I have several addresses at cock.li. Uptime is not the best, around 98%, but free. According to their policy they don't collect any personal data, but they comply with legal requests. https://cock.li/help

You can select from a lot of domains, some of them ar normal like firemail.cc or airmail.cc, some of them are funny like aaathats3as.com, some of them are edgy like cocaine.ninja or national.shitposting.agency, some of them are racist like nuke.africa or hitler.rocks

Because they have different appid. Izzy version is app.organicmaps.web fdroid version is app.organicmaps (you can see this in the url). Google version uses the same appid as fdroid. You can't have two apps installed with the same appid, but this way you can have both installed at the same time.

I guess organic devs wanted separate appid for their 2 versions and fdroid just went with the default, original one.

So the 3 versions:

• Web: built by organic devs, you can download this from github releases, scraped from there by izzy
• Google: built by organic devs, you can download from github or from play store
• Fdroid: built by fdroid build server, signed with fdroid devs' key.

It's bold of you to recommend a google product in !privacy@lemmy.ml

Why don't you just reflash the LOS image? You can get into bootloader, right? If you are there, just fastboot flash the LOS image: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dubai/install/#flashing-additional-partitions

Than you should get to the LOS recovery, from there you can wipe? Or do you need authorization for fastboot as well like for adb?

Or is it a requirement that you need data from the phone?

The source on this is one guy from X (formerly Twitter), from Vietnam.

I mean, it sound plausible and expected, but it's not some official news.

Sir, this is Lemmy, the default os is Linux here.

I checked the post history of @whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works and I saw they commented once in linuxmemes, so I assumed it's about Linux. Also on Windows it's much more easier to change this, there is another dropdown literally next to the language selector.

What is that?

It is translated, and the link correctly redirected me for my language, but I use the official language of the country I live in.

You can change the language if you scroll down, in the bottom left corner.

You can set that up separately, override LC_TIME: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Locale It's Arch wiki but this is usually the same for any other distro

Afaik Bayern German is closer to Austrian German, than Hochdeutch. Hungarian doesn't have that kind of variants because the language is the same everywhere, but 1 million Hungarians live in neighbouring countries.

Do you expect every South American user to set that up correctly? What about languages without country, I guess you show the spanish version to basques living in France?

And I could continue if you want.

The header defines the language, but laws follow political borders, so it makes sense. E.g. which country's eula would you show for a German speaker Germany, Austria or Switzerland?

I'm so old that I remember when youtube raised the upload limit from 10 to 15 minutes for all videos in 2010. Now the length of a Short is a third of what a Long video was originally.

Yes, the overlap between privacy conscious people and deliberately non GMS users are very big.

I read the article because I was interested how they would do it, and how I can disable it. I was just disappointed, that there is no magic, just lazy tech writers are mixing up different things again.

The title is misleading. Currently location sharing is a Google Maps feature and it will become a Google Play Services feature, not an Android feature.

Google Play Services is NOT the only way you can use Android.

Please correct me if I'm wrong I haven't used Google Maps nor Play Services for years. MicroG is good enough for me.

It doesn't help much if your cousins signed up with their real name. If you are male, they can figure out your surname even if no close relative submitted samples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surname_DNA_project

I guess they don't disclose it because they change it frequently. If whatever new arm chip became discounted, they just switch to that.

I noticed this a long time ago, Asus did this with their entry level routers frequently, but they at least disclosed it. You had to be careful, the same router with the same name could be totally different inside, only the revision number changed.

While I see DXVK was important, Valve's history with Linux is much older. I would place "anime girl thighs" on the second domino

SteamOS was first released in 2013, just before they released there first hardware running Linux, the duly forgotten Steam Machines in 2015.

but I don’t see how what I am proposing would make things more difficult?

Now when a user reports a troll, the report goes to the moderators of the community. But in special cases the admins of the user instances should deal with banning. So the admins of the community instances have to deal with reports, but the solution is at the hand of the user instance admins. It's the same as dealing with users from other instances, but an edge case.

My recommendations would be something like this: (I'm just a random user, so it's just my point of view)

• Shut down the fully inactive instances. Noone will even even notice it
• Merge the semi active communities to a handful of instances, like sports and technology... . I've seen active communities move instances, it would be possible, take a look how !europe@feddit.de migrated to !europe@feddit.org. Give enough time for subscribers to notice and subscribe to the new one.
• Allow registration of moderators on these instances, so they can work around the current limitations of moderation tools. Maybe an invite only solution or something like this.
• You could find help more easily if you look for admins for 3-4 instances instead of for 18 instances.

This would be useful for you and other admins, because you would have to admin much less number of instances. They would be still considered small instances, compared to big one, so you still not at the "too big to fail" level. For users it would help community discovery, there are overlap between followers of similar topics, e.g. I have friends who follow both European football and NBA at the same time, I read both selfhosting related topics and about general tech support, etc...

I don't like this kind of community/user instance because 2 instances have to deal with the same problem. E.g. a rogue user can troll on most community instances until they are banned by their user instance.

The instance fragmentatios is not as big issue as it's quite easy to create new accounts. There was a thread about this some days ago here, I also use different accounts on different instances for different topics.

If a moderator is from a different instance, can they effectively moderate? So isn't it a problem if all moderators would be from different instances?

I remember after the exodus community discovery in Lemmy was hard, and it made sense to create instances like these. But nowadays with Lemmy Explorer and with multiple community promo communities I think it's not really hard to find the topics you are interested in.
