No, I never liked Twitter, so I can't even begin to bother about mastodon. Never heard of the other one.

I tried the Instagram clone for a few days (forgot the name), but it was so empty I left it again.

Cousins in my age group once every few months maybe, aunts and uncles hardly ever. Not even my own all that frequently, but we have a whatsapp group with those and my parents where we chat somewhat frequently.

If you live in a country that is not the US, these things are certified and taken seriously.

It is, but sponsored by Mozilla, so some of their staff are probably still involved. And of course is open source, so they could just take the newest release and fork it back, if they'd wish.

Hm ok. I never look at comments or usernames.

I've downloaded books (novels) in pdf format, emailed them to myself or uploaded them in a public folder, and then printed them (double sided, two pages on one sheet, just like an actual book) in chunks of 20 pages (so 80 pages of the actual book). Stapled the whole thing in one corner, sat down at my desk, pen in hand, scribbling on the pages here and there.

Source?

Also (and this is a genuine question): Why would I care? They don't earn anything from me. Does their political affiliation matter when it comes to sourcing copyrighted material?

Freedom from censorship.

Which doesn't apply to Lemmy either, different instances just censor different trains of thought.

Any "article" starting with the words "in the ever evolving world of"... Lost its credibility before it was even published.

God what an awful, awful time to be alive.

The military probably knew all along, but are not going to tweet out their intel.

The trump administration can kiss my dick.

There. This is part of my social media history now.

Oh they are actually fully open to science. Let them govern magic sky daddies, if it pleases them.

 

Hi all,

Need to pick your brains for a bit regarding best practices for handling of account recovery issues while traveling.

Premise would be that my phone gets lost or stolen, and I may not have easy access to my laptop either, and being in a foreign country I couldn't easily get a copy of the original SIM to restore via OTP.

Consequently, I also don't really love the idea of using some password manager with a master password and no F2A.

Under those circumstances, what would you consider the best way forward to ensure accessibility without crippling myself in the process?

The only thing I can come up with is a random subdomain on one of my domains, with random username and random password, where I store an encrypted container containing txt-files. Maybe even further obscured with a random cypher (all numbers / letters shifted x positions to the right or something).

But there's gotta be other use-cases out there, so I was wondering what you are using?

Ideally something that doesn't involve another person.

Thanks!

 

Hi all,

I've got a bit of a spam issue that isn't solved by either keyword or actual spam filter. The problem is that I'm in China and mass email marketing here is acceptable for some reason, so local spam filters don't catch the perps, and international ones are useless based on the language.

And since I'm in a customer/supplier facing role, quite a few genuine mails use the same keywords as the spammers, so that doesn't work to fix my problem.

However, the mails are usually sent to hundreds of people at once, all with their mail addresses in plain view in CC.

So I'd just like to set up a filter to send mails with >100 recipients or something like that straight to trash, but can't seem to find it in the outlook rule settings.

Does anyone know of a useful workaround?

Thanks!

 

I don't really use facebook anymore so couldn't care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.
