About that, see comment by @Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de in this thread. Apparently only the GPlay version is unmaintained.

Yeah there's a mystery about completely different availability policies by the developer in GPlay and in FDroid...

Agree about the security. I use Element/Matrix. I don’t use SMS regularly, but some people message me with that in emergency situations, for instance if they don’t have wifi or mobile data. It’s also still used to get temporary authentication codes.

Absolutely, don't take my post too literally as I'm not very acquainted with the Fediverse yet :)

I don't know who's the creator. Here's the app – you can also see the complaints from some users:

Cheers, got it from F-Droid (another step in de-googling :)

I see, I didn't know about that, thank you. May I ask: is the instance where the community is hosted that should do this, or the instance(s) of the subscribers?

Please feel free to delete my post if it's pointless then!

Are there foundations similar to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but with more international focus? (www.eff.org)

I'm a member of the EFF, and its activities are great, but understandably have slightly more focus on USA-related matters. I say "but" just because I don't live in the USA.

Are there similar foundations that operate and focus/prioritize more on an international level? I don't manage to find any, but probably I'm doing the wrong kind of search.

How to set default for "Override keyboard shortcuts"? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by pglpm to c/firefox@lemmy.ml
3 comments fedilink
 

Today I noticed that in the Page Info --> Permissions tab (which you access through padlock --> Connection secure --> More information beside a page's URL) there is an Override keyboard shortcuts permission setting, with default set to "Allow". Interesting, because some sites use shortcuts that I'd rather avoid.

I checked the Settings, but I see no entry to set the default to "Block". Is there some entry in about:config for this?

Cheers!

GPU-accelerated Gibbs sampling (doi.org)

Bayesian nonparametric methods include machine-learning and deep-learning methods as special cases, obtained by making quite coarse approximations to make the computation feasible. Using the fully fledged Bayesian method would give much more, but would take orders of magnitude more computational resources and time.

Papers like this, however, open up many more possibilities to use the full theory rather than approximations. I'm quite surprised to see that this paper is already four years old. I wonder if there's been any progress since then.

This is a beautiful combination of video and song.
