For context, this is what reddit’s limited automod is like

I’m sure we can do better. For example, being able to use variables

Microsoft, for example, cancelled Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in his home country of the U.K. have been blocked.

Microsoft has since denied this, but they haven’t released much info on what they say happened instead.

A Microsoft spokesperson said that it had been in contact with the court since February “throughout the process that resulted in the disconnection of its sanctioned official from Microsoft services.” The spokesperson added that “at no point did Microsoft cease or suspend its services to the ICC.”

Khan’s email disconnection has sparked Europe’s fears that Trump could flip a “kill switch” to cut digital services through American tech giants, as the continent seeks to become less dependent on U.S. technology. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon and others dominate Europe’s cloud and digital services sectors.

Microsoft declined to comment further in response to questions regarding the exact process that led to Khan’s email disconnection, and exactly what it meant by “disconnection.” The ICC declined to comment.

They also said that they’ll be adding legal clauses that would stop them from doing that, but I’m not sure how much that actually helps in practice.

Cellebrite builds the forensic tools law enforcement uses to get data from locked phones. As reported by 404 Media, the leak came from someone who managed to join a private Microsoft Teams call between Cellebrite staff and a prospective customer. During the meeting, the uninvited participant took screenshots of what appears to be an internal ‘Android OS Access Support Matrix’ and then shared them on the GrapheneOS discussion forum.

Snack compartment

I can confirm, we banned that user and set it to remove their content from lemmy.ca

You were one of the 7 users that got messaged when we were looking into a report about it

It’s possible that their accounts were grandfathered in and already marked as “different people”. During the next little while (the exact period is unknown, but let’s say 6 months), any new accounts from that IP may get banned, but especially those that are deemed “suspicious”.

We don’t know the exact details because Reddit doesn’t release the details. You might find someone here who can tell you about workarounds, but most likely you’ll get the advice to move on and find something new. Most people are here because they no longer want to use Reddit, and I’d say the vast majority is here because they chose to leave and not because of bans

Your device has an ID, and there are various other metrics that they can use

A demonstration:

How does tracking technology follow your trail around the web, even if you’ve taken protective measures? Cover Your Tracks shows you how trackers see your browser. It provides you with an overview of your browser’s most unique and identifying characteristics.

Is the only way to evade the ban to dodge your online fingerprint? (new phone, new email, new ph number. Etc)

Not easily. If Reddit isn’t getting enough data from you, and they can’t figure out who you are, they will often just ban you again

I’m happy participating as a community member, and stepping up as a mod later on if the team could use some extra help. I don’t mind either way :)

Oh on that note, would it be helpful to lock and redirect !newtopiefed@piefed.ca to that community?

I would say the main thing is being nice and letting people explore, and providing spaces/communities for people to come back and ask questions when they have them. When people bring up issues or suggest things that they want to see, we shouldn’t crap on what they prefer their online experience to be (ex. preferred algorithms, content they want to block, etc.)

Resources wise, we created this guide and I like to link these two particular pages for fediverse/lemmy. I feel that they help give a high level overview of how things work:

• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started
• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

I think since hobbies are nebulous and hard to compare against each other, you would need to find a study specifically looking at that. Even then, you would only get information on the specific hobbies they looked at.

Maybe you can try looking for data for specific hobbies instead of comparing them against each other? You can probably find rates of books, music, etc.

I have Jellyfin, but I haven’t tried it with music. How does it compare to Navidrome?

For chat, I was thinking something super simple for the weird situations like this. Alternatively, Briar if you’re near the person you want to contact

It makes me wish I was selfhosting more services, music & chat in particular. It wasn’t important enough to set up yet

Is there no way to check the doorbell video locally?

An Amazon employee misconfigures something and now your doorbell doesn’t work

COBOL handles the books because no one else can understand the system and it’s too much work to change after 40 years

Nice! Looking forward to seeing how it develops

I also find it nice and snappy. Two small things I noticed:

• It could benefit from some onboarding steps (ex. Setting the location, not having Tennessee saved as a favourite)
• Some visuals aren’t that helpful since they use a different scale on each day (ex. Daily temperature)

While Voyager has mod tools, I’m not sure if you can create a community in the app.

You might need to do the initial setup on the website: https://sh.itjust.works/create_community

Afterwards you should be able to take mod actions on the app

Neat

I wonder how Google (and the search engines that depend on Google) decide which person/entity to feature in the snippet. At what point would Lemmy the software replace Lemmy the person?

For example, “Swift” brings up the financial organization, while “Taylor” brings up Taylor Swift

New account posting a weird link, so yep. Should be reported and banned

This sounds more like a ship of Theseus style question

Is the person with amnesia still the same “person”. I assume the question would also need to enforce the type/extent of the amnesia
