I waddled onto the beach and ~~stole~~ *found* a computer to use.

Cellebrite builds the forensic tools law enforcement uses to get data from locked phones. As reported by 404 Media, the leak came from someone who managed to join a private Microsoft Teams call between Cellebrite staff and a prospective customer. During the meeting, the uninvited participant took screenshots of what appears to be an internal ‘Android OS Access Support Matrix’ and then shared them on the GrapheneOS discussion forum.

There actually is a TUI client for Lemmy

I guess the small crack can cool off a person faster if the air flow is high enough to make it feel like a small fan. It would break the boundary layer around the skin and cool the person down, whereas a large opening might cause the air speed to be too low for that?

For cooling the entire room or clearing the air out, you'd want a bigger opening

I can confirm, we banned that user and set it to remove their content from lemmy.ca

You were one of the 7 users that got messaged when we were looking into a report about it

It's very similar to Lemmy, and probably the closest to Lemmy out of the other platforms that follow this format.

We tried to describe the differences here

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/fedecan/our-platforms#forum-style

These platforms follow a forum format, similar to platforms like Reddit or Hacker News. You can share and discuss links, text, and images, and upvote/downvote content to decide on what content rises to the top.

These platforms use one of two projects under the hood:

• Lemmy - Lemmy is an established and stable project. It was designed to be very fast and reliable, and it makes up a large part of the forum side of the Fediverse
• Piefed - Piefed is a relatively new project that is growing in popularity. It offers new ways to organize content, such as topic lists, feeds, flairs, and additional moderation tools.

As they're both federated, you can use any of them to connect to the wider Fediverse!

Thank you for creating it and maintaining it!

I've been trying it out and it's nice :)

Neat!

I didn't understand this one, was there additional backstory from previous comics about the Pen and Paper or Guzzler?

This seems like a post about UBI or a post scarcity society, and whether or not humans will be lazy/do nothing if they no longer need money.

So within that premise, those 3 things wouldn't necessarily have labor issues if people can have a good life regardless of what they're up to. I think a lot of people would want to spend time contributing to Wikipedia, FOSS, firefighting, etc. if they were compensated all the same. Similarly, if profit was no longer a concern, resources could be allocated to projects based on need, and so funding wouldn't be a factor.

It's fun to think about, and I think the post has value for what it's pointing out

Maybe they had trouble hitting that atom, and decided to surround with many other U-235 atom before trying the split

programming of physics joke

Yes

While I don't quite understand it myself, there is also supposed to be a time-of-day component to the system. Something about sun/moon/house?

Looks cool! I like the first one 😄

It's possible that their accounts were grandfathered in and already marked as "different people". During the next little while (the exact period is unknown, but let's say 6 months), any new accounts from that IP may get banned, but especially those that are deemed "suspicious".

We don't know the exact details because Reddit doesn't release the details. You might find someone here who can tell you about workarounds, but most likely you'll get the advice to move on and find something new. Most people are here because they no longer want to use Reddit, and I'd say the vast majority is here because they chose to leave and not because of bans

Your device has an ID, and there are various other metrics that they can use

A demonstration:

https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

How does tracking technology follow your trail around the web, even if you’ve taken protective measures? Cover Your Tracks shows you how trackers see your browser. It provides you with an overview of your browser’s most unique and identifying characteristics.

Is the only way to evade the ban to dodge your online fingerprint? (new phone, new email, new ph number. Etc)

Not easily. If Reddit isn't getting enough data from you, and they can't figure out who you are, they will often just ban you again

lol I saw one for copilot which was along the lines of

"Which sweater should I wear today, red or blue"

"I can't answer that, what are you going for"

"Hot"

"Pick red because it will make a bold statement"

🙄

From my understanding, admins can "remove" communities, and mods can "delete" them. The effect is similar for users in both cases, and the difference is in who can restore the community.

This case looks like some kind of federation issue with LW. Maybe that community was briefly deleted/removed as a test, but the undo action didn't federate over to us? The only record I can find about this community is the restore action from 2 days ago

I'm happy participating as a community member, and stepping up as a mod later on if the team could use some extra help. I don't mind either way :)

Oh on that note, would it be helpful to lock and redirect !newtopiefed@piefed.ca to that community?
