Also, could you please update the title of your fediverse post? The article now says 21k πŸ™‚

β€œCan’t share item,” was the header. β€œYou cannot share this item because it has been flagged as inappropriate,” read the body text.

FAFO.

We've been fanfaring for a decade and a fucking half for people not to see "the cloud" as a miracle solution, and to use it carefully. We've been warning that it is a blatant invitation to vendor lock in, that it is singlehandedly creating oligopolies, and that exactly this would happen.

Did people listen? No. Did they aggressively confront (or passive-aggressively ostracise) us? You bet your bottom dollar they did.

And now? Now they come around with surprised_pika.gif faces and whine to whoever listens that they are victims, and that they couldn't "possibly have seen this coming".

No. They are enablers of abusers, they themselves abused anyone with even a modicum of common sense, and they brought this upon themselves a thousand times over.

FAFO. And at this point, reading such story fills me with the most powerful schadenfreude I have ever experienced.

It is one of the most private implementations of AI that I've seen though.

Based on what information/criteria?

((10 Γ— 55) + (6.25 Γ— 170) βˆ’ (5 Γ— 55)) βˆ’ 161 = 1176.5

((10 Γ— 59) + (6.25 Γ— 170) βˆ’ (5 Γ— 55)) βˆ’ 161 = 1216.5

((10 Γ— 59) + (6.25 Γ— 168) βˆ’ (5 Γ— 55)) βˆ’ 161 = 1204

66 "inches" is 167.64 cm. Maybe, at some point, let's stop using bullshit units. People are bad enough already at math without that...

So I was right. It is about the controller...

I mean, if the Europeans knew just how much of our taxes are sent straight to Microsoft by administrations, they would see tax hikes differently...

Usually people use Hugo.

But I would be very interested in a less contrived alternative.

Thanks for doing this.

With a 52% percent mortality rate, this might well be the last such opportunity. One way or another. 😬

But use the widows version and the proton layer. The Linux version is horribly coded.

I would not call that a "privacy proxy", it is very disingenuous. It is a normal proxy, which replaces the technical metadata from your connection, so that automated tracking is harder. But it will not replace or remove any of your input. And you can easily be tracked that way too.

 

Edit: I was searching for a "meta" community, since this is a post on Lemmy about current Lemmy limitations... But it turns out that this might very well be off topic. I apologise if it is the case... I would gladly take suggestions on what community would be best for this post, BTW.

Nobody posted it, I waited, but since this is pretty relevant, here it is.

Some updates I got from threadreaderapp:

Hello everyone,

I have discovered SimpleX Chat (nothing to do with XChat or HexChat, or the favorite letter of some dumb billionaire), and it appears being a legit good effort at providing good privacy while retaining "mainstream" usability.

And it has been audited (by one company so far, it seems).

The only concern I have is with regards to battery life (given that it has to maintain roughly as many open connections as you have contacts, AFAICT).

Has anyone here used it? Any opinion?
