I can identify with this. I went on early retirement (5 years ahead of time) because I was sick and tired of an open-plan office that kept distracting me constantly. If I had to get something done seriously quickly, like consolidated month reports etc, I had to do it from home. My productivity was at 50% or less at an office because of constant interruptions, or colleagues talking at the desk next to mine.
And of course senior managers would have their own offices, so they could get work done.
The rule should be, if open-plan offices make so much sense for collaboration etc, then everyone gets an open-plan office, including HR and the CEO. They can also go meet in a meeting room for private conversations.
It's easy to make decisions for employees when you don't have to follow those decisions yourself... want employees back at work, yes then make it better for them.
No as far as I know this was legal requirements around thd right to be forgotten. It costs time and effort so not a feature they exactly wanted to just role out for the good of all.
I'm using the Connect for Lemmy client. OK are you saying in fact that the Frontpage view is then my subscribed communities only? If so, that is perfect (but maybe users just need to know it is their subscribed communities). Most of the sites as well as clients have an option to select Subscribed, so without seeing that I was confused.
Snowrunner for me too. I nearly gave up in frustration at the beginning though, as the trucks are near useless at getting through any mud or water. But the stunning physics and landscapes etc kept me going. Once you have your bearings and get a decent truck, the whole experience changes.
No, not sure you can subscribe to a community called Frontpage? It shows as a default feed though. The only other options seems to be individual communities, but I have about 15 and the idea is to see all of those subscribed ones by activity, hot, etc across them. It's too many to go in and out of individually every time I open the app.
Just make sure when you search under communities that you choose All, as it often only defaults to Local. All should return any communities that match your search term, across all Lemmy instances.
I think I've been looking for the same thing. I see Front page, local, and all the individual subscribed communities I have subscribed to, but how do I see a "frontpage" of just all my subscriptions? After all, those are the one's I'm really interested in.
There are some such as D3.js, and some Python libraries such as Plotly, Bokeh, Matplotlib, etc but I've not used them. Another source may be free analytics apps. But it may also be worth seeing if you can't import your data to something like Samsung Health as the upload does also strip out most normal metadata that an actual app is reading the whole time. Otherwise this app may be an alternative too with some built-in analytics at https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.tadris.fitness/.
It was actually created in 2022 as Calckey, as a fork of Misskey, so one of the Fediverse social networking sites. It has recently rebranded though to the Firefish name. It is a real breath of fresh air though in terms of features and great UI!
They did not mention iOS. I suspect, although they exclude Google Services, it is hooking into some other dependencies. Their Githib project drills into more details on specific Bluetooth LE devices supported.
The wakeup really is not whether it is the NSA or anyone else buying the data, it's about the companies providing the data to the data brokers, who on-sell it. I, just this week, reported a company who state don Google Play Store that they don't send data to 3rd parties, and where in their Privacy Policy on their website state in numerous places where and how they send data to 3rd parties (they actually use the words 3rd parties). I also sent them an e-mail highlighting the contradiction.
The fact is they rely on us not digging any deeper than the superficial statement. Whatsapp and Facebook do really deep level metadata analysis, yet they focus only on actual message content not being harvested. It is smoke and mirrors...
Not at all as I hear about all of them all the time (daily at least). It's just that Bluesky and Nostr are both less than a year old so are seen as the new networks, whilst Mastodon and Lemmy (Fediverse) has been around a bit longer. Bluesky and Nostr's protocols are very new, so many are asking what they are and how they compare. Neither integrate yet (unless you count Nostr's bridge with Mastodon) with the Fediverse.
I'm sorry, but those "suggestions" sound wrong - a chronological feed exposes users to untrustworthy content. The point is an algorithmic feed is unknown manipulation UNLESS the algorithm is known and published. Engaging less is also NOT a bad thing at all, unless you are the platform itself. The inference is that an algorithm will expose users to less political and untrustworthy content? Well, certainly not if the platform wants to generate continuous engagement through provocation and the creation of outrage.
But OK, it is an experiment by Meta, so let's just leave it at that.
