Haven’t heard about this project before. I was using a self hosted Nextcloud instance so far. What would be the benefit of switching to immich? I guess immich does have some advances features, like the tagging was mentioned, specifically for picture management.
I just learned that before their fundraising round Bluesky called themselves a “public benefit LLC” and I thought thats nice of them to benefit the public 😅 , then I found out about US corporate law and what it actually means…
At least link the full article and not just the headline… smh. Here is also the follow-up article with comments from Firefox’s CTO. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Firefox-defends-itself-Everything-done-right-just-poorly-communicated-9802546.html
Honestly mentioning Enchrochat together with other mainstream message clients is kind of misleading. The Enchrochat message client was also E2EE. However Enchrochat was also a company that sold their own mobile phones with a prorietary OS on it together with own sim cards and only those phones were able to connect to each other. And law enforcment had enough evidence that they sold those hardware in shady untracable ways similar to drugs. At that point there was no western government that didn’t want to help seizing their infrastructure and taking over their update services for example.
The bigger problem however for the general public is that certain politicians want to break encryption all together by forcing companies to implement backdoors on client side. This has been an ongoing discussion for 2 years in EU parliament and it has to stop: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/now-eu-council-should-finally-understand-no-one-wants-chat-control
Well just recently researchers discovered a campaign installing backdoors on iPhones using a chain of several 0-day expoits or in this case using also 0-click exploits, where no interaction from a user is needed. However those attack chain are so advanced that practically normal law enforcement would never be able to do it. But theoretically yes some well equiped state actors are able to infect you without noticing. If you are really intrested to see how advanced these attack are search for “project triangulation” or watch the recording from last years chaos computer conference: https://media.ccc.de/v/37c3-11859-operation_triangulation_what_you_get_when_attack_iphones_of_researchers#t=373
thank you for stepping up, I tried to connect with @Alchemy@lemmy.world earlier this year to talk about community topics but I think they are inactive
definitely Progressivist is the most active mod and I agree. There is no rule yet but maybe you’ll get into trouble with instance admins posting 100s of picture at once. I think with some common sense you should be fine. Maybe just post your top 10 pictures or strecht it over a period of time so that we get a picture from you each day/week for example

Found another article analysing this incident and how unlikey it is that the car wash itself caused the screen brick and that Tesla screens generally can run somtimes into those errors and resetting it ususally worked in other Teslas: https://cleantechnica.com/2024/04/18/whats-going-on-with-the-tesla-cybertruck-that-wouldnt-work-after-a-car-wash/
There are indeed many Lemmy instances that have captcha protection, it’s really up to the instance admins if they want to protect or not. Many of those “spam” instances do get quickly defederated by the serious ones.
For years Reddit and Twitter were coexisting peacefully and it should be clear for everyone by now that each format has its pros and cons and they are used for different purposes. Was is a bit interesting though is that the active users gap between Mastodon and Lemmy seems to be much higher than it was/is with the corporate originals.
There are a lot of forks of Misskey which are more popular in the “West”. I recommend you to have a look at Firefish, Iceshrimp, Catodon or Sharkey. Firefish used to gain a lot of traction but there was some personal drama going on with the original maintainer, causing the project to feel unmaintained for a while. Luckily the do have a new maintainer now. Anyway partially due to this problem some folk like the former community manager created a new fork Catodon. Iceshrimp also another direct fork of Firefish. So a bit of trivia from the FOSS Mastodon world. In the you might as well just use Mastodon if you are fine with the UI. But I love that we have so much variety in the FOSS ActivityPub World.
yeah cameras and their software is pretty much one of the few vendor specific aspects left in the android world that is worth comparing and maybe worth paying for. Of course flagship models like Pixels and the S series from Samsung certainly can deal with QR codes these days
I found out that even without prime the delivery speed is sometimes the same here in Germany. They say it would take 1-2 days longer but quite often my amazon packages arrived early. Same for packaging cost. Sometime they adverdise the 0€ shipping costs with prime but it literally is also 0 without prime. I mean they are not lying, just not telling the whole truth xD
It’s 37c3, but thx for the hint. The talk is called Breaking “DRM” in Polish trains by Redford, q3k, MrTick
I will try to watch it on stage, unfortunately still no final schedule available
well I guess he means that Nazis are like cultist or rather any zealots of any religion in a sense that they are blindly following some ideology made up by some guy and that he therefore neither likes religions nor nazism. To saying Lemmy would “sympathize” with Nazism is just plain wrong. Of course he did have a rather weird hobby…
Weawow is a completly (also ad-)free weather forecast app run basically solo by a Japanese guy. I was surprised when I found this app that it was so good in every aspect that I had to donate the guy. It has has more than half a Mio. reviews on google play with an average of 4.9 . Idk of any free app with that many reviews having this kind of rating, well deserved.
Further honorable mentions:
I am proud subscriber since many years and I can say without a doubt the overall best tech/science news page and even most importantly “community”. Like the comments in each article add so much entertainment and knowledge, often I gind myself reading more comments than news on Ars. So many smart commentors it’s really a good place.
