My APAP machine has a sim card and unless I am careful to not disable airplane mode every time I start it up, it will send all of my health data to company that I have signed no agreement with.

I explicitly declined to agree to the privacy policy of the company that sold it to me.

If I find my data in a breach, lawyers will be involved.

As a Canadian, please don't come here (unless your reproductive rights/ bodily autonomy are under direct threat)

Sometimes I feel hopeless with our political parties and economy up here and think about moving out of country and then I remember that as a citizen I have a duty and responsibility to remain a voice of reason in my community.

As a US citizen you are afforded real rights that citizens in other countries do not have. For example: In Canada we don't have rights, we have freedoms. Those freedoms can be suspended by the government at any time.

Be the change. Fix your system. Help turn your nation into the example for the global west that it always aspired to.

We need a digital seed library with the crispr ready DNA of various seeds for pirates (humans that need to eat) to archive.

How do you download your game on SD OLED? by WilfordGrimley in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

There's a decky plugin that let's you toggle an OLED black screen with a two button shortcut.

Highly recommend.

Signal usage survey, what versions do you use? Wanted for potential Flatpak adoption by WilfordGrimley in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Use SimpleLogin and Bitwarden for everything. I never use the same email or password anywhere and can turn off receiving emails from the source for each account.

can nix for gaming pirates lead to easy piracy by WilfordGrimley in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

The neat and confusing thing about nix and flakes is that you don't need to be using the OS to benefit from using nix as a home manager/ package installer.

Fleek is a good example.

I think Flatpak or AppImages would be a more appropriate distribution method, as much as I love nix and flakes.

Why hasn't Disney done a live action Aristocats yet? by WilfordGrimley in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Isn't that from Lady and the Tramp? I think they did change those characters when they made the live action one.

That would require the Republicans to have knowledge of history outside their own country.

Is Lemmy Federation with Aether possible? (linux.community)

submitted 1 year ago by WilfordGrimley@linux.community to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

11 comments fedilink

Aether is a reddit alternative not dissimilar to Lemmy in that it is distributed and open source.

Some advantages to Aether over Lemmy are:

It is entirely decentralized rather than federated giving it superior censorship resistance and smooth horizontal scalability. Each user on the Aether network acts as a node operator allowing other users to connect and view the communities that they subscribe to.

Moderators within each community are elected by, are impeachable by, and their decisions can be individually ignored by the users of each community. All mod actions are public information and, as mentioned, each mod action or moderator can be ignored by each user. This maximizes the accountability of the network and greatly reduces the chances of censorship.

The biggest flaw with Aether is that it is not currently maintained (to my knowledge). With such a massive migration of users to Lemmy and the Fediverse as large, I would love to see an increased interest in decentralized solutions like Aether.

Would it be technically feasible for Aether to join the fediverse through modified Lemmy instances? If so it could act as a silver bullet to enable horizontal scalability of the network at large.

I welcome any discussion on the topic.

Lemmy Ergo Community (lemmy.world)

Ergo is an eUTXO (extended unspent transaction output) based PoW smart contract platform.

It is significant to the privacy coin community as it features the ErgoMixer, the industries first non-custodial non-interactive coin mixer. It enables mixing any native or bridged token on the network in an entirely trustless way. It can enable any other compatible bridged asset to be mixed and further used in Ergo's smart contracts. (Think about premixed BTC-XMR pairs on a DEX for example.)

ErgoMixer

Ergo already has a community on Lemmy that I hope to see grow and flourish along with this one. https://lemmy.world/c/ergo

Here's to privacy!

Can the Number of Federated Instances be Increased for Linux.community please? (linux.community)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by WilfordGrimley@linux.community to c/linux@linux.community

At the moment there is slim pickings for other communities to join if this instance is chosen by a user to be their home server.

Presumably other instances have to approve linux.community federating with them before their subs can show up? Is it that this instance is new, or is there some other reason. u/nkukard can you chime in?

EDIT: A-ha! I was searching poorly! Once a member of a instance subscribes, it pulls it into that instance for easier discovery. Neat!
