It wasn’t for nothing.
Think of the skills you gained and the experience.
All legacy technical posts will remain available so that searching for help related to the browser is still available, but henceforth and until the reddit admins appropriately reply to our concerns, the only new submissions allowed will be ones that contain the cuddly fuzzy little animals from which the subreddit indirectly received its name:
The red panda! Also known as fire foxes.
If you are looking for technical posts, we now have an official community on Kbin. Keep in mind that Lemmy also federates with Kbin. We continue to be around on Matrix as well.
Yay for Firefox!!
I’ve tried to like Mastodon, but each time I end up deleting my account in frustration, vowing never again. Mastodon is horrible to use, and they like it that way.
Only the bots knew of it.
They are not powerless. They have their own choice. Stop going there!
The masterclass link is blocked for me “unreviewed content” with a use the official app message.
As an old fart, Devuan is like debian of yesteryear. Debian without systemd.
Took a long time following links to find:
In order for off.guard to work properly make sure to activate push-notifications for this website in chrome settings and click activate notifications below. Then off.guard will take care of the rest.
So it’s using net access to push info out.
I gave up finding more. Lots of marketing buzz words and little technical details.
This will be saving you typing in +reddit +stackspace on searches. Still the same results.
Wish they’d include a -pinterest option.
I’d say no. Your fooling yourself if you think you can. The best you can do is make it harder, but that is only true compared to computing power. Problems that were hard, are now possible because computing power has increased.
Any one profile could give enough to out you. A textual analysis can tie separate text posted by different accounts to the same person. (Varying degrees of accuracy for this. If anyone would do parse all Lemmy comments to do this is separate issue.)
In short, don’t post anything that might compromise you. But how fruitful are conversations if you’re always hiding anything that might out you? Stick to only non personal stuff? Information about local shops, movies, etc etc can all narrow down your location. But even with that, narrowing down to a town with 50 people in it, is different to a town with 1 million people.
It isn’t only what you post. Someone else can also out you. Someone who knows you, or someone that you don’t know. Your PC can be hacked, etc etc. The options go on and on.
Define what your risk is. Define who your adversaries are. Then plan how to operate with acceptable risk tolerance.
Nobody can anticipate all risks
Then stick to “don’t be online” as you no matter what you do, you can’t anticipate how that will expose you later.
There is no privacy online. Enough incentive your history across accounts, instances, usernames can be combined.
Think about risks instead. Who is going to use your post against you? How much effort are they going to go to? What’s your risk?
If you’re hiding from the a government, best not to be online. If what you post will get you killed, don’t post it.
My guess: It’s the kid dream: a flying car. But the reality, with regulations, bad drivers, limited landing points means it’s not seen as as money maker. More a rich persons toy. And few sales. Flying car = not a great car and a worse plane/helicopter.
TL;DW.
You got a summary?
Expect Reddit to get a lot worse. Glad I’m off it.
old.reddit.com will be the next spez target. Why run it when you can have everyone on the main site.
Lunatics also have money.
A site you pay for has incentive to keep you on their site for ads and data collection. One way to do that is to keep serving data you engage with. So, keeping you in a bubble.
Diversity your sources.
Don’t forget spez lies
Corporations only care about what will drive their share price higher.
Saving money is my guess. Running it is costing more than it makes. Company shuts it down.
