If you can find Linux-themed can of beans being produced by an employee-owned cooperative organisation then I think you might hit the jackpot

A hypothetical way to dox someone would be using the extra data available. Maybe they don’t comment much about their particular interests, but they upvote stuff in location-specific communities, downvote people expressing a particular ideology, and anything else that would allow a (ridiculously dedicated) bad actor to work our a lot of personal info about them. Unlikely, but theoretically possible.

Also apparently Lemmy votes are marked as private but any software can choose to just ignore that request, which seems pretty open to abuse.

Copying my own reply from a similar thread last month, the problem is that most users don’t know they’re public:

I think the issue is that many Lemmy users will think more carefully about what they comment than what they up/downvote, as a comment appears connected to your username but a vote doesn’t. You might decide against commenting on something you disagree with because you don’t want to get in a fight, instead just downvoting it, but if people then know if was you who downvoted can still pick the fight.

Basically the issue is you’re revealing a lot more information than you might initially have realised if you’d have known votes were public all along. Maybe a disgruntled person uses that to dox you, or maybe a corpo feeds all that information into their fancy computer system to work out who you might be, who knows.

Yeah I’m going on what it was back in the day (so probably on reddit when it split from privacytools.io). It was the companion sub/community to privacyguides.org (which does post guides) but I guess whoever is moderating it now is fine with news posts too. Not a problem on its own, the only issue is basically what this memes highlights!

!privacyguides@lemmy.one was always meant to be for guides rather than just news

Are you posting an advert, new account with no post or comment history?

Sadly the article is very light on how this actually works. I’m guessing it involves setting up an authenticator on the phone (something they encourage anyway) and just using a QR code as a new way of interacting with it?

No I meant that it’s reasonable for Debian to have waited a while even though other distros have already dropped support

Well yeah, isn’t long term support and stability Debian’s whole thing?

Ooh does Futo have it’s own FOSS swipe-typing implementation?

How does it compare to Heliboard?

I actually use adblock.dns.mullvad.net, I just recommend adguard for beginners as it seems more stable (though I’ve not had a stability issue with mullvad for years)

You can also just set your private DNS to something like dns.adguard.com and block almost all ads in every app, no installs required

My timeline is full of reactive hot takes and gotchas by people who still seem to think they can quote-dunk their way out of fascism—or who know they can’t, but simply can’t resist taking the bait

Whatever happened to “don’t feed the trolls”, eh?

Yeah I understood what you meant by “intransparent” but it’s not something I’ve ever heard anyone say. “Opaque” is the opposite of the literal meaning of transparent, e.g. a window is transparent, a wall is opaque.

To describe information not being shown I’d probably say obfuscated, opaque, or maybe just hidden.

intransparent

Opaque?

AI has become a meaningless buzzword you can apply to anything, so no

From Wikipedia:

Lemmy collected German military regalia; he had an Iron Cross emblazoned on his bass, which led to accusations of Nazi sympathies. He stated that he collected Nazi memorabilia because he liked the way it looked, and he considered himself an anarchist. He spoke against racism many times. Lemmy said he was against religion, government, and established authority. Lemmy defended his collection by saying that if his then-girlfriend (who was black) had no problem with it, nobody else should.

So not completely black-and-white

TL;DR:

1. Using AI to ask your TV questions
2. Spatial 3D sound
3. Integrate your calendar with your TV
4. AI Energy Mode
5. AI picture upscaling

Not just a pointless “AI bad” article, actually some decent (though very brief) points

Summit is pretty good, and the dev is very responsive in !summit@lemmy.world
