YSK: In addition to Reddit, StackOverflow is on Strike
Always surprised by companies outsourcing all their moderation to unpaid volunteers and then act shocked when they’re ready to pause their work.

Trump’s Consistent Message Online and Onstage: Be Afraid
Honestly, the US is largely safer than it’s ever been. Not sure why this is a constant drumbeat but folks will buy it up, I suppose.

meet.jit.si, the Jitsi Team's instance, now requires a Google, Microsoft, or Facebook account for their online service
Reply in thread
Short answer is that a lot of privacy-focused tools get abused like hell and put these companies in an untenable position. It sounds like Jitsi had something fairly bad happening that would’ve put them in a regulatory pinch.

Having worked at a cloud provider for awhile and also done support, the reasoning is generally that Ubuntu is the “path of least resistance” to getting running. They have a super engaged community and the market share leads to a lot of guides across the web being primarily made for Ubuntu.
To be fair, it also helps that their LTS support is really nice and their repos are a lot closer to up-to-date than a bunch of others.

PSA: You can upload images to a Lemmy instance without anyone knowing
Yeah, this is a big issue. I know Lemmy blew up a bit before it was truly ready for prime time but I hope this cleans up.

Rite Aid "covert surveillance program" falsely ID'd customers as shoplifters, FTC says
The bit about this system flagging a “single person” more than 900 times at over 130 stores without any awareness of it as bunk data is just staggering.

Bungie's short response for the week
Unfortunately, this just kinda looks like another “we promise we’re gonna do something (but not really)”

Tool for Spotify recommendations based on your self-hosted music library
The only thing Spotify has going for it is the way it’s broken down music to the atomic level and given recommendations. Cool to crib some notes there even if I think it can be a bit overbearing when Spotify does it.

Glad to see players finally give a shit now that we got embarrassed in FIBA but so it goes.

The other side of the coin is that veterans have enough sway that they can usually spike deals or become a thorn in the side of any organization receiving him unwillingly.

YSK: about wefwef, a mobile friendly 'Apollo like' Lemmy web app. By far the best mobile experience I have tried so far.
Holy shit. I’m always shocked when PWAs are this good.

The worst part is how fractured games already are and how this will incentivize it. There’s already Amazon, Peacock, and whatever bullshit you’re dealing with on cable which is impossible to understand. Even the Sunday Ticket doesn’t cover all of your team’s games and that shit’s so overpriced.

I straight up turned this off in the third since it was hard watching the equivalent of a child being stuffed in a locker.

Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain
I use Fastmail and it’s pretty reasonable, has some nice tie-ins with 1Password, alias emails, etc.

Unable to subscribe to federated communities on lemmy.ml
Reply in thread
Certainly the reason why I'm here. I'm very bullish on ActivityPub and the fediverse. There's just some established communities over on lemmy.ml that I was hoping to subscribe to but I'm sure I'll just have to give it some time. Thanks!

Went to a wedding, they had a poet dressed like a fox, you give him a word and he writes a poem... I chose 'espresso'
This is actually a surprisingly good poem for a jokester at a wedding.

All communities have 3k or (number)k.
Seeing this too. I’ll have to hang on for the TestFlight version to make it to App Store.

This is the worst part to me. All this just to “cloud sync” or something silly.
