Most americans kids don’t know and what they do know they don’t hold that negative an opinion of as you do. America is still better than most of the world for a child.


I mean it was fine when it evolved over decades, now it’s just a parody of itself





That’s nonsense, bitwarden is great for privacy and the best password manager for casual users.




It’s because the youtubers coming over only agreed for their content to be viewed on tilvid.com, not other instances so they owner follows that.




Vivaldi and Edge are closed source internet browsers and similar as far as privacy goes.

I’m sorry, this is just not true, just look at their privacy policies. They are not even in the same league.

That aside, the owner has said he plans to take it to court. Maybe we will finally know what happened.



I mean, they clearly care, they do run privacy guides and some other stuff and that one comment doesn’t really prove otherwise. But they are a weird bunch with what tools they allow and what posts. I lost respect for them when they allowed a post to stay up claiming vivaldi is “worse than edge” for privacy.


This is true, unfettered capitalism is likely to lead to safety standards being compromised and further accidents. I do not think that is reason to stop pursuing it as a solution. Capitalism is also a tool to improve nuclear power, making it vastly cheaper, safer and more efficient.


I hope in time to create a wiki giving a high level overview of why nuclear power is viable w/ sources.


The community was created to promote knowledge of nuclear power, to discuss it’s potential use and perhaps break down some misconceptions around it. It seems you are not inclined to give us the opportunity to do that.



This is merely a product of people not being aware of / understanding federation.


Not recursive, just a long chain of them.




This guy contradicts himself, does he think the US should intervene or shouldn’t? This is rambling rant more than an argument with any point.





It’s simpler than that. They’re paid nothing. It’s of their own accord. It’s kind of sad.



Just read the sidebar:

Feel free to announce new communities here.

Other than that, this is reserved for admin use only.


I don’t think this is an appropriate community for this news



My keyboard app has allows you to undo autocorrect with a swipe, so I generally leave it on. Allows me to type probably ~2.5x as fast.



I think you’re spot on with account thing. When I first came to the fediverse, I thought the distributed system was cool, but then I saw the interoperability between different software and though ok, but why would I want to?

If someone posts a peertube video within the medium of lemmy, I also want to discuss it within the medium of lemmy, after all, there’s a reason they posted it here. I want to do it in this community, using this identity. If I wanted to comment on peertube, I would go to peertube.

So the only benefit I saw was that you could use one account for all my social media, as convenience. But of course, that’s not how it works. The interoperability is just a half baked sending messages thing. Because they are fundamentally different platforms not carefully designed to work perfectly with every other platform in the fediverse. There’s no central account, you sign up for a specific software, on someone’s instance.


Not likely. Facebook would have done this with or without Mozilla (also the proposal is made by facebook/mozilla, but it’s for everyone), so Mozilla serves the part of the guiding hand.


If you want something like the linux kernel, then those forks also have to be profitable enough to support firefox.


That’s true, though I’m not sure if Mozilla even intends to use this proposal they’re making.


I don’t think there’s any anti-mozilla, pro-chromium squads roaming the wilds, but yeah, Mozilla has not fallen, they’re just working on a spec, with engineers from facebook, to enhance privacy.

The reason why I said it’s a good thing: do you honestly trust the likes of facebook/google to design something privacy oriented, even if their intentions are entirely honest? No, of course not. Regardless of their intention, they have been built, as companies on principles opposing such design. They had to be. They don’t have the people, the experience, the methodology, the principles etc.

So it’s great to see them joined by someone who does (Mozilla) who I’m sure they’ll respect if they want to have the proposal accepted not just by W3C, but the greater community.


It’s an apt comparison, but do you want complete abolishment of all forms of telemetry, tracking or advertising? Or perhaps more relevant, is that Mozilla’s goal? I don’t think so. See this post by them.


Even if they don’t live up to your standards, you can agree they are way ahead of the competition.



Many people are upset about this, but it is in my opinion an excellent thing. Mozilla and Facebook are working together to improve one aspect of Facebook’s privacy

It’s not like Mozilla is shilling and getting paid off, as some people seem to think.

This is how privacy is really improved, by working with the companies and governments that have power in the space, not by sitting in your cave using only librewolf and tor, and refusing to use anything you don’t build from source and self host.

That only helps you at best, and the privacy abusers (google, facebook) will just ignore you.



Because the article is asking them to aknowledge the issues with the way they act, the way we act, and they don’t want to do that so they get mad.


It can get tiring to do it with every post.

It’s fine if you keep in the same tab by default, but would you consider adding an option?




On a side note, lemmy really needs a url preview limit, for instances like this in which the youtuber puts the entire video script in the description.


There’s a key difference: nfts deal with ownership on the blockchain, whereas foss deals with ownership legally. Nfts are just a token and a url. Turning an anything into an nft just means you have certificate saying you own the original “authentic” copy, but in no way limits people from viewing, modifying or distributing the source.



From the article:

Basically this Rust-written, MPL-2.0 licensed software aims to automatically configure the kernel’s CFS scheduler and dynamically deal with process priorities

That is, it’s not an entirely different thing. It wouldn’t make much sense for system 76 to directly add it to the kernel, so I guess it’s a sort of extension…



Making a token account for it works, except in countries where they require ID.




Why does the instances list have peertube sites?
The instances list currently seems to be mostly lemmy instances with a couple of peertube sites like tilvids and framatube for some reason. I am confused as to why. The idea is to link *lemmy* instances, is it not? We don't yet have federation with peertube yet do we?

Do you want Lemmy to become mainstream?
Some people might find the answer to be obvious (yes) but I've rarely found it so. In fact, this is a question I often find in the linux community (regarding linux going mainstream, not lemmy) and people are pretty split upon it. On one hand, you may get benefits like more activity, more content, more people to interact with, a greater chance you'll find someone to talk to on some specific subject. On the other, you could run into an eternal September like reddit, where Lemmy would lose its culture, and have far more spam and moderation issues. I don't know, what do you think?
