Sounds like a job for bombarding them with GDPR requests to maintain a schedule of regular data exports

Pretty sure this is more about access and performance than privacy. I never knew about this site before, but damn, a news article that only contains words on a page and loads quickly? I thought news websites were supposed to be hostile to users?

If you’re on Android, you can automate that with this app (available on F-Droid):

It also includes options to allow numbers you’ve contacted by phone or text, even if they’re not in your contacts, e.g. the doctor’s office.

I don’t know why this is being taken at face value with so many upvotes. The Gensler SEC was right to go after actual scammers and ponzis, but they went much further and clearly had an agenda.

Gensler targeted the most reputable exchange in the US alleging that their core business is illegal, because the Gensler SEC decided to classify crypto assets as securities rather than define a new regulatory framework that actually fits.

Coinbase wanted to follow the rules and spent years asking for clarity. Rather than provide clear rules, the SEC provided a lawsuit.

The one thing I’m holding out hope for is that things like this won’t lead a significant number new people into getting duped.

There’s a certain portion of the population that seems to question nothing and got duped long ago by all of those “every immigrant is a rapist and murder”-type Facebook posts with links to totallyrealnews.com. That segment of idiots remains unchanged. They will believe any wild claim and never fact check as long as the misinformation fits their world view.

The question is, how many people who aren’t already lost see these low-effort AI posts and take them at face value?

Disclaimer: I say this knowing full well that well that better quality and more subtle misinformation is also possible with AI, but this ain’t it.

Yes, fuck Israel and fuck Russia. Not sure why I’m responding to this dumb bait, but here we are. It’s not a straw man argument when both countries are run by literal human feces

This is sad. Google Play should never hold this much weight in the self hosted community. For Android users dedicated to open source software, F-Droid is the target.

I don’t think SyncThing users would have much issue with the app disappearing from Google. Doing away with Google is the goal.

I spun this up yesterday, because it’s the first viable Google Keep replacement I’ve seen. I love the ability to archive bookmarked pages. And while the web app is clunky for notes (worse UX than Keep), the Android app is a decent replacement. The only weird thing is the option to add notes to notes so you can note while you note.

Worth mentioning that adding or changing a title is completely impossible on Android. Support for titles is included, but hidden, in the web UI, and the web UI adds unnecessary friction to editing notes.

The web UI also doesn’t support newline characters unless they’re preceded by two spaces (strict markdown formatting, like on Lemmy/Reddit), which is annoying. Markdown support is nice, but the vast majority of notes and reminders that I create only require plaintext.

100%. I subscribe here to learn about new advancements—to learn about technology.

The finances and politics of the tech industry have a home in those respective communities.

Nah, condoms have existed for ages and have many other benefits.

FTFY

I feel like this thread has been bombarded by the Zuckerberg defense brigade.

Pretty sure I first read this headline in 2012. I’m glad the DOJ finally woke up

The fact that this is the only new “innovation” worth writing an article about is sad. Technological progress has declined so much over the last decade as Big Tech has consolidated the market. Doesn’t help the every minor leap gets turned into a subscription these days either.
