actually the admin of dbzero seems to be part of a project creating free open-source and crowdsourced distributed gen a.i. models and applications. im not to familiar with the details but links are in their profile on mastodon.

for English i use heliboard. but i type in other languages also, and there are no practical choices in foss keyboards for those specific languages which also have the mainstream IME/key layout for my language (not qwerty).
fcitx provides some hope for the future but for now, it also doesn't have the IME/key layout for my language (only has qwerty). hopefully it can also have handwriting in the future somehow (if only via user-installed model/blob similar to heliboard glide typing).
anyway, I'm on Graphene OS. so i wondered if revoking network permission and setting gboard permanently to incognito (is permanent possible?) would suffice to cut off data collection?
edit: FYI the languages/key layouts i need are Japanese via 12-key flick and Cantonese via traditional Chinese handwriting input
considering this and @Die4Ever@programming.dev's comment, could it incentivize certain types of prospective Admins to create community only instances, increasing attraction of more users to lemmy overall but disproportionally burden the user management workload on the traditional user+community instances?
that sounds like a few different, but related sets of behaviors that u-tube psychologists regularly mention
- obsessive compulsiveness
- narcissism
- anxious attachment style
- equating mistakes/perfection ratio with p self-worth, worthiness to exist/to receive love
i don't understand any of the words you just said.
(I'm American btw)
researchers actually succeeded in creating that phone system upgrade. the resulting communication system is the internet and world wide web.
hooray! you got what you wished for!
that's mostly because of
also developed dating simulator game, Love and Deepspace, which boasts over six million monthly active users and is available in Chinese, English, Japanese and Korea
the biggest thirst trap ever 😂
(i wish there was a version to date women.... my wallet would hate that......)
Sorry if this is not an acceptable topic. I will move/delete it if needed.
Just wondering if anyone knows the status of Briar desktop. I was using it to communicate between my devices when internet (WAN) is down, but the desktop client, both windows and linux, displayed an expiration warning for the past few months. I was trying to be patient and wait for a new version, or at least a "renewed" version, but the expiration date has passed and I've had to move to a different messenger.
I read an issue on the git page mentioning the reason for incorporating an expiration date. But I could not find mention on the internet of a timeline or even whether or not the desktop app would be continuing after expiration.
edit: Just saw their recent mastodon posts

... i guess i just have to try to donate and keep waiting. sorry for false alarm/inquiry(?)
Pardon me, but the character is correctly known as Rockman, and is correctly depicted only as a prepubescent human cannonball with one apocalyptic death-ray arm. 😂
So my understanding from reading this (and other threads on Lemmy) is that:
-A majority of Lemmy users would rather the userbase remained small (in comparison to corporate social media and even compared to Mastodon).
-And a small but vocal minority wants to grow Lemmy to the point of being at least one of the choices, if not the de facto preferred alternative, on the mind of most Redditors who are sick of Reddit.
Is that accurate?
edit: formatting
of course this won't be a big obstacle by itself... but eventually they will come after vpns, proxies, and everything else
from searching servers to join, my impression is that misskey servers are even more niche focused than mastodon (there's an instance for nail salon technicians and nail artists, for example) and less federated with each other. they seem almost like forum sites or subreddits with specified topics and membership criteria and/or require introduction via an existing member.
but maybe I just misunderstood the circumstances. don't take my word for it.
