otter,

Does the order get shuffled each time?

Sounds like a really spammy and annoying way to promote an app. I assume someone else who has your phone number signed up on their app and gave access to all their contacts. Then the app sends out spam texts to get you to sign up.

Depending on where you are located, you might be able to report it. Otherwise just drop them a bad review, or name and shame them here

edit, I assume it’s this: slickapp.co

I feel like avoiding them or waiting might end up with a situation where some group of humans causes irreversible harm because they think they know better.

Once enough deliberation has been done and we’re ready to act in good faith, we should probably make contact and set a good precedent quickly. Maybe then we can guide future interactions in a more positive way?

otter,

Also you CAN get your workplace to shift over to something else.

Not every workplace will change procedures, but some will. Especially if it’s software that handles local data or if there are high costs or privacy risks, they can be convinced.

Well companies continue to get new software and learn new skills. They might not switch as soon as you suggest it, but it could get revisited later on when renewing a contract.

This also depends a lot on the size of the team and the work that’s being done. If required features are missing or there are compatibility issues, then that’s one thing. If people prefer the other product, or enough workers share similar views on the topic, then it’s easier to switch.

Again it doesn’t happen all the time, but it’s worth bringing up. If anything, it shows you’re thinking about how to improve your work and the business (financially, ethically). I’ve seen times when changes were made, and I’ve seen times when it wasn’t.

The support thing is a fair point, where companies would rather outsource risk than self host the thing. In that case it’s a matter of picking the most trustworthy company to outsource to. Best case scenario, the other company is doing things just as well as yours would have with the added benefit that they’re focussed on doing one thing well.

Does this exist?? Messaging platform with a panic button from any member.

Basically I am looking for a messaging platform like signal or? but with anonymous signup, perfect forward secrecy, capable of video chat, sending photos the usual uses in today’s life. But with a panic button. So that any party member could use said button to wipe all other members devices of any data instantly inside the...

otter,

Note with Snapchat that, it just gets hidden

You can find comments from people where old messages and images start popping back up because of bugs in the app. Snapchat is near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to privacy and security, despite the premise

Found the original! You can edit your post to swap it in with a link to the artist:

Anyone else feels like they want to destroy their old sim and never give their contact to anyone ever again?

If signal gets the new username feature, this just might be what i do, so fricking tired of people just blindly giving random apps and websites their contact permissions and they get my contact as well, and there’s nothing i can do about it

otter,

Oh I didn’t realize that was you. Hopefully they knock it off soon 😄

otter,

It’s funny I just came from this post, which I suspect is this exact problem. Spammy apps collecting contact details and then tricking more people into signing up:

otter,

Well, there aren’t any working toilets anymore

Maybe this will help with the smell

otter,

Yep this post is getting a downvote

He wants this message out there, why help

otter,

Yea I’m pretty sure this is what OP heard about, it’s a common tidbit that gets shared

Ownership wasn’t secret then, and it’s not secret now. What happened then was that they bought transit things and shut them down. That COULD happen now too, but it would happen pretty publicly

They do lobby governments though

otter, (edited )

do an AMA, sockpuppeting as someone else

otter,

It doesn’t have to be current news, I was thinking any events might work

I’m also trying to keep this open to see if it affects community growth, open to seeing what people want to do

otter,

What are napkins but unstitched socks

otter,

Historical sounds good too, it might be easier and in better taste too

The example post was from the early days of Reddit

otter,

Sorry the post was unclear, I just clarified. Doodling on a napkin was an example of post format, to show that it doesn’t need to be very detailed :)

otter,

Thanks!

otter,

How does this process work, and can it be abused?

Since the torrent file is small and doesn’t contain all the data in the file itself. Can you download a file, modify it maliciously, then seed that?

otter,

The subreddit for your field may be the best for now

If it’s CS/tech, Lemmy career communities might work, the other fields are not as full yet

otter,

Cool!

Consider crossposting to !publichealth :)

Question about Android. Is there a way to replace the system file manager on non-rooted devices?

When you need to upload a photo to a photo hosting site through a browser, the system file manager opens. When choosing a photo for editing, this also happens through the file manager built into Android. Is there a way to force applications to open my preferred file manager instead of the system one?

otter, (edited )

You should probably ask this on !askandroid

This isn’t the community for specific personal questions

otter,

Community blocking happens on Lemmy so I think it should be possible regardless

For anyone else reading about this :)

otter, (edited )

Ah yea I meant it for Lemmy. I was originally thinking of something like this

Some people use also Reddit when they don’t have a Lemmy community for a topic. Once a community pops up, this could be how they are reminded of it
