Bingo.

This is the problem with any kind of forced financial support - it leads to centralized control, and not likely by those who mean well.

That's not much of an answer, I'm not reading docs because you can't be bothered. I don't use NixOS, so if you want to use that as an example, you'll need to put in the effort to explain how it's different.

If you don't want to use LDAP, don't. Then you get to manage each user account on each device.

To be frank, it seems like you have an adversarial attitude about this, and you think NixOS is the answer. Every one of your responses has been "but" whatever. You don't seem like you want to understand how to use things, just complain it doesn't work the way you think it should.

You need backup local admin accounts, not Backups for each user.

Which is how enterprise does things. There are local accounts with root access, but the id's and passwords are tightly controlled.

Do all straight guys like boobs the same?

What's wrong with LDAP for users? (I'm trying to think of a negative, and can't).

Bingo.

The key is to start this conversation from the beginning with anything/everything.

MDM - mobile device management, is the only way I know of.

Have you used both of them?

Signal UI/UX is like using a cheap SMS app. This is a big deal for getting people to use it.

It doesn't sync to other devices (it does, but it's manual).

Telegram I can grab the device in front of me and it shows exactly what is on any other device.

As does any XMPP chat.

Alternatively there's Teleguard, by SwissCows. They claim e2e for all comms, noting stored on their servers. It's like using Telegram.

You can also try Universal android debloat.

It can disable Gallery, though that has its own issues on Samsung.

Well, 300 years is recent to Brits. Give em time to try it out, and circulate their favorites.

Oh, my poor child. I'd mail you one if I could.

Alton covers it in Good Eats "Popover Sometime". Popovers use a similar batter.

Stupid easy to make. My mother wasn't much of a cook (bless her heart), and still taught us to make them as kids.

From their About page:

Project Liberty is stitching together an ecosystem of technologists, academics, policymakers and citizens committed to building a people-powered internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim.

I just heard Frank McCourt on a podcast plugging his book "Our Biggest Fight".

It was great to hear someone with a voice talking about the problems we see with user data and social media, especially the problem of the Social Graph (the map of all your social connections, which includes weights and values).

Their solution to this problem was to develop a social networking protocol that enables any compliant app to use (think how email works - a standard protocol, SMTP), but encrypted and user data controlled by the user. They call it DSNP - Decentralized Social Networking Protocol.

I see both sides of their approach, I'm kind of ambivalent, lots of concern here long-term.

They've already acquired MeWe and have converted some users to this protocol. He wants to buy the US side of TikTok (if it becomes available) and convert it to DSNP, which would encrypt about 30 million US accounts.

I'm always cynical about stuff that sounds promising, but I don't have the tech background to really dissect what they're doing. Anyone understand this better?

 

I have no idea where to even start to combat such things. Healthcare professionals must appease the masses of their peers.

I've seen this first hand in the corporate world, where it's called a 360 review. It's a popularity contest.

While there's value in the idea of such reviews, they're ripe for abuse. It codifies an environment of dishonesty - where people who are good at masking (err, sociopaths anyone) excel.
