I mean it's a tracker, after all... naming it "Privacy Sandbox" doesn't change what it is. It's as much use as a privacy tool as a wrench is for sewing.
Don't repost my comment onto github issue 317, I've commented there already.
A tagging is something that would be very nice to have and I'm in full support of it. Anyways here are the parts that I'd like to see implemented:
Communities can have inbuilt tags that apply to every post
Users can add tags of their own to a post
There should be reasonable limits to how many tags can be placed and federate (I suggest 5 of each type)
Communities should optionally have a filter list of what tags are permitted to be assigned and anything outside of that is discarded from the post
Instances can maintain a list of "popular tags in the last day" etc. (a /trending page)
The endpoint for aggregating local, subscribed and Fediverse posts by tag is a big feature and should be prioritized. e.g. server.com/t/gaming
An endpoint for filtering posts by tag is desirable: server.com/c/community/t/discussion for example. This could be implemented similarly but separately as a flair, possibly.
Tags should be a separate field entirely to the post body if possible, otherwise they should exclusively be written at the end of the body, to avoid parts of the body text incorrectly picked up as a tag
An instance's slur filter should apply to the tags
Users should have the option to not display tags
Backwards compatibility doesn't have to be perfect but should be kept in mind (e.g. can the tagged and untagged versions of lemmy still federate, etc.)
How tags on Lemmy will federate and display on other ActivityPub servers is a consideration.
I'll add: I think having a limit on number of tags, not just the number displayed is important, to ensure people actually curate their topics correctly, it limits stupid tags like #lol that you'd see on tumblr and it prevents bots that tag everything with 100 tags from appearing everywhere.
Many payment providers would want websites to implement CAPTCHA for blocking spam and fraud attempts.
I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to walk to a store and pay in cash if you don't want to have any data tracking done at all. Online you'll often have to pick one or the other: data tracking, or flimsy security/data protection. The phone solution is appropriate in my humble opinion, but you're welcome to hold your own views on your principles. If you're hard set against a company tracking ANYBODY via 3rd parties to that level, then I bet you will be very hard-pressed to ever find a computer through an online marketplace from ANY company that will fit that bill perfectly and suits your other needs.
Neat idea and concept. I have a question about it.
When you upgrade something in a way that strictly adds to it (in a functional sense), is that still a destruction and creation? I suppose in some way you destroy the idea of what it was before the upgrade, and afterward you have created the upgrade state. Is this what is meant?
As a quick tangible example, if you have a computer with 2x 8GB RAM sticks and 4 RAM slots, then add an additional 2x 8GB, nothing physically was lost but you lost the empty slots that could have increased to a different amount with other RAM sticks, until you remove/replace the sticks. I'm not the best with philosophy so I'm using this example for my understanding. You can tell me if this is consistent with your premise.
I mean, go ahead, fork it, I can't stop you from doing that.
The reason why people still use the main fork is that at least someone is there fulltime making sure lemmy works. Now all the issues that were in Lemmy are now the responsibility of you and the people you convinced to develop for your fork to fix. On top of that, problems caused by the fixes you made also have to be fixed.
I mean it shouldn't be a surprise to any American, slavery is alive and well and explicitly allowed in the constitution. US Federal labour laws aren't that great for free people either.
The fact that American corporations and business are permitted since 2012 to
explore competitive bids and higher profits through our high-quality, competitively priced labor
makes me sick. Between the country's treatment of prison labour and immigrant labour, exploitation of workers for profit really puts the U.S. on par with many 3rd world countries.
I love it! Bear in mind that depending how you distribute them, not everyone will appear appreciative of the cards. Some will not think much of it at all. That's okay, if you can at least brighten one person's mood and have them believe a little more in their self-worth and that random kindness exists, is something good you are doing for the world.
Most paper is degradable anyway you can look for more eco-conscious card-stock if you want, but it's not as important as the act of giving it out itself, for me at least.
Damn I'm curious, how much are prunes compared to laxatives, in the US?
