Scottish Government bans use of WhatsApp for official business
Is there some meme I'm unaware of, or are all of these other commenters bots?

Honestly one of my favorite uses for AI at this point. Summarizing videos and extracting key points to scan as opposed to watching long videos.

*HOW* can we coax search-engines in to being able to do the simple "lemmy" + "search word" thing..?
Kagi (a paid search engine) has a "fediverse forums" filter option.

Dev Interviews
Yeah I need to find a new job soon, like things are going Bad at the company and it's not looking good for anyone.
I've wanted to find a new job for well over 6 months, but I just don't have it in me to study after work or on the weekends.
Its like I've got burn out handcuffs or something.

Reddit calls for “a few new mods” after axing, polarizing some of its best
Wild that it's legal for a full on company to publically request free work.
Shit, a majority of interns are paid.

Storage is cheap whwn it comes to webhosting and 3 replicas is honestly not much when it comes to enterprise standards. I think cloud storage providers like backblaze keep something like 9 copies of data across different mediums

"We found a vulnerability..."
There should really be push notifications around installed apps with known vulns... Its tracked here: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/vulnerability-warnings-in-f-droid-app/20505
Could someone with a gitlab account open a feature request on the f droid repo?
I tried to open an account but it required email + cell phone (it picked up my VoIP number) and a credit card....
EDIT: I generated an RSS feed based off of Mozilla's known vuln list. If anyone knows of a better way to do this, please let me know!

Get your new PebbleOS watch
If it's open source, could someone potentially develop an app for it to control devices in home assistant? Would love to be able to control my room lights from my watch, and don't think it's possible on my Xiaomi watch fit 3 connected to gadgetbridge.
I recognize that there would also need to be work done in the app to support this as the watch only supports BLE

Habits of Insects
The appointment of Elon Musk to lead the proposed department of government efficiency raises concerns, given his track record of business management.
His handling of Twitter/X after its $44 billion acquisition has resulted in a significant decline in its value, with some sources putting the valuation around $9bn.
Doesn't seem very efficient to me.

Under a toot announcing that firefox now supports CHIPS (Cookies Having Independent Partitioned State)
Reply in thread
i downloaded it after the news the other day. Presently uploading >200gb of pictures.
Android App has a few quirks, not very snappy, but it looks pretty polished.
The on device ML seems to be pretty accurate once you start tagging people.
We'll see how it handles me throwing the 200gb at it because it was already stuttering a bit when scrolling through ~15gb of pics.
I havent had the chance to spin up an immich instance yet to compare the two.
All in all, we might need to wait for a longer term user to chime in, but as of now to me it seems good enough.
Edit: 2 weeks later. I installed immich on a proxmox node with a rtx 2060 super passed through. it flies compared to ente, which is to be expected as immich isnt e2ee. I will most likely maintain both libraries for now, but Immich is definitely a more complete product.

Reminder to anyone using Mull browser: it is no longer supported and will be missing updates for these android specific CVEs
Reply in thread
That's presently what I'm using, but I have added the mull version of the arkenfox user.js via Firefox devtools.
Fennec does release updates a bit slower than mull did via DivestOS's repo, unfortunately, and doesn't have a build up for these CVE's as of yet. Granted, I don't think FF android has these updates yet, but I feel like I remember Mull's updates making it to my device faster than FF's even, as they didn't need to go through external review processes.

Block ADS On The Internet For Your Entire Family

Not possible at the network level, unfortunately.
On some TVs you can sideload apps that'll do it.
Slightly similar, there is also sponsorblock for TVs, this doesn't need sideloading and is ran on any host on your LAN

GitHub - celenityy/Phoenix: Phoenix is a suite of configurations & advanced modifications for Mozilla Firefox, designed to put the user first - with a focus on privacy, security, freedom, & usability.
I've been using mullvad's browser on my laptop. It's basically tor without the network, and has the lowest bits of identifying information exposed via the EFF test I could find. Havent tried this out though

I skimmed the article, but didn't see any proof that there was a decision made at Mozilla due to her prior activism. Was this just a frivolous lawsuit or am I missing something?

Sure but it allows VOIP numbers. I'm using a jmp.chat number with it just fine.
