How does an app like Threads get access to financial, political, health, religious or browsing info through your phone's OS. What is the actual source of that data?
I’m trying to understand how an app would even get that info in the first place, how that’s classified and why a mobile operating system even has a way to provide that data....
Why is copy and paste so difficult for Linux to solve?
It seems like for at least a decade every application/framework has had their own paste buffer, and honestly I’m surprised this isn’t “just working” out of the box by now....

Github app browser
For some reason, I recall seeing an app that let you browse android apps available on github. It doesn’t make sense considering github isn’t a repository or anything, but I can’t shake the feeling that I saw what essentially equates to F-droid but for all github android apps. Am I crazy or did this exist? If it’s a...
What are your favorite ways to make lamb chops?
I love lamb, but I don’t think I do it justice. Typically, I just sear it in a pan like you would with a steak. Are there any good recipes or go-to tricks for cooking lamb shoulder chops? Please let me know.
Anything else to consider when hosting a Lemmy instance in the EU?
I’d be really keen to host a lemmy instance but just wondering with GDPR and everything, if there is anything else to consider outside of the technical setup and provisioning of hardware?...
For those who need a cute-induced smile today
Bandit is one of my ferrets, and she enjoys walks. I’m sure most people haven’t seen a ferret walking on a leash before. 🥰

Grade A ebay trolling
I heard today a hilarious story about a person trolling an ebay seller. The item was listed with a £10 target price, which the person thought was not going to be offered, so made an offer of £5. The seller replied with £7.50. Okey then, my offer is now £4.50. The item did not sell. The following week the item was listed...

Pixelfed Global feed: Basically mastodon
Hey there, I finally decided to try out Pixelfed and made an account on an Instance close to me (really nice instance-finder imho). Yet, the instance itself is rather small and when I open the global feed, Pixelfed turns into a mastodon-client basically since all it shows are Mastodon-Toots. Also, all “Discover” Features...
What's your favorite DMARC tool?
Getting really close to purchasing and I’m kinda on the fence between dmarcian, dmarcly, and easy dmarc. However, I’m open to pretty much anything with realistic pricing if you have alternatives to recommend....

Google should go bankrupt
I’ve been so upset with google for a long time. It might be seamless if you don’t live in china or whatever, but for me it’s been pain for years. A few years ago they stopped accepting my credit card. this year they stopped accepting my gf’s card (she’s chinese). I tried to verify my identity with passport images and...

What is a fun childish thing you still do as an adult?
For me, it’s sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I’m driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I’ve loved it since I was a child and I’ll never stop doing it!
We should start saying "Thanks /u/spez" from now on as reddits bad practices made us move to lemmy
