  • Very cool! Do you know how your project may compare with arctic shift ? For those more interested in research with reddit data, is there benefit of one vs another?

  • from what I remember from my early psych class, manipulation can be used, but should be used carefully in an experiment.

    there’s a lot that goes into designing a research experiment that tests or requires the use of manipulation, as appropriate approvals and ethics reviews are needed.

    and usually it should be done in a “controlled” environment where there’s some manner of consent and compensation.

    I have not read the details done here but the research does not seem to happen in a controlled env, participants had no way to express consent to opt in or opt out, and afaik they were not compensated.

    any psych or social sci peeps, feel free to jump in to correct me if I say something wrong.

    on a side note, another thing that this meme suggests is that both of these situations are somehow equal. IMO, they are not. researchers and academics should be expected to uphold code of ethics more so than corporations.

  • In this scenario, I think the pronouns should be changed regardless of the gender of the devs. Here’s a screenshot of the suggested changes, which are quite minimal. The reason why I think this should be changed is because this is in the build instructions for a project that many devs are needed. Hence, they should at least be open to discussion rather than shutting it off completely. And honestly, this is a small change. Their reaction to this made it more political than the commit itself, and honestly the commit was not political in my mind. Their reaction also demonstrated how they respond to contributions, and an ambitious project like this will need a lot of contributors. If their leadership keeps this up, it is very off-putting for people to collaborate with them.

  • 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results

    Jump

  • Wonder how the survey was sent out and whether that affected sampling.

    Regardless, with -3-4k responses, that’s disappointing, if not concerning.

    I only have a more personal sense for Lemmy. Do you have a source for Lemmy gender diversity?

    Anyway, what do you think are the underlying issues? And what would be some suggestions to the community to address them?

  • I use gitlab ci mainly and dabble in github actions. Can you clarify how “Not even Github managed to pull that off”? IIRC, actions is quite featureful and it’s open-source, so I assume that can be run with self-hosted runners as well.

  • thanks for confirming my suspicion. as for your question, conda in general is good for installing non-python binaries when needed, and managing env. I don’t use anaconda but it provides a good enough interface for beginners and folks without much coding experience. It’s usually the easiest to use that than other variants for them, or the python route of setting up environments

  • Help migrating from Google photos to Proton

    Jump

  • Never tried it, but I would assume if you do a Google takeout of your Google Photos, the metadata would still be kept, and then you can upload that to Proton. Have you tried that yet?

  • Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Can Google access your data Google Workspace & their education services? How can I best protect privacy on it?

  • If you’ve never worked before, this can be considered practice runs for the when you do.

    Like one of the other commentors said, assume everything is accessible by Google and/or your university (and later, your boss, company, organization, …).

    And not just you, but the people who interact with you through it. So that means you may be able to put up defenses, but if they don’t (and they most likely do not), the data that you interact with them would likely be accessible as well.

    So here are some potential suggestions to minimize private-data access by Google/university while still being able to work with others (adjust things depending on your threat model of course):

    • use Google Workspace services only for collaboration and for official business communication
    • don’t link things that may be personal, such as Google Map, Youtube, Search history, Browser, …
    • if more sensitive things need to be shared with other people, use more private/encrypted solutions that you like or the university suggests. You should use the latter if it’s still “business”-related, e.g. communicate about medical research data with PII
    • if there are communications that need sensitive information (eg HR documents, tax documents), ask them (a) if you can bring the sensitive documents to them, (b) or if the university has an encrypted solution, or (c) if you can use your own encrypted solution (eg put files on protondrive and you give them the appropriate folder password in person)
    • go through all Google privacy and security settings every 6 months or so, and turn off what you don’t need (there are usually a bunch of guides for that). Note: every 6 months because there may be new stuff that they add
    • turn off all the AI integrated features (sometimes called smart features) in Google services like Mail, GDoc, …
    • avoid using GDrive for storage of personal files - if you need to, try to encrypt them before uploading
    • you may find there are other people like you; and if you work with them, try to ask whether they are comfortable with alternatives or if they have anything suggestions. However, this is usually rare in most fields, so keep your expectations low for this
    • use the multi-account containers in Firefox to containerize all stuff related to university account in one container. Don’t use Google Chrome; if you must you Chromium, there are other “forks?” that you can try
    • use UBlock Origin and block unnecessary Google services (you’ll have to play around with this a lot)
    • avoid clicking on links in emails if possible, but instead copy them by selecting them (or the right click, copy). This is an unfounded suspicion, Google may track what links you click on

  • You can also just post the 4-5 data items without claiming that this is low or high credibility or bias. Then let the people make the decision. Like this maybe:

    “Based on source X, this source media bias is:

    • bias: A
    • cred: B
