Please voluntary redundancy google staff. Please

(Realistically I know this is a tall ask considering this is people’s livelihoods we’te talking about)

Sign me up babyyyyy

Hiring one extra person, for an agency that covers hundreds of millions of people? I’m gonna go out there and say yes, that is reasonable to expect. Sure, uptake is low now, but network effect is responsible for that, now when people are moving from Twitter is the exact time to encourage people to change to something better.

The European Commission has its head on straight, that they are being a first mover on Mastodon, because putting critical communication infrastructure in the hands of a private company is silly long term.

I’m not doubting your reasoning as to why this agency hasn’t bothered, but it’s not convincing that it’s reasonable.

I’d have no problem with them making Bluesky account, but why not both that and spinning up a Mastodon server?

It’s just short-sighted

A bit of a hacky workaround on Android. Get Keepass2Android, use the included keyboard.

“Paste” whatever via the inbuilt password input functionality. It basically auto types out your passwords. (You protect this behind a master password/and optionally quick accessed by biometrics)

Profit

“Something something FTC unconstitutional, not even sarcastically” - these oligarchs

Unfortunately none of these are end-to-end encrypted (I believe). Thanks though!

Nooooooo! That sounded perfect. The app is still up but it’s entirely missing from their website :(

Thanks for sharing

Close, but it appears admins of instances have access to your info, sadly :/

My problem with decentralised social Media currently is that it’s entirely unencrypted and publically viewable.

I don’t mind so much on services like Lemmy where it’s a bit of fun to make comments and post random things without it being directly linked to your identity (though I am aware the content is still likely being scraped by someone somewhere).

I’d really love a Facebook/Instagram replacement, but end-to-end encrypted where only the people you’ve given permission to can view your content.

No idea how this would be achieved, but PixelFed is pretty useless unless you’re posting publically.

How is this a good argument? The law from the post being stupid notwithstanding, by this logic, why bother making any regulations or laws at all if someone, somewhere is gonna break it.

Are you aware of how much of society is held together with the duct tape of social obligation and the honestly system? Yes we have audits, and enforcement, but honestly in a health society, the vast majority is self-imposed.

This is a really poor argument against government regulation, is all I’m saying.

It boggles the mind how many times a higher up comes up with some idea (in any context, not just politicians), and never stops to answer the question: “how is this going to work?”.

She’ll be right mate, don’t worry about it 🇦🇺

I wonder how long it will be before the white house issues a 9 dash line Trump has hastily marked up with a red permanent marker.

And Windows 8/10 didn’t take features away for no reason. (Or at least, they didn’t insist on them for too long, with the windows 8 desktop fiasco)

You will take my top taskbar from my cold dead hands Microsoft, who the fuck signed off on this? They actively shutdown any forum threads on it too.

Off to Linux we go.

Other than at work, where I have no choice :(

In the early days of brave it was glorious. Set up max notification on my phone, set to minimise notifications - profit.

Literally cashed out like $100 this way over the span of about 6 months, before the rugpull, I assume. Ads paying out way less now.

It was hilarious. For me. The ads were (and I believe still are) primarily advertising other shitcoins hahaha

Edit: I should note, I used Tasker and did not have to see a single ad.

To say what others have said in a different way. Yes, in almost any categorisation system, you’re gonna need to deal with some misc haha.

Where else could these things possibly go? (minus the scales, which in my opinion belong on some flat surface in a cupboard of countertop somewhere, since I use my scales all the time)

We have one of these drawers at home, also. I think your wife is right on this one friend.

Because it’s no big loss if we end up getting banned, so as another commenter said. Laziness

And unless mods are being massive weirdos by checking how we’re behaving in the comment sections of other instance’s communities, then it’s even less likely we’ll be banned anyway.

So for now, I do nothing.

And express my total non-sadness at this CEO’s, and probably many other CEO’s deaths.

I’m not for the death penalty, but they sure as hell deserve it.

This is so bizarre. Clown school? Gold plated gun?

And to top it off, an American with no concept of laws being different outside the US

It’s not even mob justice, it’s vigilante justice. It just so happens in this case practically everyone is pretty happy about it having happened.

The mob never called for this CEO’s death, we’re just not sad he was killed. Even if in general most of us wouldn’t actively call for people to be killed.

If it makes CEOs afraid, then fantastic, a nice happy side-bonus.

People should lie about as much as possible to most companies they interact with online anyway (obviously don’t lie to your bank, or doctor, or whatever). Do always, without fail, lie randomly about your age, gender, address (if it’s not relevant) or anything else that’s not actually needed to provide the service.

Why does it feel like this comment section is assuming someones values based on their enjoyment of works of fiction haha

I like both for different reasons. And I don’t think that really says much about my values at all

It’s entertainment, people!
