Thank goodness, the fan has a mind of it’s own sometimes.

He seems to be active in replies to his own posts. I recall him being frustrated by a lack of tools available for high follower accounts like they apparently offer on Twitter.

This was an unusual (For Alec) and remarkable episode. I found it very inspiring. Also Alec is one of the few YouTubers I know of on Fedi. @TechConnectify@mas.to

I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be “self hosted”? When it’s carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?

Love to see the people in here gatekeeping “selfhosting” 🙄

We’re all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn’t suddenly stop becoming “selfhosted” once the hard drive it’s on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.

Yeah I saw that… not really what I would consider a “web backup” exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.

If I was the tyrant king of Lemmy I would force all communities to do this

I can’t find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.

It’s my understanding that anything doing this would also need to also emulate Chromecast, since the “cast” buttons inside the Amazon Prime/Netflix/Spotify/etc apps uses the proprietary Chromecast protocol.

No a pro-piracy argument, but most artists get fractions of a penny from the sales of media anyway. Only the biggest stars are paid a fair share of the profits. I always try to find a way to support directly or use a platform (bandcamp, steam) that adds some value and gives a majority to the creator.

Back up an image the entire operating system HD when it’s working well. If you ever get overwhelmed with bugs you can always go back to a functioning state.

We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.

From ArsTechnica:

According to DuckDuckGo, chats on the service are anonymized, with metadata and IP address removed to prevent tracing back to individuals. The company states that chats are not used for AI model training, citing its privacy policy and terms of use.

“We have agreements in place with all model providers to ensure that any saved chats are completely deleted by the providers within 30 days,” says DuckDuckGo, “and that none of the chats made on our platform can be used to train or improve the models.”

So there is some trust involved, but I’m inclined to believe DDG.

Stock Android pretty much does, but it isn’t what you think it is..

Not a mod but from what you’ve said it sounds like your post was satirical, which violates the “on topic” rule.

For what it’s worth, THIS thread violates that rule too.

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for altering what was previously not a restricted feature. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

I agree OP has a right to be upset, but this post has nothing to do with privacy.

There’s no need to get upset. If you truly are having difficulty understanding my feelings on the topic and are asking in good faith, I’ll explain it one more time:

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for it’s services. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

Whatever mine or your feelings on the topic, it has nothing to do with privacy.

It’s empty venting, and the topic is not about privacy in a meaningful capacity, it’s about a business model.

Allowing venting/drama/gossip threads in a community over time will push out the people (like myself) who care about the actual community topic. And when those people are gone what’s left is a cesspit.

Hey mods just saying… I think a lot of us would appreciate having rules against posts like these.

Although I think I’m doing something wrong and the memory in modern games is just dynamic so the correct location can’t be found with just the memory addresses.

OK that’s the same thing I was suspecting. I noticed the memory addresses had similar names, but there was no way to search for partial addresses or anything.
