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

Methodology of X is at: “

Hold up, are you sure you can’t view Discussions or Wiki? Which sites can you not view them?

I’m fine viewing them for public repos that I usually visit.

Asking to make sure that Github is not slowly rolling out this lockdown.

I think many have also been wondering about version control of legislation/law documents for some time as well. But I never understand why it’s not realized yet.

As much as I despise snap, this instance bring some questions into how other popular cross-linux platform app stores like flathub and nix-channels/packages provide guardrails against malwares.

I’m aware flathub has a “verified” checks for packages from the same maintainers/developers, but I’m unsure about nix-channels. Even then, flathub packages are not reviewed by anyone, are they?

I have a suspicion that it might depend on a few factors that might be related to Google’s ability to track, such as the browsers you use and whether you’re on VPN. I saw a post on Lemmy the other day (can’t remember where) that they suspect captcha is more annoying on Firefox, whereas fine with Chrominum-based browsers, esp Google Chrome. I think I sometimes experienced this as well, but I didn’t keep track.

I wonder whether matrix and/or matrix bridge has been mentioned before. Maybe discord + matrix bridge is a good enough compromise for reachability.

seriously, how bad must it be to change name to clean up their image? We all expect this industry is controversial.

The only recent thing I remember about Pornhub is the current blocking in certain states as protest to the age verification requirement. That seems like a plus in my book that they stand up for privacy and internet use. Changing the name seems like it might dilute their stance.

what’s the difference between flatsweep and using flatpak uninstall —unused —delete-data?

here are a few options that I see but never actually use.

• contact https://wiki.archiveteam.org/; they have some reddit related archival activities going on
• more academic type and will be very helpful for researchers:
  • https://zenodo.org/
  • https://figshare.com/ (this I’ve used and very easy)
  • https://datadryad.org/
  • https://academictorrents.com/ (pushshift archives are also on here)
  • https://socialmediaarchive.org/

Your data don’t seem to be massive compared to the types of data people store on there. So I don’t think it’s gonna be an issue. Plus, if you deposit your data in 1 archivist place + 1 research place, the data may be used by more people. Don’t forget about licenses btw.

EDIT: added https://socialmediaarchive.org/ to the list, just found out about that.

did not know “kidinfluencer” is a thing. the exploitative, child labor nature of such concept, the detrimental mental health effects of such practice, on kids no less. definitely something we can live without.

I guess you're already said it, there are ones that have a network effect, and depending on your priorities/relationships, you can cut them off or compromise. I cut off Facebool/Meta products in general some time ago, because it was clear that would be better for my mental health. Still kept in touch with people through texts and Signal. And I'm OK with having a smaller less noisy network. For most of my personal relationships and matters, I'd have to compromise less.

On the other hand, for more professional matters, like work, or trying to find communities that I care about or seek help from, I'd have to compromise more and accept that I have to use Zoom, Slack, Google products, ... I have found ways to be OK with it. I hope you can find a way.

At the same time I may raise issues about those products' nature if/when appropriate, with my colleagues, while acknowledging that the alternatives aren't always seamless and easy. Let's face it, many alternatives keep changing, and may require a high level of entry. Anw, when I can and if it's easy enough, i may show them how I use alternatives and let them decide on their own.

Key points: compromise, be understanding & empathetic but still vigilant and an advocate when possible

EDIT: holy crap, I just realized this post is 3Y old. I’m an idiot 🤦

Looking forward to someone bringing this up when discussing the ongoing died-but-somehow-always-revived legislations that would introduce backdoors for encryption for government
