I just don't understand why they moved to discord instead of Lemmy. Discord is just a dumb platform for thread based discussions.

Kann dich voll verstehen, aber bekomme das in allen sozialen Berufen in meinem Umfeld mit:

  • Jede berufliche Entscheidung wird ins Persönliche gezogen (bei Wechsel, Krankheit, Kündigung wird gejammert, dass das Team das ausbaden muss)
  • Es wird immer ein scheinbarer Gegensatz zwischen "sozialer" Motivation und finanziellen Interessen gezogen (warum soll nicht beides gehen? Es geht um Menschenleben - warum soll das nicht fürstlich entlohnt werden?)
  • Lieblingstool jeder Teamleitung: Schlechtes Gewissen machen, wenn man seine ganz normalen Arbeitnehmerrechte in Anspruch nimmt

Und da wundert man sich, warum sich nix ändert und die Gewerkschaften in der Pflege so schwach sind...

This comment says it all.

To illustrate op’s point I’m going to spin up an instance, federate with everyone, and not tell anyone what that instance is.

Then I’m going to feed all that data into my new website, called Open Lemmy Stats, where anyone can query the user data ive accumulated. The homepage will be ripe with insights, leaderboards and all kinds of data on prolific users.

Additionally, I’ll display a snapshot/profile of a random user by feeding that users data to GPT4 to make inferences about the user’s political affiliations and display the results.

Worst of all, I’m not going to out my instance for everyone to know it as the one to defederate. In fact I’m spinning up a few instances that will host innocuous communities that I plan to mod and support to give my instances cover for their true purpose: redundant fediverse datastreams for my site, Open Lemmy Stats.

I’ll also have a store where anyone can buy my collected fediverse data for a handsome sum.

Just kidding I’m not doing any of this. But someone absolutely will or already is.

This is an old one for many countries...but I fear a housing crisis in Germany.

Right now it's not as prevalent as in the us for example but there are no steps taken to prevent it becoming a major social issue.

  • Construction industry suffers from high prices and a lack of workforce
  • The only housing that is being worked on are luxury properties
  • Infrastructure development in rural areas where housing is still affordable is not progressing
  • Regulations and hurdles for new buildings are more difficult and complex than anywhere else
  • Real estate ownership is often only possible through inheritance/generational wealth, as income is extremely highly taxed

Knowing that up and downvotes are public (if not on the user profile through the API, so any crawler/3rd party app has access afaik) I avoid voting at all. I think it's bad design and really hinders my engagement with posts.

If you don't mind buying another tool - there are unscrewing tools, which you apply like a screwdriver and hit it with a hammer. They form a new cross-slot profile in the screw head and at the same time give a rotary impulse to loosen the screw.

Anyone know what they are called?

How exactly does federation on Nextcloud work? I use a hosted Nextcloud instance but it's just an OneDrive alternative for me.

Seems only work for cards. I prefer compact and it doesn't seem to work there.

I mean disagreements are inevitable if you're on a platform posting comments and stuff. But also I'm already tired of discussions like this. Let's just leave it at that.

I didn't complain about sync's privacy policy or closed source anywhere. I just think your comment is weird and it's a strange hill you're dying on.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (19 children)

Yeah and we all know that if you're not using a dumb phone and an Unix machine disconnected from the internet you're an exquisite knob and shouldn't worry about privacy at all and anyone should have the right to access your data.

What a bullshit take.

 

I avoid Twitter at any cost but sometimes I'd like to read a single tweet or check a certain account. In the past I used fritter on Android or nitter.net in the browser.

Both do not work for me anymore.

Is there a good way to access twitter without - you know - actually using twitter?

 

Joey for Reddit was my reddit client of choice for several years now. There never was any announcement from the dev regarding the future of Joey.

So there were speculations if he made a deal with reddit and would continue with a subscription tier.

Boost however officially announced they would shut down with the API changes coming.

I just checked and both apps are still going strong.

Shouldn't they have stopped working on June 30th?

Amy idea what's going on?

Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably. But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we'd be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.

 

Would love to follow the development on Android using Obtainium. Would it be possible to add the apks to the releases in Github or is it iOS testflight exclusive at the moment?

 

I was using the I don't care about cookies addon but there was talking about the development going in a shady direction so I got rid of it.

Currently I'm using the ublock origin annoyance filters which works only half of the time.

Which filter list would you recommend?

Is there a better way to handle this or is ublock origin still the way to go (for cookies, ad blocking is great).

 

It's great, give it a try.

Just a little PSA: If you have trouble logging into Lemmy, make sure you don't have a space after your username. I accidentally entered it with a space in the password manager and it took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out why only the donut of horror was spinning but I wasn't logged in.

For Lemmy, "username " is apparently something different than "username".
