Bots are possible. Some just needs to program one.

This is the way.

I’m not blind, but I think everyone wants to start paying attention to ownership - internet belongs to Google and is rapidly increasingly controlled by containers - like Meta, instagram and Reddit if we don’t step outside the prison.

In a frantic tone, she declared all of this process to be nonsense (nonsense we had to work with over the last 7 months, so yeah, no shit) and all but ordered me to send her the password manually to her private phone number.

Execs always want security for everyone else except them.

They want security for them and against everyone else.

eee ,

everyone thinks they are special.

TronLives ,

I had to lock an upper manger account for suspicious logins and since I didn’t know him personally I had to get his boss to verify his phone number etc etc, he was cool about it though.

Good for sticking to your guns, you know damn well their would be hell to pay if you didn’t!

Wallabag! I am using it for more than a year and it is great

Glorious!

poVoq , to selfhosted in Lemmy self-hosters. What is your image cleanup process?
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Remote images are not cached or proxied right now as far as I know. Edit: seems I was wrong and there is some image caching happening. For sure for the small image thumbnails, but also sometimes for other pictures, but it seems very inconsistent.

Your growning pictrs directory might be also due to the extremely verbose default logging that Pictrs (and the Lemmy backend too btw) uses.

Sounds pretty fake, she can directly call anyone who reports to her as she manages them, they have the admin privilege to reset passwords for her. I also work in IT.

DarkenLM ,

I've seen some pretty fucked up teams in IT. If she burned the wrong bridges, she can be all kinds of fucked.

I'm not sure you understand how outsourcing works ...

boonhet , to nostupidquestions in Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

Reddit, Twitter, etc, have been running at a loss for ages, burning through vulture capitalist money to build up a solid userbase. Now they need to start turning a reliable profit, which means enshittification of the user experience to make more money per user.

Noedel ,

And the worst bit it even happens to non free platforms.

Like Spotify pushing a TikTok style interface, and ramming my home screen full of things I don’t care about. Like, you’ve known me for a decade you should know I’m not into drake and podcasts by conservative men.

burningquestion , to selfhosted in Podman is awesome—and totally frustrating

I’ve been interested in alternatives to docker for a while now, but considering the way everything is going, tbh, I feel like I’d be more likely to just finally learn kubernetes.

666dollarfootlong , to nostupidquestions in Controversial topic but one that is talked about a lot on Twitter and gab.

Racism of any kind is fucked up. I can’t believe people can give so much of a fuck about other people’s identities or whatever. Everyone, equally, has obligations and freedoms, which we should focus on instead of arguing about stupid nonsense.

Dark_Arc , to selfhosted in Podman is awesome—and totally frustrating
@Dark_Arc@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve tried to switch in the past, but tripped over the differences in Podman vs Docker networking. IIRC Docker is better for creating an isolated network.

I have noticed that Docker doesn’t do the best job at graceful shutdowns (say for automatic installation of updates). I suspect Podman with systemd integration could do much much beter.

kat ,

At least podman does not circumvent my firewall (ufw) like docker did. Had to use a workaround to get it to work with docker.

witten OP ,

Podman respects UFW?? That’s awesome to hear.

clutchmatic , to nostupidquestions in Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

This is the consequence of the fed raising interest rates and companies finding it much harder to find money to pay salaries and operating costs. So companies have to actually seek profit or go bust and CEOs and board of directors are getting desperate and showing how little they understand what makes their products great.

mPony ,

You are so right. For social media, The Thing that makes their products great is us. They are really showing how little they understand us.

Hopefully these instances show that we as the user/consumer can make decisions en masse and have a positive influence long term.

mPony ,

oh they’re betting on users/consumers making decisions en masse ; they just want to be able to instruct us what decisions to make and for us to follow through.
That’s what Facebook has been able to do, sometimes (see: targeted advertising that got elected in the US.)
It doesn’t always work (see: numerous articles trying to cajole people to Return To Office work rather than Work From Home, to prop-up the value of office buildings.)

With deep fakes all around you can’t really trust a phonecall just because you believe that you recognise the voice 😉😆

And the phone number matching, well that can easily be spoofed. Can never be too careful, gotta follow the process.

I haven’t seen any, at least any that incorporate lemmy, but I imagine as it becomes more popular more tools will become available.
