SimpleX group chat about privacy (simplex.chat)
 

I thought people here might like to join this if you want to see what other privacy folk are talking about. I think it originated on Nostr.

How can we avoid fingerprinting? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've been worried about this since Google switched to it in Feb this year.

Apparently the short answer is "you can't". Which is terrifying. Surely some clever peeps out there can find a way round it (for normies)?

Development of the ActivityPub protocol - data portability and persistent ID in c/activitypub@lemmy.ml
[–] Paddy66@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

e.g. there's this https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/ - is that being looked at by the people developing the protocol?

Development of the ActivityPub protocol - data portability and persistent ID (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm trying to find out where the development is at right now for ActivityPub, specifically about data (posts) portability, and persistent IDs.

For the former I think that's fairly self-explanatory, I'm just trying to get a flavour of if it's a priority, who's working on it, what the anticipated timeline is etc. It's a clear advantage that ATproto has, so are we trying to close the gap?

By the latter I mean is there work happening to work towards us being able to have one ID that can be used to log in to any fediverse network (as per nostr)? This approach makes so much sense to me - is it even possible?

The link here to W3.org doesn't seem that up to date - but I'm not that knowledgable so may have misinterpreted that site. So I'm looking for education on this subject 😊

Hitler’s Terrible Tariffs: By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards—and drove up the price of eggs 600 percent. in c/news@lemmy.world

For Hitler and Nazi Germany it certainly was a way to prepare for expansionist wars: https://www.richardjevans.com/lectures/autarky-fantasy-reality/

I was just in Denmark recently and it seems like that's what they have: a capitalist society but regulated by very socialist policies like (really) high taxes. Makes sense to me - I'm probably just not using the right terminology.

Naomi Klein's book 'Doppelganger' is good on this topic...

Separate navbar file (lemmy.ml)
 

Anyone know if you can have a separate HTML file for the navbar and link to it from all the page files?

Updating the navbar in each page to ensure consistency is a pain!

That groan you hear is users’ reaction to Recall going back into Windows in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] Paddy66@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Probably could be more slick, but working fine for my everyday needs.

The touch screen didn't work immediately, I had to search up for a command line solution to that. But most won't face that if they flash onto other (non-Surface) hardware.

I'm reading this on a Microsoft Surface that I flashed with Linux Mint. Quite satisfying!

Grant funding for helping people get away from big tech (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi there fediverse people!

I'm starting a non-profit to help people get away from big tech and use alternatives. Besides providing info via a website we'll put on events, and we're also planning to start a certification service so companies can prove they don't support the surveillance business model.

Does anyone know of any grant funding, either UK or EU, that might help with this?

Koch is now suing Ass for doing dumb tariff stuff (lemmy.ml)
 
  1. Billionaire Koch votes for dangerous narcissistic clown with terrible business sense
  2. Clown is elected so Billionaire Koch gets clown using terrible business sense to wreck global economy
  3. As a result, billionaire Koch loses a butt ton of money in the stock market

Could not upvote on another instance [please explain for noob] (lemmy.ml)
 

I've joined Lemmy.ml. Someone sent me a link to a video posted on Feddit.nl - I thought I could log in and upvote/comment using my Lemmy.ml credentials. Wrong!

Why is this? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm relatively new to the fediverse. But I thought that they were all federated so you can interact with all instances??!
