  • Markdown Editor with Obsidian-style Preview

    Jump

  • Joplin has this functionality, although I don’t often use it since I prefer to type directly into the Markdown editor. Whatever you choose, be sure that you’re comfortable with the security and privacy implications of it.

  • Project 2025 could escalate US cybersecurity risks, endanger more Americans

  • Conservative Christians want a theocracy but suck at governing. Didn't we already know this?

  • Poland Leverages China’s Rail Link in Europe to Rein In Belarus

    Jump

  • Gotta love a simple physical solution to a problem that doesn’t leave exploitable loopholes. By simply physically blocking imports, Poland can control the situation and just let Lukashenko and Xi scream into the void.

  • So is this a map of retirement migration? Social and economic security? Long winters?

  • Russian chef arrested in Paris over alleged ‘large scale’ Olympic Games plot

  • Not exactly “low profile.”

  • Lemmy alternative

  • This is a really cool idea, and some fediverse software already lets you follow hashtags (ie Pixelfed and maybe Mastodon). I could imagine this being immediately abused by mistagging to force material into your feed. It’s already a problem on Pixelfed.

  • "Significant increase in anxiety and depressed moods": Russians’ preferred future is a return to the prewar past, surveys reveal

    Jump

  • The old Soviet prison cities still exist. So yeah, that’s a possibility

  • ‘The Russian society isn’t prepared’: The Kremlin fears ‘public discontent’ and a rise in crime as soldiers returning from the war in Ukraine fail to adapt to civilian life

    Jump

  • I have zero sympathy for Putin or his enablers. I have great sympathy for the rest of Russian society who'll be left to pick up the pieces after draftees return home injured and traumatized. Almost no one asked for this. It's too bad we couldn't just send Putin & Co to an isolated location and let them do whatever they do without harming anyone else.

  • Would be cool if they had the power to do something about it then.

  • beaconDB is an open, and privacy-friendly network location service, replacing Mozilla's defunct location service

    Jump

  • Thanks for the explanation. I really do appreciate it. We seem to have a fundamental disagreement about whether this can be truly private and, indeed, whether it's necessary at all. It still seems to me a non-private solution in search of a problem.

  • No, I don’t share location data with Google. What gave you that idea?

  • And your phone’s GPS wouldn’t work for all of those cases because…?

  • I disagree that location is necessary functionality.

  • I don’t really see the need for a location service in the first place. My phone can share my GPS coordinates with first responders in an emergency. For everything else, there’s simply typing in the location I want to know about.

  • Forced labour in China: 'Growing evidence" that Beijing forcibly transfers workers from Xinjiang to other regions within the country seeking to avoid Western sanctions

    Jump

  • Sadly because I have many friends from China, I’ve come to the conclusion that anything sourced in any way from China is likely a product of forced labor. To the extent possible, these days I avoid anything touched by Chinese industry in any way.

  • Why is this needed? There’s a reason for Mozilla cancelling their service.

  • Is “not as bad as Google” really a good goal for a project?

  • Touché. My bad 😕

  • Aren’t “privacy-friendly” and “location service” mutually exclusive?
