Emails received via SimpleLogin in Protonmail have the original From: in the headers though:

From: Stack Overflow 
To: stackoverflow.redacted@aleeas.com

The setting you mentioned is only used for these headers:

X-Pm-Original-From: "Stack Overflow - do-not-reply(a)stackoverflow.email" 
Reply-To: "Stack Overflow - do-not-reply(a)stackoverflow.email" 

which affects what it says in the subject line when you reply:

It would require a human to do that linking. Nobody knows how many people have emails at your domain.

Advancements in data science in the past 2 decades have shown the opposite.

You could use a anonymous domain hosting service to register the domain as well.

The problem is not the paper trail between domain and you but the domain being a proxy for you, the person. Let's take an example: You register the totally anonymous domain algk3oii01aslf0.com. Super duper secure and anonymous, right?
Now you use a catch-all to register your accounts using servicename@algk3oii01aslf0.com on facebook, Google, M$, Reddit and what have you.

Do you see the problem here? If those services were to collaborate (indirectly, they do on a certain level), that'd enable them to identify you as a single entity across these services. Your activity is tracked and attributed to a certain identifier. Whether that identifier is your real name or just a random UUID is of little relevance; it's still you being tracked.

For the services I listed, this discussion is probably redundant as they have thousands of other means to fingerprinting you but you don't have to make it easy for them either.

Custom domains and aliasing services have two slightly different purposes as aliasing services can serve to mask your identity aswell.

A custom domain still enables tracking across accounts.

It'd be pretty neat if hm could populate a temporary directory and open a shell where $HOME is that temp dir but I don't think it can.

As for rollbacks, see https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/index.html#sec-usage-rollbacks

I haven't personally set it up yet but you can enter a custom self-hosted sync server in the desktop app's settings. No need for an ankiweb.net account.

As for iOS, choosing a mostly unfree platform means you get the unfree experience and its consequences. Anki couldn't even publish a copyleft app on the app store if they wanted to. See the $25 as the Apple tax ;)
For the free-ish mobile platform, there's https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android.

Did you try anki-sync-server-rs?

What are your gripes with it?

One of the more legitimate uses is to have a decent way of identifying humans. Most humans only have a very limited amount of phone numbers (usually exactly one) and even extreme cases can only acquire a rather limited amount of them.

Contrast that to most other identification methods such as email or online accounts where a singular entity can create limitless amounts of them, that's quite a lot better.

Obviously most companies also abuse your phone number for malicious purposes such as tracking, profiling, spam etc.

You actually would not. The content of the post can stay but the username/identifier has to be removed. Written text is not PII to my knowledge and every social platforms I've actively used only delete the identifier (Reddit, GitHub).

Aw, thanks <3

I've thought about digital ones too but I think the a Seiko 6m26/6m25 might actually fit me quite well, so that's what I think I'll be going with.

Did you measure this on the wall or in software? Dhe latter is not accurate nor comparable between OSs.

[–] Atemu@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

There was qtwebkit, that's where I got the expression from.

I thought it'd be issue/MR discussions because that'd be a fairly obvious application of AP but it's actually for MRs themselves? Wow.

Git forges are the only remaining non-federated social platforms that I still heavily use.

With AP, we might finally be able to build a forge network that could become a viable public hosting alternative to GitHub.
