scrutinize the protocol beforehand.
Sorry but that buys into the data miners’ self serving myths. It implies the protocol is ok unless some failure makes it leak more information than was intended. In fact it’s invasive even if it works exactly as hoped. “Tracking” is a misnomer too. It’s hostile surveillance even if it’s at population level. (Any nonconsensual surveillance that produces info to be used by people you don’t like is hostile by definition. And it’s near guaranteed that some of the buyers-advertisers, political campaigns and funders, govt agencies, whatever-will be people you don’t like). So shut it down.
This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.
If we told just anyone, it wouldn’t be private!!!
Srsly any phone app is inherently insecure because the phone itself is insecure. And there’s lots of metadata leakage, like the phone broadcasting its location. There is no “go to app”. It all depends on what you are trying to do and who you are trying to communicate with.
Sort by newest first.
They want to obsolete all our phones again? No thanks.
I’d like the feed to be adjusted so that if there are a bunch of posts from the same community not too far apart from each other chronologically, to group them all together. Alternatively, a way to block communities showing in your front page view without blocking them completely. It’s not just memes, there are a bunch of other topics that also clutter up the front page constantly. Even things like news reports in Dutch, which are perfectly legit except I can’t read them, would be less annoying with this type of feature.

This forwards to an (oh the irony) blogspot post, https://articlesgallery8543.blogspot.com/2023/10/lets-decentralize-web-together.html It encourages people to move off sites like facebook towards sites like lemmy. Great but I think we knew that already.
About a year ago I found Osmand near unusable. Maybe I should try it again. I currently use Organic Maps and it’s pretty good, though it’s missing a few basic features that are probably on a todo list. Also, some of its data is wrong. I expect Osmand uses the same wrong data. Unfortunately last time I hit an error, I had no internet, but will try again next time I’m there.
