Is it broken? All the settings don't sync like mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts and themes, and that's a bummer but things like bookmarks and extensions has worked well for me.

How is it doxxing if his profile is fucking public?

Do you even know what that word means?

Ask yourself if "RealName" field was added in response of a requirement that's supposed to assist with a bullshit law backed by a mega evil corp?

No?

Then how's it comparable?

So they knew it was against the community and went right ahead?

There wouldn't be "this" thread if they had taken the community into consideration.

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. That "engineer" is ~~contributing~~ bullhorning this bullshit on multiple Linux based repositories.

Politicians: the immigrants

Them: k, makes sense. never liked them anyway.

Hawkernews being unhinged capitalists as always:

aeternum: 18h

Sad.

And perhaps a controversial take but consider the counterfactual: Should it be illegal to fire employees that recent took mental health leave? Get a bad review or put on a PIP? It's already becoming a common strategy to immediately take mental health/sick leave.

0xbadc0de5: 3h

This is sad and tragic but ultimately I don't think Mongo bares any responsibility here. If her partner left her while she was having a prolonged mental health crisis, would her partner be to blame for her suicide? I would argue: no.

You're just an expendable cog to the money machine to techbros.

Android is actually your friend, Google is not. You can take Google out of Android but not Android out of Google.

There's a decade of custom ROMs to prove it, unlike an iPhone where someone else dictates every aspect for you. There's way ahead in performance, but that's all gone to waste for power users. Even their browser is like the the ones you used to have on flip phones.

I was hoping the recent monopoly suit to be anything other than a wrist slap for google, but that's too much to expect from US.

They should also fund the projects that they're using. Then everyone benefits.

Getting off with just a wrist slap on their monopoly trial has embolden them. They think they're untouchable now. I wouldn't be surprised they have a backroom deal with the feds too.

Google's terms and conditions are consistently draconian and stupid.

They are not stupid, they are just intentionally malicious.

The developer chose the correct platform for that then. It's an apple only app.

His excuse? Android requires him to store databases of user IDs, but Apple does it themselves so it's more "private". There are tons of opensource push notification platforms available on Android that you can sideload. But seems like the developer wants the limelight than anything.

Also my honeypot senses are tingling.

Reddit at this point a psyop for multiple different countries, political parties, celebrities, influenzars and such. US, Israel, China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and others have Internet task force to push propaganda and limit negative PR.

Votes aren't public in reddit and is a great cover for hiding any coordinated influence. Keep creating new accounts, make it seem natural by posting on random subs, use old accounts for posts/comments and new accounts for votes. To an unsuspecting user, nothing seems out of ordinary.

On ActivityPub all votes are public and manipulation can be detected or analyzed now or in future. Instance admins could check this and see a pattern. And there are many many many instances, so any one might run into something.

Also mod logs are public in lemmy, unlike reddit. Censorship from mods and admins are already a constant cause for drama but makes it a lot more transparent for the community.

So it's less influential. So, they try to dissuade people from making Lemmy and Mastodon less interesting.

I'm not saying it's not possible here, but it's too early and needs a lot more work than reddit. People already do not interact with users from instances they dislike. You already see some patterns in how users of instance behave and avoid them.
