  • YSK: Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy

    Jump

  • I think they are referring to the point that you want your personal votes to be kept private. Some say it is a form of "cowardice" to not vote publicly.

    Personally I see your point is very valid and at least this should be more actively described when signing up for Lemmy and that obviously your instance admins can see everything and you should be very careful (e.g. VPN) if you'd like to participate privately in a conversation. Maybe this is not the right platform for you then ufortunately. Everything in life has its pros and cons and certainly Lemmy is not perfect.

  • Not sure why u only mention iMessage, but it also works fine in Signal and other messaging apps 👌

  • that is how I started 6 months ago, but then I noticed how awfully outdated all the packages are. As I wanted to use it for gaming I'd like to have the latest drivers and latest Steam, and a modern wayland window manager etc. which is why I am now on Fedora and am very happy so far. Good luck on your journey.

  • introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server

    Jump

  • I agree but it's still in an early development state. Not really usable for everyday work let alone most people never heard about it 😅 But yeah still cool to mention it under "modern" browsers. I wish them good luck with the first alpha next year. I hope it'll be successful.

  • YouTube app is the worst

    Jump

  • I have Pixeld Android 16 and there I can still diasable every pre-installed app directly in the app settings. Also you could just go to the "open by default" settings of the app an set it to back to "browser" this way yt videos you click will not open the app anymore but the browser.

    I think when you disable yt you can even got to the NewPipe app settings and enbaled it to be opened by default for each yt link and many more are supported by the app.

    Also the youtube app is very usable with premium obviously. So in case you want to try it out but want it cheaper you could try the vpn trick an buy premium from a "low cost" country. Unfortunately google is fighting is actively and for most countries you'd need a credit card from that country. However Poland still worked for me for example and it't still almost half the price therr.

  • PewDiePie's tierlist of browsers

  • I mean ladybird certainly would be lowest tier, considering you first have to compile yourself 😂 also it's pre alpha state...

    But it'll be interesting to see how far they've come on 1 year

  • YSK about the GI Rights Hotline

    Jump

  • Well actually: "It was originally an initialism used in U.S. Army paperwork for items made of galvanized iron.[2] The earliest known instance in writing is from either 1906[3] or 1907.[2]" Also later on re-interpreted as "government issued" etc. but I guess today it just means US army soldier

  • Why does Signal want a phone number to register if it's supposedly privacy first?

    Jump

  • it's being answered in the github thread you linked. Sorry that this is not enough for you but it's enough for most people: "For people who are concerned about this sort of thing, you can enable sealed sender indicators in the settings"

  • Why does Signal want a phone number to register if it's supposedly privacy first?

    Jump

  • The amount of trolls in this thread that either try to spew false information intentionally or just have no idea what they are talking about is insane.

    If you are worried about what data (including your phone number) law enforcement can recieve (if they have your specific user ID, which is not equal to your phone number) from the Signal company check this: https://propertyofthepeople.org/document-detail/?doc-id=21114562 Tldr: It's the date of registration and last time user was seen online. No other information, Signal just doesn't have any other and this is by design.

    If you want to know more about how they accomplish that feat you can check out the sealed sender feature: https://nerdschalk.com/what-is-sealed-sender-in-signal-and-should-you-enable-it/

    or the private contact discovery system: https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/

    Also as Signal only requires a valid phone number for registration you might try some of these methods (not sure if they still work): https://theintercept.com/2024/07/16/signal-app-privacy-phone-number/

  • Germany is now deporting pro-Palestine EU citizens. This is a chilling new step | Hanno Hauenstein

    Jump

  • Yeah that is why "deportation" is the wrong word being used... It is an "opinion" piece from one Berlin based journalist, that obviously lacks some legal details or is trying to use a catchy headline. I especially like it when the article says the used "objects that could have been used as potential weapons". It was fucking AXES they used and obviously the Uni employees were horrified when it happened. Not saying that is right to restrict EU citizens movement in such cases. I'd prefer a proper trial before that happens but they certainly didn't behave very well.

    In case of the US citizen I guess you could call it a deportation/expulsion.

    Some translated legal background for you guys: Strictly speaking, in the case of EU citizens, this is not referred to as expulsion/deportation, but as loss of freedom of movement. ‘EU citizens entitled to freedom of movement can lose their right of residence for reasons of public order, security or health,’ according to the website of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

    Particularly stringent conditions apply to the loss of residence on grounds of public order or security. ‘There must be an actual and sufficiently serious threat to public order or security that affects a fundamental interest of society. This threat must be based on the personal behaviour of the EU citizen,’ writes the Federal Ministry of the Interior on its website.

    People who do not come from the EU are referred to as deportees. This is the case here for one person. If a person from a third country jeopardises public safety and order, the free democratic basic order or other significant public interests through their stay, they can be expelled.
