Have you ever taken something home from a workplace without permission, to keep it?

Working for a tech company, working from home is allowed. Each employee receive a monitor, mouse, keyboard,… to be able to work from home. During Covid, my wife who is working for a social organisation, had to work from home, on a super small pc without any equipment provided. One day, I went to my office, took a screen and went back home with it. We still have it now. #wishRobinHood

I also took a bowl to put water for my cat.

Because it is not true. WhatsApp maybe encrypted but not if you allow apple/Google backup and there is multiple known cases of backdoor.

And telegram is encrypted. The End to end encryptions has to be activated in 1 to 1 messaging if wanted. But, still, messages are encrypted for other messaging. Also, in my country my phone number is directly liked to my name, by law. As such, Telegram offer way more privacy and security than Signal or WhatsApp as there is the possibility to use a username and hide the phone number.

And anyway, most of people don’t really care. Telegram is better as it offer way more features.

Lemmy.world starting guide

Hello ! For those like me that do not understand the sentences « Lemmy is a federated platform for news aggregation » nor « it means Lemmy is using a protocol which makes it possible for al Lemmy servers to interact », there is a good explanation here: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances (Link from https://join-lemmy.org/instances)

Like emails companies (gmail, outlook,…) you have multiple Lemmy server (Lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml,…) than can communicate ( you can send an email from Gmail to Outlook).

So by register on one Lemmy server, you can interact on all Lemmy servers ( depending on server configuration, still) and then have access to multiple communities (aka subreddit)

Struggling to get into Lemmy

I had the same feeling. Then I realise that we don’t have shitpost but quality post.

There is less, but more valuable. As a consequence as well there is way less toxicity, which is quite nice.

It makes looking at Lemmy more relaxing that scrolling Reddit, imo.
