use their community more as well
See if you can find a friend who owns a particular model and is comfortable letting you try it on. How it fits is the most important thing IMO.
Samsung ones seem reliable, but one big downside is that the app (Galaxy Wearable), has a number of required permissions. The app does not function without them, even if you don’t need those features. I’m not sure what the workarounds are, and maybe you can make do without the app, but here is the list:
- Calendar
- Call logs
- Contacts
- Nearby Devices
- Phone
- SMS

I was about to recommend Heliboard since that’s the best one so far IMO, but it also doesn’t have emoji search. Turns out I was using the “recent emojis” menu
That might help in the meantime till a better recommendation comes around
There actually is a bot here for that
@RemindMe@programming.dev 12 hours
I’m fuzzy on the details, but I do get reports from users on another instance as long as it’s “relevant” (ex. in one of our communities, one of our users)
Banning a foreign user on our instance will fix the problem for our instance, but they need to be banned on the home instance too in order to stop the spam from continuing
This makes me think of people who have trouble in airports because their name is similar to someone else’s.
Only this is going to be much harder to deal with
That’s part of why I clicked the article, I was confused if I read it correctly
