Hello Lemmy!

I recently discovered the "Request my data" function of Discord. Now that I have the data Discord knows about me.

I would like to make an experiment that could be used to explain how metadata can say a lot about people.

The problem is, I never done that :grinning face with sweat: so I would like to know how I could get everything I can, only from the metadata contained in the package.

I know it's possible, according to the length of calls, the umber of messages, etc, to guess what kind of relation a user have with another, but I don't know how to do that.

This is a description of the data package: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004957991

Can you help me to know what are the information I can determine about myself using this package (only the metadata, or it's not fair :p)

Thanks in advance!

If you feel tired about the Arduino IDE and you are fan of terminal. I recommend you to try 'ino' as well as micro as editor.

Ino

Ino is a Python tool to build and upload code to Arduino boards. It is also very lightweight and fully open-source.

1. Install Ino : pip2 install ino
2. Create and initialize the project:

mkdir project
cd project
ino init

3. To configure the settings about the board, you can use the following template: name this file ino.ini and add it into the root folder of your project.

[build]
board-model = mega2560

[upload]
board-model = mega2560
serial-port = /dev/ttyACM1

[serial]
serial-port = /dev/ttyACM1

4. Code your script by modifying the file src/sketch.ino
5. Build and upload to the Arduino (using the settings of the file ino.ini) run: ìno build && ino upload

Now each time you want to upload the project to the board you just need to run ino buid && ino upload. Ino will use the configuration of ino.ini to build your app.

Micro

This is not directly linked to Arduino but this is by far my preferred editor for terminal. You can use the shortcuts of nano but you have the customization and the code syntax of vim. The default colorscheme of Micro is gruvbox.

If you want more information about this editor, you can checkout: https://micro-editor.github.io/

Conclusion

I personally love them because I hate the default IDE and I am a big fan of developing app fully in terminal.

What do you think?

This is a question I am wondering. I try to avoid as much as I can platforms like YouTube, Discord, Whatsapp, Zoom, etc. But I just can't! For YouTube I love the content to much to quit it. I actually uses Invidio.us and NewPipe to avoid this problem. I just need to import my subscriptions.

Then you got the case of some social medias where it doesn't depends on you. For example I need to use Whatsapp for school even if I hate it, same for Zoom.

I also got friends and communities that are only on Discord.

Do you already had these issues? How are you dealing with them?

Thanks in advance!
