otter, to privacyguides in If you can create a Lemmy instance and federate, you can shovel data about every vote linked to an account

Appreciate the thoughts, it gives me more to think about. I’ve also been avoiding controversial subject matter and I think I’ll avoid it even more now.

I do think the Fediverse needs to improve privacy and ease of use for alts. I’ve seen a lot of stuff over the years on Reddit that an authoritarian government would love to get their hands on. I guess the fediverse, by design, can’t be private? I worry that someone who doesn’t know better will get hurt because they don’t understand the risks.

All the more reason to join trusted instances with solid admins, and to keep your Lemmy profile separate from your real identity.

A possible workflow right now might be to browse on one account, and post comments from another. Boost on Reddit made that easier, but I don’t think the Lemmy one does that yet

Oh huh

Well that might discourage people from voting…

I think the table should be off site on a guide website

As for the rendering, which app are you using? I’ve found that too (Boost misses most rendering for me)

otter, to comicstrips in ‘RANDOM FLUFF 40’ [OC]

I love it, even better that it’s OC 😊

otter, to comicstrips in He's not wrong... (cooperlit comics)

Interesting, could you share more on how that works? Is it a neurological change or more of a physical “clogging”

otter, (edited ) to linux in Firefox needs a 180° turn to full privacy out of the box. - Feddit

Also I’d rather there was a separate option for additional privacy than it be the default.

People who want the extra privacy can usually figure out what they need and how to get it. The average person will just switch back to chrome when websites break. They wont be able to figure out which settings to toggle off in order to fix the site

Keep Firefox useful for most people while also building more privacy friendly features.

If it’s something people SHOULD be using, have a popup explaining it and let people decide

otter, (edited ) to linux in Firefox Development Is Moving From Mercurial To Git

Could be familiarity? I saw an article go by recently about how projects that aren’t on GitHub suffer from lack of contributions. Although that matters more for smaller projects, Mozilla is a beast and could probably pull people off GitHub if it wanted to.

Also if anyone should be trying to build up an alternative to GitHub, it should be Mozilla

otter, to piracy in Which is the best piracy option of a streaming adapter in the market?

I saw that some people put emulators on them and thought it might be cool to have.

I’ll be honest, I don’t quite understand the hardware side of it and where the bottleneck will be

otter, to piracy in Which is the best piracy option of a streaming adapter in the market?

Sorry, I read they might not make any newer models and that they’re leaving the market (I read it somewhere on Lemmy).

Since the hardware is going to get more dated, I was curious what good alternatives are out there. Feels like there’s an audience for them

otter, to piracy in Which is the best piracy option of a streaming adapter in the market?

Since they’re not making them anymore, what might be the next best thing in the future? Anything to look forward to?

otter, to linux in How to choose a computer/laptop/device that is better compatible with linux? Are there certain things to look out for when shopping?

A key one is batteries

Dell, and other brands, sometimes have it so the device will reject all third party batteries. It has to be one made by Dell.

Meanwhile they stop selling the battery for older devices, which is usually when you need one of those batteries.

otter, to linux in Audacity 3.4 Released with Music Workflows, New Exporter, and More

There was a Lemmy post with a video about how things have changed, which I even commented on, but I can’t find anymore.

What I remember was that yes they did address most of the concerns. There were some issues still (unrelated to data collection iirc), and there’s one other fork that’s being maintained if you don’t want that

Edit: I think the was the video, I don’t want to watch it again but I’ll link my TLDW if I find it: m.youtube.com/watch?v=QfmDn1IaDmY

otter, to asklemmy in What chromium based browser do you recommend and why?

That’s not what they asked though, they’re already using Firefox and they don’t intend to drop it

otter, to lemmybewholesome in After watching the 2nd episode of 11th season of Futurama, I googled "Futurama S11E02 discussion" (without quotes) and Lemmy.world was the 2nd result. We can do it, guys.

I assumed that the people over in the DataHoarder communities had archives running this whole time. There’s probably data out there somewhere, it’s a matter of getting it into a usable hosted state
