That might be your language settings. Go into your main Lemmy settings and make sure that 'Undetermined' is selected

Did you happen to change the link? I don't notice the issue

It might also help to take screenshots of what you're seeing

This is something that's hard to describe with words

This video has someone going that speed, they also talk through some of the considerations on how to do that safely

There's also this video with a motorcycle doing something similar

You could add a word or phrase to remind people that it's being given away for free to anyone that wants to run it. That might get people to think about any benefit they are getting out of it, and how much they want to donate in response.

I'm not sure what is the best wording for that, but just be careful in case someone misunderstands and thinks it might become paid someday. I've seen that complaint in the past

For example, this could be misinterpreted:

and if you want to keep using it for free


You can also add a note about the frequency of the messages. Saying that you will only remind people once a year is nice to hear, and that way people won't dismiss it thinking they will do it when they are reminded the next time

I'm also curious about adult ones, how would you rate the petting experience on a scale of 1 to 10

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Good to know 😬

Is it safe to pet them when they're that small, and if so what does it feel like 😄

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

You can just paste the link normally. If you want custom text on the link, you do this

Also I think the post is talking about hiding the data to begin with. There are already some tracking tools out there that look at the existing data. If the data isn't accessible to you, then it's not accessible to the AI either. Nothing for anyone to look at

Although I'm not familiar with flight details to know what exactly is being hidden, or if there are workarounds

Cool comm, subscribed :)

So far Signal has stuck by its values, and a number of times it has threatened to pull out of a country if a new law would force them to compromise on encryption /privacy

For example, most recently

I'm not sure if they would do the same with the US, but I don't think they'll just agree to the demands that easily.

As for bluesky, I don't have much faith in them

A few common issues:

"I'm not seeing all the content"

Lemmy allows you to filter out content based on the language, but some new users will set this incorrectly in their settings. Please see this post for help. You can also post in either this community, or !languagesettings@lemmy.zip to ask for more help.

"I want to block posts with certain words"

It is possible to use uBlock Origin to do this in the web browser. See this post for detailed instructions.

 

I commented this in another thread, but thought that it could do with its own post.

It's a solid list to go off of if you want to pick a few to host. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

Overview

Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

  • networks: Tor, i2p
  • computing: boinc, foldingathome
  • archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
  • storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it's open to contributions.

 

Nearly 1 million Windows devices were targeted in recent months by a sophisticated "malvertising" campaign that surreptitiously stole login credentials, cryptocurrency, and other sensitive information from infected machines, Microsoft said.

The campaign began in December, when the attackers, who remain unknown, seeded websites with links that downloaded ads from malicious servers. The links led targeted machines through several intermediary sites until finally arriving at repositories on Microsoft-owned GitHub, which hosted a raft of malicious files.

Ad blockers aren't just convenient, they're necessary for online safety. Install it on your family member's devices

 

First off, welcome to all the new users these past few days! Please take a look at our recent welcome thread with some guides and tips that will help you get settled in:

This is the nomination thread for which song(s) we will submit to Lemmyvision 2! Please comment your nominations in this thread for them to be considered. This post will be pinned to the instance briefly, but you can continue nominating songs until March 25th (2025). You will be able to find this post in !canada@lemmy.ca

What is lemmyvision

Lemmyvision is inspired from Eureddision (itself a reenactment of the Eurovision song contest) which was held on r/europe some years ago, and based on the participation of national communities / instances and the delicate musical taste of their members (you!).

Every country/community is welcome to participate! The contest follows the rule of “national languages only” but regional languages are welcome too, if your community would like to feature a song in a regional language of your country, that’s awesome. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.

What is lemmy.ca doing

Specific to Canada, here is what the organizer has said:

You’re invited to participate by sending a song in any official or regional language / dialect from Canada !

Given the multilingual aspect of your country, I’m open to multiple submissions (one for each language you’d like to represent, so Inuktitut, French Canadian, any First Nations languages are welcome) from lemmy.ca, just mention which language is linked to which submission 🤗

As such, please do the following:

  • Songs must have been released within the last year (after January 1st, 2024).
  • Songs must not be international hits (see the 'Full rules and details' link below for more context)
  • Nominate each song as a separate comment under this post. If the song contains vocals, it must be one of the 'Canadian languages' as outlined above, and you must specify which language you are nominating it under

Please nominate the songs by March 25th (2025).

I set a reminder to post a voting thread on March 25th. If I am late on that (like last year), please let one of the admins know and we will get on that. That should give us a week before the submission deadline to pick from our list of nomations.
