Pick whatever looks best. It's not a big of a deal as we make it out to be.

Fedora KDE is also an awesome choice though if you must choose something else.

If BYOD was allowed I'd probably get a laptop with two M.2 drives and keep work and personal on separate OSs on separate drives, both encrypted so they can't access each other's files.

Best of both worlds.

I'm not interested in conjecture I'm interested in facts. Get me some research papers. Get me some court docs. Something.

No it's because they're demeaned using it.

I count ~~33~~ 42 triangles, counting black space and outlines made of other triangles.

Cox got caught buying that data, and when confronted about it, Google, Amazon, and Meta all failed to deny that they also buy that data from those malicious app makers

But what is that based on? This paragraph?

A spokesperson for CMG told Newsweek that "CMG businesses have never listened to any conversations nor had access to anything beyond third-party aggregated, anonymized, and fully encrypted data sets that can be used for ad placement."

I don't think that explicitly means they had datasets made up of clandestinely recorded conversations in the wild.

third-party aggregated, anonymized, and fully encrypted data sets that can be used for ad placement.

Really could describe ANY possible set of tracking data... Unless you put this quote into a clickbaitey article and strongly imply it's something sinister.

Someone back this up with proof. Security researchers would've noticed this. They'd've had to have hacked their way around the microphone permission systems and microphone use indicator (depending on OS) on your phone and upload that data without being caught by security analysts. That kind of bug would probably be worth a fairly decent bounty too.

The article talks about a slide in a PITCH to advertisers. But not a concrete system. Then it goes on to say advertisers bought a dataset from other sources. What dataset? From where? It doesn't say. Transcriptions from voice assistants? Maybe. But without hard evidence I don't believe random apps are just recording clandestinely in the background. But people want to believe this so writing shitty unsourced articles with click bait titles and tenuous-if-I'm-generous linking of weak facts lacking entirely in context generates lots of clicks.

Other than Aldi, pretty much no.

Selling? I host things for myself, not others. Except my Lemmy instance I suppose, that's public.

Start selfhosting. I use my domain for tons of stuff

Sorry it took 35 minutes over my promised timeframe. My fault. I should've been keeping up my Ansible config not bumbling around manually. Then I would've known that I needed to uncap pict-rs' memory limit. Ah well we got there in the end.


0.19.4 mostly changes things in the backend, but there are a couple notable user features:

  • You can now see all media you've uploaded and delete what you wish (only affects media uploaded after the upgrade)

  • Better federation with Mastodon and other similar software, all posts are tagged with the community name (in the background, you won't see it) so that Mastodon users can see them.

  • Vote totals now have settings. You can see a total (Upvotes minus downvotes), both seperate, or a percentage.

You can see the full changelog here.

As always, thanks for being a member of The Lemmy Club.

Personally, I'm heading to Texas to see family. Flying out to Abilene, then the morning of I'll drive out to the path, see the eclipse, and then drive on to San Antonio where I have more family.

Hey all -

Just a quick announcement that we're currently not federating with eviltoast.org - it seems to be the base of the spam bots we've seen recently. I don't think the site administration teams have anything to do with the spam however they also seem to be absent, and are not doing anything to combat it. Until such time that they are actively cleaning up their spam issue they will remain defederated. I'm pretty lax about our federation, but this has been a persistent issue (See rule 9). I'm sure the spammer will probably find another host at some point though.

Thanks for being a member of TheLemmy.Club

Edit: it looks like thier admins have cleaned it up. Removing for now.
