Heat pumps sold so fast in Maine, the state just upped its target in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Wander@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Isn't that what most split AC units are currently capable of? At least I've seen them almost all with the ability to produce heat when I was browsing for one.

Why do deleted OPs and comments keep showing up on other instances like lemmy.ml? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
[–] Wander@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago (4 children)

This might have to do with downtime on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml which prevented them from getting the request to delete the comment.

EXCLUSIVE: Lenovo is working on a Windows PC gaming handheld called the 'Legion Go' in c/gaming@lemmy.ml

At least this means that the PC handhelds seem to be lucrative and we can definitely expect a steam deck 2 or better competition.

It's a shame that people are still using that platform.

BBC starts experimenting with the Fediverse, running its own Mastodon instance in c/technology@lemmy.world

BBC is not the UK government. I'm not sure if there's a difference or not. (Also please accept my apologies for using this post for a quick federation test)

Actually it's set at 25 MB now. Is it a gif? You might still have problems with gifs.

How does an app like Threads get access to financial, political, health, religious or browsing info through your phone's OS. What is the actual source of that data? (yiffit.net)
 

I'm trying to understand how an app would even get that info in the first place, how that's classified and why a mobile operating system even has a way to provide that data.

Am I correct in assuming that if an app is used without play store / play store framework that it would not be able to get access to that data?

Thanks!

Is there a FOSS Android app that tries to collect all data it can and then show it to you? (yiffit.net)
 

For example, I'm trying to find out how isolated the work profile on my phone is and whether it shares identifiers with the main profile, but in general I'm thinking of buying a new phone and keep Google et al. as far away as possible, but I need to understand exactly what data these companies have access to.

What do you think of having a "Fedi Friday" where we post art of artists who're on Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc.. (yiffit.net)
 

Not exclusively, but as a fun addendum to promote fedi artists.

What do you think?

Theory: the only reason Meta cares about the fediverse / ActivityPub is so that threads isn't labeled a "gatekeeper" under the EU's new "Digital Markets Act" (yiffit.net)

Links to source articles below.

Yesterday 30 million users signed up for threads, which is already more than active users in the fediverse.

Furthermore, it seems that Meta hasn't launched threads in the EU due to uncertainty regarding the Digital Markets Act. It is entirely possible that their intent to federate with other Activitypub instances is entirely a cheap way to avoid being labeled a gatekeeper and avoid other regulatory requirements or restrictions.

It's future use of ActivityPub to get better publicity or scrape a bit more data might be an added benefit but not it's true purpose.

We'll see if launch in the EU goes hand in hand with them turning on Federation. I suspect that ActivityPub and the Fediverse are merely an afterthought to them and a convenient way to avoid being impacted by certain regulations.

Edit: Found a brief overview of the DMA. Among other things they say:

"The DMA aims to ensure the interoperability of messaging services allowing users on services like WhatsApp to send messages to users on smaller services like Signal"
