Kash Patel Confirms UFC Fighters Will Train FBI Agents This Week, Calling It A “Historic Opportunity” in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world
[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I don't know. Lemmy world is right up there. I try to ignore the instance and treat people in good faith. It's a shame others don't.

Originally, I started on this instance after .world was unusable and down most days. I assumed if anyone could maintain an instance, it's the devs who created it. Ml has been pretty reliable. My other account on lemm.ee died. The one on shit.just.works don't work with jerboa if you want infinite scroll to work...

You could check my account and see I moderate 2 big communities. Usually trolls don't do that. Mods invest energy to build stuff, trolls suck energy out of stuff with low energy contributions.

Largest supporter? I would have thought that was Saudi. Most of the groups US were fighting or dealing with originated from strict Sunni groups. Iran was working against many of those groups.

Or to compromise with the native Americans. Treatment to them was much more uncompromising and previous treaties were tore up.

Yup. It's been bugging me too.

Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

No. Most of it is irrelevant trivia most Brits do not know. Most Brits would fail. It's just a sucky memory test hurdle to block immigrants. The charges are also scandalous etc.

It's always the trade off. Convenience vs privacy. Personally, I always have a real wallet so cards are convenient to me. Batteries can run out at any time.

Using Google anything is never a privacy option.

Google wallet? Why would you move off Google and use something pointless a bank card would do?

I'm in the UK, but can access banking websites via browser.

OpenSuse is great if you want up to date and reliable. It's quite boring how reliable it is. Great if that is your preference. If you like learning and chaos, Arch is useful.

I only ever got that stuff with Manjaro and Nvidia.

Mint and OpenSuse have been real reliable. Same with Kubuntu.

Fossify Contacts (fork of Simple Contacts) and Fossify SMS Messenger (fork of Simple SMS Messenger) have been released on F-Droid.

Other Fossify apps available for download on F-Droid:

(ICYMI, Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an adware company and their apps on the Google Play Store now contain trackers and unnecessary permissions. This report from Exodus shows that the old version of Simple Gallery had 0 trackers and 10 permissions, whereas the app, after sale, contains 9 trackers and 21 permissions!)

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we're here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

Looks like UK is going the same way as a few states. Spare a thought for us. So messed up this increasing surveillance state.

Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM (9to5google.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/5707453

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Many said we couldn’t stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Looking for Moderators (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

Google’s nightmare “Web Integrity API” wants a DRM gatekeeper for the web (arstechnica.com)

Apologies for multiple posts today. I hadn't planned on doing so. I stumbled across this and it communicates effectively what this is. As many are confused by this, it could be a reasonable bit of information.

Google is already pushing WEI(DRM Webpage) into Chromium (github.com)
 

Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

A few months out of date, but I'm keen on the project and waiting on the latest installment. As content here is a little dated, it cannot hurt to get this here so folk can dig into it more.

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.
