  • PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing. The default launcher on my phone is terrible and I hate having to move to different layouts every time I switch phones (which only happens every 5+ years, but is still annoying) so I have been using Nova for many years.

    Just turned off its internet access on both data and wifi, let's see if it complains about it.

    As a note: I can see that it only transfered a few hundred kilobytes in the past month, which isn't a lot, but it's still more than zero.

  • Do any of you meditate?

    Jump

  • Likely NT here, but meditation is awesome. Sometimes when I am particularly stressed or overwhelmed it's kinda hard to get in the right state of mind, it's as if I forget how easy it is to meditate, but when it does click it makes everything that much more simple.

    Highly recommended to anyone going through rough times or even people who are fine but would like to have their brain shut up for a little while.

  • Reddit Email Grab

    Jump

  • OP's account is on SJW and that instance does not require email verification. Plenty of instances don't.

  • Von der Leyen won’t rule out working with right-wing parties

    Jump

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't follow EU politics at the time of the last election, but didn't she campaign on green-deal policies for her first term? I remember reading about this somewhere. So moving away from that and closer to ECR would be quite the shift.

  • Piracy Shield Cloudflare Disaster Blocks Countless Sites, Fires Up Opposition

    Jump

  • LMAO. As much as restrictions of this kind suck, at least DNS makes more sense than IP without any transparency.

    It really does sound like whoever came up with the IP solution had no idea of what the hell they were talking about.

  • Piracy Shield Cloudflare Disaster Blocks Countless Sites, Fires Up Opposition

    Jump

  • I mean, you shouldn't stay on here if you don't like it, that goes without saying, but I think all in all the benefits outweight the few very annoying issues that this platform has. For instance, I think that the smaller number of people tend to mean that if you leave a comment somewhere you are likely to find someone to chat with and discuss whatever it is that you brought up in your comment.

    Often times on Reddit there are so many comments that you either blow up getting over 20 replies or get forgotten and ignored. No inbetweens.

  • Piracy Shield Cloudflare Disaster Blocks Countless Sites, Fires Up Opposition

    Jump

  • Do they? I think most of Lemmy still prefers online freedom, it should be one of the reasons that brought us here. Plus, the people you are gonna meet even by changing instance are going to be more or less the same. The number of instances you are barred from by staying on .world is pretty small.

  • One can hope...

  • You know, in a way I am glad that we managed to implement such a piss poor implementation of a PiRaCy ShIeLd. They are going to have to roll back or disable this piece of crap in a matter of days and that will hopefully be the end of these silly internet restrictions for good.

    Had the implementation not sucked ass this bad, we would have needed to wait for some EU infringiment procedure or ECJ order to shut it down. Instead, this way it's gonna end way more quickly.

  • Why are all the #peertube instances defederated from each other?

    Jump

  • Nah it should not. It would hurt decentralization and small instances. We already have a tool for curbing spam, it's called the Fediseer. You may or may not have heard about it, but most admins have.

  • Smartphones to be banned in Italian classrooms

    Jump

  • That ban has been in place since about as long as smartphones have been a thing. And even regardless of the national ban, generally school forbade them as a local policy.

    Doesn't change the fact that nothing will happen if the teacher doesn't act. So TL;DR nothing will change, it will remain up to the teacher like it already was.

  • Any EU based users of reddit should immediately file a complaint under GDPR with their supervisory authority for the sale of their data to Google to train their LLMs

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing, OP, just sent a report to my authority, the Italian Garante per la Privacy.

  • Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it?

    Jump

  • Huh. Different instances, I guess. I generally don't browse by all, but on my feed most news were non-US (mostly Europe although quite a few about Asia as well). But then again my instance is pretty tiny and definitely isn't federated with most large communities, so my perspective might be skewed.

    To get a better view of the general content on Lemmy maybe we should look at the all feeds of lemm.ee or lemmy.world which, now that I look at them, are indeed quite US centric. So I guess it was just my perspective.

  • Commission européenne : Ursula von der Leyen va-t-elle réussir à décrocher un second mandat ? Pas si vite

    Jump

  • Si nous regardons le Poll of Polls par Politico il est clair que le EPP on sera le premier parti, donc si le partie la supporte, elle obtiendra probablement son deuxième mandat.

    Personnellement ça ne me dérangerait pas. Je pense qui von der Leyen a fait du bon travail a garder la pertinence de l'Europe dans l'echelle mondiale. En outre, il serait probablement utile d'avoir une continuité au sein de l'executif de l'UE.

  • Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it?

    Jump

  • Matured? Really? I guess you haven't had a taste of the defederation drama. Users are great, but discussion between admins feel like the constant bickering of small children. And I say this as an admin myself, who at times does take part in those discussions. I think we still have a long way to go, when it comes to being matured.

  • Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it?

    Jump

  • I got the opposite idea. I think this place is much less US-centric than Reddit. And actually, if you look at the servers' location, there's way more in Europe than in America. So it would be fair to assume that many users would pick a server near their location and thus be from Europe rather than America.

  • El Salvador's Bukele wins supermajority in Congress after painstaking vote count

    Jump

  • His work in eradicating gang violence was impressive, I get why the few Salvadorians who aren't behind bars would vote for him. Although I can't help but wonder about how many people might have gotten unjustly incarcerated because of how much power he's given to the police.

  • EU opens formal investigation into TikTok over possible online content breaches regarding online content rules aimed at protecting children and ensuring transparent advertising

    Jump

  • I see. Well, I for one, think TikTok is definitely worse than Twitter because of its addictive nature, little user agency (you have almost no freedom of picking your own content, you are basically in the algorithm's hands) and serious privacy concerns.

    Twitter is by no means a great platform, it's just that TikTok is SO BAD that it's actually hard to beat it in terms of shittiness.

  • EU opens formal investigation into TikTok over possible online content breaches regarding online content rules aimed at protecting children and ensuring transparent advertising

    Jump

  • Why would that be weird? Which platform would you have preferred (other than Mastodon, I guess)?

    I have read about this procedure yesterday and it was also on twitter, from the account of the Commission.

  • AI has such a bad rap, but I actually found this tool to be really helpful with some of my challenges

    Jump

  • Like others have said I am a bit concerned by the privacy implications, but I like how nice the model is. Defintiely wouldn't consider it as an alternative to therapy or even real conversations (the sentences it generates look very fake at times, plus I wouldn't want to trust a machine's advice anyway), but it's pleasant to talk to and that's probably all that matters.

    Great if you have some time to kill or maybe need someone to take your head off something you've been thinking too much about, just gotta be careful on what you reveal to him.

    EDIT: as I was chatting I got a prompt asking me to log in to continue the conversation. I logged in with my Google account, then kept going for a bit, then singned off and closed the conversation. After I told him I was going to close the tab he greeted me with my real name without me ever have mentioned it in the convo (of course, he took it from Google), but it still weirded the heck out of me. Be careful with what you share lol.
