otter,

Cool!

Alternate link because some apps don’t support those links yet: LINK

Also considering promoting the community on !communitypromo

otter,

This is one that came to mind when writing the question 😄

otter,

Ah ok, I think they haven’t federated over for me. I’ll keep an eye out for more :)

otter,

Great advice, and thank you for answering the question :)

Are these being posted to Mastodon as well?

Edit: Oop just saw the previous one

otter,

Followup question 2: What are some questions you have that you want to see done by someone? (In case this prompts someone to think of a channel)

Enjoy exploring! Hope you find it to be a good experience

Eventually you might find that you’re coming back to the PrivacyGuides.org page, that’s what most people recommend these days as a starting point for recommended tools. There are a lot of companies out there advertising privacy and security without actually PROVIDING privacy and security. It’s becoming a new buzzword

www.privacyguides.org/en/

You don’t have to take my word for it though, just keep exploring and learning :)

otter,

I was linking to a page where someone unknowingly used a link with a tracker, as an example of what I was talking about

Here’s a screenshot if that’s better

What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?

I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied...

otter,

That’s a great point, uBlock Origin helps a lot with scams on desktop.

I agree to disagree

I should also point out that I haven’t tried GrapheneOS and can’t judge what the differences might be, so I’ll go with your experience on this :)

otter, (edited )

The problem is that other people will be unfamiliar with it. Unless OP can be the support person all the time, the grandparents may want to get help from someone else.

Keeping things stock is helpful for that, and I feel like Google Pixel is already simple enough. Just disable things like assistant during setup or in settings.

otter,

Same

Although our instances give that away

otter,

This works, but the formats are ancient

If it could pull from knowyourmeme or imgflip.com/memetemplates?sort=top-new, with an API of some kind, that would help a lot

The user can download the format they want

otter,

Easier to just report it

otter,

I’m not sure I understand

If everyone can see what I upvote, then I’m going to take that into consideration before voting. If it was private, then I wouldn’t worry about it and vote whenever I want to.

Overall this might be a good thing because it exposes bad behaviour, such as downvoting the person who disagrees with you.

This might be a problem if, for example, there’s a post critical of moderators / admins. You might want to upvote it, but worry about getting banned. If your Lemmy profile can be linked to your real identity, you might worry about real world consequences too.

otter,

thanks! forgot to add those

otter,

That’s so cool…

otter,

That’s amazing 😊

otter,

One of my favourites, especially because of that last panel

otter,

Then later on there’s also !communityPromo

otter,

If anyone knows a better source or RSS feed, please do share :)

otter,

I’m ready 🫡
