OBS

helenslunch,

for no reason beyond forced data collection

Meh. It’s to prevent bots and spam also.

helenslunch,

I hope people going “Hell nah” will make them rethink or shut down

This is nothing new, and that won’t happen, unfortunately.

helenslunch,

Not sure how forced account creation would help with either of those.

Because in order to get an account, you have to pass tests designed to tell if you’re a bot.

helenslunch,

Do you really not see the issue with what you’re saying?

I don’t know where you got the idea that I have no issue with this. I’m just saying it’s not purely malicious as you said.

helenslunch,

So you just want to be angry for no reason. Got it.

helenslunch,

Except the act of viewing the site is ingesting data.

helenslunch,

Valve is probably just saying that’s a breach of ToS, so they can basically ban the account.

helenslunch,

Nah, you can already sell accounts and they do nothing

Their policy and what they do is not necessarily the same thing.

there have for example been cases in Germany where Facebook was forced to give access to the parents of a deceased

Giving access to a free account is not the same as giving ownership of thousands of dollars in paid licenses.

helenslunch,

No one said it was an EV problem…

helenslunch,

Why do reporters let politicians get away with flapping their gums without ever answering the question?

helenslunch,

The top Youtubers are making millions, easy…

helenslunch, (edited )

Sounds a lot like Umbrel but with less crypto.

helenslunch, (edited )

That’s because it doesn’t pay shit and destroys your body. Not to mention it gets harder every year.

helenslunch,

Immich does this, minus the routing.

Strava does this, minus the FOSS. That’s all I got.

helenslunch,

Unfortunately there’s no way to express that request without subjecting yourself to exploitative platforms like Discord and GitHub.

helenslunch,

Looks neat

helenslunch,

The problem is it’s being advertised as “an alternative to Threads”

helenslunch,

These kinds of websites are generally nicknamed alternative frontends

Yeah, the problem with that is that frontends are often interactive.

Mastodon could be considered an alternative frontend for Threads as well.

helenslunch,

I know that. I think the problem is, specifically as it pertains to Threads, is that “alternative frontend” can mean different things. Moshidon is an “alternative frontend” for Mastodon. The backend is all the same. So if I were to be advertising this project, I would be making sure to make that distinction somehow. Probably by including “private” somewhere in the title.

Regardless, does this allow you to generate a personal feed or is it just supposed to be a redirect like Nitter?

Building a brand new machine and leaving Windows for good

I’m sick of Windows, and especially what it’s become, and the way its trending looks like it will only get worse. I’ll be building a brand new PC this summer and want to choose a Linux Distro instead. In preparation, I’d like to try out a virtual machine with a Linux distribution. I am solidly familiar with Ubuntu, but I...

helenslunch,

If you’ll be gaming I highly recommend one of the distros that use Gamescope like ChimeraOS or Bazzite. Probably Bazzite.

helenslunch,

I keep anything remotely important synced to my server and regularly nuke the whole thing.

Reminder: The DMV uses photos for facial recognition

This is half a decade old news, but I only found this out myself after it accidentally came up in conversation at the DMV. The worker would not have informed me if it hadn’t come into conversation. Every DMV photo in the United States is being used for AI facial recognition, and nobody has talked about it for years. This is...

helenslunch,

I mean it’s not nothing but it’s close

helenslunch,

I’m not sure it is. Feels like a waste of money. People don’t care. Politicians don’t care. In fact they greatly benefit from the erosion of privacy.
