Any chance of lemmy being recognized as an official community?
  • The only problem is there could be 20 of these communities across Lemmy. Which one would be the "official" one?

    You'd have to invite the Proton social team to participate first, and hope they find value here.

    Edit: SL has a mastodon account, I think Proton does as well even though its not listed.

  • Sorry I'm not smart enough to understand what you're inferring.

    Corporate tax rates go up, company lays off workers and moves to a less-taxed jurisdiction.

  • Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn
  • Its okay if you work for Google, you can just say so.

    Or you are naive and gullible.

  • No more complex than opening a bank account, and finding a way to get cash to put in it, whether that's getting a job, prostitution, selling things, etc.

    It sounds complex, but so is becoming a millionaire.

  • Means both parties have to agree to be recorded (usually at the onset of a call).

    "Be advised, this call is recorded for quality assurance purposes" at which point you could hang up. The 4th Amendment still applies in America, regardless of what local cops and prosecutors believe. You have a right to privacy in two-party conversations.

  • Let's talk about wiretapping laws and states where two-party consent is required to record a call.

    Where I live, I must notify the other party that I am recording. If not, it's illegal. Also, any audio recorded without consent is not admissible in court.

    Question - Android / GrOS certs

    So, this may be G-custom OS specific, or Android generally.

    I was looking through the security settings, and when going to Settings-Security-More-Encryption and Credentials, I see that there are a plethora of CA Root certs installed. I recognize some (Digicert, Comodo, etc), but there are a lot that are just numbers and letters, and some from Beijing China, etc.

    I don't recall ever installing ANY certs, so I suppose these are all preinstalled (they show under the System tab, not the User tab.)

    Can they be installed by regular apps?

    I disabled any that weren't recognizable like Amazon, Google, Digicert, and Comodo.

    Are these dozens of other Certs necessary, and are they safe to be on my device? Are they preinstalled with G-Custom OS, or did they somehow sneak into my system settings?

    I have too much to do a factory reset at this point and it would only be a last resort.

    I also have Mullvad, Proton, and a personal WG vps on my phone, would those add certs to the "storage"?

    I know I named brands in here but I'm not promoting anything, I don't want to break something making changes, that's all.

    Thanks in advance.

    Keep This Under Wraps For Now

    I want to know what was running through the mind of the first guy who thought up mummies. Some guy just came along and said "You know what we need? Dead bodies to last longer! C'mon, who's with me?”

    We might need them to still look good in case they DO reanimate, or maybe Picture Day in the afterlife?

    I wonder how much time it took from the proof of concept to the first successful mummification? Trial and error and such. And how did they quantify a success? Dig them up every year to check?

    Privacy / Browsers on Android

    Chromium (Cromite) - no sync of any kind. Otherwise, no complaints except the menu item bloat.

    FF Stable - no about:config, comes with a ton of things that need turned off.

    FF Beta/Nightly/Mull - has FFSync, but missing Chrome's rotate-to-fullscreen functionality.

    All Android Browsers - too many menu items.

    FF: Customize, What's New, Help, Addons should all be under Settings. Chromium also has full menu that mostly is never used. View Source on a mobile browser...really why?

    It doesnt make much sense to have a movable toolbar if you still have to use both hands to get to the bookmarks button/menu. I'd be happy with either an organized, uncluttered menu, or one where certain items could be hidden/removed from the main menu.

    Brave - I wish I could stick with them. Everything works and they have it all. Full non-Google sync, better video playback control, nicer UI, dual toolbars. I just can't with the way they operate, adding bad features and then saying oops every time.

    How do we get the perfect browser?

    In my mind, it looks like Cromite, has the internals of FF (gecko engine), FOSS, can rotate the phone into full screen video, with sync implemented. And of course all privacy settings setup like Mull.

    Anyone else spot this unicorn?

    Not a shower thought

    Mods, please don't let this community turn into a lemmy support channel. There's probably 20 others.

    Super Long Play

    Back in my day, you had to know exactly how long, in minutes, three separate movies were in length to see if they'd fit on one cassette.

    Recording VHS tapes was a unknowingly wild time in human history.

    What was the catalyst for the entire show?

    Was it the Brains, that attempted to gain all knowledge in the universe?

    Which then motivated Nibbler to set up Fry to be frozen?

    Issues and Suggestions
    1. Tell people at the top of a Community that posting is only allowed by admins before someone types a wall if text only for it to be deleted.

    2. Failed posts should go back to the edit screen so that person can copy that text wall to try to post it somewhere else.

    Instance Size

    We talk about sending new users to smaller instances to spread the load. We don't want one instance becoming the centralized default.

    Add code to put in a hard cap on users, somewhere between 100-500k.

    OR

    A community Instance Owner Pact that each Instance would close registration at a specific number.

    Additionally, would it be beneficial for instance health to have an account pruning feature that would auto delete any account that has made no interaction (post/comment/upvote/etc) within maybe a year?

    Is there a button, or menu somewhere that allows a Community creator or mod to view a list of subscribers? All I can see is the stats of how many, etc.

    It should be noted somewhere on the login screen, maybe with an asterisk, that beehaw.org is not fully federated, restricted, however it needs to be termed.

    App Refresh

    So, let's say I'm reading something in a community and then I have to switch to a different app. Upon reopening, Jerboa does not stay at that particular spot, instead going back to the home screen with the saved sort settings. Is this by design or is it just a me problem?
