Other me's:@Auster | @Auster1 | @Auster(I have other alts, but if a profile claims to be me, doubt it)

  • Not quite the same thing, but maybe run a Hollos instance instead? Yet to test, but supposedly it runs on your phone by what they market.

    Also seen two other minimalist projects implementing ActivityPub. Let me see if I can find them.

  • DMs maybe? Also seen dessalines being active on Github a while back

  • Politicians often have social accounts, so people could pressure through those as well (POLITELY, I may add). If you know a given politician is more pro-privacy, ask to give more attention to the given laws, and to build more support among the other representatives. And if the given politician is somewhere betwenn anti-privacy and apathetic to it, argument against the law, and maybe remind of the possibility of recalls if California allows (iirc they do though) depending on how the representative is representing the people or not.

  • Strong-arming a measure across several states in a federation, and across many countries across the globe, doesn't make the measure democratic.

    Also if any countries go through a "Brazilfication", might I suggest to check what happens whenever a big leak happens in Brazil?

    About a good legal standard, doesn't most of the world have one already? Something like "presumption of innocence", instead of "presumption of guilt", I think?

    About already leaking information, please enlighten me how facilitating and standardizing it helps in any when. Also the more bloated an entity, the state included, is, the more enticing it is for attackers, which also brings the next point...

    To my knowledge, fascism went by the motto "all within the state, nothing out of the state, all for the state", which would also be what fascia (strip) from partido fascista alludes to. And with that in mind, surveillance was used to supress dissidence, which also happened in Germany around the same time, and that Orwell warned about communism in 1984. Creating a state-run surveillance network bodes very badly, if you ask me.

    And still about fascism, I'm always suspicious when it's mentioned in a discussion as it's often used to label and demonize those the speaker disagrees with.

    And surprised that the "think about the children" argument used by modern regimes with similar practices only appeared as down as point 5.

    Also please enlighten me also how slipery slope doesn't apply, as the paragraph about it doesn't seem to touch in the hows.

    And about the last paragraph, it sounds awfully like an "appeal to autority" argument.

    If I must find a positive side of this whole situation, is that it's giving such a big exposure to this ongoing privacy issue that even those that applauded, quietly benefitted and/or pretended it wasn't real need to shift their positions, giving more space for those who push against the issue.

  • Makes me think, in the lack of such a function, perhaps if a site like https://lemmyverse.net/communities has a public API, maybe an integration could be added on the user's side with browser extensions?

  • If the OP finds a post from another instance, he/she can put it in the text field of his/her instance's search (at lemmy.world/search for the OP) to search/get the local ("federared") version of the post.

    Also, here are some communities the OP may find interesting to subscribe to, to help with discoverability:

    And not relevant to the OP since Lemmy doesn't support small posts ("microblogging", e.g. Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon's), but for people on compatible instances, following these two may help too:

  • Country roads, take me home

  • So in short, according to their head of publishing ans communications, Pocketpair is pushing spin offs because there's player demand in the market.

  • But worth noting patience ≠ anomy. People should keep pushing for keeping the system open, but understanding it's a marathon, not a sprint or watching someone else run for you.

  • Dunno if it's related, but the instance seems to be having issues receiving federated contents from some instances for nearly 2 months now.

  • With the barrage of news of the opposite, it's good to see some company seemingly being upfront and rewarding users for training their tech. Just hope they don't do an 180° turn while showing the finger. 🫣

  • Also worth noting, what breaks for Youtube integration usually seems to be on Youtube's side, meaning every player is affected.

  • You sent the comment twice.

  • First optional but gets pushed more and more until it's mandatory.

  • Linux was born out of manually making drivers to see how hardware works, which after putting enough together, Linus noticed he had a kernel.

    Meanwhile, people pushing code they don't understand are more often than not breaking the programs they "help" with.

    I'd suggest studying low level coding to at least be able to audit others' codes, including LLMs', let alone to publish comnputer-generated codes.

  • So "modern" design that has too much wasted space and "mobile"-fied fields? That's actually my original discontent with Facebook and Reddit, so glad I never made a home out of Stackoverflow.

  • I've tried to convince people that were both stubborn and lazy. From experience I can say, chances of convincing are slim. At best, poke him a few times and leave it quiet until he has some issue with Windows, and even then, when suggesting Linux again, don't insist too much or be too forceful.

  • Reminds me there are a few used bookstores in nearby big cities. Maybe I should travel to some on a development books hunt at some point...
