RSS pleasantly surprised me by Salix in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[-] Salix@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago

I love RSS.

I run FreshRSS as my server via docker and connect to it via Read You on Android and NewsFlash on Linux

I also run RSS-Bridge in docker. It has been really useful as it can generate RSS feeds for many websites that don't natively have them.

Hyprland is now fully independent! by Salix in c/linux@lemmy.ml

And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

Oh wow. That community is just hateful

Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour by Salix in c/technology@lemmy.world

They get the traffic data from some third party, not by following their users like gmaps.

https://www.magicearth.com/faq-en/

Do you share data with third parties?

We send position data to our traffic provider to generate real-time traffic information. The data is anonymized on the phone, using a changing key (so it's not linked to you), and it is deleted after 5 minutes.

They have a good privacy policy though. I haven't really had many issues with their app.

Spain introduces porn passport to stop kids from watching smut (www.politico.eu)
submitted 5 months ago by Salix@sh.itjust.works to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

The Spanish government has a plan to prevent kids from watching porn online: Meet the porn passport.

Officially (and drily) called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta), the app Madrid unveiled on Monday would allow internet platforms to check whether a prospective smut-watcher is over 18. Porn-viewers will be asked to use the app to verify their age. Once verified, they'll receive 30 generated “porn credits” with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.

You have to request more porn credits from the government if you need more? Don't want the government to be tracking this data of you. This is a privacy issue

EA is looking at putting in-game ads in AAA games — 'We'll be very thoughtful as we move into that,' says CEO (www.tomshardware.com)

EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed the company is considering putting ads in traditional AAA games — titles that players purchase up-front for around $70 apiece. In the Q&A part of EA’s latest earnings call, Eric Sheridan from Goldman Sachs asked Wilson about dynamic ad insertion in traditional AAA games. Wilson said, "…Advertising has an opportunity to be a meaningful driver of growth for us." He then continued, "…we have teams internally in the company right now looking at how we do very thoughtful implementations inside of our game experiences."

Ever since the Reddit exodus, so many people joined Lemmy who just assumes everyone lives in the US.

"My rent is only $----/mo". In what currency? A lot of countries use $.

I noticed that sometimes comments asking "What currency?" or "What country?" gets downvoted even though the original post / comment isn't obvious that they are talking specifically about US :(

Reddit started blocking VPN users on old.reddit.com by Salix in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Started? Been having that issue for months now. It only works on VPN if you're logged on.

Certain VPN servers can go through it they haven't implemented a block for it yet. AirVPN launched some new servers that worked for a bit, but Reddit blocked them a few weeks later.

The Supreme Court declines to step into the fight over bathrooms for transgender students by Salix in c/news@lemmy.world
[-] Salix@sh.itjust.works 52 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I wish there were more non-gendered restrooms.

The one's I've been to usually has shared sinks and has stalls that fully enclosed, as in you can't look under the stall. Most restrooms in the US, you can see under the stall in front and from an adjacent stall.

And the urinals is usually in a separate area of the restrooms.

Linux program similar to Android's URLCheck app? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by Salix@sh.itjust.works to c/linux@lemmy.ml
6 comments fedilink

Does anyone know if a Linux program that is similar to URLCheck?

For URLCheck, you can set it as your default browser on Android, and when you click a link, it'll open up there first. It can go through all of the redirects for you, and lets you edit the URL before opening it in another web browser. Useful for removing tracking referrals as well if the user wants.

For Linux, I'd be happy with a program that I can paste the URL into to do all of this, it doesn't have to have the ability to be a default web browser. I'd prefer to not have to use Waydroid for URLCheck.

URL when clicking on an email

URL after it goes through the redirects

URL after clicking the X for parameters to clean it up

If you want a comparison for at my current company:

Insurance through what my union negotiated with my company is about $90/mo for dental/vision/medical. $200 annual deductible on medical.

Insurance from my company if I had a non-union position here is $300-400/mo. $1000 annual deductible on medical

This is for a single person btw.

Isn't this a separate package not part of the Linux kernel? I don't see why Linus would have to get involved.

"Think of the children" is such a dumb excuse that people keep using in the US to pass laws that restricts citizens and are anti-privacy.

It looks like https://sh.itjust.works/c/fossdroid@social.fossware.space isn't working because it's automatically making it to !FOSSdroid@social.fossware.space instead of !fossdroid@social.fossware.space

It works in other instances such as: https://feddit.nl/c/fossdroid@social.fossware.space
